you own a 5s too?
No. There was a joke of calling me iBan when I was like 15 because I intensely disliked Apple stuff. So I'm Iban 5s because this is like the 20th account I've had.

Setro is gone for what....the fifth time or something?
Who?

I'm actually laughing really hard at that. I wonder how much other stuff I'm accredited for. I can just imagine someone saying "I wish that Iban friend would finish the loving Titanic" to his friend all casual like. lmfao

Is Titanic done yet? Are we going to end up with a Titanic server with the bounty hunter game mode any time soon? Maybe super murder mystery on it so it'd be like "The Ship".

Are you even working on the Titanic anymore?
that really religious navy guy made the titanic. not me. I can't build for stuff.

well i linked it because you mentioned about badspot despising modders, when he says right in the topics that he wants the game to feed into itself through mods and continue growing that way. he also talks about how instead of looking for updates, people should work with what they have. i don't agree with it at all, but i think it's interesting how he says the opposite of what you think he thinks.
My opinion comes from what I've seen. I can't say he loves the modding community, but he does recognize its value to the game. I just don't think he now cares, or ever has cared, enough to cultivate that into something thriving. A great place to start would be a wiki.

I think the biggest problem with the relationship between modders and Badspot is that the majority of them are very young and Badspot doesn't like interacting with children.

if you're looking for a good read, try this and then this. i think that's the most badspot's talked about the 'future' of this game.
Badspot's gonna do what he wants to do. I empathize entirely with his point about not wanting to continue work on Blockland just because it's not fun anymore. That's how I felt about CityRPG which is why it never reached the polished state I desired of it. I also don't want to pick sides in any sort of long-standing feud. I got my $20 out of Blockland.

Though if you're looking for something Blockland-ish to invest time in, look up Space Engineers. loving awesome little game in alpha that actually gives the early access system a good use. I hope to see a lot come out of it.

nothing has changed in the game and ephi left after realizing how lame the development is.

In the years I spent developing stuff for Blockland, Badspot never responded to any of my emails except one. I was asking about the parameters for miniGameCanDamage and if the order held any significance. He replied with the function declaration and added nothing.

(direct quote)
function miniGameCanDamage(%attackingClient, %victimObject)

See, this makes me sad more than anything. I can't understate how much learning TorqueScript, and then making the CityRPG website, did for me. I learned object oriented programming, a lot of concepts I'd never of picked up just by browsing websites or going to classes. I discovered MySQL, PHP, the combination of CSS/HTML/JS, all in the pursuit of making a mod that'd people would want to play.

Badspot never really cared about the modding community, when the biggest selling point of his game was the mods. Ephialtes did way more to make development fun and enticing and he did way more to support people by sharing his knowledge. All Badspot had to do was reach out to people. Making a wiki with commonly overridden methods and functions would have been immensely helpful to everyone.

Instead, he sort of despised modders. He constantly stuff talk how low quality add-ons were. He acted like having to make add-on packages easier to install was a bad thing that shouldn't be expected of him. He made accessible features harder to utilize because of things like people spoofing his name and constantly showed contempt for his own user base.


I respect Badspot's success in his industry, but I my personal feelings towards him are negatively skewed in the same way that you might feel about a neglectful father. I feel he let his community down, and I feel he never really cared. The game was a business to him and nothing more.

The Boltser?

lol
ya the aussie buddha guy

night fox had to make a new account
wasn't he an irrelevant furry? what did he do?

Everyone comes back to this game it's like a subtle addiction we all have
it's a bit of a cathartic thing for me, like how all muslims are supposed to visit mecca or something. learning how to code doing bl stuff has done more for my life than anything.

in that case I look forward to the inevitable hilarious drama that he is somehow going to create
Aren't you The Boltser? Why have you gone through multiple accounts? I thought you fit in well here

Ephialtes left. Thats why RTB was removed.
Understandable. Ephialtes is really talented. He put a lot of work into RTB and from what I can tell, nothing's changed around here.

So out of curiosity, has anyone done anything interesting with this mod in the last 3 years?
