Help / "couldn't write to cache database"

« on: October 18, 2014, 12:38:42 PM »

so I just started up blockland right now and joined Furdle's GTA
suddenly after it loaded up it shot an error at me
"SQLite Error"
and then it said it couldn't write to cache databse or cache.DB if I'm correct
so
this is basically terminating any possible connection to servers
and that's boring
halp

Off Topic / so there's this really weird berry we found (HOLY CRAP IT'S NOT POISONOUS)

« on: September 30, 2014, 05:28:50 PM »

Today at school, me and my friend Brodie found some weird berries that have similarities to other fruits.
Let me describe. (no i don't bring a freaking camera to school)

• Red outer layer
• Crack it open, and it has a weird orange core and a tiny seed
• Has that weird ruffle that you see around tomatoes' and blueberries' stem
• Mush it with a stick or something and you'll get greenish-brownish goop
• Grows on trees, comes in bunches.

Right now, we nickname them, "Boom-Berries".

Me and my friends enforce anyone from potentially eating any and harming themselves, and any possible theft of the berries.
These are like a drug, and very well could be.

Does anyone have any idea what these are?

We got good news! The berries are called "Mountain Ash", and are not poisonous. Yay! We will continue to enforce the berries though, they don't seem common.

Gallery / so uh i made some stuff - now with pictures of the stuff

« on: September 08, 2014, 01:45:38 PM »

See a video of them here - (video not uploaded yet)

Stuff - (mostly bombs)
-Leaking Barrel that leaks acid when you shoot it and kills you if you touch it
-Small Boiler that spills tons of boiling water that does nothing right now
-Exploding Barrel that explode (wow what a surprise i didn't expect that either)
-Small Pixel Bomb that explodes like Bomb Pixel. Small. Gives off a shockwave when hit and detonated.

Stuff that's planned or is being worked on -
-Larger Pixel Bomb
-Anti-Climactic Bomb
-Charging Bomb/Plasma Bomb

Server down. Just wait for the video to upload which will happen tomorrow today.
that'll let you see the bombs.
okay now suggest bombs and I might plan or make them

Pictures of Stuff

Small Boiler

(sorry, none of these pictures are of them exploding, i couldn't get them
also no, block cam doesn't save pictures taken without the block cam interface)

Leaking/Acid Barrel

If you're wondering, that stick isn't a separate bomb. It holds the crowbar, what I use to set these off.

Exploding Barrel

That thingie at the top you can barely see because it looks like a cloud is a red alarm light. Right before the barrel explodes, the light goes off.
sorry it's blurry i forgot to turn off DOF

Small Pixel Bomb

I just got the picture of it charging up before the release and explosion.
Also, if you thought the Exploding Barrel's blur was bad, take a look at this.

Off Topic / Betelguese got a new key? Seriously?

« on: September 02, 2014, 11:15:37 PM »

I was playing around on Blockland, checking the servers, and found out Panquake's Throwmod was back up.
I joined and we had fun.

Shortly after, Betelguese joined.
I quickly checked his ID, and it was pretty high.

I said, "hey look, it's betel"
He says that someone gave him a free key.
His IGN avatar looked spot on, but that doesn't mean I believe him. Do you?

yes, I know I have no proof, next time I see him on I will screencap it
don't reply about proofless information or "pics or it didn't happen" yet
because IT'S COMING

Clan Discussion / THE NURBRICKRING RACING AND BUILDING TEAM/BLOCKLAND RACING NETWORK (UPDATE WOW)

« on: August 27, 2014, 01:12:40 PM »

For a while now me and Newspeed12 have been secretly-ish working on a racetrack called NurBrickRing.

Named after Nurburgring, NurBrickRing aims to be the hardest track ever created in Blockland.

Banner by Champion.

Pictures:
(not enough progress for pictures, check back later)

The Team:

Code - (name) = builder, (name) = racer, and (name) = both at the same time/contributor.

Sideswipe - Current Host (might become dedicated, idk)
Newspeed12 - Admin
danisaac
Duhman
Champion - Admin
AutoBahn
Skateaton
Sonokido - Admin
Space1255
SQUARED
To Apply:

Applying is simple - just list IGN, BL_ID, and what you wanna be.
The list of players in "The Team", however, go by their forum name so you can recognize players who use a different IGN than their forum name.

