Quote from: the Blockland v12 to v13 changelog
  • Avatar changes are now limited to 1 per second - this is to disable the "funky shirt" script which I have received a million complaints about.

Seriously, whenever someone makes a 'hi' thread it's always an alt or a moron or both.

To me, a good host is someone who can script his/her server to the point where it moderates itself so the host doesn't need waste his or her time doing what should be the job of a script.

Bots don't hold gruges, bots don't pick favorites, bots are fair, bots are the ideal admins.

The master server's not in Badspot's house.
 :cookieMonster:
It appears that blockland.us and master.blockland.us are the same server, and I'm getting conflicting results on its location, it's either in virginia or in texas.

No.  He was making coffee, that was his excuse last time.
... topic link or quote or it didn't happen.

He probably unplugged it to make coffee.
No no, you have it all wrong. The master server is too important to be unplugged just to make coffee, he unplugged his alarm clock for that. He unplugged the master server cause zombie mocheeze came attacking him and he was out of gas in his chainsaw (he used it all to mow his lawn) so he had to use his electric chainsaw to save himself, but he didn't have a free outlet, and really wanting his coffee, he had to choose between the matchmaker server and the master server. He thought the matchmaker server was too important to rotondo so, with much greif, he unplugged the master server. Then, just as he was about to plug in his electric chainsaw, zombie mocheeze ran away because he was terrified by kalphiter's sudden whining on the forums. When badspot finally felt safe (thanks to ephi flying in with kaje and a few sawn-offs), he re-plugged the master server. Then, just as suddenly as it had started, kalphiter's whining stopped, and without the kalph-o-matic  zombie repellant, zombie mocheeze is still lurking some where out there, perhaps planning his next assault, only next time he'll use ZAPT instead of L4B.

$1000 for the cheapest mac laptop. Ugh.

And then $20 dollars for a Blockland account
Right, because having a laptop implies needing a BL key?

I have no idea what you're trying to prove or accomplish here. What I needed to do was encode text in UTF-8 - you have not provided a solution for this. You are proposing I totally hack up an XMPP server to completely violate the RFCs (which are put in place and strictly adhered to in order to make sure the server can correctly interact with all the other servers and clients) which would take me maybe a week of searching through hundreds of thousands of lines of Java and would still leave this huge issue of how the client knows how to escape characters correctly for the different clients using it to display correctly. It is a terrible "alternative" solution to an issue that never really existed in the first place. Sure it "works" in theory but so does shooting your kid in the face to make sure he doesn't get abducted by a paedophile.

I much prefer my 5 minute solution which consists of about 5 lines of code. I'm calling this "debate" finished because I don't have the time to waste replying.
I should start a wikiquote page for you.

Gallery / Re: Blockland Gallery (screenshots)
« on: February 03, 2010, 02:48:55 PM »
I have to overhaul the whole thing, I uploaded 20 duplicate screenshots.
I have to make it so it will save the original name of the file(Blockland_00020.png) in the database, so it can detect if you may have uploaded the file before.
Use a hash or a checksum instead, users can have different files named the same thing, as well as duplicate files named differently.

The only issue is that you could take a screenshot, close Blockland improperly(crash), which means the prefs won't save.
This means that the screenshots will start the last used name on startup.
It appears to check the files names instead of storing a pref.

Gallery / Re: Diggy's Metropolis Server

An all-new city is what would really get things going again.
But keep a few good town buildings like the police station/bank/town hall/etc.

Metropolis when it was young (god, I remember when it was 9000 bricks and titled "Small City RP") was always a lot of fun. There was still stuff to see - always something new, and a lot more to do.
I remember when it was just the slums and trenton. (Was it treton or trenton?)
What happened to ace, wasn't he an admin too?

Archive the current Metropolis build, it's well and truly old enough. Start a new one, with a new layout and new builds.
I'm sure tons of people would appreciate it if you would post such an archive, which contained the entire city with all events and stuff. I think it would also be nice if you would post the special bricks you added to your server so that we wouldn't be missing half the landscape when we loaded it.

You essentially just said:
I want nearly every single new gun made for blockland to work the exact same way. This can be accomplished by a program that generates a script for your 2 second model and allows you to just package it and upload it to rtb. This would really take the guesswork out of copypasteing the default gun's script and search/replacing the word gun with the name of my new weapon, because that's really hard to do.
