Help / Blockland unable to read decals and auth bar files

« on: July 15, 2016, 10:39:07 AM »

/title

This started happening recently, and I have no idea what could be causing it. I've tried reinstalling Blockland a few times, and it keeps happening. I feel like it's an issue with my folders, but setting both Blockland and Add-Ons to Read & Write did not fix the issue.

Off Topic / Blockland exists, and it's in Germany

« on: June 30, 2016, 12:27:28 AM »

http://www.blockland.de (German)

Who would've guessed? Judging from the Wikipedia article, it even seems like an ok place to visit if you're in the area around Bremen, or maybe even a nice little place to live.

Off Topic / Summer reading

« on: June 12, 2016, 07:17:26 PM »

Are there any books I should read over the summer? I already have A Prayer for Owen Meany queued up as part of required reading for AP lit, and I also have the Lord of the Rings and Foundation trilogies available.

Also, discuss books if you want.

Off Topic / Is this gif real?

« on: May 31, 2016, 12:40:46 AM »

I saw this on reddit, and people in the comments are saying it's real and was on the local news.

But Reddit is full of jokesters and hooligans, and I know you guys are 100% reputable.

Off Topic / Turkey's president is doing some pretty sketchy stuff

« on: March 17, 2016, 05:03:53 PM »

woah look at all of this news that's happening all at once

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35735793 (warning: footage of bleeding and tear gas)

Turkish presidint Recep Tayyip Erdogan has, in light of recent support of the Kurdish rebellion and a free Kurdistan, started cracking down on terrorism within his country. He's wanting to remove immunity for pro-Kurd officials and parties, along with wanting to reclassify journalists, civil activists, and MP's as terrorists for "supporting" terrorist activities.

Additionally, a government raid was recently conducted on the headquarters of the Zaman newspaper, one of the last free sources of media in the country. Many of the journalists are back to work, but are unable to access archives and their e-mail accounts.

Suggestions & Requests / The ability to change precipitation

« on: February 26, 2016, 12:04:59 PM »

There isn't a way to change or set rain and snow particles using the environment editor, forcing you to use a skybox that has them. Additionally, there isn't a way to remove rain and snow particles from a skybox that has them without making a rainless version of that skybox.

It would also be great to let it rain sparkles from the sky.

Off Topic / Starting 2016 Off Right: Shootings in Chicago

« on: January 02, 2016, 12:37:18 AM »

Come on, it's the first day of the new year, and already there's been a shooting somewhere in the U.S. You'd think we would've gotten all of it out in 2015.

EDIT: Fixing title. This was multiple shootings on the same day, not one shooting with many victims.

Off Topic / "Clash of Clans 360" Mobile YouTube Ad

« on: December 23, 2015, 07:38:13 PM »

This only works on mobile afaik, but it might work to some extent on a desktop.

http://youtu.be/wczdECcwRw0

If you turn and tilt your device, you can look around in the video.

This is the first video I've ever seen that does something like this. Is this sort of thing new, or am I only now just hearing about it? Are there other videos that do this?

Off Topic / Mutatingpictures.com - Do these triangles look like a face to you?

« on: November 11, 2015, 11:28:56 PM »

This website algorithmically generates pictures that may or may not look like faces, bodies, or animals, depending on how you rate them on a scale of zero to ten. It's pretty interesting what the generator can spit out at you.

Was this ever released? I'd never seen it before the trailer came out, and it seems like it would be a neat thing to play around with.

Gallery / Best House [Farlands Build]

Best House
The mostly invisible house that was built in a special kind of hell.
Built on Kenko's wow at -2000, -550000.



Interior picture



This was way harder to build than it should have been.
