General Discussion / Plane Building Contest (in reality I just want someone to work for me)

« on: February 23, 2014, 01:31:21 PM »

If you aren't interested, there is a reward. Check it out below.

For a server I'm working on, I need a military plane big enough to carry research equipment and multiple people. It doesn't have to be massive, but it does have to look like a military research plane.

I want it to look something like this:


I tried to build one, but I haven't done this before and they end up looking awful. I would want it kept mostly default, but you can use some common brickpacks too. BlackDragons stuff, Print plates, ect.

REWARD:
You can have any 2 of these games: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=251559.0
Check out the link, it contains some good stuff like Monaco and Dear Esther. If you have help, you can split it with your partner.
Alternatively, I will buy you any Steam game equal to or under 10$.

Off Topic / The Universe Death Clock - Probably the greatest Minecraft video ever

« on: February 19, 2014, 03:41:34 PM »

http://youtu.be/F1CddzgVW14

Most Minecraft videos are cringe-worthy music video parodies, but this is actually a really cool Vsauce-y science video. It's really neat and I thought I'd post it.

Gallery / 37 - PART 2 RELEASED [Machinima]

37

A man enters his subconscious.

PART 2: http://youtu.be/da8eiU7WpAc

There a LOT of hidden references in these videos. You should try to find them and post them below.
Any questions about it will be answered in part 3.

I'm not very good at editing so some sounds are oddly timed, but I think the actual video is very well filmed, we did have some technical difficulties towards the end though.

Off Topic / Obamaville Campaign Ad (old)

« on: February 10, 2014, 07:26:59 PM »

I know this is old, but I found it so hilariously stupid I wanted to share them with you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6CUSEPPKzU
It's 2 years in the future now... I'm not seeing the resemblance to my town. My favorite part is at 0:40 when it compares Obama to Ahmadinejad.

Other stupid Santorum ads:

Off Topic / Zealot's Game Giveaway - POETRY WEEK COMING TO AN END

« on: February 09, 2014, 06:33:38 PM »

READ BELOW BEFORE BEGGING

I'm not going to give it to the first person who says "DIBS" or anything like that. It's a writing competition-- not a begging competition.

Like my other giveaways, it's not random. I never liked the whole system of entering and hoping to get lucky and receiving something you don't actually want. To get one of these games, write something on the subject listed below. Basically just put more effort into it than "can i have civ 5 thanks"
It'll be like a mini-writing contest!

FINAL SUBJECT: WRITE AN EPIC
An epic is a long (but in this case it can be short) serious poem that tells about a heroic figure overcoming great odds. Write one about the game you want.

The more demanded and high quality games will be harder to get. If you ask for a less-demanded game, you are more likely to get it. These are ALL Steam games, excluding Cubicity.

I am willing to trade ANY game on this list. Talk to me in PMs.

WINNING POEMS:

My Haiku Entry For Papers, Please.

Up Another Man
My Red Stamp At The Ready
And Now Off He Goes

O^{nce upon a yonder,
My steam library made me wonder.
"What games do I require?
What games do I desire?"
In my brain, it had clicked.
But my wallet! It had been nicked!
I do so desire a strategy,
Not owning it would be a tragedy.
So I make my humble request,
If you deliver it, you would be the best,
The game I crave for,
Is Civilization 4.}

If new games have been added since you last won, you may enter a second time.
If your game is given away to someone else, you may enter a second time.

Off Topic / Hey Greek2Me, remember how I said we should make you a card?

« on: February 05, 2014, 03:41:38 PM »

I wasn't joking.



Thank you for helping the community so much with your support Greek2Me, everyone here appreciates it!

--- OLD TOPIC ---

Let's make a Thank-You card for the user Greek2Me (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=22331;sa=statPanel), for all the help and assistance they have provided to the community. He does more support than the developers.

Do it in the style of the "Put your avatar on the wagon" topics. Take the above users image, open it in an editor, write your name, (you can leave a message if you want, make it small.), and repost it.

Don't decrease the quality of the image, and don't make your name too big.

IF YOU CAN'T/DON'T WANT TO EDIT THE IMAGE:
Just post saying to add your name, and someone later on will include it for you.

I can't see my avatar anymore. Can any of you see it?

I haven't changed my avatar recently. Could this be related to the DDOS attacks or is my computer just being weird.

