Help / Ownership Saving Issue

« on: September 26, 2012, 08:16:35 PM »

Everytime I save the bricks, close the server, open it again later, then load the bricks, the ownerships of the bricks have screwed up. Completely random bricks that are owned by others end up with my ownership, but the rest of their bricks are perfectly fine. My bricks that I made are still fine. When I save the bricks, it is checked to save the owners, and same for when I load the bricks. This has been extremely annoying because everyone can't build half of their builds without my trust.

Clan Discussion / World of Blockland [WoB] - New Clan!

« on: September 24, 2012, 11:06:16 PM »

World of BLOCKLAND
Graphic coming soon!

Disclaimer: World of Blockland is NOT related to World of Warcraft in any way!

WoB is an attempt at a unique clan, where we capture the essence of both Blockland and anyone is allowed to join, but you are considered a true member when you help out the clan. We try to change things up every now and then to keep everything interesting and exciting.

Current World: Space RP -WIP
Current Project: Space RP

News

• 9/25/2012 - The clan has been officially created, we hope that it is a wonderful success!

Projects
Space RP
Server's current world. Work in progress, anyone may help.

To view full project: Space RP Album

The current progress on the first station.

The first real project of the clan! Space RP is just as the title suggests, except that you can do nearly whatever the hell you want (except breaking obvious server-wide rules) and it is based mainly off of the game Space Station 13 (Wiki). The game is free, awesome, confusing (read through wiki), and random as hell. I suggest you check it out and maybe even give a go at playing it (probably will die)!

This is currently a work in progress, so you can come by whenever the server's open and build anything space related. If it is good enough, it will be accepted into the final build.
We are currently looking for builds of:

• space ships
• small space stations
• abandoned or worn down space stations
• space rocks such as asteroids, planetoids, etc.
• alien creations
• random space debris or junk
• unique structures
• plants and alien plants

Ranks
In order to be part of the clan, just put 'WoB-' in the prefix, or '-WoB' in the suffix.

• Guest - Just as the name says.
• Newbie - A new player to WoB! Anyone with the WoB clan tag.
• Member - A player who has helped out or contributed to the clan.
• Greeter - The person to ask for help. Must be a member of WoB, just ask an admin to become one. You are trusted with helping new players and being friendly, you're status may be removed if you do not do this.
• Builder - An excellent builder who has helped with many of the clan's projects' architecture.
• Eventer - An excellent eventer who has created unique contraptions for the clan.
• VIP - Usually a well-known player from another server. Treat them with respect.
• Admin / SAdmin - The admins of the server. Usually they are long-term members of the clan or trusted friends. Either way, they deserve their rank.
• Host - The host of the server and the head of the clan. (This is currently me, Katz)
  

Additional Info
Rules
Type /rules while in a WoB server to read the rules.

• DO NOT ask for admin, ever! You may get kicked or banned.
• NO racism, loveism, offensive behavior, or anything similar!
• NO spam type builds, unless used as decoration or art! Your builds will most likely be deleted.
• Please use at least half-decent grammar and spelling. If you do not follow this rule, you most likely won't get helped.
• DO NOT spam the chat.
• DO NOT annoy other players while they are building, working, or if they ask you to stop. This includes firing weapons constantly, playing loud sounds, and blocking their view.
• DO NOT ask for the host's trust unless you have a VERY good reason.

Modification Help / (Solved)

« on: September 12, 2012, 10:32:44 PM »

So I'm beginning to program things in TorqueScript, and I'm trying to make a serverCmd function.

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdRules(%client, %ruleNum) {
if(!ruleNum) {
messageClient(%client, ' ', "[unimportant message]");
return;
}

switch(%ruleNum) {
case 1:
messageClient(%client, '', "Rule #1");
case 2:
messageClient(%client, '', "Rule #2");
case 3:
messageClient(%client, '', "Rule #3");
// so on . . .
default:
messageClient(%client, '', "[another unimportant message]");
}
}

What I want it to do is when I type '/rules' it will display the unimportant message. When you type '/rules 1' I would want it to skip the unimportant message and display the info about the rule.

So when I type '/rules' that part does as I want, but when I type '/rules 1' it still only displays the unimportant message and doesn't display the info about the rule. When I execute the file, the console says that the 2nd line always defaults to 0, but I'm not sure how to fix this.

All help would be appreciated.

