Gallery / Treynolds416's Pong Arena. Possible Tournament.

« on: November 14, 2010, 10:36:52 AM »

Due to the fact that I have started this up again, and because the original topic was too old to bump, I decided to re-post.


     Remember the start of V9? Those good old Pong matches? However, there are none left anymore! How could this have happened?  Well, my fellow Blocklanders, I propose a solution! Behold, the magnificence of the Treynolds416 Pong Arena! It's a modern take on an old classic!


The Build





The Videos
My good friend Phrozen (a.k.a. 16-bit) went to the trouble of recording a video of the stadium and uploading it to a Youtube channel for me.

Yes, you may rate out of 10


The Tournament
When I first hosted this, I held a little tournament where people could sign up in advance.

It was a total disaster.

If I do have another, it will be on a first-come, first serve basis. However, I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble. That's why I'm leaving this decision up to you guys. If the answer is yes, I will set a date and time, probably after Thanksgiving.

Gallery / Treynolds416's Warehouse CTF

« on: October 17, 2010, 07:52:01 AM »

Description
   The Warehouse CTF is a small Capture the Flag arena. It's meant for a fast paced six on six style of play. Players have to navigate the maze of boxes, and watch out for other players as well. Speed is a key skill. The brickcount is 9,340. Contains two bases, two spawn rooms(Not pictured), two sniper towers, a catwalk, and a stuffload of boxes.

Warning: May be Image-Heavy








Rate out of 10, AFTER you play it.

Server

NOTE TO EVERYONE:

It's either print bricks or 30,000 regular bricks. If I used a mere 4 bricks per box, instead of one, the brick count would double. So kindly shut up about it.


IN ADDITION:

This was built for playability, not looks. Don't even rate unless you've actually fought in it and have seen it in person.

Modification Help / The Tram Project. No Poll Currently.

« on: October 07, 2010, 05:48:45 PM »

Stemming from this topic.

My Plan
Have three trams made for Blockland. The themes will be past, present, and future
I want these trams to be useful for doing what a tram does in real life; ferrying around people to places. To accomplish this, all three will follow the criteria below:

   1) All trams will have zero degree turning, so that they will always follow a straight track.
   2) All trams will seat eight passengers and one driver
   3) All trams will have a brake, for stopping
   4) All trams will ride on rails no wider than 8 studs apart
   5) All trams will be no wider than 12 10 studs


My Progress

Suggestions & Requests / Auto-Locking Topics

« on: August 17, 2010, 01:04:12 PM »

I know I am not the only one pissed off by idiots bumping old topics that need to be kept dead.
Therefore, I propose that we get an auto-topic locker for the forums. These would be triggered after a certain topic gets to a certain page number.

For example, if I made a Gallery topic, and it slipped to, say, page 10. It would then be automatically locked, by default.

But wait! What if the topic owner has been away from the forums for a month while his/her topic gets to page 10? Well then, they can just manually unlock it. So if they care about it, they can bump it or whatever, provided that they get back before 3 months is up and no one can comment.

Gallery / Trey's Pirate Ship! (IMG Heavy)

« on: March 20, 2010, 06:46:24 AM »

Description

     This is basically an old sailing vessel, similar to the pirate ships of the 1700-1800's. It has 6 cannons, 3 rowboats, bunks, an armory, the Captain's quarters, 3 masts, and under 2000 bricks.

     Brick Count: 1,978

I've also been thinking of building a second boat and having a Pirate vs. British TDM. Please give me your thoughts about the TDM.

     Please rate X/10, constructive criticism is welcomed.

Secret Harbor (Not so secret anymore)


     The secret harbor is basically a dock hidden inside the boat. It is located in the back half of the ship, next to the sleeping quarters. There is a button on the inside of the boat that opens the back hatch, allowing the boat to exit. The hatch will open from the outside if triggered by a boat. Now, enough with the words and on to the pictures!

General Discussion / Which kind of server do YOU like best?

« on: February 06, 2010, 10:29:03 AM »

If you pick other, tell me what. State your views and preferences please. And if you could help explain some of my questions, thad be great.  

Tell me why you like certain servers more than others!

Help / Blockland changed into a read-only file overnight! Help me!

« on: November 29, 2009, 08:41:47 AM »

When I start BL, a window pops up say "cannot write to key.dat.file. This can be caused by opening BL from a read-only directory or CD-ROM" Needless to say, I do not play BL from a CD. I joined in v8, and I never had this problem till yesterday. Now when I save, the save does not show up in the load or save lists. The code window says "Error opening ______.jpg" Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it?
