Games / Shores of Hazeron - Funky creatures & interstellar empires!

« on: July 04, 2014, 03:02:37 PM »

SHORES OF HAZERON
Website:

http://www.hazeronwiki.com/Main_Page
What is it?
It's a MMO where you build and maintain an interstellar empire in a huge universe with 20 galaxies, each containing millions of stars and planets. You can fly spaceships, colonize new planets, trade and wage war against other empires.

You can create your own empire or join existing ones. When making a new one you start from scratch with nothing but a knife. It can take a bit until you're able to go to space. Bigger empires are usually able to give you tons of money and a spaceship to start with.

Also you can design your own race. And spaceships.

The game is in development, so there will be bugs and lag is (still) an issue.

Gear and I have a moderately sized empire, called Imperium Divinum Novus. If you want to join us, message me on Steam.

Add-Ons / Vehicle Dismount Support Script

« on: February 24, 2013, 01:37:10 PM »

Vehicle Dismount Support

What does it do?

This add-on lets you define where a player exits a specific vehicle and in which direction they are looking when doing so, both depending on the seat they're sitting in. For example the driver exits below the vehicle and seat 2 and 3 at the sides facing away from the vehicle.

It works for turrets and the likes, too. If a turret is mounted to a vehicle, the player will exit it at the position defined for the slot the turret is mounted to. For example you exit the tank turret behind it, but in the tank you exit the turret at the side.

How do I use it?

To make use of it, just a handful of additional lines in the vehicle or player datablock are required.

Code: [Select]

dismountOffset[x] = "1 2 -3";
This defines where the player exits relative to the vehicle. X is the slot number.

Code: [Select]

dismountAngle[x] = 90;
This is the direction the player is facing when exiting. 0 is the same direction as the vehicle, 90 is left, -90 right and 180 the opposite direction. If not defined, the player will look in the same direction as the vehicle.

To use this support script in a vehicle you need to set the dismountOffset for slot 0 in its datablock. The offset and angle for slot 0 act as default values for the vehicle. If a seat does not have a direction defined it will use the one for seat 0. If a seat does not have an angle defined it will use the one for seat 0.

Which vehicles make use of it?

This add-on currently affects the following vehicles:

- About all default vehicles
- A-10
- Advanced Horse
- Apache
- Armored Van
- Bengs 190 D
- Blocko Sedan
- Delivery Van
- Explorer
- Fighter Jet
- Halftrack
- Heavy Machinegun
- Humvee
- Lego Quad Bike
- Microbus
- Oldtimer
- Puma
- T-90
- Turismo
- UH-1 (The one I made, not the old one)

As time goes on I'll add more vehicles. Of course you can contribute and post/send a PM with the add-on name/datablock and the values you set for it. I will then add them. If you wish to have your vehicle(s) removed, tell me.

Modification Help / Animated Vehicle Springs?

« on: May 26, 2012, 10:06:41 AM »

It should be possible. Somehow. But after two hours of search I only know that the sequences have to be named "spring#", the beginning of the sequence is when the wheel is fully extended and that's it. I've already tried it several times and the sequences work but Torque doesn't make use of them.

Does anyone know more than I do?

Modification Help / Problems with particles on turrets

« on: March 29, 2012, 09:55:28 AM »

I noticed that particles emitted from a turret I made vanish when exceeding a certain distance to the emitter. I've tested this on another turret I made (Same problem) and the default tank turret where the particles work fine.

Anyone knows what is causing that?

While speaking of turrets and emitters, does anybody know why particles sometimes are emitted into the wrong direction? The node is facing in the right direction, but I have to give the particle emitters negative velocity values so they fly in the correct direction.

Creativity / 3D Artwork

« on: May 21, 2011, 01:19:13 PM »

Recently I was wondering if anyone here uses Blender (or any other program) for more than just modeling. I'm talking about full renderings, means an actual scene with (more or less) proper lighting, textures, effects, ambient occlusion and whatnot. I am NOT talking about simple renderings that only show a model.

Help / Hosting doesn't work

« on: April 20, 2010, 10:49:24 AM »

Since V14 I can't really host anymore. It seems to work only sometimes. Two days ago I was able to host without any problems. But yesterday it didn't work anymore - I didn't change anything on my router or somewhere else.
My router is a T-Com Speedport W 303V.
And a log file...

Modification Help / Turret crashes BL

« on: March 27, 2010, 05:56:11 AM »

Hey everyone.
Having problems making a turret for my humvee. Basically I copied everything from the pirate cannon and just changed the names. Also I changed/added bones to the model and gave them the names listed in the dsq. Everytime I try to spawn the turret Blockland crashes. The console doesn't complain about anything.

What's wrong?

Add-Ons / Night Vision Goggles

« on: March 22, 2010, 03:17:13 PM »

Finally, working night vision goggles for Blockland!
Just pick one up, activate and have fun. You will never get lost again in the darkness with these.
They are made for military night operations, but you can also use them for spying out your neighborhood. The night vision device offers completely new strategies and possibilities. Spy out your enemies from save distances, take them out without getting noticed, infiltrate the enemys base and so on...

An advice to hosts:
If somebody complains about that the night vision doesn't work, tell him/her to download shapes. If it still doesn't work, tell him/her where to download.

Modification Help / Addon Package and light problem

« on: December 22, 2009, 03:56:31 PM »

Well, my next addon is one thing, that uses 2 different models. The first model is used when it is held in hand, or is laying around. The second model is attached to/gets removed from the player, when the object is "fired" or removed from inventory. Now the problem: Someone joins a server, the addon is downloaded from the server. But the second model is always missing and doesn´t show up ingame for the client (what makes the whole thing kinda useless). It also happens when "Downloading Item Shapes" is turned on.

Second "problem" is just a little question: How do I add a light to a ShapeBaseImageData?

Modification Help / Loading from file doesn´t work

« on: November 29, 2009, 12:42:49 PM »

I made a script that saves informations about players, things like money. That works fine. It saves the data in a file with the Blockland ID as name.
It is simply one number in the file, not more. When the player connects to the server, it should load his saved informations. But, you guessed it, it doesn´t work...

Code: [Select]

function GameConnection::onClientEnterGame(%this)
{
  %file = new FileObject();
  %file.openForRead("config/TestScript/"@%this.BL_ID@".txt");
  while(!%file.isEOF())
  {
    %line = %file.readLine();
    echo(%line);
  }
  if(%line $= "") { %this.pointsCount = 0; }
  else
    { %this.pointsCount = %line; }
  %file.close();
  %file.delete();
  messageClient(%this,'',"You have "@%this.pointsCount@" Points on this Server");
  parent::onClientEnterGame(%this);
}
What´s wrong?
