what if we all just played regular blockland instead and then we might actually have a sizeable playerbase
that's a great idea, i sure hope nobody tries to prevent that from happening by creating another version of the game that splinters the community, that'd suck

General Discussion / Re: Blockland Online and Blockland Glass
« on: July 22, 2023, 04:41:56 AM »
Arent both of them over? What are you talking about? No one runs blockland glass after it was compromised.
shock is (or was?) a developer for glass. it's fine to run, and has been for several months now after the breach, i and many others still run it because there's no reason not to

My thoughts are that it would be best to shutter Blockland Online, take all the add-ons off of it, merge them into Blockland Glass, and then send an update order to all BLO add-ons to re-download themselves with version.json information pointing to Glass' repo instead.  All files, media, comments, view counts and descriptions could be transferred over.
yes
  • BLO has a "Brick Finder" tool that lets you do reverse brick UI name searches, primarily used for finding missing bricks in saves or identifying what add-on a brick is part of.  It would be trivial to move this to Glass.
and yes

yeah i used it a few times when i first had a mouse with that feature but i just ended up getting used to the normal sensitivity i use since it was faster, i wasnt trying to press another button whilst aiming anymore
can be useful at times but more often than not theres not much reason to

It would be nice if the de-compiled source was made public, though.
they have made the source available but they don't allow it to be modified period

this guy looks like my friend.

I've found that BL will not close if I've clicked on a link in the game. It opens up internet explorer and will not shut down unless I kill internet explorer in task manager.
After doing that Blockland will stop running in steam.
that's interesting, steam might be misidentifying new tasks as being blockland

seems to have stopped happening, on my end at least
its habbening again

Did they mean that they just dropped dead immediately, or do they mean it metaphorically? Like, all the traitors are going to be hunted down and prosecuted by the MoD?
Putin's god-spirit killed exactly fifty-thousand Wagner mercenaries on that night, all at once. They were so killed killed that nobody even remembers them anymore.

his complaint here is that a 14 year old girl is cast by someone who looks like a 14 year old girl
cast by someone who looks like an ugly 14 year old girl*
the context might be questionable sure but his observation that one looks better than the other is based in truth

You picked the day of all days to revisit. Badspot is alive and has made 5 posts and 2 edits today. It really is a event.
that doesn't really solidify how much it is the day of all days to revisit and ask that question, he's practically been MIA on the forums for several years only banning people on occasion, but today/yesterday he abruptly showed up with several posts, so he REALLY picked the day of all days to revisit.

How is this community still together?
how the forum is still together i have no idea. i guess most of us just keep coming back as a habit, most of the community has since migrated from the forum over to discord servers, which i think is what is keeping the wider community together. without them i don't think we'd see anybody playing anymore. it's thanks to those servers that we still have new content to keep the heart beating (albeit rarely nowadays)

I would very much appreciate if anyone could catch me up with what's going on in the community.
Is it just the stone cold veterans still around? If so what have you all been up to on here?
we still have new people showing up but that's not common anymore, we did get a recent "surge" (it was probably like two people at most) that came from a video that mentioned blockland
but basically yeah it's primarily just veterans. v20 is still a recent memory to most of us, if that helps to get a good grasp

as for what's been going on, nothing major except for the blockland glass breach but soldier101 brought that up already. there's two gamemodes that have been pretty successful on bl, age of dungeons and farming, can get a good party of people on those at certain times. there's also someone working on updating blockland, biggest features i can recall from it is being able to download addons from a server whilst it's running and whilst you're playing, missing an addon? simple as just enabling it and it gets sent to all of the clients. pretty handy. shaders have also been made to work with maps (according to badspot this just wasn't feasible but here we have somebody only able to reverse engineer managing to get it working). but don't get your hopes up because this project will probably suffer from a lot of problems, likely mismanagement considering the specific community it's being developed in and also the fact it can't easily advertise itself, it's a niche community inside of an already niche community, so probably won't be a lot of people flowing into it i honestly think restarting on a new engine and new community is the best way forward though, so i might be a little biased about this project

i don't know how long you've been away for but if it's been a long time, then the other major thing on the block is brickadia, a successor game that started development a few years back but god it is plagued with so much controversy, child enthusiasts, very poor moderation, terrible project management, awful community yadayada. good building mechanics and nice website design but that's all the positives i have to say about it

but we haven't been up to much except the same old things. freebuilds, speedkarts, dms, roleplays, and just hanging out outside of bl.

na rw orgs are captured by feds to be demagogues, rope isnt coming unless u think thiel and online hyperborea posters will spontaneously rise up when nick instructs it on a livestream. that isnt how political organization works and you will continue to be zogged through the thousand year bugpaste reich. there is markedly less anti-gay/jew/trans/helicopter violence than any other time in history
the way i see his point of "the pendulum is swinging back" is that LGBT is still nowhere near being widely accepted throughout the world, i'd estimate at most 30% of the world's population are at the very least ambivalent about the topic, and less so perfectly happy about the topic
this "pendulum" swung too fast too far, only managing to get some acceptance, and it's being pushed too hard now and we're seeing it "swinging back". see the major rise in mainstream resistance to the movement, bud light is a recent and great example of this, a simple boycott like that caused serious ripples. or all of the anti-trans/gay laws being passed and celebrated. zoomers with their own gigachad superstraight vril waffen tiktok edits.
it's pretty clear that there's enough pushback to make LGBT fall over. whether the day of the rope will be one of violence, or one slowly marched to through politics and methodical persecution, the fact remains that such a day is in sight
