I just recently played the game and I'm sort of enjoying it. I wish Blockland had a default adventure mode like this.

Also, you can see your body when you look down!

My entire town is just covered in snow. First it snows in October, never snows in December and now it's snowing again in February.

Weird weather.

General Discussion / Would blockland run faster if minifigs didn't render each part?

« on: February 24, 2012, 12:06:30 AM »

So each minifig renders every single avatar part, the nodes are just hidden. So everyone is wearing the peglegs, dress, pirate hat, pointy helmet, etc.

Now if the minifigs didn't render each and every part wouldn't the game run even faster than before?

Did you guys knew it was possible to have .BLB door bricks? Someone should make their own versions of these.

Suggestions & Requests / Containers for item storing.

« on: February 21, 2012, 11:30:52 AM »

So if you had a storage brick you owned such as a fridge, safe, chest, etc you are able to store things inside it. If you want the items out you can click the brick and there will be a drop down menu of the item you want. If possible try to make the containers remember the items if you decide to leave or re-load the bricks.


We can make this interesting by setting up tools for burglary in which you are able to steal from someone's container once. It would be their fault for leaving their house unlocked anyways.

Suggestions & Requests / V21 house bricks.

« on: February 20, 2012, 11:23:47 PM »

Since v21 is coming out I would really like generic house bricks so I can place around my build for decoration.

Sky scrappers would be a nice touch too.


I don't care about interior, I wouldn't probably want them to be accessible anyways.

I, Lord Tony, your president of Blockland is now going to announce my election speech. I thank you all for your support to make this election possible, during my first term I plan to increase taxes and remove health care. Many jobs will be terminated and the death toll shall rise to an incredible amount.
Also, may ponies run rampant with the blood of the innocent.

Thank you and long live your new glorious leader!

General Discussion / Is it okay to port something from a developer and release it as an add-on?

« on: February 19, 2012, 08:26:32 PM »

So I'm talking to NitramtJ asking him to give me the beta minifig parts for someone to release into a playertype. He thinks it's not okay to do that probably because of a legal issue (he never said what exactly).

So if you take Badspot's models, port them and turned it into a free add-on that is perfectly acceptable and lego has no reason to use?

Lord Tony: hey do you have the retail beta models
Nitramtj: somewhereeee
Nitramtj: err
Nitramtj: didn't mean to do the extra e's
Nitramtj: but I dont' give them out
Lord Tony: Well I need the minifig models so somoene can turn it into a playertype
Nitramtj: they're out there anyways
Lord Tony: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=185136.0
Nitramtj: hmm I'm trying to think who has it
Lord Tony: put them in there, I gave out what little I had
Lord Tony: still missing peglegs and other parts
Lord Tony: was there a dress option in beta?
Nitramtj: can't remember
Nitramtj: probably
Lord Tony: well put it on mediafire or something
Nitramtj: I told you I'm not giving them out
Lord Tony: why not
Lord Tony: it's not like you are giving out the executable program
Lord Tony: just the player models
Nitramtj: they were removed for a reason
Nitramtj: I doubt it's a big deal
Nitramtj: but I just don't want to hand them out
Lord Tony: what reason exactly
Lord Tony: if it's a legal issue that doesn't apply to fan-made add-ons
Lord Tony: lego can't sue for a fan-made add-on
Nitramtj is now Away.
Nitramtj is now Online.
Nitramtj: but that content isn't fan made
Lord Tony: it's a port by a fan
Nitramtj: content still isn't fan made
Lord Tony: it's not like it's default
Lord Tony: or the developer ported it himself
Nitramtj: it's still content from the developer
Nitramtj: given to you by an official beta tester
Nitramtj: I just don't like the sound of that
Lord Tony: as long as badspot isn't including the playertype in default blockland he's fine
Lord Tony: jimmg ported the v0002 minifig without a problem
Lord Tony: now if jimmg was selling the v0002 minifig to others
Lord Tony: badspot has the legal action to sue him
Lord Tony: you can ask random people on the forum how this whole thing works
Nitramtj: I highly doubt it'd a problem at all, but I'm leaning on the side of caution
Nitramtj: I'm not going to trust people on the forums for legal advice
Lord Tony: you can ask badspot or ephialtes
Nitramtj: it's not worth asking
Lord Tony: lego has no case because it's a free add on ported my a member
Nitramtj: Nitramtj: it's still content from the developer
Lord Tony: not only that it looks nothing like a lego minifig, Kre-o gets away with it
Lord Tony: doesn't matter
Lord Tony: you could take source ports from developers, make your own games and be fine as long as you don't charge money for it
Nitramtj: that's a different issue
Lord Tony: unless you ask permission to charge money first
Lord Tony: v0002 is still running
Lord Tony: tbm is still running
Lord Tony: rtb 1.045 is still running
Nitramtj: those are free
Lord Tony: exactly
Lord Tony: if they cost money badspot would force those to be taken down
Nitramtj: eugh, the files are on an external hd, inside a backup zip
Nitramtj: I'm not getting them even if you convince me
Lord Tony: one sec
Nitramtj: and by zip, I mean some really old archive format that's hard to get into and navigate
Lord Tony: v8 lol

Suggestions & Requests / Print waterbricks.

« on: February 16, 2012, 02:43:20 PM »

So it's impossible to add textures to bricks as Badspot explained somewhere. I am sick of seeing waterbricks with stud texture. Can someone just make a waterbrick that is printable so I can put my own water texture on it?
