Modification Help / Soundpack not working: Console will not execute.

« on: July 02, 2013, 10:38:23 AM »

Add-On located for download here.

Simply, the file won't execute.  This is the error I am getting:

Code: [Select]

  CustomGameGui checking Add-On: Sound_Apocolyptic/Sound_Apocolyptic
    nested add-on - will not execute

I don't know what "nested add-on" means, but whatever that property is, it means this Add-On will not work.

Modification Help / Modeling Help: Helical Coil Help

« on: June 26, 2013, 02:04:02 AM »

I'm dealing with this sucker.  Right here.



How would I best get this coil to "stick" to the surface of the drill head without using a nightmarish amount of trig on each of the 61 coil corners?

I am using Milkshape 3D version 1.8.4.

Help / How do I change settings for an RTB dedicated server?

« on: June 11, 2013, 04:44:38 PM »

I just got the server running today, but when I loaded my build, lights and effects were missing, almost non-existant.  There were a lack of player vehicles and only so many events could occur at once.  How do I boost this limit, because none of the panels seems to gave any way of doing this.

Off Topic / Why do people act out of emotion?

« on: February 10, 2013, 05:51:43 PM »

It just seems so weird to me, but first off, I always try to brown townyze something first before making any decisions, and I see so many people giving and getting flak from other members because of some action made out of emotion.  At this point, before I continue, I would all readers to realize that I am not trying to single anyone out.  This decision-making and convention method is just so foreign to me.  If this is your method, well, that's your thing; I am not trying to lead you in any direction.

First off, I'd like to say a little bit about myself.  I prefer to answer things logically and calmly and keep my emotions out of situations as much as possible.  I am an emotional person; don't get me wrong.  In my group of friends at school, I am probably the most outspoken person there- not in the obnoxious way, I keep my space.  On this forum, as well as a few real-life examples, however, a short statement made in opposition, usually a simple maxim, is met by anger and frustration.  I wonder how people are provoked by a simple truth or rule when it may be already stated.

A second personal rule to which I adhere is that I hate the action, not the person, if emotion does get involved, that is, if it stands against common knowledge and boundaries.  When I point this out, people sometimes get frustrated with me, not my opposition.  I don't just say "no," I say why not.

Anyone have any thoughts?  Why are heavy evidence and proof met by so much flak directed towards the person that I am, rather than what I say, and often repeat?

Suggestions & Requests / Implosion

« on: February 09, 2013, 11:05:07 AM »

Implosion.  Basically like the radius impulse event when the force is set to negative, except that it needs to affect all players, vehicles and bots.  I am not sure if it could affect bricks.

Help / Does Blockland require memory allocation?

« on: January 19, 2013, 01:36:43 AM »

Okay, so let me begin by giving a scenario that often happens.

I start by running Blockland and easily get to the main menu screen as it is supposed to do, and nothing is out of order UNTIL I do some sort of process that causes the game to crash, this is usually when I query the server list or am loading a game with a moderate to high level of Add-Ons, which generally means a lot of activity and data transfer.

I switched to a Macbook Pro and installed a Windows 7 partition on the side that runs Blockland.  Currently, I have 86.2/185 GB available on this partition.  However, this should be plenty of room to run Blockland.  What I'm worried about, is if there is some kind of memory allocation issue.  For instance, to all Minecraft users, at some point, the game may run out of memory, and the game may have to be restarted entirely in order to continue playing.  Does Blockland have some sort of cap on the amount of local data I use on my computer?  I never had this problem with any previous computers, and I was able to host about five servers with a large amount of Add-Ons before this problem even came up on this installation.

Also, could having too many processes running at the same time be disrupting this?

Creativity / [[The BLF Music Composition Thread]] - Now moved to Creativity!

« on: January 14, 2013, 06:35:04 PM »

~ The Music Composition Thread ~

Hello all members of the Blockland Forums.  Personally, I love music and have been writing it for a while, and I'm wondering what other members of BLF also compose.  So in short, this is a thread where you proudly present any music or lyrics that you have written.

Share your tastes in music, your goals or some techniques to help out other composers on this forum.  Music theory help is appreciated.  To all non-musicians, critique would be appreciated if and only if the author allows it.

Please comply with the BLF rules and do not claim rights to a song that you do not own.
(However, posting a song that you are trying to base your song off of is an exception)

My music:

https://soundcloud.com/pryorworks1
(Constructive criticism is allowed for my music)

If I find that you put my music on YouTube without my permission, I will have it taken down.

(Moved to Creativity because it fits this section better.)

Creativity / Tuevon makes desktop backgrounds - NOW TAKING REQUESTS

« on: January 08, 2013, 02:23:12 AM »

With a few tools, I can make some pretty neat desktop backgrounds, mostly space-themed.  Feel free to download them and use them yourselves.

So far I have made a few that I still have on this computer (though some were lost when switching computers.)

Suggestions & Requests / Alternate shader/lighting/color systems.

« on: January 05, 2013, 04:38:09 AM »

I think that it would be really neat if Blockland came with a batch of server-sided preferences or some sort of mod that allows the user to chose what kind of lighting you would see in Blockland, and how the scene is lit overall.  For instance, if someone wants to host a game where everything is black and white, then if you were to build with a grayscale colorset, you would still be limited.  Particles and player models would still appear in color.  I was wondering if there was a way to set Blockland to appear in alternate color systems, such as Black and White, Sepia, etc. on a server-wide level.

Help / Blockland randomly crashes when...

« on: December 24, 2012, 06:31:03 PM »

1)  Trying to host.

I enable a few Add-Ons, not very many.  When trying to host, it passes through the stages, "Loading Add-Ons," "Loading Music," "Connecting to Host" and then as soon as it reaches "Connection Accepted," it crashes Blockland Immediately.

2)  Loading the "Join a Game" Menu.

This is much more rare, but occasionally when loading the "Join a Game" menu, Blockland crashes.

BlocklandLauncher.exe and Blockland.exe are both allowed full access through the firewall.  The server is ported to 28031 on a 32-player server.  I repeat, I am using few Add-Ons.  My thoughts are that Blockland is being overloaded memory-wise, if that is even possible.  I haven't encountered this before.

This is the console.log with trace(1); activated:

Suggestions & Requests / GUI Redesign.

« on: December 06, 2012, 11:05:01 PM »

Looking at the new "Start Server" overlay, it looks really nice, but we replaced the old GUI theme in that area.  It is the ONLY overlay in default Blockland that has that style, and it kinda irks me when I notice that all the other GUIs are of the original style.  I think that Blockland would look better if all the GUIs used the same style as we see on the Start Menu.
