Drama / Jurt`s Goodbye

« on: May 20, 2009, 05:28:21 AM »

Damn, I hardly believe I am typing this...

Anyway, the story:

About 1.5 months ago my broadband server got hacked. It caused a "Spam Bot" to appear, which blocks my access to ALL SMF forums - including this.
I, however, found a way to get here: from my school computer. This is when I e-mailed the support, and, they refused to do anything to "such minor issue".
So I kept checking these forums very Wednesday,until I realized I am two weeks away from summer holiday. Which means I can`t come here anymore, since I switch to another school next year.

This is great community, I wish I could still stay here. I`m lucky since I can still go to RTB forums, though I would rtaher stay at both...

Maybe I will be able to return someday. I probably won`t never see what you reply.

Thank you.

tl;dr: Due to technical problems I am forced to leave Blockland Forums, though I can still go to RTB Forums.

Suggestions & Requests / Idea to bring order back to Clan Discussion.

« on: February 19, 2009, 08:33:58 AM »

This idea came to my head earlier today.
Users could not create new topics in Clan Discussion until 6 months have been passed since their registeration. New users would learn during these 6 months how good/successfull/unflamed clans work and how they are being shown in the Clan Discussion.
This might sound rather unusual solution, but I think it could decrease the amount of fail clans.
Opinions and constructive criticism is welcome.

Drama / HeavenHunter

« on: January 10, 2009, 11:04:55 AM »

I think he made a new record in "Get Yourself A Drama Topic As Fast As Possible". He attempted to steal Azeraths Samaritan just by posting it himself, and then made a Baby Mod topic just lock it for "bad link" few minutes afterwards.

Few links:
Profile: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=13647 Age says he is 9.

Mapping Help / SpawnSphere messed up.

« on: December 22, 2008, 09:44:36 AM »

Well, I am creating a map called Snowfight-River and should be included in the Winter Pack. I got almost everything done now, but I found a major problem: Clicking doesnt respawn you on death. I think it is because I moved the SpawnSphere from original location (The map has been edited from The Slopes,I had to move SpawnSphere closer to the ground). I haven`t got this problem before, but I have heard it is somewhat usual. Anyone know how to fix this? Sorry Burger, this may delay the release of the Winter Pack D:

Mapping Help / Bedroom window texture

« on: October 13, 2008, 10:33:05 AM »

I am working on two interior maps right now,The Stage and Warehouse, and second one needs some window glass.
 Problem is, I can`t find window texture from Bedroom .zip file. Do you have any ideas what is it named and where is it located?

Suggestions & Requests / Tool suggestion: Namergun

« on: October 08, 2008, 11:32:31 AM »

Namergun:
A gun tool,that allows players to name bricks fast.

Code: [Select]

/namergun <name>
After typing that to chat with <name> replaced with name you want shot bricks to get, Namergun pops out like Duplicator. When it is used on brick, its name is changed to what player has set. I.E. a player types /namergun turret ,Namergun pops in. When player shoots the brick with it, brick is being named as "turret".

Code: [Select]

/namergun none
will set bricks` name to nothing. Only problem is, that someone might want a brick named "none".

Namergun would also Centerprint a message saying "Brick named <name>"

This would be extremely useful when making large event builds, and I am quite sure this can be done.

• Size of preview image
• File format (I think it is JPG,just want to make it sure)
• Anything other important?

Thank you.

Slates/Terrain Maps
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ ___
Slate Rocky 1.1

Description:
This is my first and my most popular map ported from V8. It has multiple changes to original, and it now uses different system for ground texture.Sky texture is also different (origin is unknown, I think it is from some of Ladios Slate edits).Ground texture also looks more brownish.

UPDATES:
1.1-Now V10 compatible.

Picture:


Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?wjz2qwmbzdj


Riverlands

Another port from V8.A simple terrain map, with minimum download time, light reflecting from water effect, and a lot of space for you to build in. This map is good for large RPgs needing lakes and rivers, as it allows building in most of the places.

Pictures:

Riverlands-Dark

Based on suggestion of Space Trooper.This map can load saves from normal Riverlands and vice versa,and also features a darker water texture for maximized realisticy.

Thanks to Vulture (ID:1740) for beta testing and pictures.

Death Pool

A much requested port from V8. If you want a challenge/arena DM with deadly water, this map is for you.To get underwater/to the bottom unharmed, use any vehicle (Myself I prefer Jeep) to drive on the bottom. Water does not harm vehicles.
Features:

• Millions of gallons of boiling hot/toxic water!
• Flat bottom, excellent for building on
• Very short download time
• Terrain repeats, wich allows almost unlimited buildability

Download:http://www.mediafire.com/?yj2ovabnwgm

Pictures: I will get you one or two later.

Interior Maps

The Stage(not released)

Description:
This is my first interior map. It has a stage which you can use to perform concerts, acts etc.It is in scale to your minifig, and includes drum set, box speakers and a microphone.
Stuff to fix/do:

• Major collision glitches-Pretty much fixed
• Unbuildablity in scaffolding-FIXED
• Preview image not showing FIXED
• Basic terrain for the map itself-DONE
• Better textures-This may take a while.

Pictures:


I will make drums and microphone more round,they are just place holders until I get more pressing problems out of the way.

Miscellaneous, uncategorized and possibly special maps

Description:
Originally designed for Winter Pack, which got discontinued later.

Mapping Help / Should we have a Starter Pack?

« on: July 30, 2008, 03:43:48 AM »

So,I thought that I could make a mapper`s starter pack,which contains textures,easy-to-edit maps(i.e Flatlands),basic interiors,skyboxes etc. ,but I just wonder do we need it?

I also need some stuff for it,so if can give something away (For example,a interior you made but aren`t gonna use it,or texture you want to share),post it here with link.
I will gather everything together(if it is needed) and later post it here.

NOTE:I would like to see picture of your giveaway(s).

I think this would help new mappers,since people could get quality textures etc.from this pack.
And,of course,you will get credit for giveaway(s).

Feel free to move to other section,just thought this is the right one.
