Drama / I Am Quitting

« on: January 11, 2012, 05:39:49 AM »

Curse/Herb/infiniteLoop/Superb

Quit Note

               First off let me say congratulations Eric (Badspot) on developing a very successful game. Not many are capable of nailing success on the head, so "..A Good Day to you Sir" is deserved. Secondly, let me say after this long journey through Blockland I've decided to quit. Nothing left remains here for me in this virtual world, so I shall move on. A lot of you may not know me, but the few that did/do know me, some of them/you would/will probably call me a "Helpful Blockland Developer" and some others would call me "A Troll". Not the kind of troll you're thinking of, but a troll anyways:

I think Curse is trying to set the record for most bans without intentionally spamming the forums.

               Yeah, me pissing people off yada yada. Though now a days I'd probably be more of a "That Guy That Helped Me Code" or "That Guy That Always Talks About - Connect 2 Chat"
In Return To Blockland - Connect; in the GeneralDiscussion Room of course. Ephialtes, Skippy deserves, a, round, The of, Jedi applause, Droid for developing a nicely written Add-on. If you had looked in the thread I linked in the section above this, you should of came to the correct assumption that Eric (Badspot) didn't really think to fond of me by the continuous bans I was receiving. Let me apologize for acting like that, I am in agreement of those bans, lol.

               There are a few people I want to address and thank; first person being Jetz. He's a pretty cool guy that I met in Age of Time (Eric's other game) where we would hook around (Video1 Video2 made by Jetz's little brother) and do nothing really but tinker with little client side code and chat with the little-but-known community it had. This guy is cool and was one of the few who helped me come up with logic for coding/developing. Second person I'm addressing is Lub because he's sad - hit the weight room! - and sucks at HTML. I also discovered Lub in Age of Time. That is all of the addressments I could find in my wallet for now, "..And a Good Day to you Sir..".

               Since I'm leaving the Blockland world, I leave with parting gifts whether they're relevant to you or not. First off, The Key Event. The first two people to message me will be the winners and those two people will receive my two keys. You will wait a week, and if Eric contacts me or I somehow confirm that he does not want me to give away my keys, then the event will be canceled. The second and last gift will be all of my Add-ons that I didn't toss out (Released and Unreleased).

Add-Ons / Alternative Eval (Support Larger Code)

« on: January 07, 2012, 12:09:52 PM »

This is an eval that connects to a titanpad of your choice and can evaluate code from there.

Be sure to read the How To.txt in the .zip, which explains how to set everything up.

Also if you don't have eval, it's in the How To.txt

I decided to make this quick little add-on, so you don't have to go back to the main menu to join a server.

Modification Help / How do I know which color a brick is when reading through a save..

« on: December 14, 2011, 08:52:54 AM »

http://pastebin.com/MBg3VdYC

So are the colors everything above the Linecount line?

Or are the colors in this:

-218.5 -153.5 0.1 0 1 20  0 0 0 1 0

Because this looks to big to be the position and rotation.

But what i don't know is the syntaxing or w/e you want to call it to open it.

General Discussion / Hosting a fast paced Capture the Flag server [OFFLINE]

« on: December 13, 2011, 09:03:26 AM »

The server is currently: OFFLINE

Hello, I am hosting a fast paced CTF server that requires skill!

The only weapon you'll have is kaje's sniper which is a 1 hit kill (I also made it when you shoot, your player gets knocked back a bit, good for flag running, and getting to higher places). Your player runs pretty fast for maximum fast pacedededeness.

There is a system that holds the record for the fastest flag captures, so try and set the record!

After each round (3 flag captures = 1 round), the minigame resets, you get a bottom print of who did the best (accuracy, most kills, fastest flag capture, and best k/d ratio) and players get to vote on which map/build they want to play on next!

I'll be hosting this all day, I may be AFK I may not be.

I know you are all tired of the same boring, it-takes-no-skill-to-play-servers, so what are you waiting for, join up!

My blockland name is infiniteLoop so look for infiniteLoop's Epic Capture The Flag server.

If you want to build a map for my server, here are the rules:

1. brickcount must be equal to or below 2000 bricks.
2. there must be 4 player spawns for each spawn.
3. the team spawns must be red and blue.
4. the map must be somewhat symmetrical, we don't want one side having an advantage over the other.
5. pm me on RTBConnect and i'll come to your server to look at it, or post on the forums and i'll come and look at it.

Creativity / A town theme instrumental I made for my RPG

« on: November 23, 2011, 01:37:05 AM »

This is the main town's song that will be played.

Tell me how you like it, you can rate it x/10.

Edit: I went with sort of like a runescape-ish sound lol.

Modification Help / Rotation help.

« on: November 14, 2011, 01:31:00 PM »

How can I compare two player's rotation to effectively tell whether or not player1 is in player2's field of view, vice versa.

Example:




                   player1 is looking      ^^^^^^^
                          \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  |||||||||||
                           \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |||||||||||
                            \ \ \ \ \ \vvvv|||||||||||
                              v v v v v player2 is looking

Notice player1's view contains player 2 in some of it, hope someone get's that little picture lol.
