General Discussion / Re: Dedicated BL eating resources?

A.  This should be in help.

B.  I've never seen memory usage go that high.  I don't think I've ever seen it go above 200,000MB (running the full game, not just dedicated).

C.  Try changing maps (even to the same map).  This is a way of refreshing the server.

Yeah, you can call your router manufacturer for help with that, or search their website.

You are a loving idiot.  Any meat sack with opposable thumbs can use Wikipedia.

A DNS IP address is assigned to your internet connection so that your computer knows how to translate www.google.com into 216.239.51.104.

You can find your DNS server on Windows by pressing WinKey + R, typing "command" (without quotes) and clicking "OK".  When the command prompt appears, type 'ipconfig /all" (without quotes) and press enter.  Then look through the list of information for a property entitled "DNS Server".

In the future, please refrain from being an idiot.

Yeah, you should be able to orient a static shape on a non-moving surface just fine.

Modification Help / Re: Making an object have no source object or client?

If you're setting a valid client, you might as well set a valid source object.  Creating false items is not efficient.

It's not just you; everyone does this.  Why make "loops" that don't loop.  Blockland automatically repeats the song.  Only call it a loop if it repeats without hiccup.

I've always been partial to the Zelda "walk up to a chest and open it" mentality.

Lol, even in his own signature, he can't get it right.

if(%obj.getState() !$= Dead)
   {
     %obj.kill("Gave up life");
   }

You're doing a string comparison on something that isn't a string.

I'm pretty sure you'd want to modify the spring settings (WheeledVehicle / FlyingWheeledVehicle) for the vehicle.

Spring settings to look for:

force
damping
antiSwayForce

Modification Help / Re: While loops

« on: November 30, 2007, 12:09:43 PM »

Yeah, while() loops must be used very carefully.  They're really only useful when you absolutely know that your while will terminate soon after the call.

It's better to use a for() loop.  Here's an example of a for() loop used in place of a while() loop:

Code: [Select]

%client.hasThisProperty = 1;

while(%client.hasThisProperty)
{
     //do stuff here
}

Code: [Select]

%client.hasThisProperty = 1;

for(%i = %client.hasThisProperty;%i >= 1;%i = %client.hasThisProperty)
{
     //do stuff here
}
