Help / Invalid Packets / Crashes

« on: June 10, 2011, 11:04:17 AM »

I have no idea what's up with this. Not sure if it's just me, or many people. Whenever I join a server, every once and a while, I get an invalid packet disconnection or an instant crash of Blockland. I'm not sure why. Maybe a bad Add-On that's spreading around of what?

Modification Help / A Vehicle With a Turret the Wheels Don't Work

« on: June 07, 2011, 07:21:36 AM »

Yeah. I made a vehicle where it had wheels (obviously) and a turret. It has a problem where the wheels don't show. There must be something I can't seem to notice. For a long while I had this problem. So I just posted it here. The turret works, just not the wheels.

I also know- oops I forgot. - oh wait I remember. I also know that it shows no error at all in the vehicle. When I spawn it, and when it's executing.

Modification Help / Stating/Animation with Weapons

« on: May 19, 2011, 07:39:11 PM »

There is this problem I have with these two weapons that are completely similiar but color and naming. From TRON Legacy. The orange and blue Light discs. So, I copied the Spear script and edited it with quite some effort, but not alot. They have an issue I can't seem to fix.
They both do not play the animations to fire. They do fire after holding, but doesn't show the animations.
I will show the "LightdiscBlue" script just that because it is almost completely similiar to "LightdiscOrange". The orange one just has different colors and naming.

Help / MAS Swarmfighter doesn't go away after updating on RTB

Yeah. Ever since if got updated, it still pops up as needs to be updated. I've updated so many times but it still says version 1 and needs to update. But I look in it's .zip and it says v2. Why?

Suggestions & Requests / Cut/Move Wand

« on: May 12, 2011, 03:31:30 PM »

Yeah. Like we have Copy & Paste. What about Cut & Paste? Sure you can duplicate and move. But then you have todelete from whatever distance you moved to. Cut, as most of you all know, just allows you to activate and move to a different location. I think this would be a useful tool.

And then maybe we can have a keybind for it?

Add-Ons / Soapbox Racer | Released 5/2/11 | Updated 5/6/11 | RTB Approved!

« on: May 02, 2011, 09:19:21 PM »

Version 1.2

This is just one of those soapbox derby cars that race non-motorized downhill. This is only one type of soapbox racer made. Soapbox racers often are built like this.


Changelog:

• Fixed impact sounds to now be used from the jeep
• Added a little extra options to add more characteristics to it
• Just a little tweaking with the script making the motorized faster and both steer better.

It comes with two types:

• Soapbox Racer
• Soapbox Racer - Motorized

I made two types just because so you don't have to drive it downhill all the time. Drive it uphill! :D

Add-Ons / Paper Airplane V2.2 (Fixed)

« on: March 19, 2011, 07:40:57 AM »

I recently have seen a request for this. So, I whipped it up. *Bam, just like that!* So, It may have a few glitches. That's why I have the communty here to help me find glitches and bugs. So, I might even make more types of planes in newer versions.

DO NOT POST THIS ANYWHERE. EVERYTHING I MAKE I RELEASE UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION.

UPDATE: Changed the model down below the tail wing to look like it was cut/folder there.
Changed "Description.txt" to "description.txt".

You see how much I this guy enjoyed that? Well, that could be YOU! YES YOU. By simply downloading THIS below!
So go on! Download it!

And if you find anything wrong with it, you just let me know and don't worry about it. I'll fix it.

Modification Help / Turret Animations with Milkshape 3D

« on: January 19, 2011, 12:13:53 PM »

I can't seem to figure out how to get my animations properly. I look off of Stratofortress's turrets. But once it's in-game, it moves up and down really fast. I never set it to cycle. I have the animations of root and look. neither are set to cycle. Can someone help me with how to make animations properly? I've used the tutorials Azerath made. When I make a keyframe, then rotate the joint then make another keyframe, it doesn't play till I made another 1-2 keyframes. But it plays it backwards. So I have to animate in a weird way to make it look right. Can someone give me a detailed way to animate these? I have all the right joints.
