Suggestions & Requests / Vertical super shift

« on: March 19, 2015, 08:45:06 PM »

Could someone do super shift that works vertically? Super Shift basically makes moving bricks horizontally less time consuming by instantly moving it the exact length of the brick(1x64's moving 64 spaces for example) instead of one stud at a time.
Super Shift doesn't exactly work vertically, which means that you have to move 64x64 cubes and any other brick vertically one step at a time.

How did you even miss this? Super shift works vertically perfectly...

Never used Num+ and Num5, only Num3 and Num1.

Super Shift works vertically as well. Use the shift brick up/down buttons rather than the single-plate adjustments. On a default binding with a numpad, I believe up and down are Num+ and Num5 respectively.

Gallery / (Video) I tried making music out of Blockland gunshot sounds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWyrhX9fUmk

Been meaning to post this for a long time ever since I uploaded the video, but I got lazy and forgot it existed. Old video from summer of 2014 where I tried to do one of those videos where gunshots are synced to the music.

The beginning of the video is decent, the middle is just plain terrible with out of place gunshots, and the end of the video is slightly better. I would work on this again if schoolwork wasn't keeping me down.

Suggestions & Requests / One-Shot: Disposable One-Time Use Pistol

« on: February 19, 2015, 12:47:34 PM »

Original thread for the One-Shot pistol is too old to bump and nobody is willing to model for it.

One-Shot Pistol
You don't have to make a fancy model, just reskin a default gun to white or something. It only has one bullet, and it does enough damage to instakill if it hits the head. Inaccurate at anything longer than short range due to the spread. Bodyshots do 25 damage.
Killing a bot, vehicle, or player with it will regain a bullet. If you have no bullets left, attempting to fire will instead perform a (somewhat weak) melee attack.

Forum Games / Let's Play X-COM Long War

« on: February 15, 2015, 09:28:08 PM »

Click here if you want to submit a name/soldier for use in this Let's Play.

I'm UN Official Peter Van Doorn, and I've been forcibly abducted rescued by X-COM. My life changed forever.

FLASHBACK


Soldiers Attending: Sniopeh GoodJob, handicap Convention, Highway Robbery, Wei Shen
Tank Operators: Wilson(Tank: BITCH-3), Revolver Rookie(Tank:MAGNUM-4CE)



handicap Convention: So..... These aliens are clearly superior to us in technology, and they still haven't enslaved us and forced probes up our asses?
Highway Robbery: Now is not the time for questions! We go in fast, we rescue the UN Official, and we enslave recruit him for X-COM!



Revolver Rookie: GOGOGO!
Wilson: Heavy Weapons Platforms/Tanks are all X-COM needs, do you know how many loving kills I've stolen with this godamn thing?



Sniopeh GoodJob: Do you think the aliens have Janitors where they live? Place is a mess.



Highway Robbery: GREY ALIEN SPOTTED! BLAST IT!
handicap Convention: I never learned how to shoot straight past 5 centimeters!



Sniopeh GoodJob: These rifles were obviously made by the lowest bidder! X-COM's tradition of stuffty ballistic weaponry never changes! Just like 1994, first time the aliens attacked!
handicap Convention: What the hell are you talking about now?
Highway Robbery: Both of you two, shut up. We've got grey bastards to explode!


handicap Convention: Atleast the sawn-off shotguns are decent. What idiot decided to make them have a capacity of only one round, though? Where the forget is my double barrel shotgun?



Wilson: Taking fire! Those bastards are prioritizing the HWP!


That's me, taking cover behind a car while bullets are flying and aliens are dying.



Wilson: Look at all these godamn kills I'm stealing with the Heavy Weapons Platform!



Lucky for me, the aliens were too busy shooting my saviors to even notice me.



This fateful moment is where things changed forever. The instant I stepped on the plane, I became an X-COM recruit against my will.

MEANWHILE



Sniopeh GoodJob: Sweet Jesus, these sniper rifles are seriously underpowered.



Wei Shen: You aren't shooting them in the head noob.





