Off Topic / I'm 10 years old!

« on: December 12, 2017, 10:17:54 PM »

I remember first seeing screenshots of this game on Brickshelf and being annoyed they were even there among the albums of real Lego models.  I don't know why but one day I decided to give it a try and I think I've gotten the most bang for my buck out of any game I've ever bought.  $19.95 for a decade of playtime is pretty good.

As well as being my decade  anniversary on the forums I'm graduating from college with a degree in Computer Science and Computer Security.  I've also made the decision to apply for grad school for a masters in Comp Sci.  It's crazy to think that Blockland is the reason for me choosing to take the path in life that I have.

One person especially helped me gain an interest in programming and that was Mr.Wallet.  His classes that he would host on how to script sparked my interest and were the first things related to programming that I have ever done.  I don't think he's been active in a while but I really wanted to thank him.

So here's to the first 10 years and to another 10 to come.

Proletariat Patryk's Ski Slopes Freebuild [WIP]

I started working on a skislopes style build. So far I have a bit of a mountain going but would like to make it much bigger. If anyone wants to stop by and help with the mountain or maybe build some wintery style buildings come on by.

Suggestions & Requests / Farm Crop bricks

« on: March 20, 2015, 02:40:41 AM »

I've been working on a farming mod and I have most of the basics done right now. I would like to start using some bricks that are actual models of crops instead of just different height 2x2 bricks. I've been looking around but I can't seem to find any that have been released. If anyone is willing to help I would really appreciate it.

Modification Help / Deleting Brick

« on: March 17, 2015, 02:08:18 AM »

Code: [Select]

function fxDTSBrick::replaceBrick(%this, %newBrick)
{
%brickOffset = ((%newBrick.getDataBlock().brickSizeZ / 5) / 2) - ((%this.getDataBlock().brickSizeZ / 5) / 2);
%brickGroup = getBrickGroupFromObject(%this);

%posX = getWord(%this.position, 0);
%posY = getWord(%this.position, 1);
%posZ = getWord(%this.position, 2) + %brickOffset;

%this.delete();

%newBrick.setTransform(%posx SPC %posy SPC %posz);
%newBrick.plant();
%newBrick.setTrusted(1);
%brickGroup.add(%newBrick);
}
Everything works for this besides it appears that the new brick doesn't actually exist. I can't use a wrench on it or delete it or anything, but it shows up in my brick count. If I use killBrick instead of delete it works though. The only thing wrong with that is I don't want the sound and animation that comes with it.

Modification Help / Help with getDownBrick

« on: March 15, 2015, 09:49:29 PM »

Code: [Select]

package test
{
function fxDTSBrick::onRemove(%this)
{
if(%this.isPlanted())
{
%dbrick = %this.getDownBrick(0);
echo(%dbrick.getDataBlock());

}

parent::onRemove(%this);
}
};
When I use getDownBrick it returns null. If anyone can help me out with this more would be nice.

Modification Help / Logging time spent on server

« on: December 18, 2014, 05:02:46 PM »

I've started to work on an addon that would keep track of the amount of time a player has spent on your server. I was wondering what would be the best way of keeping track of this.

Would making a file for  each BL_ID that holds a total playtime, join time, and leave time then after a player leaves is finds the difference between the two times and then adds it to the total play time be the best way to do this?

I'm having trouble trying to phrase this question so I apologize in advance if it's not clear what I'm asking

Modification Help / Changing Slope of Terrain Bricks

« on: December 03, 2014, 08:12:01 PM »

I was wondering if it's possible to make a terrain brick that could change between two slopes, like going from a half slope to a full slope. I mad a model to better show what I'm talking about

Server Name : ProletariatPatryk's Ski Mountain / Christmas Freebuild

I'm starting to build a Ski Mountain/Resort and I plan on it being pretty much a Winter/Christmas freebuild. It's gonna be centered around a mountain with a few ski runs and have a town that players can build in. Right now anyone willing to help can join and help out in pretty much every way.

Off Topic / Assembly Programming!

« on: October 15, 2014, 10:50:49 PM »

I'm currently taking an assembler class in college and was just wondering if anyone has had the pleasure of doing assembler before.  This is my second time taking the class because i'm an idiot but the first time we did x86 NASM but now we're doing some convoluted bastard child of MASM.  I also just finished my program to find the floating point square root of a number that gets within 1.0E-12 of the actual number

It's around 140 lines, have fun!  I think just about every line is commented so you should be able to understand it if you know any programming

Off Topic / Local man on FBI top ten most wanted list

« on: September 18, 2014, 05:43:26 PM »

http://abcnews.go.com/US/suspected-cop-shooter-eric-frein-fbis-wanted-list/story?id=25594479

So this guy that lives like 20 minutes away from me camped outside a state police barracks and opened fire on some cops. He killed one and injured another one. Since it was the middle of the night and in the middle of the woods he managed to get away. There have been reported sightings of him but no real concrete stuff. It's been reported he talked aboutu wanting to kill a bunch of police and do some Flash Mob. He's currently on the FBI top ten most wanted now.

Off Topic / How is CIA/Islamic State allowed to have a twitter?

« on: August 09, 2014, 06:55:11 AM »

I'm not gonna link to it since there are some pretty obscene beheading and general pictures/videos of murder. But how are they allowed on twitter, I'm pretty sure they're breaking the ToS of twitter. Also they're a 100% bonafide terrorist organization. I guess intelligence services could be monitoring them since they love to let everyone know everything they do, but their twitter is still really forgeted up.

Modification Help / Code to load saves at different locations

« on: August 03, 2014, 03:46:26 AM »

Is there a way to save the bricks from a 16x16 baseplate and load them on multiple other 16x16 baseplates? Like save what the duplicator would select to copy and load that on to other 16x16 baseplates?

Modification Help / Chat Mod to limit talking through bricks

« on: July 09, 2014, 01:39:11 AM »

I started working on this a few months ago and gave it up, came back to it today and fixed it in about 5 minutes. I modified the chat function so that a player has to be a certain distance away and there can't be bricks between you. Now this is the basic of what I want.

I'm trying to figure a way out so that if say a player is standing against like a fence wall and can't see the person they can still hear them. I have no idea how to go about doing this though. Any help is greatly appreciated.
