Start your conspiracy theories now...

Help / How to measure dedicated server performance?

« on: October 15, 2015, 04:41:17 PM »

/title. Is there a pre-existing thing to gauge this sort of thing?
An example could be the TPS system on a minecraft server where 20tps is running perfectly and on 5-10tps the CPU can't compute fast enough to keep up.

Off Topic / 24/7 Landocraft Modded Minecraft Server (ModPack Requests Open)

« on: September 19, 2015, 05:18:42 PM »

Old thread is here.

Moved from Games because:
1. Off-topic is generally more browsed, meaning it can reach more players.
2. Servers have done it already so really we're just following the trend.

Here's a quote from the old post, new OP coming soonish.

I'm actually hosting lando's pack for him right now! Transferring the old map (or any part of it) is pretty much impossible, so we're starting anew.
It's 24/7 and on a dedicated server, here's the specs are in this post (to summarize, it's good).

Get the modpack (copy/paste this into the search bar of the technic launcher) -

The server ip is:

Games / 24/7 Landocraft Modded Minecraft Server (Moved to Off-Topic)

« on: August 22, 2015, 10:17:02 AM »

New Thread Here: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=285762.0
I'm quoting this from the old post but this needed it's own thread sooner or later. I'll make an better OP when I have time.
It's a modded minecraft server. Details below.

AoT General / Crafting Fix Tutorial

« on: May 31, 2015, 12:24:13 AM »

In an attempt to try to get more people to play the game, here's a tutorial for how to fix the blacksmith crafting which should work. (worked for me and the people I've shared it with)

So without further ado, the tutorial:

1. Give Age of Time permission to write to the files.
There are two ways of doings this:

Method 1: Find your AoT folder (probably located at C:\Program Files (x86)\AgeOfTime\) and move it somewhere else where it can write to the files. Moving it to your desktop will work as well as your documents folder (anywhere in your user folder should work).

Method 2: Every time you start the game run it as an administrator, this rules out the possibly of not being able to write to the files but is more inconvenient.

If you're still using XP for some reason this step will not be necessary since this change was made in windows vista. The hypothesis for this step is that when the AoT client tries to download files, it is denied access to the program files directory giving the error that the files do not match the ones on the server since they did not change. I don't know if this step is completely necessary but it didn't seem to work for me or anyone else without it.

2. Download and replace the .craft files.

Download the craft files, right click and save as:
http://master.ageoftime.com/craft/clothing.craft
http://master.ageoftime.com/craft/cloth.craft
http://master.ageoftime.com/craft/metal.craft
http://master.ageoftime.com/craft/weapons.craft
and then move them to your AgeOfTime\base\client\scripts\craft folder (replace the old ones).

If that doesn't work, you can also try these files.

And that's it! Now if you start up Age of Time crafting (should) work!
I'll probably make more tutorials like this soon, who knows.

Games / Petit Computer - Make apps/games for the DSi and 3DS in BASIC!

« on: March 30, 2015, 01:20:49 AM »

I'm just going to quote the older post I made until I make a better OP:

We have brought back BASIC,a programming language fondly remembered by anyone who programmed computers back in the day. In the golden age of BASIC, it was easy for anyone to write a program. Now we offer you this exact same capability, but this time with the advanced features of the Nintendo DSi™ system. Everyone can easily enjoy creating their own original programs, from those who ever dreamed of being a programmer when they were younger, to the young programmers of today. Many programs are included to ensure that you can fully enjoy using BASIC. The included programs were also written in BASIC, so you can add new features to them in order to enhance your games. You can also take the programs and data you create and convert them to QR codes that can be shared with friends who also have Petit Computer on their Nintendo DSi systems. (Programs included: 12 feature samples,5games, a character picture tool,a background screen creation tool,a graphics tool,and a picture-drawing tool. All programs are saved within the DSiWare data.)


So in a nutshell, it's an app for your 3ds/dsi that lets you program homebrew with BASIC for $8. What else could you ask for?

Programs/Games by other users

None yet!

So basically you can make your own programs in basic. The reason I made this topic is mainly to discuss it's successor: Smile Basic. It's exclusively for the 3DS is coming out some time this spring; therefore you can make use of the accelerometer, 3d, circle pad, and many other new features.

Feel free to share programs via QR codes or discuss petit computer in the meantime.

Off Topic / Fake Blockland indieDB page?

« on: March 18, 2015, 11:48:02 AM »

I just noticed this when I looked at the indieDB page for rotondo's game. I know this happened before on desura but the same thing also seems to be on indieDB. It has a link to the desura page that has now been taken down, but it seems to be the same guy who put it on desura:

I don't think that this is a legitimate thing. The group who made this game is listed as "Badspot" with the only member (who is the leader of said group) being a guy named therayarmystudios, his bio reads "sup guys i'm just a guy who want's to make it's own game i don't add people that i don't know so yeah bye.".

Call it a hunch but I'm fairly certain that isn't Badspot. Either he's doing something more illicit than distributing someone elses content without permission or he just uploaded the demo to Desura or something.

Can we also get this page taken down? It doesn't seem like that big of a deal since there's no downloads, therefore nothing that could be malicious; but it may cause some confusion.

Also I don't know where to post this since it's not directly related to the game so whatever.

Forum Games / Blockland Forums does Linux

« on: March 15, 2015, 11:34:06 PM »

EDIT: I'm locking this because I've been busy and currently have no motivation to work on this, it may or may not be unlocked in the future.

I've installed a copy of Ubuntu Server on a virtual machine and now it's the people of the forums' job to suggest commands. What could go wrong?



You can suggest any command, but I'm not obligated nor do I guarantee I'll accept it.
A few exceptions to this, of course:
NO:
1. Installing malware, cryptominers, software to spam websites etc.
2. Doing anything illegal. (e.g., DDoSing)
3. Suggestions to format the entire drive and similar will generally be ignored.

Signed in as root for now but may change if things get too out of hand.
I have a backup made that I can restore to I feel it is necessary.

AoT General / 24 day bug happening again

« on: March 06, 2015, 12:13:13 AM »

The 24 day bug has happened and now no one can enter shop/woods or Self Delete. I think it also affects his speedkart/build party server, but I haven't checked yet.
If badspot could restart then that would be great, it's getting quite annoying.

Games / Distance - The spirtual sequel to Nitronic Rush

« on: December 08, 2014, 03:00:17 AM »

Distance is a survival racing game where you can fly, perform tricks, etc. If you've played nitronic rush then you know what to expect. This time though, there's multiplayer, more gamemodes, better storyline, graphics, and more!

It's coming out on steam early access tommorow, I figured I'd post a thread if any BLF members want to play multiplayer, etc.

Help / Colorset not showing up correctly

« on: June 28, 2012, 12:02:27 PM »

I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but my colorset doesn't seem to work ingame correctly. I would take pictures, but the hud hides every time I try to take one with ctrl-P. Could someone help me with this? Also, the default builds are colored weird when I load them with my colorset, can I fix that too? I attached my colorset file below.
