Suggestions & Requests / Ki Blast?

« on: August 04, 2009, 10:08:47 AM »

Ok. So, its a simple idea. Maybe more than half the people here don't want this or just don't care, but I can still ask.

Its simple. Just a beam from your hand. No models needed.

When you have the iteam out, your hand has smoke emitting from it showing others you have it out, and just for looks. Then, activate and it shoots. It can be shot instantly but if you charge it, it gains range, size, power, and knockback.

As you charge, there is a ball on your hand. As it reaches the 3 points in time, it grows. Start charging, fits just around your hand. 2 seconds, 1.5X bigger. 5 second charge, 2.5 bigger than the first size.

Instantly shoot: Similar effect as a weak shotgun, you back up a bit and take about 30 damage. For hitting builds, it can take out about 2X3 bricks and smaller.

Charge 2 seconds: Power like a grenade, but the spread of the impact could only hit maybe 2 people. Can take out 2X4-2X6 bricks within the distance of about 3 Blockheads.

Charge 5 seconds: Can kill about 5 people standing in a row from side to side, if hitting the middle person.

And finally, after shooting, regardless of how long you charged, it takes another 5 seconds to be able to charge and fire again, showing such with fire emitting from the hands, rather than the smoke.

The color and sounds don't need to be anything specific, the idea is just what it is, light that makes big boom.

Help / Removing conflicting addons?

« on: July 05, 2009, 02:58:44 AM »

Ok, before anyone comes here thinking I don't know how to find my addon directory and delete stuff, thats not the case. Recently I played singleplayer designing a place, when I loaded my save, 1 brick didn't load. So I looked for it and it was a JVS door. I exited and looked and none of the door addons were active so I turned them all on. Then it crashes. When I click start, it loads, and then the screen freezes and my desktop mouse shows up over the screen, telling me its crashed since the Blockland mouse is still on the start button. I did some looking around since that only happens when I test a bad addon that is later failed. I looked at Traders posts and such, so by his intruction, I deleted an old set of doors for a new set, to work with his new system, then I went to my blockland directory and made sure the old one was gone, it was. So I start again and the same thing, so I go and disable everything else (Aside from defaults) and start again only with the JVS stuff that is supposed to work. Same result, frozen screen. I went back to the JVS posts to make sure I did everything right and I'm pretty sure I did still. So now that I have is the 3 JVS door PACKS. 0,1, and 2. I downloaded them again for good measure. I have the Switch pack he made, the system he made, and a set of windows. I'm pretty sure he made the windows. And aside from 3 weapons, 2 items, and the arches brick pack, JVS stuff is the only thing I have on. And before I had the JVS stuff on, all of those items and more worked just fine, and I havent gotten any more addons between those times. In addition, EVERY time I loaded the game, it was only on the bedroom. So, after that long set of boredom, here is what I need. Is there something wrong I did with the JVS stuff that I should change? And one more time, note, it worked while JVS was off and not when it was on. Or is there something else wonrg that I'm just missing?

Suggestions & Requests / A few ideas I had.

« on: April 02, 2009, 05:33:37 AM »

A bunch of things that I would attempt to do myself if I had the proper tools (After I had gained some experience with them)

1. From the CityRP servers, there are some wrench events that would be useful in a regular server.
Example: OnActivate>Player>SetInventory and any others that could be taken from it without using the CityRP itself. Found them.

2. Nails/Claws. Pretty much a weapon add-on that connects to the outside of the fingers of the Blockhead and when worn, your person acts and walks normally as if not having an item equiped. Then just use the animation used when you click, so it looks exactly the same as when you don't have an item, and then when you click over and over, and they start flailing their arms up and down. And also, if possible, having this and being able to activate stuff like a door without taking them off. And also, the real reason for this idea: they do damage, and when you hit a surface or brick, you see the effect when they hit the wall, like the hammer or baseballbat. And to make it easier when someone is actually trying to kill other people with them, you can make it auto, so you can hold the mouse button to make the persons arms go crazy up and down. This would work for several things. A vampire, werewolf, zombie, or crazy angry house wife, and it would also be useful to do the same thing that is done with the skis, where they appear blue, but depending what color is selected with your paint can, is what color the claws will turn into themself.

