Modification Help / Projectile Source Identification

« on: July 31, 2012, 10:33:21 PM »

This just occurred to me. I know that Badspot removed the client's capability to getTransform(); for other players, but aren't projectile paths calculated by the client? If this is the case, is it possible to use projectiles to trace back to the source? This would be incredibly useful for making some sort of a client-sided radar system that lights up the position of any and all players whenever they give away their position by shooting.

Modification Help / Brick ID

« on: June 18, 2012, 04:37:36 PM »

This is more of a console question than actual coding, but it still involved torque, so here goes. Is there an easy way to find the ID of a brick after you plant it? Or is there a function like findClientByName() that works using a brick's name as a substitute for it's ID?

Faces, Decals, Prints / The cake is a lie - Portal print

« on: June 30, 2010, 02:59:54 PM »

Well, I have seen a whole lot of portal builds, so I figured one of these was necessary. I don't know if some has already done this, but oh well. This is a 1x1 print, I heavily recommend that you use it on a 4x4 print though.

Gallery / Tasgall's Tower of Orthanc

« on: June 25, 2010, 02:23:25 AM »

I did not make this build, Tasgall (BL_ID 22375) did.

I only joined a server, Lord Gabbon's Bear Server, and was shocked by how good this build looked, so I asked if I could post it, and Tasgall gave me permission.

So, pictures:

This was taken from directly at the base.

This was taken from a ways away.

This is zoomed in to see how big it really is.

Taken from a higher view.

Looking down from top flat area.


Once again:
I do NOT take credit for this build. All credit goes to Tasgall, no help.

Drama / Diggy's administration

« on: June 17, 2010, 09:10:35 PM »

For those of you who don't know what Diggy's Metropolis RP is like, I encourage you to find out. For those of you that do, and know the rules, heres what happened:
     I had joined his server, wanted with 2 stars, and immediately said that I was ghosting, and that no-one should jail me because of this. I waited on my spawn, and was promptly jailed by a player named "Metal", BL_ID 7600. I was obviously upset, because I has lost around 700 dollars for an act that was against the rules. He claimed it was an accident, and I said that if it was, he would give me the money he earned back. He refused. I reported the incident to the administration on the server (Niliscro and Swat725). I was then muted by Niliscro. I then went over to Metal's spawn and started killing Metal. I was spawn killing him, which is against the rules, but I figured since the current administration was not enforcing rules, I would have to take some action. Metal laughed, and informed me that Swat725 was watching. I used RTB's IRC to inform Swat that I was muted, and asked if he would please ban Metal for spawn jailing me. Seconds later, I was banned for what I think is 3 days (5440 minutes I think). Reason: Spawn killing.

Really? What the hell?

General Discussion / 256K Bricks????

« on: May 26, 2010, 05:08:27 PM »

Is this for real??? Badspot said that there can now be 256K ghosts, that does mean 256K bricks now, right? Or is that just too good to be true?

Off Topic / I missed my cat and hit the window.

« on: May 04, 2010, 04:59:51 PM »

I was attempting to sneak up on my cat that was looking out through the window on my back door, and as everyone knows, it is impossible to sneak up on a cat by ground. I jumped, attempting to grab him before I landed. I missed, lost balance, and hit my head on the window. My head now hurts and I am unable to do my homework. I need help. Suggestions?

Looking at the players list on the RTB website, I notice neither 1337 or 13376 have listings. Discuss.

Modification Help / Modeling methods

« on: April 19, 2010, 06:22:52 PM »

I would like to know how most modelers in Blockland, well, model. Some of the add-ons seem to have many separate objects that are then joined, but others seem to use 2-D objects to start with, and then use them as the defining points for vertices. How do you do it? Respond and/or vote in poll please.
