Gallery / Tiny medieval port

« on: June 26, 2011, 12:46:09 PM »

Medieval architecture is a massively re-occuring theme in my builds, it seems.
I was inspired by the original LEGO sets.
This build is around 2000 bricks.
I have no idea what it's supposed to actually be. A fortified merchant house with a dock maybe?
The map is Fair lands v2, if I'm not mistaken.

Gallery / Bishop-stronghold

« on: June 11, 2011, 11:52:59 AM »

Click here for the album

25,700 bricks in total, built with a total sum of a couple of hours. No pictures of interiors because there's no furniture. I can provide a save file if anyone wants it.

I got inspired by Estonian medieval bishop-strongholds that were built here mainly in the 13th century by the Teutonic order who annexed the Baltic states to forcibly spread Christianity and eliminate the last pocket paganism from Europe. They served a purpose - to protect the german clergy from pagans, who had a habit of violently torturing and killing the Christian invader preachers.

I tried to keep a fantasy fairytale-esque style with a touch of high-gothic architecture and still make the stronghold look robust and durable.

Most of all I would very much love to hear constructive criticism about the build to improve it. I haven't planned on making furniture, but that might change.

Gallery / Cliff fortress

« on: August 06, 2008, 07:29:13 AM »

Sensei's cliff fortress

Pictures are out of date

It's a fortress inside and on a cliff with a separate wall and a bridge connecting them.
I originally wanted to build this as a re-app to MotE, but I got in anyway. I still felt that wanted to finish it.
All started with the separate wall. Then built a bridge, a cliff etc. Took me over 9000 hours.

Mapping Help / Map model problem

« on: July 21, 2008, 07:45:06 AM »

Sensei's brother here. I helped Sensei with making a map. I made a model in Blender, UV textured it and tried to export it with the script for Blender. When I had the texture in jpg, Torque Constructor loaded it well. When I used a png texture like Blockland, Constructor crashed. Anyways I dropped the dts and the texture in blockland/base/data/shapes/environment and when Sensei loaded it in mission editor, it didn't have a texture. Is there an extra step needed to be taken?

Well I made this interior and I have no idea where I could use it, so I decided to upload it in hope that you have a better solution on where to put it on your maps.

Mapping Help / Interiors not lighted.

« on: October 16, 2007, 10:57:24 AM »

I searched the forum for the answer to my problem. I found this topic:
http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=15843.0
Which didn't help really much. If I need to download an older version of map2dif then where am I to get it? I'm using Torque Constructor aswell.
I have provided the topic with a screenshot of my problem.

Help / BL doesn't start. Drivers are installed

« on: October 14, 2007, 09:41:27 AM »

I'm not Sensei, he allowed me to use his account.

I have an AMD Athlon 1GHz and an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. I installed the drivers (version 163.71) but BL doesn't start, instead it gives me "Blockland.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close..."

Badspot (I think you're the author of BL?) maybe you should code some print statements so that when someone starts BL from the command-line people could see the errors?

Mapping Help / Question about editor...

« on: October 11, 2007, 03:15:24 PM »

If someone makes a map with interior(s) from other maps, does he/she have to the creator of the interior(s) ask first or what?
And what program should I use to create my own interiors? I heard Blender was good, but I'm not sure how to export my props/interiors suitable for Blockland.

Please answer soon, ty.