I was expecting to be taken to a US Army base or something, but instead I was taken to a oversized underground bunker and forced into working for a group that calls themselves X-COM. X-COM's role is to combat the alien invasion, and there is some shadowy conspiracy stuff.



This is going to be one long war against the aliens.

Yes, Peter Van Doorn actually joins X-COM if you rescue him in the Long War modification.

Suggestions & Requests / Slapping

« on: February 04, 2015, 10:47:13 PM »

Could someone make a "Slappers" weapon? All it does is just make your avatar hold out his/her hand and do the activate animation when you attack, which does weak damage and has a fair amount of knockback. Should have a slight cooldown time.

Games / Fallout 3 Evil Playthrough (Cancelled)

« on: January 29, 2015, 11:05:33 PM »

(This was originally on Community Projects, but I decided to move it here.)

What is Fallout 3?
Bethseda RPG, third game in the Fallout series. Your father has escaped Vault 101, and the insane overseer has sent his men to kill you. Naturally, you escape the insanity of Vault 101 and venture into the wasteland, searching for your father. Its a large wasteland, so you'll discover people worshipping nuclear bombs, Super Mutants, a entire cave full of little kids, slavers, aliens, war simulations, Abraham Lincoln's old rifle, and Deathclaws.


The Fallout series can be described as the future, if it was stuck in the 1950's.




The Let's Play
This is a screenshot Let's Play. No youtube videos because video editing is painful, upload times are slow, and FRAPS is terrible when it comes to file sizes.

When I want to inject out of character commentary, I'll use either blue text or the perk icon for the Mysterious Stranger.
"Certainly. What do you wish to know?" When people are talking, its like this. A picture of them accompanied by the text they speak.
This is Eli Bradford, the protagonist. The forumers wanted me to play him as an evil bastard, and I delivered.

play the game as evil as one can play it without loving up everything

Suggestions & Requests / Vuvuzela and BoomBox weapons (Sound based weaponry pack)

« on: January 23, 2015, 10:27:02 PM »

The Vuvuzela
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... (DOOM 2 Modification)
A vuvuzela. Fires for as long as you can hold down the trigger. Medium-long range, low damage.

The Boombox
Never gonna give you up.......(DOOM 2 modification)
Rickroll your enemies to death. Short to medium range. Medium-long range, low damage.

The Bandit Radio
Get out of here, STALKER.
Same thing as the Boombox, except it plays the Bandit Base Polka from S.T.A.L.K.E.R:Clear Sky. Same damage and range as the Boombox. Should probably have a different color.

Suggestions & Requests / .DTS model for One-Shot pistol

« on: January 19, 2015, 06:39:42 PM »

never really got an answer, so I just kept doing what I was doing



honestly, not sure how much I like the top? but I don't have the patience to keep doing stuff with this model
just like the last time I posted a model, here's an fbx and an obj

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d73gecvbib67s5s/gun.FBX?dl=1
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ztb64oykxo6m02q/gun.obj?dl=1

also, settings for the obj. still not sure if it's important but I might as well post it just in case
http://i.imgur.com/hP8uXng.png

alsooo I'm not totally sure if it's suitable for use in blockland right now. the trigger, hammer, and the thing that gets pulled up are all separate objects from the body. so there are like four objects in it rn. and I'm not sure if blockland likes that sorta thing or not cus I've never made a model like this for the game. and I didn't make any spots for like mounting or whatever bc I have no idea how to do that

Could someone get a .DTS model for this or something?

General Discussion / Gravity Cat's old weaponpack(Government Vs Rebels Pre-V21) and where is it now?

« on: January 11, 2015, 09:51:44 PM »

Anyone remember when Gravity Cat hosted various DMs like Government Vs Rebels before V21? Remember the weapon packs(Not his current ones, those are all raycasts) used? Large variety of well-modelled weaponry, a /ls and /tracer command(Laser sights and Tracer Rounds), firing actual projectiles, and bullet drop.

What happened to that?

Oregon Trail Deluxe is too boring, so let's play ORGAN TRAIL!



Organ Trail is basically Oregon Trail with zombies, more BS random events, and more complexity. The finale is very L4D2-ish and fun.



The soundtrack is great, also.