3. Bomb Jacket. Which is pretty much an item you have with you, and when you know you are about to die in a battle situation, you put it on, and avtivate it, and after a few seconds, which are shown in red peeps, to have an eplosion slightly bigger, and stronger than the HE Grenade. This would work for Self Delete bombing and such aswell. Note: No racism involving terrorism intended, just saying it would be a fun idea.

4. Not sure what to call this one, but remember in the old Mortal Combat, when he would say "GET OVER HERE!" and shoot a chain through your stomache and pull you to him? Thats pretty much my idea. Kind of a reversed Hookshot, that brings people caught by the chain to you and does damage.

5. Carrying Bomb. This idea is more of a vehicle idea. You attatch yourself to the seat part of the bomb, and change the persons snimation to look like you are standing NEXT to the bomb and carrying it. then give the person the walking animation to carry it around. Make it so the person is standing on the right side so you can hold most weapons and shoot while carrying it around. Then make it so this bomb itself can be blown up in one or two shots, weather its still being held or not. Then you just right click to let go of the bomb and then back up and shoot it, blowing up what ever building you left it in. In detail, this should look like a big propane tank laying on its side, and have a big nuclear symbol printed on it so people don't think its actually a propane tank, but just a big bomb. Make a small handle bar where your persons free hand would appear to be holding while you carry it around. And maybe. Just MAYBE, put some small wheels on the bottom to make it look like it was built to be carried around in that fasion. But regardless of if there are wheels or not, it has to be positioned to look like your person is dragging it around, using your left hand to carry it, and your right hand to shoot.

6. More "Nerf" guns. Some people (N00bish or not) Play servers with "Family RP" in it, and so far, I haven't seen anything about people hating family RP servers like they do the few left over City RPs. So this idea is just making more nerf guns, nerf swords, or just pretty much, anything made of nerf, making it kid safe, and not doing any damage, to make that section of the family RP more playable.

7. More SELECT Decals.Few decals that would help my future servers (And anyone else who would download any of these requests) is first, vampire faces, male and female, because we don't have any of those yet. Swat team style faces and decals. Pretty much big armoured outfits, that would look like a police swat team. For example, in a city, get a big swat team together to bust into a house and capture or take out a big criminal, also bringing more use for my first request, so at the police area, only the swat team people could get their assigned weapons. And store keeper dcals. Because for any server with a shop, it would be useful.

*EDIT*
8. Turret cam. Pretty much the camera wrench events, but it can shoot projectiles when the person is controlling it, for a more realistic way of security. Not sure if this would ever work but it would be a nice idea to have laying around.

I may think of some more later, but these are the things I have been thinking about the most.

Thanks in advance to those who at least put an idea here into consideration.

Help / Sudden Blockland freezing issues.

« on: February 19, 2009, 12:22:13 AM »

First off, I have Windows Vista 64-bit with ATI Radeon HD 4850.

Blockland has always worked perfectly for me in every way, yet suddenly I can't play it at all. I open Blockland, I have RTB installed with it, I go look at the RTB updates and download some new stuff I find interesting, like always. The last time I played was a few days before I tried again, where I was building in single player, preparing for a server I was making. While I was building, I get the "LAG" message in yellow at the top of my screen. First slip second I'm think about how that doesn't normally happen, and by that time I see that is is the same effects as when I am in a server as it dies. So press ESC and click dissconnect as I would in a server, then I get Vistas common message saying "Blockaldn has stopped working" so I don't think anything of it, and continue doing other things on my computer. Now, a few days later, I go back on and continue my procedure by checking the RTB updates, download what I like. So this time, I've downloaded a large load of prints. I attempt to go to single player, then Bed Room. Then it freezes just like it does before the loading screen appears. This is where I noticed the issue: This of course now is taking alot longer than normal, I'm not even to the loading screen yet, so I move the mouse around, not even clicking. Then I notice that the Blockland mouse is frozen, but my basic computer mous pointer is seperately moving instead. So I wait awhile, then do thing cliche thing and do CTRL+ALT+Delete, then open the task manager to make the desktop show up without closing it, then the program status says that Blockland isn't responding, and there is also the common XP style message when something freezes and you force it closed. So I click close in that message and it instantly reverts to the regular resolution and is ready to work like before I opened the game. I have tried this several times, turned the computer off, turned it back on, tried again, same issue. The same thing also happened when I clicked tutorial to see if that worked. I realize most people won't want to help me because my ID# is huge and that gives me the "Noob" label, but reguardless, please help.
