Creativity / I somewhat recreated the Slopes map in Unity

« on: April 03, 2017, 01:42:07 AM »

I made something you guys would probably be amused by for about .5 seconds to try out Unity's terrain tools. It was based on the actual heightmap, but it wouldn't play nice for some reason so I just manually smoothed everything out, which means that the smaller details are gone.

Features

• Walk around using the Unity(TM) default FPS character
• Jump
• Murder?

General Discussion / Pack of 'essential' Blockland add-ons version 1

« on: April 02, 2017, 01:08:26 AM »

I haven't played the game in a while, so I've missed out on a lot of add-ons and with the fall of RTB I'm too lazy to weed them all out from the add-ons section.

Can we put together a pack of "essential" add-ons or add-ons that everyone uses? I can revamp the OP to "Essential add-ons" or something with a download to a big pack.
Not only would this make life for me easier, but if we make a Steam community guide that links to the download, it can help new players get into the game as well as old players who have a new PC and didn't bother transferring hard drives etc.
When new players join the game the downloads in servers can be stupidly long, I wonder how many have bought the game and just refunded it because it takes ridiculously long to load, so while this doesn't stop that completely, it at least alleviates it a little.

Download for V1

NOTE
The list is outdated, I haven't updated this so there might be like 10% missing from the pack
because I couldn't find a download, and there might be 10% more stuff included because
I thought it was fitting to the theme.

I tested it for 5 mins and no bugs or conflicts seemed to rise. I found one bug where the audio files
got totally mixed up with each other, but I have a feeling that has to do more with me switching the audio driver
from OpenAL to none to OpenAL again in the options menu.

Feedback is very very much appreciated.

Something I probably should've included right off the bat
was the Brick selector tab shifter, but I'll update it once there's more changes
that need to be made.

Games / Feminist Frequency released another video

« on: September 01, 2016, 02:07:16 PM »

If you don't know what Feminist Frequency is, it's a show where Anita Sarkeesian lies by omission and finds new illogical ways to paint games, game developers and gamers as loveist.

My pre-emptive reaction:



EDIT: Whoops, I intended to post this to Off-Topic. Sorry about that.

General Discussion / Does anyone have the [EuA] Hotel build?

« on: August 16, 2016, 06:52:12 AM »

I think the first server I ever visited was called "[EuA] Hotel", it was pretty populated, so I thought maybe if someone has the build still left, I'd like to have it and explore it a bit.

I've searched earlier, and I'm sure that EuA is an actual clan, but I never saw anything about a hotel.

Should probably add that this was around V8 so 2008.

Modification Help / Spoonfeed me coding advice

« on: August 10, 2016, 11:34:35 AM »

I've been wanting to learn how to make scripts and other stuff for Blockland for a while, but I don't know how to use Torquescript with the game.

I tried asking SeventhSandwich for help in making a baby's first script where an admin could teleport other players into specific coordinates, but whatever he suggested didn't actually work.

So, tips & tricks would be appreciated I guess?

Code: [Select]

$allPlayers

serverCmdTeleport(%client,%player,%x,%y,%z) {
if(%client.isAdmin | $allPlayers) {

%targetClient = findClientByName(%player);
%targetClient.player.position = setWord(%targetClient.player.position,0,%x);
%targetClient.player.position = setWord(%targetClient.player.position,1,%y);
%targetClient.player.position = setWord(%targetClient.player.position,2,%z);
}
}
Here's the code Sev guided me to create.

Off Topic / It's my 18th birthday!

« on: July 28, 2016, 10:13:16 PM »

Given that Blockland was my birthday gift in 2008 when i was merely a wee laddeh, this also marks my 8th year of owning the game or something.

I owe a lot to this game, It's creator and its community such as my English skills, interest in games and really it was the first PC game I ever played for hours on end.

There have been rough times, but they are certainly outshadowed by the nicer times.

Thank you all.

General Discussion / Blockland Memories V???

« on: April 14, 2016, 12:14:43 AM »

Post screenshots of "good old days" and stuff

I personally don't have any, since I switched back and forth between different computers due to divorced parents, so I have literally no builds or screenshots from V8 days unlike some of you guys.

Do you guys remember Irk 89's challenge? Good stuff.

Off Topic / More Badspot & Rotondo Twitch streams?

« on: February 04, 2016, 08:55:54 AM »

There was a time in mid 2014 when Badspot & Rotondo would live stream themselves playing games or developing stuff like a Robotron remake. I'd like to see more streams from them.

I want to see if other people think the same way, so there's a poll so that Badspot & Rotondo can see how many people think alike and want to see more of their live streams.

EDIT: Lets try this again tomorrow.

Off Topic / Pundits say the darndest things

« on: January 26, 2016, 01:53:56 PM »

Video game pundits, movie pundits, e-celebs screwing up and exposing the fact that they don't know stuff. Blatant lies, mistakes and poor arguments. Post the best ones you got. Don't post things people say in like Lets Play's or heavily unedited videos. Scripted videos only, like Jimquisition or Extra Credits videos. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Here's the latest i came across:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvSd_opycoI

This guy does not know how to structure an essay what so ever. Just look at how randomly he is switching topics. If you look at the title (the main point) of the video and compare it to what's being said half the time, you might think you're on the wrong channel.

Here are some more examples. I don't necessarily have links to all of these ones, but they're out there:

• RebelTaxi complains about cartoons using "Flash", when in fact he is complaining about "animation tweens"
• A top 10 Dark Souls facts video mentions that the cutscenes are "procedually generated" instead of "rendered in realtime" (aka an In-engine cinematic)
• Pundit didn't finish the game before making the video, lied or was too incompetent to realize his mistake [MGSV Spoilers]
• Hilarous technological illiteracy, bad research, and lack of sources from the Extra Credits crew
• Lack of sources, no terms defined & more from Extra Credits
• Matthewmatosis comes to an amazing conclusion about how much effort was required  to implement a tail cutting feature (supporting evidence not included)

NOTE: One mistake doesn't mean that the person is entirely bad

EDIT: Don't forget to include a counter argument.