General Discussion / Creating a Clan

« on: July 15, 2010, 03:59:32 PM »

Creating a clan is more complicated than you think. Creating a clan requires time and effort. I have made this thread to help the people who wish to create a clan, but do not know how. If you wish to create a clan, then you can't instantly say "Hey, I'm going to create a clan, then everyone will like me!", you have to think it through. If you wish to create a clan, you must have friends to help you along the way. Those friends mustn't be any random old friends, they have to be good Blocklanders, they have to be people you know, and have known, the must know you. The friends and you are the core of the clan. Now, if you wish to create a clan, keep in mind that clans can become communities. If you wish to simply create a community itself, it'll be harder than a clan. A clan is a group, they may freely make decisions and are quite exact with what they are doing. Communities are bigger, they are parts of Blockland, they are to help other fellow Blocklanders. If you would like to create a clan or community, you have to have your friends decide this too. Two friends is a little too small, but will work, I suggest 3 friends or more. When creating a clan or community, you mustn't leave out your friends. When you start, your group, must decide if they would like a clan, or a community. The group will have to think of the advantages and disadvantages of each. Once this is complete, you shouldn't vote, you'll have to say your final decision, and listen to others. If you all don't agree on one, then you'll have to keep working together to decide. Once you have decided clan or community, your group will have to have a purpose for it. The purpose is very important, this will help with the other decisions. A good purpose is to help newcomers learn how to build or event. Once this is done, you may think of the name, the name is like a road sign, it shows where people are headed. The name must be well thought out, it must be related to the purpose. No creating a website, or forum page yet. You have to try out the clan with your group, see if you like it, then you'll let others know of it, you'll help them and introduce them to your clan or community. If your group is a clan, then you may want to make some simple clan builds or so. If your group likes the clan or community, then you may continue one. If it's not too great, then you'd probably prefer joining a community or clan, and seeing how they handle theirs. Once your group decides that the clan or community is good, enjoyable, and helpful, then you may make a thread and/or website. Your thread and/or website must contain the history of how your clan started, and how it will help others. This is the correct way to create a clan. If you have any questions, comments, or want me to add anything, then please post.

Suggestions & Requests / Dedicated Mandatory Minigame

« on: July 09, 2010, 08:24:16 PM »

Sorta an extension to mandatory mini-game: You have a dedicated server and a mandatory minigame, you want to leave, but the minigame will end while the server being dedicated serves no purpose anymore. Most of the time you need a minigame for your server, and when people say "OMG, this is the bestest server ever!!!", then you'd be sad to have the mini close. I thought of this when I was at my ZAPT server, everyone was loving it, then I had to leave.

Maps / World Warfare

« on: June 19, 2010, 11:40:15 PM »

This map is my first, but tried my best to make sure it was working correctly. I created this map because a couple days ago I was wanting to make a DM, but wanted it to take place in all settings (ex. Snow, Desert, etc) and I didn't want to make the landscape out og bricks. So I thought "Maybe I could create a map with all settings for my DMs?". And so I made this. The name is World Warfare of course. Here are the pics:
This is the preview image.

The desert area, this is where you spawn.

The big dirt area, let's just say there was an accident with a rocket.

A rocky area, there used to be a big boulder here, but eroded into gravel.

A few mountains with snow on them.

A snowfilled area.

A grassy area, A few hills too.


And the download: World Warfare
I wish to know from you if this is good enouph to be put onto RTB.

Suggestions & Requests / Building Realism

« on: May 31, 2010, 12:07:56 PM »

In real life, you can turn the legos and connect them to those side bricks and such. You can even build your own vehicles. I was thinking:

Hmmm... why not I make an add-on that can do this? It might take a long time but it's worth it!

a couple minutes later I thought:

Wait, I wonder if this is even possible?

I wish for you good people of BL and Earth to help tell if these are possible.

• Rotate Bricks - To rotate a brick any way and place it somewhere (ex. the ground)
• Extra Connecting Bricks - To have special bricks that can have extra connecting spots on there sides, bottoms, etc. This also includs those special gear things.
• Buildable Vehicles - Vehicles in which you can customize to your liking. Includes wheel bricks.
• Brick Gravity - If you plant a brick in the air, or at an angle it falls, rolls, etc.

I think I had more but might have forgotten, so I might be posting more. I wish for you to help me decide if these are possible. Put some time into thinking.

Suggestions & Requests / Cats

« on: May 09, 2010, 11:37:29 AM »

I named myself 'Katz' for a reason. But I cannot find what I'm looking for. What would be nice is if someone would make a cat player type, maybe it could look like the lego cat. If not then a few cat decals and if someone wants to get creative, then you may make cat ears hat. If you agree then make a post. If not then don't be mean.

P.S. If you decide on decals, use the Blocky way of doing so, don't search the internet for a crappy picture that you'll just throw on ther.

Suggestions & Requests / Meteors!

« on: May 01, 2010, 11:14:58 AM »

When I was looking at BobandRob's snow mod I thought, besides having snow and the suggestion of rain, why not METEORS!!! You could choose when it happens, how big/small they are, if they're on fire, and if they kill or not. If you support this neat idea, then say so, if not, then don't post. You may add ideas too.
