Add-Ons / Ubuntu Skin for Blockland [v1.0]

« on: June 25, 2011, 04:38:08 AM »

Blockland Ubuntu Skin

The old scheme got old, so why not use the loveiest flavor of linux's?!

Features

• Ubuntu Mouse
• Ubuntu Buttons
• Ubuntu Scrollbars
• Ubuntu Window Skin

Instructions

Easy
Download the GUI Replacer add-on from http://gr.dataorb.net/ and install it via this.

Manual
Ubuntu Skin for Blockland is not a normal add-on. This add-on reskins much of the game's base files, and should only be installed manually if you have installed a number of add-ons manually before and know how to.

To install this add-on, first unzip the folder onto your desktop. Then navigate to your Blockland directory. This is likely to be C:\Blockland or C:\Program Files\Blockland. Open the "base" folder, then the "client" folder, then the "ui" folder. Open the "ubuntu" folder on your desktop so that you see the images for the skin. Drag these images into the ui folder. When asked if you want to replace them, click "Move and Replace". I also saved the base skins if you want to revert, so you don't have to worry about backing up the old files if you don't want to.

Once you have replaced the original game's skin files with the Ubuntu skin, you just have to reopen Blockland for it to work. Enjoy the new theme!

Download
Ubuntu Theme
Default Theme

Note
Reskinning Blockland will not break your game. If you mess up the installation, replace your ui folder with the one in the "Default Theme" link, and your Blockland will work fine.

Off Topic / What the forget is a bitcoin

« on: June 21, 2011, 03:45:18 AM »

So, as I was lulzing at Ghost's broadcast, I heard a mention of bitcoins, which I've heard of a time or two before. I decided to actually look up what it was, and it seems like the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

This is my understanding of a bitcoin:
1. Open bitcoin program
2. Wait 10 minutes, generate 50 bitcoins randomly
3. Sell these 50 bitcoins that you just generated out of thin air for real money or buy something with it

Why the forget would anyone accept a currency that was just randomly generated, this makes no sense to me it completely defies the concept of an economy, you get money for doing zero work besides leaving a program open idling as you go about your business and it generates completely loving pointless hashes and compares them to other hashes. Honestly, you might as well just generate a number 1-5000 and check to see if its 243 700 times a second and if it is give them free money.

Someone explain this to me because it makes no loving sense what so ever.

11 large images are going to load, if they haven't already. Be prepared.


All of these were collected in the past 2 months as a project of mine. My website scanned the master server every 30 minutes and placed all the servers into a database, which outputs to those images. This is our community. I am ashamed.