General Discussion / Names for fictional BL extremist groups(Shadows and Terrain related)

« on: January 10, 2015, 02:54:30 PM »

i feel like instead of jumping to an unreleased version, resort to the v20 client as it exists today

yeah it exists, people like jorgur who live in nostalgia
give us a story on how a player finds theirself in that realm of servers

traveling between old rtb channels
everlasting dedicated servers
possible ties to adventure mode

extremist groups still hell bent on shadows and shaders vs terrain and interior in a perpetual warlike state

old game mechanics ocasionally faltering
addons disappearing into stock piles

legendary weps like the ion cannon or mininuke reserved as artifacts held by single individuals/groups

myths such as renderman or the golden brick actually revealing themselves as true

that would have me hookd rofl

Anyone know of a good name for some fictional extremist groups in Blockland? Doing a forum adventure set in V20 where the player is a newbie trapped in the Bedroom, and he will eventually encounter these extremists. Possibly with an option to side with either group.

The extremist groups are:

Possible name: Landscapers? Terrain Republic? Terrain Empire? Terrain Freedom? Freedom?
"Blockland depends on terrain and interiors and stuff like that! Without them, Blockland is nothing!"

They support Terrain and Maps. To them, Blockland grew worse since V21 came. RTB is dead, Ephi is gone, they can't even use/see shaders, development time is still slow as ever, and so on.



Possible name: Ghosts, Shaders, Shadows? Shadow Duty? Duty? Badspot Republic?
"Adapt and modernize. Maps were outdated and just plain awful. This isn't 2004 anymore, this is 2015."

They support Shadows and Shaders. To them, Blockland has improved and grown a lot since Version 21. Blockland finally came on Steam, we have the Speedkart gamemode, maps were awful, and so on.

PART 1: Trapped in Version 20

Version 20. The last version of Blockland to ever have maps and terrain. When Version 21 came, the Blockheads evacuated in mass droves from their homes for reasons unknown, leaving the Version 20 world behind.



Activity slowed to a massive crawl. All thats left of the Version 20 world now is a small remnant of players, some of them old-timers that embraced the nostalgia, and others clueless newbies who ended up in the wrong version.



This is where you come in.You are a hapless newbie who just discovered Blockland, and somehow ended up in Version 20.



You have no idea what to expect from a dead, abandoned version, but you do hear of legendary weapons like the "Ion Cannon" or "Mini Nuke" being held as rare artifacts, a "Main Adventure Mode", extremist groups locked in a perpetual war on shadows+shaders vs terrain, Renderman, and a golden brick.



You connect to a dedicated server, dead and abandoned. The fact that it is still running is a mystery. You slowly learn how to (barely) play the game, and build a cry for help with the bricks that you have. You use up the rest of your resources to spawn a bike and a gun.

You look around and see that you spawned in some tight, claustrophobic space.....

Its up. The Version 27 part(And death of Blockland) will eventually be incorporated into the plot, but for now you play as a Blockhead who ended up in Version 20 by accident.

Interesting screenshots I already took

How interested would you be in if I did a forum adventure about the death of Blockland? You control a guy who buys Blockland it 50 years after it dies. The backstory goes something like this....



"Version 27. The last version of Blockland ever released.
The Blockheads decided to quit in mass droves fifty years ago. Riots broke out, bombs were dropped, and private addons were stockpiled.

Badspot, Kompressor, and Rotondo simply ceased to exist one day. Nobody knows why they left without a word, or why Badspot didn't even bother to a last 'forget you'.
Activity slowed to a massive crawl. All thats left of Blockland now is a small remnant of players, some of them old-timers, and others clueless newbies who still buy the game.

This is where you come in. You are a hapless newbie who just discovered Blockland. You have no idea what to expect from a dead, abandoned game, but you do hear of hackers running amok with something called "BLHack.Dll", and brutal, bloody wars raged by the remnants over dominance of Blockland.

You connect to a dedicated server, dead and abandoned. The fact that it is still running is a mystery. You slowly learn how to play the game, and build a cry for help with the bricks that you have. You use up the rest of your resources to spawn a bike and a gun.
