Off Topic / So I was making toast...

« on: March 02, 2014, 03:22:15 AM »

...and I had to get five stitches.

[On Thursday] I was trying to cut a burnt bit off because my toaster likes to overcook one side and not cook the other and the breadknife slipped and I cut my thumb.


I also forgot to instagram it before applying first aid.

But because I'm not a little bitch I still went on the school camp later that day.

Anyway discuss injuries that had stories you could simplify down to something like the title.

Gallery / What did you build while the servers were down?

« on: June 26, 2012, 12:41:30 PM »

^title

I made a photo studio with evented lights. I will get pictures up soon.

Here are some pictures taken using the build:









As you can see, it has multiple lights; including a colored one, that has evented buttons. The back wall is also made out of 1x1print bricks, for maximum paintability. There is an item hanger, to get items at the right height for photograping.
There is also a prop room, and  a control panel (Not shown).

Help / Weird Blue dots appearing in radar.

« on: June 26, 2012, 04:11:41 AM »

I was testing my add on, and turned on my radar. After a short time, all these blue dots started appearing, first one, then two, and they kept slowly increasing. They were also moving, and would occasionally move past me, and freeze in place, relative to me.

Modification Help / Projectile Trail + Explosion not showing

« on: June 25, 2012, 08:31:31 AM »

The trail and explosion emitters for some projectiles for a vehicle aren't working. The projectiles are working (They can damage players, and the light attached moves), and the emitters appear when spawned from a brick, but not when attached to the projectile.

Modification Help / How to make vehicles look like they are made out of bricks?

« on: June 13, 2012, 10:14:31 AM »

For my Mars Mission pack, I would like to know how to make the vehicles look like they were constructed out of bricks (Same goes for the weapons).

I am using Blender 2.6.

Modification Help / Mars Mission Pack

« on: June 12, 2012, 06:04:45 AM »

Mars Mission Pack

This set is based of the Lego Mars Mission line, which was discontinued. I intend to make the vehicles as similar as possible to their Lego counterparts.



This is currently a: WIP (Clearly)

So far:

Vehicles:

Name	Status
Crystal Hawk:	80%
Astro Fighter:	0%
Trike:	10%
Alien Jet:	75%

The crystal hawk works in-game, but it has no brick textures. Does anyone know how I would add them? i.e. The vehicles are supposed to look like blokos.


Weapons:

Name	Status
Astronaut Blaster Gun:	75%
Alien Staff thing:	75%

Just because an Item is not in the list, it doesn't mean it won't be included..

Pictures:


AAAA Tinypic wont show me the codes.. THE CODES

• Crystal Hawk:
  
  
• Alien Jet:
  
  
• Astronaut Blaster Gun:
  
  
• Alien Staff

If anyone wants to make a bloko styled logo for this (Based on the actual logo) go for it, and post below.
Also, I can release that megaphone if anyone wants.

These are also my first (working) add-ons :3:

Gallery / Beach Landing TDM [WIP]

« on: April 16, 2012, 10:24:45 AM »

This is a TDM in which there are two teams, one defending, and one assaulting from the beach. At the moment its just a TDM, but I will refine it more.
Most of it is pretty much done, but the Attackers base is just a placeholder at the moment.

Most, if not all of the bricks are default, but the events and weapons aren't.

This uses the following addons:

• Bushido's T+T weapons
• Spaceguy's TDM
• SetPlayerTransform
• Additem events

Map overview:


One of the attacker's 3 landing craft:


One of the defender's HMGs:


The Attacker's trench + small dugout:


Defender's class selection:



Feel free to rate x/10

Suggestions & Requests / Change to light options

« on: April 06, 2012, 12:06:30 PM »

As the title says, I am here to discuss a different method for choosing lights in the wrench menu on a brick.


Instead of it having a list of lights, it would instead have a button for a menu to come up. When that menu opens, there would be Red, Green, and Blue sliders, a brightness slider, a corona size slider, and a corona checkbox. There would also be the option to add multiple phases to the light, and change how long they all last individually.

     Another possible feature would be a button, leading to a text editor program (in-game) that allows you to edit the light directly, for more advanced people.

Modification Help / Slash commands

« on: September 08, 2009, 11:25:01 PM »

Im making a script with a lot of slash commands in it, should i just keep it as it is or use a gui?

I am going to make a few prop bricks using blender, i was wondering how big to make it if i wanted it to be the sames size as a  4x4x8 brick would be.