General Discussion / The Hunger Games - Hosting issues, Page 5.

A Slave Co. Project

Joining

Go to https://blockland.us/detail.php?ip=24.23.200.75&port=28000&blid=46029 to see the status of the server, the preview image, or to join!

Cornucopia

You and 23 other brave contestants shall be placed on pedestals  in a circle, surrounding a pile of items, weapons, or clothing. After 30 seconds, you will be released. This gives you time to decide who is friend or foe. The supplies in the center is very valuable to you, at at such an early stage in the event it's value is even higher. You could try getting as much of it as you can, or sprinting for the hills. Whatever you decide, many other contestants are thinking the same thing. Be careful.

Hunger

As the games take place over a course of multiple days, or even weeks, and involve lots of strenuous activity, you will no doubt become hungry. Unless you want to starve and be forgotten as just another tribute, you need to eat. You will find food all over the island, bread, fruit, or berries. Some food is poisonous though. Let's talk about that.

Poison

Not everything you eat is safe. None of the poison is enough to kill you completely, (That wouldn't be a very interesting game for the citizens.) you will have an opportunity to test each wild fruit or vegetable you find. You could even trick the other contestants into eating the poisonous food, weakening or killing them without even moving.

Alliances

Team up! Work together! Make a good show. You are in these games to survive, and it is your civic duty to the capitol to do so. Talk to a friend and convince them to work with you, then kill the other contestants who are alone. The options are endless. Although, only one person can prevail. Each of your teammates will have to go at some point if you plan on surviving this. Backstab them. Kill them when they least expect it. Make a good show for the citizens. It was them or you.

Victor

Once every other tribute has fallen, by your hand or not, you are the victor. You will be bathed in riches and adored by the citizens. You will also even get the opportunity to wait out the next Hunger Games in the VIP Capital Hovercraft.

Arena

The Arena that the 43rd Annual Hunger Games will take place in is an abandoned African Archipelago. There are still structures on the island from the natives, but the Gamemakers will add in methods of transportation among the island and add food and weapons alongside the native buildings. Since the games are growing closer, these are some images of the incomplete Arena in order to give you a good idea of what you will be facing. Please keep in mind, the entire arena is a work in progress.

An overview of the Arena:


The Cornucupia, where the games begin.


Of course, a Gamemaker's Quarters will have to be constructed on the Island.


The inside will be filled with controls, to make sure the games are entertaining for the citizens.


One of the native villages, prepared for the Games.


Unfortunately, not all buildings are in their prime condition. Be careful.

THE GAMES HAVE BEGUN!

Drama / Permafrost - Fakes porting maps into V21, spams, claims his account was hijacked

« on: February 01, 2014, 09:06:14 PM »

Permafrost

On New Years Eve, the user "Permafrost" (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=132981) posted a topic saying that he was attempting to import interiors and terrains into V21, to prove they world work with shaders.

He posted the default bedroom preview, then posted pictures of the V21 bedroom to further his "proof".

Let's just see what he has to say.

I recently send badspot a message, although he wont read it probobly, I am trying to make a prototype to show blockland can run maps AND shaders, any good programs know?

PS: I will submit it too him and hopefully we can have maps and shaders.

I'm really not sure, I know I will need good programs, I will make a video link on the forums of it.
I am researching for good programs and softwares to make it compatible

One more thing, I've taken a few tech classes and computer science so I have somewhat of an idea for what I'm gonna do.

I've already started, Torque 3D works great and I got the first line done because of easy access in Toque, It's not 100% finished, more like 3% done. But great progress I will try and post a link to the uploaded screenshots.

So he is 3% done, but an hour later he is posting images of "full integrated shaders"? Right.

I'm having trouble uploading the pictures

... he has the coding knowledge to transfer the bedroom into V21, but not to post an image on the forums.

Low quality shaders in progress

I uploaded the images for him.

I messed around with torque and the blockland files but the shaders kinda failed at first I fixed it though.

The vehicle wheels and the one of the colors messed up, but shaders are going good, the maps make it's kinda laggy kinda laggy though it is still playable

I have a problem, the game keeps crashing and I can't load good quality shaders without the game black screening me, if I can't fix this the project is no more, here is my progress

Wait a minute!

That last picture is from Garry's Mod, what the heck?

It turns out he faked the entire thing. How unsurprising.

