Playing sounds as a concept from a vehicle server-sidedly is completely possible. However, controlling the pitch of one sound is only possible on the client. To figure out how to pitch the sound you also need to know the speed of the vehicle, which is of course accessible if you're the host. It's possible for the server to constantly send the speed to the client, but it'll sound really choppy since you can't send the speed often enough.

Slayer has not been updated to support the latest version yet
It'll probably take a while as he'll need to find a good alternative to AIConnection representations

I'm not sure about cpu, but blockland is definitely using more ram now after the update. Each player that joins a server uses around 55mb of ram now, when before it was only 13-15mb of ram. That will reach ram limits a lot sooner, so you might want to reduce the max player count on your servers for now or prepare for potential run time errors.

I imagine it's also partially to blame on the fact that the ghost limit was raised from somewhere over 256000 to 1024 * 1024, which means that every single ghost which the server keeps track of that a client knows about uses more memory to store the ghost ID. There had to be another change to make it jump this much though, as this would only mean like two bits more for every ghost. Maybe Badspot just messed up the alignment or something, whatever.

Well that is better than nothing I guess, is it possible to activate it when you get in a car?

The speed data accessible by the client when you're not the host is far too choppy, so you need to be the host too. So yes, it's possible to make it start when you get in a vehicle.

The alternative is a ScriptObject. You'll need to implement a more generic interface to working with minigame members that internally abstracts that away.

the only way an add-on version could work is with an external script; torque doesn't really have the capability to read image files like that, unless you were to do some goofy workaround with guibitmapctrl objects

getPixelColor(x, y) i believe

works for guibitmapctrl

The new start screen works kinda like that. Press the windows key and start typing for what you want.

... new? The same applies to Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

mClampF - mClamp misbehaves if fed floating-point values.

Doesn't really "misbehave", just strips away the fractional part.

The brick limit (256000) wasn't raised, only the ghost object limit (1048576). Whether or not this will let you use more than 256k bricks with some messing around depends on whether or not the client wants to render more than 256k even ifghosted.

I dunno what you managed to do wrong, I'm using a LG G3 with a custom Lollipop (because the LG skin is disgusting in 5.0) ROM right now.

Oh man this thing was so bad

Apparently bunker servers that start BL_IDs at 100 sort of forget up the script.
Expect 100-150 to possibly be wrong. :s

EDIT: Also not sure why -1 is in there... It seems to change names from time to time... Weird.

Occasionally players will show up with BLID -1 on the player list.

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=273280.0 this would need to get updated in order to support that, because anything using that will screw with setting individual speeds, and vice versa.

I'm trying to think of a simple way to accomplish that
One way would be so that, for example:

    effective max forward speed = playertype speed * getForwardSpeedFactor
    getForwardSpeedFactor = getSpeedFactor

One could then separately modify whatever is necessary
What extra factors would be included, though?
Having every combination of forward, backward and side for normal, crouch and underwater would get messy really quickly — perhaps only have scales for directions that apply to all states?
