246818 bricks.




Herez a download if you want.  http://www.mediafire.com/download/32yc8rzaxxnubo5/giganticsphere.zip

Add-Ons / Script_ModTer_setGround

« on: December 02, 2014, 11:35:41 AM »

Usage:
Step 1.  Enable either Brick_Modter_BasicPack, Brick_ModTer_InvertedPack, or enable both.
Step 2.  Enable Script_ModTer_setGround
Step 3.  Be amazed as any ModTer bricks you leave in midair will stay there! :O

This addon essentially just makes the ModTer Bricks emulate the behavior of Brick_Floating_Support.  The game thinks the bricks are connected to the ground, and so you can use them as supports in midair.

Please note that with this add-on enabled you can no longer collapse a tower of modter bricks with a wand.  You must delete each modter brick seperately.

To demonstrate the abilities of this mod, I destroyed ACM City.  ...  I hope you're happy.

Also I built a house.

Save it, load it, dupe it, undo it, bop it, twist it, flick it, spin it.

Yes.  If it works for a 2x2 plate, it should work for this brick.

Add-Ons / Brick_Floating_Support

« on: December 01, 2014, 12:54:12 PM »

Usage:
Step 1.  Build a tower of 1x1x5s.

Step 4.  Build things on top of the Floating Support.

The game will treat this brick as if it is on the ground, whether it actually is, or not.  This means it can be used as a support point for other bricks.

Add-Ons / Script_SetMeanHeight

« on: November 30, 2014, 02:21:57 PM »

Usage:
/setmeanheight
   Sets the water height to the average brick height.
/setmeanheight #
   Sets the water height to the value you specify.

This addon will not work properly if
   a. You are not admin.
   b. There is no water present on the map.
   c. It is not enabled on the server.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/2v57ba1s8sl6vba/Script_SetMeanHeight.zip

This add-on won't set the water height above 100.  This is because the water zone the default game creates is 100 units high.

General Discussion / Re: I absolutely hate the save format.

Saving does need to be redone...  But for now I just use this:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/xr09af9soz6hb2w/Support_DG_DediLoader.zip

Auto-Saves and Auto-Loads with ownership.  Saving was made by Kalphiter.  I'm sure you're capable of modifying it for your own purposes.

Modification Help / Set the view distance above 1000?

« on: August 09, 2014, 11:12:03 PM »

Is there any way to set the view distance above 1000 without using an external program?  I've been using Cheat Engine, but it's a pain to set up, and if there's an easier way I'd certainly like to know of it.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Saving ALL Brick Ownership

« on: July 21, 2014, 07:44:37 PM »

Ooh, I see.  I wasn't quite sure what .isBaseplate did, but that makes a whole lot more sense.

So as you said before.

Setting .isBaseplate to true on every brick should do the trick.

I wonder if any other issues would arise from doing that.

ohwell

Code: [Select]

package saveownership
{
function fxDTSBrick::onPlant(%obj)
{
parent::onPlant(%obj);
%obj.isBaseplate = 1;
}
function fxDTSBrick::onLoadPlant(%obj)
{
parent::onPlant(%obj);
%obj.isBaseplate = 1;
}
};
activatepackage(saveownership);It seems to work just fine.Edit: It doesn't work just fine.  It emulates the "Floating Bricks" addon, if you've ever used that.  It's probably a better idea to set all bricks as baseplates before each save, and then revert them back to their previous states immediately afterwards.

I still wish this was part of the game's default functionality...

Ownership is currently based on baseplates.

No it's not.

Code: (aatemp.bls) [Select]

This is a Blockland save file.  You probably shouldn't modify it cause you'll screw it up.

2x2" -38.5 9.5 4.1 2 0 0  0 0 1 1 1
I placed 3 2x2 bricks, then used another key to place a 16x baseplate and 3 2x2 bricks on top of that.  Then I placed another 2x2 on top just for fun.

When loaded all of those bricks will belong to whoever placed the first brick on the bottom of the stack.

So setting .isBaseplate to true will not help.

Regardless, it'd probably be pretty easy to make this.

Maybe. I've seen a few alternate server-sided savers out there.  But even so it'd be nice to have that sort of functionality in the default game.

Suggestions & Requests / Saving ALL Brick Ownership

« on: July 21, 2014, 10:52:33 AM »

Currently(or the last time I checked) brick ownership is saved via a sort of stack system.  All of the bricks in a stack inherit the ownership of the brick at the bottom of the stack.  So if Blocklander A creates a house and a yard, and then Blocklander B build's a treehouse on Blocklander A's lawn.  Then the ownership of Blocklander B's treehouse is lost when the build is saved.  So when they return the next day to continue building, Blocklander B cannot continue building his treehouse without some sort of add-on, trust from Blocklander A, or a bit of tricky saving/loading.  This can be a real problem with large community builds and any sort of events that use named bricks.

I'd like to see some sort of an option to save ALL ownership in the default game.  Maybe a "save as > Commmunity Build" sort of feature.
