Games / Vertex dispenser

« on: June 22, 2011, 05:25:13 PM »

Vertex Dispenser is a fast-paced abstract strategy game with mathematical puzzle elements. Wrestle for control of territory on bizarre geometric worlds. Carefully plan your conquests to maximise the colours of your vertices, capture solid faces to defend them, then eradicate your enemies with a variety of special attacks.
(copied from website)

http://www.vertexdispenser.com/

This game is rather fun, and I was hoping someone could host. I don't know how hosting works, I haven't even clicked on multiplayer.

What you do is you create solid triangles by connecting vertices. I guess, on multiplayer, you do other things, but I don't know. either way, I just wanted to share this with you all. There is a tutorial like campaign, I haven't tried the second campaign yet, because I am stuck on the one where you set vertices to all seven colors.

There are seven sets of powers (14 total) in which are different colors. to unlock these powers you must set up a pattern of different colored vertices to make a different color. if you set up a green colored one, the two green powers either unlock or recharge a bit faster. If you have two greens it will recharge a little faster, and on to three, ect. These powers include roaming mines, a defensive building, a bomb you control, and many more.

Discuss if you have this game, or set up servers, or something.

Games / Bloody Good Time

« on: June 08, 2011, 11:59:12 PM »

This is a game I am to be getting soon, maybe next week, dunno when, though. Anyways, I just decided to make a topic. This game is basically a Death Match, but instead of war, or whatever, you are fighting for a spot in a movie or something. It is for steam, with 12 achievments.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/2450/ it's 5 dollars, by the way.

Ripped off of the steam page:

* Be a deceitful bastard! Flush your enemies in the toilet, crash their heads on their plates when they eat, do whatever it takes to maim and kill other competitors in nasty and unexpected ways!
* Use a full arsenal of wacky weapons including guns, a baseball bat, a frying pan, and even an exploding remote-controlled rat to transform the movie set into real mayhem!
* Clash with up to 8 players online in a zany, first-person shooter, multiplayer experience like no other.
* Choose from a variety of stereotypical B- movie characters, including the bikini beach babe, the stoner, the creepy clown and the super jock.
From Spring Break Beach to the Horror House to the Vegas Hotel, discover what’s behind the Hollywood set in these unique multiplayer maps.
* Developed by Outerlight, best known for their work on The Ship and the Half-Life mod of the Ship. This Scottish-based developer brings a great combination of humor and quality game play to Bloody Good Time.
* Running on the Valve’s Source engine, Bloody Good Time comes from the same pedigree of classic, online multiplayer shooters such as Half-Life, Team Fortress and Counter-Strike.

Games / The Blockland Steam Group Needs Administrators Or Hosters!

« on: June 07, 2011, 07:16:19 PM »

I just viewed the Blocklanders Steam group, and I thought there should be a whole new one that the owners or Administrators should post events or be more active.

So, I made my own Blockland group, of which will contain however many admin it takes to make just enough events to not upset our members. The only thing needed now is two admin to start the group off.

If you are trustworthy, moderatley active, and I think that you would be a good admin, you may PM me your steam info, and we will chat via Steam. If you meet the standards, I will put you as Admin. For now, this group is inactive and not public, until I get some Admin.

For now, this topic is about me getting Admin. Later, this topic will contain group news; Admin, Hoster, and Helper list or news; when the Hosters are hosting; Blockland-related Servers; and polls on what to do next.

People:

-cooldawson3-
Status: Admin; Owner

-Unwritten Calender-
Status: Admin; Temp Hoster

Administrators are the ones who control the groups posting and chat, soon to be upgraded to member control also, but for now, they report new members to me, unless a lot come, then they don't have to.

Hosters are the ones with a moderate-excellent internet speed. They can host servers for the rest of the group to play on.

Helpers are the ones that give Admins news, ideas, or other info that they missed.

Also, congrats to the first one to find the group, you just found something very easy to find! I think I might have missed some info in this post, not sure, though.

I currently have 2/3 Admin. PM me Steam info for chance to be either an Admin, Hoster, or Helper.

Gallery / Creep-fest: 2 Creeper Mod builds (so far) (number 2 in testing) (offline)

« on: May 14, 2011, 01:59:50 PM »

Creep-fest
Creep-fest (or C-f, for short) is a grouping of 1 build, plus others that are soon to come, that will be very SIMPLE, and will feature the Creeper Mod (Credit to Mr. Wallet, whom I believe is the creator of this mod). The builds will all be made by either me, my brother, or my brother and I together.

