Suggestions & Requests / Spotlights
« on: March 07, 2007, 07:29:51 PM »
Is it possible to create a light source, calculate a vector, and then place a light effect at the end of it, while leaving the particle at the origin? Would it be possible to light the area between the light and the origin? Is it possible to create a cone using the radius of the light so that the area between the source and light are realistically lit, or emulate the effect by creating more light sources between the source and the endpoint using decreasing radii?
If its possible, does anyone feel like doing it?

Help / A quick question about bricks.
« on: March 07, 2007, 02:55:38 PM »
I know that transparent blocks are destroyed a lot easier then normal blocks. How are transparency and color related though? Will a 90% transparent block be destroyed faster then a 10% transparent? Also, are certain colors stronger then others?

Music / Sonar and Alarm Sounds
« on: March 02, 2007, 10:05:54 PM »
Here are two sounds, one is a sonar ping from a submarine (works well with the radar decal) and an beeping alarm sound. Both are annoying if you listen to them loop a lot, but they can add a good background sound to a submarine or spaceship.

Modification Help / What do all these variables do?
« on: February 25, 2007, 07:47:19 AM »
So I'm trying to make custom light effects. Simple lights are easy enough. But animated lights have some weird things, and I've got no clue what they do.
SingleColorKeys = true;
RedKeys = "AAAAAAA";
GreenKeys = "DHSFJYJ";
BlueKeys = "ZZZZZZZ";
BrightnessKeys = "AZQZFZA";
RadiusKeys = "AZAAAAA";
OffsetKeys = "AZAAAAA";
RotationKeys = "AZAAAAA";
What does all this mean?
Also, something called rotation appears. What is this rotation of? The light? The particle?
Finally, all time is measured in seconds, correct? So 0.50 is half a second?

AoT General / [Discuss] Austria Formally Declares War on Servia!
« on: December 10, 2006, 12:20:08 PM »
From the New York Times Corespondent in Vienna, Austria:
Quote
VIENNA, July 28- Upon the issue of the formal declaration of war against Servia today Emperor Franz Josef gave orders for the removal of the Summer Court from Ischl to the capital. His entourage tried to persuade him that Vienna air would not suit him, but the aged Emperor replied:
"I do not want the air of Vienna. I want the atmosphere of headquarters." The opening of the war has caused the imposition of all kinds of restrictions upon public business. All the railways, of course, are under military control, and the telegraphs are being reserved entirely for the service of the State. The hope is still entertained here that the war will be confined to Austria-Hungary and Servia. The report that Russia and France have intervened in Vienna is incorrect. In official circles here it is maintained that any action by those powers must be supported by the third party to the Triple Entente, namely, Great Britain. It is known that Great Britain and France do not want a European war. Peace among the great powers or war among the great powers must depend on the action of St. Petersburg.
At the Foreign Office here it is freely stated that now that war has begun Austria-Hungary will be bound to no more conditions such as she propounded prior to the outbreak of hostilities.

Enjoy the thrill of haggling in our bazzar!
Send personal messages to other members using a private user interface!
Develop your own game modes and mods!
We are continually adding new services to our ever-expanding list!

EDIT: More bad news, I think all the old forum topics reached the date google drops them out of the cache or something, I can't find them anymore using http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:www.blockland.us+phpbb&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&filter=0
So I guess I'll be stuck with archive.org, which has even less of the forum saved on it then google did.

Clan Discussion / PTKFGS: New Clan (Anti-Wealth of Nations Committee)
« on: August 26, 2006, 09:42:12 PM »
I am making a clan called the Anti-Wealth of Nations Committee. Its purpose is to mock, ridicule, and spread anti-capitalist propoganda, as well as talk about well written economic literature, mainly the works of Marx, Engles, Gorky, Lenin, and our fearless leader, Stalin. Our server (titled [USSR]Primary) is mostly used for building. We have a website at www.loelarcade.smfserver.com. For more information, check there.

Clan Discussion / OMG Ex-USSR Member Reveals All
« on: June 30, 2006, 10:37:47 PM »
All the lies in the USSR clan finally caught up with me, and I can't stand being in the clan any longer.
Our servers were hoaxes. Arcturis ran number stations off of his computer (boradcasting to Cuba). Facechild keeps people chained in his basement, and after torturing them, feeds them to a giant metal Stalin head. entrepreneur in's father smuggled papers for the KGB. Diggy is ex-KGB agent Ivan Molotov. His code name durring his service was Diggy. FlyGuy was a USSR biological experiment... Gone horribly wrong. (<3) Bones got his name from the fact that he is a re-animated zombie constructed from the remains of dead socialist historical figureheads. TheGeek was originally expelled from the clan after his construction of LincolnBotTM, but was allowed to return after "significant reperations". Mocheeze and Ephialtes joined after being forced to watch Soviet propaganda movies for 4 weeks. Thurstan discovered the element Sovietum, and after the element name was refused, he joined the clan.
USSR is a bunch of people who secretly forward US documents to ex-KGB officials, and sell them on the black market to the highest bidder. They are also in possession of a small nuclear arsenal (which Facechild also keeps in his basement).
If you want the admin password to the server, it is StalinIsLeader.

Some Lego products, including the popular Lego Technic and Bionicle, will still be made at Lego’s headquarters in Billund, 160 miles west of Copenhagen, which presently has a staff of 3,000 employees.
The production of the basic Lego bricks will be handled by Flextronics, a Singapore-based electronics manufacturer, which operates factories in Mexico and in eastern Europe. Flextronics also is taking over Lego’s factory in Kladno, in the Czech Republic, beginning Aug. 1.

Byrne also said that Lego had suffered as it started to offer too many types of products, like radio-controlled toys, chasing the latest fads. Under Knudstorp, who took the reins in late 2004, Lego has refocused on compelling construction toys and pared down operations.
