Modification Help / Re: Metropolis RPG Beta Bug Report Thread

« on: December 25, 2013, 02:20:10 AM »

Pheonix here,

Mod is a bit unplayable at the moment. Account got reset (wasn't much, like $60 and 200 lumber) and I'm unable to labor. It states "You are too weak to continue working". I had full Health but Self Deleted to make sure it wasn't a first spawn issue. The problem persisted, so I'm currently unable to gain more lumber to work on my house or get cash for a different job. Unless there's a new thing added that isn't showing up in the GUI (stamina or hunger?) it seems that there's a bug somewhere.

Also, a couple suggestions. First, I would really appreciate more general use brick packs. Stuff like 64, 63, 62, 32, 31, 30 length variants, the missing lengths in the 1-16 length areas, and maybe some more heights to use. Since there is a brick limit on lots and it costs lumber to build, I'd like to use as few bricks as possible. Then about the mod itself, I think that Doctors need a bit of job stability. There's not much incentive to seek out a Doctor when wounded; you'll get pretty much the same effect from suiciding and respawning. I propose that when people die and respawn, they come back at less than full hp. Maybe 80 hp or so, enough to give Doctors a bit to work with, but not so much that a lack of Doctors empowers the criminals.

Drama / Re: Dear Tezuni....

There aren't any Prison RP's.
Just tdms where someone decided to stuff rocket launchers down the toilet.

Realistic RP's tend to get very boring. You'll get more entertainment from that book you'll read while sitting there, doing nothing. If you want one like that, feel free to make it. Just understand that people will most likely leave after a round. Sure, our rp's are highly unrealistic (an endless supply of grenades stashed in a bed? Dead ringers and Invisibility Watches?), but they help keep the place lively and the guards on their toes. Plus, people seem to really want to play here.

Drama / Re: Dear Tezuni....

Mmkay, so this is Pheonix (Tez's only Super Admin).

First off, Tezuni is hosting this so that you people have more selection. I've seen him offer to host other things multiple times, so if you have a better idea for this server, then ask him about it (politely). Don't rag him on the fact that he's not there most of the time, I know sometimes I just want to throw my hands in the air and desert the place because of all the chaos this place brings. He doesn't have to host it; writing out rage filled comments about it won't help keep it around. Not everyone is doing this, but there are some people who have only posted a complaint, and no suggestion on what to do about it.

Anyways, Tez has been on an admining spree, and at last count, there were 12 other admins, so there should be less freekilling that people are getting away with. Also, I've been keeping an eye out for players who know the rules AND have a sensible head. These people I'm making mods so they can kick or forcekill said freekillers until they can get an admin to deal with it.

And in case anyone thought I don't ban enough, it's because:
1. I get people shouting freekill every 10 seconds, even though 90% of the time it's completely legit. Bit hard to keep up with that.
2. Banning people who did not actually freekill can really tarnish a server's reputation, so I try to wait to ban until I get enough people to corroborate the victim's claim, or until I actually witness it. And if two people are being richards and just killing each other back and forth, I let them continue with it as long as they don't bother the other players, then hand out a nice lengthy ban so they won't be back for a long time.

Sorry for all the grief this has caused people, but jail rp servers tend to attract idiots en masse. Or maybe it's just Blockland itself...

Either way, I hope that if you do decide to give the place a try again, it won't be such a horrible experience.

You people are so silly. I was derping around changing names, and decided to use Kal's for a bit and have fun sending one word messages and not replying. Kal and me are butt buddies <3. Also, ponies are awesome.

It appears that Moppy has gone down ._. I'll be posting the log tomorrow, when I have the chance to crash it again.

Unless it logs extra data somewhere in the BL program file folder, I copied the relevant text word for word.

Help / Update

Looks like this problem isn't confined to Moppy's. Also tried joining Pitfall's (out of boredom), and it gave me a similar error about ParticleEmitterData, except this time about velocity.

Help / Unable to load sound profile for explosion datablock

« on: October 21, 2010, 11:25:02 PM »

One day, when I tried to join my friend's server (Moppy's), it crashed on me. It keeps on doing it to me now. I had many successful previous connections, so I don't know what triggered it. It happens only when he hosts his City RP, and doesn't happen to anyone else. It crashes in the middle of loading datablocks, and this is the message that I see in the console: Error, unable to load sound profile for explosion datablock. ParticleEmitterData<<null>> periodVariance >= period. If you guys have a solution that doesn't require a total wipe of my add-ons, that would be appreciated.

Help / Only I get frozen, not anyone else, aka "Lagstuck"

« on: May 07, 2010, 01:07:09 AM »

I seem to have a problem with Blockland that is becoming more and more frequent. What happens is, all the sudden, I lag, and stay lagged. I can't move or speak in the server, but I can use RTB. Everyone runs normal, and I can even see them talking. They can hit me with a wand, shoot me, kill me, pretty much anything that will affect me will get me back to normal. When I look at Net Graph during this, my Bits Sent drops to 16, when it normally runs at 350. Any ideas on how to go about fixing this?

Help / Re: how do you set up a color set after download?

« on: October 23, 2009, 12:11:57 AM »

you guys do know of the old method without RTB, right?
replace colorset.txt with the new one

The colorset file is in the Blockland folder. Go to it, open up config, then server, and you should find it. Open up the new colorset file, delete the text in the old one, and copy the new text in. That's all that you need to do.

Help / Port Forwarding Trouble

« on: October 23, 2009, 12:07:49 AM »

Hello, I seem to be having a bit of trouble forwarding my ports. These are the exact words from www.portforward.com: "The F5D8233-4 will not allow you to forward enough ports, to run Blockland. You should try using the DMZ portion of this router if it is available." Can anyone help me with what to enter in the DMZ portion, and if this will expose me to hackers? (It says that IP entered will be excluded from all firewalls.)

Help / Re: How do you let ZoneAlarm allow players to access your server

« on: September 09, 2009, 08:14:44 PM »

I've had ZoneAlarm before, but not right now, but if I remember right, there should be a list with programs on your computer with 3 boxes for x's and checks. Just check all three boxes next to Blockland.

« on: September 09, 2009, 08:11:29 PM »

There is a mod that allows you to enter ID's in the admin option bar and enable it so only those people can build.
