i'm pretty sure they already said that'd come in the s&s update

Right, and I'm saying that I'd be super happy if he added in hooks so that developers can manipulate and observe day and night through code.

Prediction: Badspot will attempt to address these issues specifically to spite Iban for saying he won't.

Don't get me wrong, I'd really like that. I'd be totally psyched if he was going to add new stuff! <3

If he does anything, I really hope he rigs the new day/night system so that we can get what time of day it is, modify what time of day it is, modify the colors of different stages, modify the length of the day.. etc -- That'd all be super neato!

There's nothing like contributing negativity!

I am sorry that the truth is considered negative by you. If I could answer, "Badspot is going to jump in this topic with a fresh-faced smile and respond to the community's requests amiably and with haste observed only by developers that love their communities," I would.

But that's not going to be the case.

When, and if, Badspot replies, he will systematically reject every idea posted henceforth, further back his own logic, and scold me.

We're constantly breathing and none of us are speaking. We're typing and we don't care whether or not you think we're wasting time. It's not your time we're wasting anyways. In fact, you've just wasted time responding to a subject you clearly have not a care for.

Jeez, you used to be extremely chill. Now you're all worked up over semantics like distinguishing between "breathing" and "typing". LOL

You're wasting your time because this, like all other "wow I wish Blockland supported development" topics before it, will accomplish nothing.

It's not that I don't care. If I didn't care, I would not post. But I do care. I would love to see new stuff. I'd love to see more toys to make add-ons with. I'd love to see something, anything, that even remotely hinted that Badspot still cared about the add-on developers. But he doesn't. He hasn't for years.

I'm pretty sure there used to be a Projectile::setVelocity(%vel) method, but that was removed because it allowed projectiles to go over the 200 velocity cap.

Code: [Select]

function Projectile::onAdd(%obj)
{
%obj.initialVelocity = vectorScale(vectorNormalize(%obj.initialvelocity), 2000);

parent::onAdd(%obj);
}

Like you know what Badspot does, you never know.

I've been here for half a decade. I cannot remember a single instance of Badspot accommodating any add-on, besides JVS Doors^{[citation needed]} and Return to Blockland.

I had been asking for years for malleable attributes to the Sky and Sun that doesn't involve deleting and recreating them.

He doesn't care, he never has, he never will. Every add-on that this community makes is below him, not even worth the time it takes to stoop down and stuff on it.

Badspot wont do anything for anybody that doesn't immediately increase the game's glamour to 10 year olds. You're wasting your breath, both of you.

Nothing you've complained about cannot be worked around. Yes, client-side limitations suck, but aimbotters suck more.

The launcher is a non-problem. Badspot will eventually create a mechanism to replace default textures in 3 years or so.

Modification Help / Re: [SNIPPET] Number Formatting

Yes there is

mFloatLength(number,number of decimals);

==> echo(mFloatLength(4,2));
4.00

You did not read OP. He wants a way to emulate PHP's number_format

I've noticed that on many functions there are a few things,
a description when they're shown in a dump
and info about the function/inputs when the function is called empty

How is this done?

Engine descriptions. Notice no Blockland specific functions contain this.

If you want to enter in a description, just test if there's no input arguments and then print instructions.
