General Discussion / Re: is it time to stop

« on: October 08, 2017, 01:05:07 PM »

Considering all the time I played before Steam,  It would probably be something more like 7,000 or 10,000 hours.

This game is cursed.

General Discussion / Despair Fever Map Production

« on: October 08, 2017, 12:59:50 PM »

Greetings.

I'm making this post on behalf of my friend Odditer, who has accepted the offer to create a new map for Despair Fever, a game mode identical to Murder Mystery.  However, he doesn't think he can do it alone so he asked me for help.

I'm already busy making about 3-4 other maps, so I can't give him consistent, regular support.

There is no time-limit as to when it needs to be finished, but according to what I've been told, Jack Noir implied that the sooner they get a new map, the better.

If anyone here is a good builder, or is willing to serve as an extra pair of hands or just general support, please message Odditer through these means:

Discord:  Odditer#8470
Steam:  https://steamcommunity.com/id/theartisticfellow/
He has Blockland Glass too, so you can message him on there if you have the add-on installed.

Thank you for your time.

Update:  The issue has been solved!  The Glass preferences were resetting the server, as Conan suggested.  Thank you for your help.

The thread will now be locked.

Update:

The ban list hasn't reverted so far, I think this is the 3rd or 4th day now.  It would have reset by now, so I think the issue has been solved.

I've yet to speak to Deceased about it though, so I'll let you all know how that goes.

as ive mentioned in pm, seems like problem is related to resetting preferences via blockland glass, which expects you to close your servers properly (eg: quit();) and not by killing the BL process (eg, hitting x on the console window)

Hopefully I'll try to confirm this, as well as the read-only possibility, tomorrow evening.  Deceased hinted that he would investigate it but I don't know what the progress is as of now.  I'll know it's been fixed if the server changes is the same as it was two days ago.

I'll get back to this thread ASAP.

Is this drama, stuff posting, or need actual help?
Check if you have an add-on causing this, or if your settings are set to read-only

Read-only settings?  I'll pass that on and see if it's the case.  Thank you.

P.S.  I forgot to mention that the environment settings revert as well.

Help / Deceased Box's Server is Travelling Through a Mobius Strip

This is basically what's happening:

http://the-wanderling.com/mobius.html

I am absolutely at my wits end.  I've lost my marbles.  The tea has been spilt.  The milk has been knocked over.  The toast has been burned.  The sugar is on the floor, and it turned sticky.
This happens   o v e r   a n d   o v e r   a n d   o v e r   i n f i n i t e l y   w i t h   n o   e n d   i n   s i g h t
Our server keeps resetting to a certain point in time.  This wouldn't be a problem if

https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=305781.0

THIS LITTLE stuff wasn't being made SAdmin again every single day.  He comes and wreaks havoc to anything that the other SAdmins create - he has the audacity to delete my precious Barad Dur, MY 10752^x2 FORTRESS.
  "Wha? What's happening?  Is that Fastlane down there?  No!  Sto-"
He destroys my fellow SAdmin []Lucario[]'s beach house, he griefs community buildings, he abuses the Monk Server Pack commands, he screws around with the environment settings, he bans random people, he deliberately crashes the server, this is full-spectrum-warfare.  The gloves are off.  Let's get this sorted.

Nobody destroys my precious and gets away with it.  P.S.  The reason why I didn't post this in the Drama section was because degenerates lurk there and will spark something offtopic instead of actually helping me.  This bit is just to convey how serious the matter is.
Everything resets.  Everything.  Any announcements and news that I create to inform people of changes? Poof.  Any changes I make to what Admins and SAdmins can and can't do?  Poof.  I make the settings so that only the Host can access them?  Poof.  Unsavory people on the ban list?  Abra Cadabra: Bano no existo.  I make someone auto-admin that is actually worthy to be an admin?  Oh look, not admin anymore.  Events and add-ons that have been enabled or disabled by the Host?  Reverted.

Something must have happened on the day that Possessed Cookie (Fastlane) was made SAdmin to make the server preferences to reset to that exact time, because we didn't have this problem before then. but I don't know what that could be.  No one does.

If anyone has any idea what could be causing this, please help.  If you need more information, I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

« on: September 03, 2017, 10:43:17 AM »

I remember this one Freebuild RP about 3 years ago where everyone just spammed 1x1s and had a pokemon orgy in the chat.  It was only up once, never to be seen ever again.  I didn't recognise any of the names in there.

That was weird.

« on: August 31, 2017, 02:43:06 PM »

I believe a person named JizzCake (BL_ID 37674) is responsible.  He crashed Crown's server and, shortly after, joined Pecon's server and crashed that as well.

By the way, if anyone has any really old caches lying around from around about the time I joined, if you could copy and paste it somewhere and share the link then that would be superb.  There are a lot of old addons I'm looking for that are probably locked up in someones old cache somewhere sad, lonely, damp, and unloved.  ;-(

hey whats up

Hey log, long live Qi.


Right then, not sure where I should begin.  There's just so many memories.

My BL_ID is 21725, I bought my key around about the 3rd of May 2010, version 14.

I remember a lot of the old users mentioned here and more.  I remember the Fortwars in Half Life styled maps, I remember Hectic & Gentoo's mini empires,  I remember when Ladezkik was doing megabuilds, I remember the dogfights, I remember the cringy freebuilds and the good freebuilds,  I remember when Boss Battles first appeared, I remember when the console in the second window had a seizure every time there was an error, all of it.

Life has moved on very sweetly I have to say.  I have my own company dealing in high-quality dog food crafted from the research of a few laboratories I've taken possession of, which partly funds my crafting interests, such as environmentally friendly ways to make structures, tools and generally useful things from what you find in nature etc.  I'm accelerating very quickly on many different fronts.  Soon I'll have created my own workshop where I'll get into more serious machinery, and teach others how to do the same.

You'll find me around on blockland now and again, fiddling and diddling around.  I stalk the forums too, but not regularly.  I really am looking forward to GSF Ghost's remake of Blockland and seeing what direction it takes.

P.S.  I remember when people would randomly make you Super Admin for strange reasons.  I've become SA so many times for doing the most counter-intuitive things.

Why not just have the perfectly sensible Blockland avatar editor but with more parts to choose from and the ability to change the way those parts look, but only up to a certain point? Think a blocky version of the Dark Souls avatar editor.
You could set limits to how many vertices you can have on each part and how many parts a player can actually upload to the server (to reduce server-side memory usage and latency)

I suppose the editor would look like a watered-down Blender.  Massive customization without the threat of abuse.  Everyone's happy.
