I'd add maps back and get RTB fully running.

Music / JoeysWorldTour - Magnolia Chicken ASMR

« on: July 26, 2017, 01:00:26 PM »

So uh...
This morning I took this video and made it a .OGG for meme's sake.

It's a long audio track, which means a heavy file.

Here it is: Magnolia_Chicken.ogg

If the file-size is somehow a problem for you I made a compressed version keeping all of the audio, but losing most of its quality.

Here's the compressed version: Magnolia_Chicken_Compressed.ogg

how will builds be vetted and/or will there be clearing of low quality builds every once in a while?

I have a ruleboard that explains all the building requirements on the server. Basically if it's ugly or if it doesn't suit a Tropical theme, under my will I can remove it. If it's a really good build but doesn't quite fit in, I might move the build elsewhere, such as on another island.

wouldnt it be better to just post the times here instead of having to repeat yourself every pm you get?

I would, except since it's not dedicated as of right now, and since I don't know when I'll be online, that seems to be the most efficient option under these circumstances.

General Discussion / speeddog73's Ocaro Island (New Falling Tiles Minigame!)

« on: July 24, 2017, 05:05:27 PM »

Ocaro Island is an Island Resort and Beachbuild server on a big string of tropical islands made of ModTer bricks.
It has a variety of amazing builds, map-like terrain, and lots of places to chill and relax, or mess around and have fun.

First generated by [GSF]Ghost's PTG, enhanced and built upon by your's truly, Ocaro Island is a huge landscape made of ModTer Bricks. Tropical, open, and inviting, big beaches surround the landscape, with plenty of room to build and explore.

The island is loaded with many land vehicles and watercraft.



There are many tropical buildings, from Bar to Boathouse, and even an outdoor Cinema.



Outside awaits Beaches and Tide-pools, with many chairs and umbrellas.



And to top it all off, many memes, tropical music, and great soundtrack.

UPDATES

Here is what has been accomplished so far.

• The Boardwalk
  First off, I know this was not the most requested build, rather it was one of the least. However, because of the increasing number of service builds such as restaurants and food stands, I felt like the boardwalk was rather needed before anything else so their organization and convenience does not get out of control.
  
  
  UPDATE: The boardwalk has seemingly become Flavor Town. Restaurants are crowding the streets of the boardwalk. For this reason I wish to make an expansion on the boardwalk to add in more space, however I wish to modify the already existing expansion, so I will not post any updated images yet. Once the expansion is finalized, I will post new images. Sorry for the delay!
   
   
• Seaside Hotel
  
  The hotel has gotten a huge update! There are now floors with different hotel rooms, different color and print variations of rooms, an elevator (still in progress) on each floor, and a balcony view from every room.
  
  
  More work needs to be done, but its hefty. The ground floor needs to be made, which of that I want more than just a reception area. Ideas I might add are: a diner, recreation room, lounge, and an area for food services, (Might be merged with the diner.) and a Casino.
  
  Likewise, all these images are available in their full resolution at Ocaro Island's Official Gallery.
   
   
• Minigame: Falling Tiles
  
  Surprise! After many player suggestions of an addition of a minigame hub, I decided to make an island-themed Falling Tiles minigame.
  
  (...I may have a problem with foliage.)
  
  I plan to make more of these in the future. If you have any ideas for minigames, please share them with me!

Want to see MORE? Check out Ocaro Island's Official Gallery for more pictures of the island and its builds!


NOTE: This server is now dedicated! Its regulatory uptimes are from 5PM - 10PM CST on Weekdays. On Weekends it will regularly be up most of the day. Most of the time the server will be up later or earlier than these times.
Currently I’m facing an issue with build permission and its distribution. Once I find a workaround to this, I will host at these dedicated times. For now, expect the server to be up around the evening in CST.

See you at Ocaro!

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Can Somebody loop this song?

« on: July 24, 2017, 02:26:36 PM »

putting it at crap bitrate is not a good way to compress if you want to hear how clear the music is - if that's not what you changed, what is it then

I reduced the Bit Rate, but I kept the Sample Rate at 44100Hz. In my opinion having a good Sample Rate is better than a lower Bit Rate. It removes most background noise from the small, barely noticed instruments and keeps the larger ones at a good quality. Also it doesn't alter pitch, or has high spikes in tone. I have found this to give a heavier file size, but it does provide a mildly compressed output for 2-3 minute songs.

I got this. Y'all just need to know how to compress.

Here's a full loop with a shortened title.
Size-wise it's a little on the heavier side, but if you absolutely need the full song this will do.

Suggestions & Requests / Looking For "Advanced Roads Ramps" Addon

« on: July 16, 2017, 02:58:58 PM »

A while back an addon for some really nice road bricks was released, and featured a pack with simple roads, complex roads, and ramped roads. Somehow the ramped roads were said to be lost to the community. Apparently QuadStorm had a link to the ramps brick but the link is now dead.

(https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=271108.msg8031025#msg8031025)

They should look something like this.

(https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=271108.msg8031011#msg8031011)

Here is the original mod page, which does not feature the ramps.

(https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=270863.0)

Does anybody have the addon? If so you can upload the file on a file-sharing website like MediaFire or various others which is easy and free.

Thanks,

Help / Re: Blockland Crashes When Hosting Server

« on: July 09, 2017, 10:22:12 PM »

Sorry for the delayed response, I was gone on a vacation.

and is your framerate dropping, or just straight up crashing?

My framerate does not lower or rise as far as I can tell. I get a constant 60 FPS and I don't lag at all through the crashes.

I have found a slight fix to this entire problem and that is to turn off the Day/Night cycle in Environmental Settings. I have found this to be a giant problem in the "overload of memory" that I suspect to be the cause of the crashes. I have unhappily toggled this off and stuck with a standard environment type, and from there out I have gotten no crashes thus far. Still I completely do not understand why I even need to take even a slight precaution to lowering BL's memory usage as it should take up my full PC specs. Nevertheless, I have found a "fix" for now, but I would still enjoy having a day/night cycle present in my server.