Admin applications make you contributer, so you can't just stand there and do nothing. This is the first time me and Newspeed have ever done a super-large-scale-racing-team-sponsored track, so we need all the help we can get. (yes we made some other tracks too)

To apply for admin, do the same as before but add in any past experiences with administrator privileges. If you have been drama'd for being a bad host or admin recently, you will be rejected.
If the drama of you is old, you have a chance of getting in.
We expect you've learnt your lesson since then.

Ideas for the Future:

We got some ideas of features this track will have.

Impact Damage System:

If you hit stuff too many times, fail a chicane (as in crash into it), or get stuck in something, the trackref will either tell you to go to pit, disqualify you, or the event system will take health from your vehicle.

Smart Startline:

Simply put, this makes it so it is impossible to get past the starting line when the lights are red.
Uses an invisible wall.

(Smart Startline hasn't been implemented into the track yet)


Rules/What Cheating Is

Do not drive off the track and use as shortcut.
Using shortcuts in some tracks are okay, but going off the track and cutting corners is out of the question.

Do not respawn vehicles.
If you explode, you're out of the race. Period.
You can however respawn your vehicle and get back in the next race.

Do not spam buttons.
If you were given privileges for admin, you are allowed to work the lights and DQ caller.
Do not spam or misuse these buttons, it is annoying, confusing, and will get your admin taken away.

(end)

In the pit section, there will be a Pipe Wrench. Use it to repair your car or just wait in pit and play around with it.
Have fun racing when this is done!
Also, yes, you can make racing teams, just like in BLWC where you could make soccer teams.
i hope we can do this before school starts for all of us officially
also that update?

HEY GUESS WHAT WE'RE DOWN RIGHT NOW COME AND PLAAAEEYY NEXT TIME

Off Topic / evil games

« on: August 26, 2014, 12:27:03 PM »

Mobile gaming has been a thing for a reeeaaallly long time, and since then they tend to get better.
Most mobile game companies rely on quality to make their game the best out there, but some do other things.

Games like Candy Crush, Bejeweled, and other tile matching/addicting games are deliberately made so you play and pay.

They are programmed to activate genes and sensors to make you want more and more, making you pay more to play more. Candy Crush is a great example of this.

I'm not blaming Candy Crush for this though, because many other boring tile matching games exist,
but it's evil, if you think about it.

It's almost like "hacking" into your genetic code and making you pay money to the developers.

Games / RIGS OF RODS

« on: August 21, 2014, 07:21:36 PM »

THE UNOFFICIAL THREAD OF


What the hell is Rigs of Rods?
Rigs of Rods is a driving simulation game featuring Soft Body Physics. It's very old, but it delivers.
Tons of vehicles, incredible damage, nice models, eych dee arr (HDR), and dee oh eff (Depth of Field) make this game pretty good.

What stuff can you drive?
You can drive varied cars and trucks and boats and planes and stuff.
Check the Rigs of Rods Repository or Forums to find them.
There are trucks, boats, wreckers, cars, planes, helicopters, even Dodge Rams if they were Martian.

Can we have some screenies?
Yeah, sure. Here.





How much is it and where can I get it?
It's free and has always been, get it at their website.

I downloaded the mods, now how do I install them?
This is for Windows 7, what I do to install them, at least.

First, go to the Start menu and click Documents.
From there click the folder called Rigs of Rods 0.XX.X (I use 0.38, you might have 0.4.X)
Open "packs"
Insert .zip
And you're done! Start up ROR, and go! It'll be in the Fresh section when spawning vehicles.

IF THE DESCRIPTION STATES TO DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN THIS, DO WHAT IT SAYS.

Can we have links to important stuff?

Car showroom
Truck showroom
Repo (most people don't put their vehicles here)
Download (if you weren't paying attention)
ROR Wikipedia

(if you're a smart cookie, you know that I didn't put any screens of damage in this thread. you need to see for yourself!)

Suggestions & Requests / Cosmetic Vehicle Damage System

« on: August 21, 2014, 05:33:13 PM »

I've been waiting a long time for cosmetic vehicle damage in Blockland and there's obviously no update or addon for it.
This is how I would think it would work.

⚫ - Detection - Same as physics. If we didn't have (questionable) physics then this would be impossible. Uses collision detection in Torque's physics engine.

⚫ - Damage - Works like CVS.

⚫ - Damage Location Detection - Problems. No current way to detect where damage has been done.

⚫ - Damage Textures - Impossible, and another problem.

If the bullets look like squares, get this

Is this possible?
