General Discussion / Re: Blocko Lego Pieces

You can find out how many times a word is in a document using a word editing program. The blockland saves .bls are just text documents, so we can use that function.

Load up your save file of choice, look for the block you want to find. Go to the replace all function and replace it with itself.

I use Edit Plus.

So it looks like this, go to search->replace

Find what : 8x8F
Replace with : 8x8F

then hit replace all. That will show you how many times that block is in your build.

As for the color, I did a little testing. I think it is easy to see this too.

Look at this below :
1x1" 101.75 -115.75 286.7 0 1 0  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -116.75 286.7 0 1 1  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -117.75 286.7 0 1 2  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -118.75 286.7 0 1 3  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -119.75 286.7 0 1 4  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -120.75 286.7 0 1 5  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -121.75 286.7 0 1 6  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -122.75 286.7 0 1 7  0 0 1 1 1
1x1" 101.75 -123.75 286.7 0 1 8  0 0 1 1 1

I chose the standard colors, made 1x1 bricks with each of the 9 colors if the 1st column. So it starts 0 and counts all the way to 8. The first brick,  0 stands for first column red. The last brick is 1st column brown. The rest of the numbers deal with if it is undulating, chrome etc.

edit: I did a little more testing, the column that counts from 0 - 8 actually goes higher if you add colors from more columns.

And the save file for all of them so far :

Something to remember, these builds only look okay from far away. Your blockland character is actually about 50% larger than an official lego person, as per scale from one 1x1 brick in game vs. real life. You can't really fit into some of the spaces in the builds. In some places I fixed it up a little but not usually.

My favorite is the fat New Jersey guy, who shows up several times throughout the show. He always adds or drops s'es. When I find out his name I'll vote for him.

Whenever I quote someone I always hold up two fingers on each hand and curl them down "like this" so that everyone thinks I am a jackass.

I like the idea of a massive castle complex, wherein a tiny room sits with you at the computer

Very nice interior by the way.

If you want to show off your official creations, please do! I don't mind sharing the page in this thread.

I did try to stay away from too much improvisation. I tried to keep, brick for brick, exactly what was in the instructions as much as the limited tools in Blockland allow. However, that meant I had to sacrifice some aesthetic perfection in some places, particularly for stairs and other pre-fab pieces.

Though I would really like to see what you have so far.

I know this is off topic but earlyer you posted you had rc mod can you please port or give me download link so i can have someone els port?

And I think this is in the wrong thread.

I actually have several of those wizards in a box in a box in my parents' house.

And a teaser for my next one, since this first part took so friggin long.




It was so hard getting that baseplate 1 for 1 exactly right. The later lego builds I think will all be hard like that.

2nd one no dragon >:(

I tried to make the dragon, but it is very hard to make it with such big pieces. The dragon in the set in the real world is make of like 2 pre-fab pieces. If I were to try to make the dragon, it would have to be my own interpretation of the dragon at a much larger scale than is in the drawing. I might start a dragon build, but that didn't seem to fit with the theme I was going for.

I realized when I was reminiscing about legos the other day that I was not a very creative person. Every time I try to create something in blockland, it turns out it was actually already a thing I made as a dumb kid and didn't realize it until I was done with it.

Then, I decided that I wanted to remake old castle sets with real legos, but I couldn't find all the pieces. So here we are: approximates of lego builds as closely as I could make them using Blockland. Brick per brick as in the instructions.







Some problems I had were with recreating the pre-fab pieces. Rock walls, staircases, battlements, etc. I tried my best but that is really I feel where I could improve. Also, obviously no rotating pieces.

Honestly, exams and finishing the semester got in my way. Now that's all over, and finding a job is next on my to-do list.

I noticed a lack of a beginner's guide. If another member of the forum was working on this already, then by all means take over. But if no-one else is working on it, that's my purpose here. Just trying to make this place a little more noob friendly is all. I don't see a lot of love around here.

Don't expect there to be any fast updates or completions. I really love this game, but frankly, it's just a beta game with a lot of potential. I'd like to make a starters' guide, but real-life issues are more important to me.

Anyways, take care. And thanks for the infos Wedge.
