Don't know how much proof anecdotal evidence is but I commissioned him to make some chiptune music some years ago and he had me credit it under the name Reid VanBemmel.

Blockland mods are just that: blockland mods.

not sure where you get that idea. they're pretty typical and tons of games afford mods way more flexibility
AND don't require you to learn a stupid little language that you will literally never use anywhere else before or after

How are they insane? They're just open.. Blockland runs on a garbage engine.

I feel like this quote from Crook sums it up pretty well:

disagree, you'll be hard pressed to find another engine where you can just slap in new models, sounds, behavior, and mutate existing functionality at runtime. the ability to just arbitrarily spawn in objects, dump their attributes, access objects with container searches and raycasts, run functions from console, is something extremely rare which I've seen in maybe a handful of games.

This is the point I was trying to make in my earlier post.

All they'd have to do to match Blockland is allow people to mod it how they want and incorporate an easy system of mod installation.

"All they'd have to do to match Blockland's mod capabilities is match Blockland's mod capabilities."

ill believe it when i see it

the mod capabilities of Blockland are insane — I'll be impressed if they manage to pull off something "close to as capable."

... because I firmly believe that despite everything, this game refuses to die and I will help its shambling corpse for as long as I can

I unironically love this quote and share this sentiment.

Modification Help / PSA: Sounds are "Broken" on Dedicated Servers.

« on: January 03, 2022, 05:40:07 PM »

Due to unset variables, all default audio descriptions (e.g.: AudioClose3d, AudioCloseLooping3d, etc.) are corrupted on dedicated servers and have unreliable / earsplitting volume levels.

There is an easy fix for server hosts:

• create config/main.cs, if it doesn't exist
• add the following variables to the end of config/main.cs: (after everything else)

Code: [Select]

$GuiAudioType = 1;
$SimAudioType = 2;
$MessageAudioType = 3;

This is not a problem for listen (client-hosted) servers, it only applies to dedicated servers.

forget, i remember you tellin me about the room -> toom autocorrect thing in vc but i forgot what it was again

the room -> toom universal autocorrect is a phenomenon where the word "room" somehow becomes "toom" when a file is left alone for a very long time.

from Blockland Changelog

1.03 to 7

• Fixed tutorial sign reading "toom" instead of "room"

and from 2012/08/10 - Bugs Changelog

Known Issues:

• Fixed Tutorial print 3 says "toom" instead of "room"

Users already have a BL_ID that they can be permantly identified by, perhaps a better solution would be to put a really long timeout on name changes — like a month or so. That way, legitimate name changes can still be a thing.
