General Discussion / Re: Dump your saves here

« on: October 17, 2020, 03:30:36 PM »

I got a few I think I could post, but they're not worth much. I have a radar station and a base headquarters I know I won't be finishing, so I can post those. I also have a volcano map that I could finish up, since it wouldn't be too hard to complete

Don't worry everyone, I will be releasing Snowy Hills later this year. I just have to make some small changes to the single greatest map I've ever created, and then it'll be all set.
You can find the original topic here: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=321885.0I
Scroll down for pictures.

I've also got a Trench Wars map I'm probably going to finish by the end of the year. I'll be sure to post that after I host it.
After that, I've got a city build I've been working on for a while that I wanted to use for an endless zombies server, but I'm not anywhere near finished.

General Discussion / Re: what is the best game mode you have played but isin't hosted anymore

This is such a crazy coincidence. I was just going through old screenshots the other day. Seeing all those old servers people use to host made me sad. I could always post some screenshots here to freshen people's memories.

I remember these servers were some of my favorites:

Oholiba's Nuketown TDM
Sailorman's WWII Dogfight
LegoPepper's Dogfight
Legoboss' Survival Horror
Conan's Prison Break
Tezuni's Slopes CTF
Greek2me's Trench Wars
Any of Gravity Cat's servers - TDMs, Endless Zombies, and more
Barnabas' Bunker server - around 100 players at its peak, if I remember correctly.

I started playing this game when I was in middle school, either in 2012 or 2013. It was after the V21 update, I do know that. The first computer I used to play it on broke, and I think I lost everything on it. The next computer broke, but I was able to recover just about everything. I have a screenshot archive on a USB disk. The oldest ones there were taken in 2015, a year after I started going to high school. I may have some before 2015, but I'll have to search the depths of my laptops to find anything.

Modification Help / Re: TRUE Icon Template

« on: March 31, 2020, 08:50:55 PM »

So I tried using the template I created, and I encountered the inverse of the original problem. The wand icon is terrible, since it has a slight white outline while the other default icons don't. I'll have to update the original post to provide a better one. I will call it "the true TRUE icon template."

Modification Help / TRUE Icon Template

« on: March 20, 2020, 05:01:40 PM »

The purpose of this topic is actually to provide people with a true icon template, rather than asking for help about one.

So I followed multiple tutorials for creating icons in GIMP, and I successfully did so. While running the game, I somehow noticed that there was a strange dark outline around my custom icons that seemed off. My attention to detail was soon proven to be correct. The icon "template" I downloaded that was provided in a tutorial topic was not good quality, causing it to differ from default icons.

I then created a custom icon template, forged from the default wand tool icon, since it provided the most area of the background. I successfully managed to create a true icon template that I have provided in this topic for anyone who was having the same problem, or anyone who just didn't want to go through the hassle of cutting and pasting and filling in their own template.

The entire image is meant to be 96x96, and the gray circle is meant to be 82x82. Anywhere within the 82x82 space not taken up by gray pixels that are part of the circle is meant to be completely black (0, 0, 0) but completely transparent as well (mostly in each corner). The surrounding area is meant to be completely white (255, 255, 255) and completely transparent. I messed up a bit and some places in the image where it should be completely black transparent are completely white transparent instead. You'll see what I mean if you import the png into GIMP. Hopefully, that doesn't cause any issues.

If you want to compare each individual pixel in the template to a default icon to check my work, be my guest. Please notify me of any problems or concerns. Hopefully, I helped some of you out who were planning on making icons for weapons or items.

Update 3/31/20: I don't recommend using my template. It has a white outline around it. I haven't been able to fix it yet. Try using the ones other people posted down below.

This will be great for my Battle for Snowy Hills TDM, as my frames would drop horribly because the map was so big.

Also, I feel dumb for not understanding, but a tutorial for installation would be nice.

Thanks for the update! I loved using the impact rifle on Nicepoint's endless zombies, and was wondering where it went. I also loved how you rehashed frog's WW2 weapons.

I am kind of angry. I was just fixing up the coding. I got sick of that error where if you run out of stick grenades, you won't be able to use your concussion grenades. It took me 30 seconds to identify it and fix it. I was also implementing the howitzer because it is a great explosive weapon that can be pretty useful and I thought people wouldn't complain about it being too powerful. I even gave it separate ammunition from the grenade launcher and flak cannon, so that I could give the grenade launcher less rounds without handicapping the howitzer.

Then you do this. You little... dirty.. animal man... thing!
