Suggestions & Requests / Building a mod, taking request

« on: December 26, 2013, 11:06:59 PM »

I am bored out of my mind and I need something to do. I have decided to let strangers decide the specifics about the mod.

Current Ideas:

• New CityRPG gamemode (might not because Vaux)
• Some kind of medieval RPG thing (I don't even know the specifics)
• Scripted arcade kind of gamemode
• Accepting random scripting requests
• Image viewing client mod
• blockland social media service (like some kind of blockland twitter thing)
• doing something in another language

If you have any ideas for things not in the list, please address them, otherwise post which you feel would be best and specifics about it that you would like to see

« on: December 25, 2013, 05:16:26 PM »

But MARBLE MAN, this has already been made!!!
Well, I didn't know until after I made this mod.. Thanks.

I'm releasing my version anyway because "Ownershipper" isn't obvious enough for my pea sized brain


Turning a wall of bricks into public bricks

This wand is Orange! It highlights bricks to be orange too!
It selects the Exact same way the duplicator does
It makes bricks public bricks
It has some protection to make logic bricks lag less!


Admin only by default, although it does have some RTB Prefs:

AdminOnly
Max Bricks
Max Bricks (Non-Admin)
Trust Level
Selection Timeout
Selection Timeout (Non-Admin)
Flood Ignore

/publicWand - Gives you the thing
/pub - Same as above

>>Download<<
Requires Plornt's duplicator

Suggestions & Requests / Login with steam

« on: December 17, 2013, 08:24:50 AM »

I think steam users should also have the privilege of being part of the blockland forums, and because they can't get their keys, login though steam should be implemented.

Drama / Cca 4669 & 26141 / Aduioa 44688 Admittance to trolling

« on: October 27, 2013, 12:40:19 AM »

His forum account

RTB 4669
RTB 26141
RTB 44688


discussion


He was previously banned for hacking/crashing servers


admittance to trolling after pretending to be paid for moderating some clan/group on a server

he is admin on many servers
I suggest you don't admin him

he may seem nice, but he weaves his way into your relationships with other users and it makes me sick

I have talked to him about this drama and I've had a long discussion with him, This is what I showed him

his reaction to what I showed him

He believes I lured him into this, but I was unaware that this would happen


I expect to see people defending Cca because they are his friends and they think he's a good admin

I'm not saying he's a bad person, he's actually pretty nice, I just don't think he's cut out for administration
Also admittance to trolling

Modification Help / Correct client sided eye vector

« on: October 19, 2013, 03:27:22 PM »

I'm trying to get the correct vector for a client's eye point while driving a vehicle


function getmyeyepoint()
{
   %player = serverconnection.getcontrolob ject();

   if(!isobject(%player))
      return "0 0 0";
   %pos=%player.getPosition()
   %vec = %player.getforwardvector();
   %scale = %player.getscale();
   %x = getword(%pos, 0) + (getword(%vec, 0)*0.14 + 0.002)*getword(%scale, 0); //me no likey
   %y = getword(%pos, 1) + (getword(%vec, 1)*0.14 + 0.002)*getword(%scale, 1);
   %z = getword(%pos, 2) + (getword(%player.getdatablock().boundingbox, 2)/4.92 + $mvTrigger3*1.53 + 0.002)*getword(%scale, 2);
   return %x SPC %y SPC %z;
}


muzzle vector in vehicles is always forward in first person, is there any way to fix this?

Playing Castle Defense
Back to top
Description:
Use your bow and sword to stop the enemy breakers from destroying your castle.
Each wave, there are more and more enemies that do more damage for longer time.
Use upgrades you can buy from the castle (See Buyables) as defense to stop the enemies.
If you fail to defend your castle, it will fall.
General:
One person is the buyer who is in charge of keeping the castle in check!
You get money when you kill enemies, you also defend the castle, killing enemies is a good thing.
Click the castle to get back up onto it.
Click rocks to push them around to form a wall.

/commands - Get a list of commands


Being the buyer
Back to top
Only one person can be the main buyer, however A democracy allows people to vote for different buyers, and another command allows players to use their own points if the buyer is inadequate.
When buying, your goal is to keep the castle at full capacity for as long as possible.
As well as using units to defend the castle, other players have to defend the castle as well, because the units you spawn have durations and must be replaced
frequently.
Actually buying stuff:
Get on the castle
Look at your options
Look at how much money you have
Buy something logical

Don't create too many votes, because you will be automatically kicked

Modification Help / Aiming Algorithm

« on: October 02, 2013, 12:36:56 AM »

I'm trying to make an AI Player be dead accurate with it's aim

I have some "meh" code

function AIPlayer::predictPosition(%obj,%target)
{
   %sp=%obj.getMountedImage(0).Projectile.muzzleVelocity;
   %d=vectorDist(%obj.getMuzzleVector(0),%target.getEyePoint());
   %m=0.00012*%d+getRandom()*0.001;
   %pos=vectorAdd(%target.getEyePoint(),vectorScale(%target.getVelocity(),%sp*%m));
   %add=vectorScale(vectorCross(%obj.getEyeVector(),%obj.getUpVector()),-0.5);
   return vectorAdd(%pos,%add);
}

It works great...  for only the gun image and a few other items..

I'm looking for a more accurate version of this that works with any image, I know it exists, I just don't know where to look.
google and forum searches have not turned up anything helpful.

Does anyone have any idea on client sided rendering, like the how the missioneditor draws polyhedrons?
