Modification Help / Re: Return to Blockland v3

Very cool!,

I seem to recall somewhere that you might eventually add a good rigid minigame system that hooks in with events well.  Is this still in the plans?

Good stuff.. :)

It is some way down the line and may be released as a separate add-on since it doesn't really fit in with the theme of rtb.

So by "more realistic gravity" you mean lower jumpforce and increase impact damage sensitivity?

The hands would be terrible, you'd have to do some glitchy constant loop to have the hands pull the player onto the ledge they jump onto or something then work in some way for that to involve skill.

This sounds absurd and your plans for using vehicles to do flips are even more insane. I think people who actually like Parkour would benefit more from spending their time practising in real life.

I like to pretend to have some morales, thank you very much.

Oh, and fixed avatar...

Its not a question of morality, its just the government trying to appease household wives who want to protect the innocence of their children by not exposing them to enjoyable things like love. If it was an 18 year old having love with a 13 year old that'd be weird, but two 16 year olds is fine.

Just a little update on progress here, also RTB 2.1 is now known as RTB 3 so i'll change the topic title in a bit.

Currently we're moving all our stuff to a new host (on a private server so we get very good performance) and i'm re-building our downloads system and general forum mods onto the phpbb3 forum software (since we were on v2 before which had some security issues and overall badness). We're also moving our homepage onto wordpress.

The new downloads system features a bunch of new stuff including new styling and a great lovey ajax and flash based file upload form instead of the old crap you guys are still using. Here are some screenshots of the uploading:

This is the first page where you select the section to submit to (hopefully people wont manage to screw this up)


This is the information page where you enter a title (with various ajax validation things). Note the 5 author fields where you can enter a BL ID and it will try to find the Blockland User with that ID for you, or you can just enter their username.


This is the file upload page, the file upload bit is still a bit primitive but there is a new required files section where you can pick up to 3 files that are required. These fields support searching too so you can enter the first few letters of an add-on to find the one you're looking for (excuse the weird alma fannin test data)


This is the screenshots upload page which uses a flash-based application I developed for RTB and makes the screenshot editing process a whole load easier.


There is no deadline set for this work, so just be patient and enjoy the current system despite its many flaws and bugs. I'll have more information soonish.

On the bright side...

You can lose your virginity! :D

With the macro saver it should be in config/client/macros or something.

It should be .isGod to fit in with isAdmin and isSuperAdmin.

And I don't think empty has any special nodes, but everything happens at the origin of the object if there's no special node for it.

Can't people just assume every problem is caused by an add-on? Most features of the game work flawlessly when you don't have add-ons, but they break when you do. For me that just makes me assume its an add-on problem.

« on: January 04, 2009, 11:21:26 AM »

People seem to be very worked up over what section things belong in - I'd just like to point out that there are moderators/admin whose job it is to decide this and they are able to without 20 people sending topic reports for "wrong section".

And i always thought it was more like silly string too..

However, in order to not recieve an error message* when sending a trust invite to the fake client, you'd need to make some kind of brick group, wouldn't you?

*"Trust Invite Error: Target brick group does not exist."

We're talking about faking a user being on the players list for a picture - you can't invite a user in a picture to have trust with you.

AIConnection probably inherits from GameConnection where the name member variable is protected from script editing.

If they really did it right, it'd show the trust level on the NPL list.

Making the - appear is just a MsgClientTrust call which doesn't even require a brickgroup.

Don't worry, you can buy the Official Apple® iPod© "H2O Audio Surge Waterproof Amphibx Armband^TM" to stop it from using a feature they've built in. (Only $129.95)

Looks awesome for swimming though...
