Modification Help / Return to Blockland v3

« on: November 09, 2008, 08:11:31 AM »

Feature List

MOD Manager - The MOD Manager has been entirely re-coded to improve performance and usability.
GUI Downloading - Basic GUI can now be temporary downloaded to the client from the server.
Downloads System - An entirely re-coded online downloads system which also improves performance and allows us to do some really cool stuff.

RTB3 is essentially a re-code of the general RTB framework to make it more extensible in the future. The MOD Manager is such a hugely used tool (over 5,000,000 requests made to it since a few months ago) that it makes sense that this is a really stable and easy-to-use feature. I think all of the beta testers for RTB3 will agree that it absolutely improves your in-game downloading experience. Despite there not actually being any new "features" (minus the gui downloading), all this work makes it easier for new features to be added in the future without having to make huge changes. Anyway, here are the details:

MOD Manager

New style/theme
Paginated section views
Quick links to report/download add-ons
Faster loading times for pages
Bugs can be reported directly to add-on makers from in-game
Add-ons can now be deleted

Obviously there are so many things that I haven't mentioned that just makes this great. You'll have to wait and see!

GUI Downloading

Very basic GUI can be downloaded to clients. This includes bitmaps/buttons/swatches/text entry boxes. Documentation will be written up on this at a later date for modders.

Are you sure thats your IP? Usually 0.1 is used by the router itself.

The port configuration looks fine so that narrows it down to either you having some firewall interfering, or you setting your LAN IP incorrectly.

Oh yeah, you're right

Code: [Select]

// Explosion
////////////
datablock ExplosionData(jeepExplosion : vehicleExplosion)
{
   debris = jeepTireDebris;
   debrisNum = 4;
   debrisNumVariance = 0;
   debrisPhiMin = 0;
   debrisPhiMax = 360;
   debrisThetaMin = 40;
   debrisThetaMax = 85;
   debrisVelocity = 14;
   debrisVelocityVariance = 3;
};

Ok, well the Tank is the first one to utilize debris in a projectile-made explosion :P

Edit: Also Gravity Rocket doesn't appear to use any debris

I made the tank shell explosion, the debris was just a method for me to get the random strings of fire coming out of the main explosion.