I tried I truly did, I couldn't get it to work.

Somehow I doubt it. Especially because terrain/interiors were not removed so shaders would work, they were removed because they were a problem and were slowing game development.

He then decides to post the thought provoking topic, PLAYTIME IS OGRE:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=248802.msg7173614#msg7173614

The next day, angry at the community, he posts the meaningful topic, snake:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=248868.msg7175435#msg7175435

When asked how old he is, he replies: OLD ENOUGH TO F UR MOMMY:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=248868.msg7175456#msg7175456

Needless to say, he was banned. Good riddance.

... and then he came back.

You all may know me as PermaFrost.

To the point someone hijacked my account. You may have seen spam post.

Shaders and maps thing was where the hijack started and I couldn't log in to do my progress and someone under the impression of me posted Gmod pictures as "proof", used the bedroom morning map and continued to spam other topics.

I want to let you know I was hijacked and have been continuing my Shaders and Maps project.

First of all, why is he Permafrost11? Did he make 10 more accounts he never told us about?

I understand many people will not believe this and I am okay with that.

But I find it rude.

Yes, it's very rude of us to find it suspicious that a known idiot would lie about something dumb he did.

Hackers are always stealing unused forum accounts, then posting topics explaining that they are trying to make shaders work. His claim makes complete sense.

Even rlcbm knew he was lying. He's like a whole new level of stupid. Just making this drama gave me a migraine.

Off Topic / Streaming Super Amazing Wagon Adventure ~ DOWN

« on: January 19, 2014, 08:19:26 PM »

http://www.livestream.com/zealotstream

Hey kids! I'm gonna be livestreaming the game Super Amazing Wagon Adventure, which is a really fun Oregon Trail parody. You customize your party, and set off towards Oregon. It's completely randomized, and can be finished in less than 10 minutes, but is very hard. It's a shooter that contains everything from rocket launchers, to trained killer falcons. You unlock new wagons as you play, and you can do all sorts of weird things. You can teleport into modern times, get attacked by dinosaurs, or even go into space.

I will be designing my party each game after random forum members, so if you want to be turned into a character, just post below!
Let's go!


-OCULUS STREAM, NOT DOING THIS NOW-

I'm gonna be livestreaming myself playing games with the Oculus Rift, (no webcam, sorry), and it should be fun.
The games I'll stream are listed below.

I have the Oculus Rift Development and Razer Hydra, so if any of you guys see a game you want me to stream, post it below.

Oculus Stuff:
Windlands - Ninja grapple rope parkour game, a lot of fun.
Crashlands - Alien bug shooter, used with Razer Hydra for full body movement detection, really cool.
Minecraft - With the MinecRift mod it worlds very well, probably the best "real" game for the Oculus Rift.
Surgeon Simulator 2013 - Yeah we're definitely doing this.

General Discussion / Exploration RPG ~ DUNGEONS ARE NOW RELEASED

« on: January 19, 2014, 06:09:50 PM »

A Slave Co. Project

Overview

For a quick video summary of what a successful run is like, watch the trailer: http://youtu.be/IKPwREn1MM4

Exploration RPG (or Vvanrim) is an RPG/DM based around traveling in-between a huge amount of islands. It is very PVP based, almost like DayZ, and can be a struggle to survive. You gain 10 points for each person you kill, which you can spend to upgrade your health up to 250. You start with nothing but a health potion, but you can scavenge throughout the islands for better equipment, armor, and weapons. There are keys hidden throughout the islands, which open up secret compartments and buildings all over the map. You'll keep returning to places you've been and often find a whole new place to explore. Be careful though, other players are always a threat, and you might want to form a group of 2 or 3 trusted players to keep safe.

Of course, you can't be swimming in between all the islands, so there are vehicles. A lot of vehicles. You can get things ranging from rowboats to jetskiis to planes to blimps. There's many different vehicles fit for different situations and different amounts of people, and they will make sure it's fun to travel the entire way through. You'll probably start with a rowboat or raft, but by the end of the game you could have a blimp or a jetpack!


Joining

It's pretty easy to get started, but it's a whole lot more fun with a group. Try asking a friend or two to be in a group with you, it'll be much less likely for a group to be attacked.

You can join here: http://www.blockland.us/detail.php?ip=192.241.71.218&port=32400&blid=46029
