This has been going on for a few days now. Every time I start Blockland with the shortcut the launcher downloads all default files.

Modification Help / Can you package custom add-ons into a Speedkart_ add-on?

« on: July 02, 2013, 11:29:29 AM »

My speedkart track uses custom prints and bricks so for ease of use I'd like to package them into the Speedkart_*.zip add-on. How would I do this?

Suggestions & Requests / Fix Swiss Army Gun printfill to work on terrain bricks

« on: July 02, 2013, 07:18:52 AM »

It doesn't recognize them as print bricks.
Edit: Brainfart. More specifically the printfill mode doesn't always work. Sometimes it does, other times the tool doesn't recognize the terrain bricks as print bricks.

Gallery / Mt. FML | Jeep obstacle course hazardous for ages over 3 and sane people

« on: June 25, 2013, 03:40:10 PM »

An idea that first was formed while messing around in Dezcaban's server. Built in Pablo's Lego Server (thus the colors) but I noticed while testing it in singleplayer that it had a few impossible parts so I fine-tuned it a bit. Now it's theoretically possible to complete it (yes even the scissor part near the top) but it's practically impossible to do it in one try. I don't feel like spending any more time on it so here's the save. Feel free to add checkpoints of some sort. It's designed to work with the default jeep, only uses default bricks, and it works with any colorset. 140 bricks. If you dare try a vehicle which doesn't have the instant space bar brake, you are going to die in real life from pure hatred towards life and existence.





Serving suggestion: Singleplayer only, avoid multiple jeeps on the course at the same time. Use salt in moderation when served with soups.

Suggestions & Requests / [Request] Playing custom player animations with customizable keys (+double jump)

« on: June 25, 2013, 04:54:05 AM »

I'm in need of two scripts.

1) Playing custom player animations with configurable keys. For example setting a key in the controls to play a kick animation.
Addendum: A client sided a script that adds a new line to the controls list in the options. For example a kick option that you could bind to K and when you are using my player type in-game and press K the kick animation plays.

2) Double jump. When you press the jump key the jump animation plays. If you press the jump key again within 500ms of pressing the jump key a double jump animation plays and you gain a velocity boost upwards. (I can do the velocity boost myself.)
Addendum: A script that detects that you have pressed the jump key in the last 500ms + you are currently in air. If true: play double jump animation. If false: do regular jump action.

I have a custom player model with custom animations I have made that uses a custom player type I created. I don't need anyone to create a model, animation, or a player type. None of this has anything to do with the default Blockhead player. I need a script.

Suggestions & Requests / Are there any weapons/items that have textures/images on them?

« on: June 22, 2013, 03:39:59 AM »

Because I could have sworn there was a weapon that did the red ACOG sights or similar with a transparent texture. Can any of you think of a model that uses textures in one way or another like text or a logo somewhere?

General Discussion / Ambient occlusion in Blockland (ie. Making anything look all fancy 'n pretty)

« on: June 20, 2013, 04:29:05 AM »

Since only a select few read the 3D model thread I'll crosspost it here. Zeblote had the bright idea of baking ambient occlusion into textures and putting it in-game. Ambient occlusion is the general make-anything-look-realistic button in 3D rendering.

Alrighty then. Here's what baked ambient occlusion looks like in Blockland. The minor banding visible is caused by GIF compression. It looks fine in Blockland.

Both screens at minimum texture quality.

One 256x256 texture per color. No problem with 2-3 colors but if you have more it might increase the loading time with a dozen seconds at worst. Colorshifting works.

I'd like to test this properly so if anyone wants their upcoming Blockland model/released add-on done in this style let me know.

I think this could look awesome on vehicles.

Off Topic / How to not act and respond in a job interview

« on: June 13, 2013, 05:45:53 PM »

I just found this video and stuff really hits the fan at the three minute mark. Does anyone know if this is fake? The dude in Skype is his friend or something? I have hard time believing this is a real interview. This guy is just terrible. Absolutely terrible. Please tell me this fake. Please.

Incredible cringe alert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULqAIbjCsXE

Edit: The further I get into the video the more I'm starting to think this is a joke. It's a joke right? Right guys?
Edit2: 10 minutes in. It's a joke. I refuse to believe this is a real situation. My cringe levels have gone off the charts and right into infinity. This guy is telling obvious joke answers to all the questions. Sorry for posting this, now I feel like an idiot. It's just that the first 3 minutes seemed very real.

Off Topic / In Russia it is illegal to tell children homoloveual people exist

« on: June 12, 2013, 07:19:19 AM »

No, this isn't from the Onion. This is just surreal. Reddit repost of course. Slightly sensationalist title as the law hasn't passed yet but it has been voted on: 434 for, 0 against.

Games / Mirror's Edge 2 announced!

« on: June 10, 2013, 06:14:26 PM »

Hell loving yes! It's back! It's Faith's origin story.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6PXba8X6N8

Confirmed for PC: https://twitter.com/mirrorsedge/status/344198222119587840

Still in early development though: http://www.mirrorsedge.com/

Reddit thread with speculation and more info: http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1g2jwg/mirrors_edge_2_announced/

There's speculation that it's a reboot since no official source has called the game Mirror's Edge 2. It has been just called "Mirror's Edge™". I'm fine with an origin story but I hope they don't start rewriting things.

Edit: Some wallpapers I made from the trailer: http://imgur.com/a/FPHwK

Modification Help / Temporarily replacing the player light?

« on: March 27, 2013, 06:01:17 AM »

I would like to temporarily replace the player light (not mount the light, but simply change what light is mounted when the light is turned on) when a specified image is mounted. I have no idea where to start. Can someone help me?

On a related note, how to call the "player light" command in a function?

Modification Help / Chargeable weapon with changing projectile damage

« on: March 12, 2013, 04:11:12 PM »

I believe SpaceGuy's "Polar star" (or something like that) weapon did this. Basically a weapon that you charge by holding down the fire button and the projectile damage depends on how long you held down the key. The final stage would fire a completely different and the most powerful projectile. I really have no idea how to make this.