Build info/list

Currently, there is 1 build, but I will make more. They are to be simple, or not very complex.
Hall of the Ooze
The Hall of the Ooze, currently, has two floors, and it will remain that way, because it is hard enough as it is. The floors contain color codes, starting at Blue, then to Green, on to Yellow, Red, then finishing at Black, where most will meet their doom.

Pictures

More creeper attacks.

Games / minecraft livestream test [nope.] Locked, won't work with minecraft for me.

« on: April 07, 2011, 08:51:28 PM »

Ok, I am making a livestream of minecraft. I need to know if it lags, because this is a test. My friends don't know what Minecraft is, and I wanted to show them. I don't think I have mods... I will delete beforehand, if so. It might, due to internet connection out here. ):


I beleive it will be set up in about a minute or two, so here is the link, if I got it right:

OFFLINE, can't do it.
(note: if it says OFFLINE, I might have just set it up, so try again in a minute or two.

Games / Steam Gifting Megathread (not sure if we had one)

« on: April 04, 2011, 08:23:09 PM »

I am not sure if we ever had a Steam gifting Megathread before, and when I searched, I found a lot of seperate "I'm gifting this for free" threads. So I made my own Megathread.


How?

If I remember correctly, you select the game, checkout, and eventually it will ask something about gift or for yourself, and then, if it's a gift, you type in Email address or Steam name. I believe.

If we ever had one, it is dead by now.

It would be kind if I was to, oh let's say randomly recieve a gift of Half Life 2 from some very generous person somewhere on another part of the world. I will try to gift something of equal cost to the gifter, but it may be a while before I can.

Now start gifting.

Oh yeah, duh, my steam is cooldawson

Games / cooldawson3's minecraft adventure!

« on: February 09, 2011, 09:33:26 PM »

I know we have a 2000+ page (I think?) topic devoted to Minecraft, but this would be lost in the pages easily.

Description
This is going to be a series of youtube videos on me and my other guests' (you guys) adventures on Minecraft. You will have two episodes to be in, and you must PM me for access to the server. I have no mods, just the normal Minecraft world. I will try to measure the episodes by your behavior. Max is at most 9 or 10 minutes. The shortest is at least 3 or 4 minutes. The max amount of guests allowed is three. Least is (of course) 1.  Unfortunatly, the video will have a small watermark, for now. I am going to register as soon as I can. The video may be up as soon as I can get it up. I will pick out of a hat. My main inspiration is Orthone, so credit to him, I will link his videos in my videos' descriptions. I'll PM my skype (same with you) and we can talk through there while playing. No OP help will be used.

Requirments
Skype, and a decent computer, for I don't have the best of internet connection. A mic, not a webcam, for that won't be needed. A little experience, I don't want to be your personal trainer. Oh, and a convincing PM. Voices won't matter, because I feel bad for the ones who would be "out of standards". ):

Waiting to be picked

I think I got everything...

Modification Help / Coloring

« on: November 30, 2010, 07:19:38 PM »

I have a model, It isn't ALL ready (obviously). It's an item, not a weapon. Here's what I need to know:

1. How to color with blender? Like, I looked though other Add-Ons, and they have red.png and so on. What do I need? I need a color brown. Do I...
A: make the color in blender, then make a file with the colors used?
B: make the coloring in a script, having nothing to do with the model? or...
C: I'll post it.

2. What do I need in the model? Like, detail wise? Mount points? bones named mount points? What?

Any help will be appreciated.

Gallery / Square Siege (needs a new name)

« on: November 26, 2010, 12:34:40 PM »

Square Siege
I need a new name for it. "square siege"? Really?
Anyways, I haven't built anything for quite some time now, so I decided to make something up.

THIS... IS... SQUARE SIEGE

Description/Story

It all began when the blue team (attackers) were traveling in their square world, when they heard talking from the other side of a thin wall that blocks them from making a complete circle around the square. They had never heard it before, and were, at first, curious. They decided to travel a ways. When they- oh i'll just skip to the point. They got furious at the red team (defenders) for being red. They hate red. Thus making them set up a camp and fight to the death. And fight to the death again. And repeat until someone wins.
Objectives
Red: The red team has to hold off the blue team for an amount of time. The time will be determined by the Super Admin or host.
Blue: This team has to take control over all the bases, one at every corner, and be victorious.
Progress
(Not too good yet, but it is getting better.)

Boundaries: 95%
Attackers' Base: 40%
Defenders' Main Base: 90%
Defenders' Secondary Bases: 66%
Terrain: 0%
Attackers' Spawn Room: 70%
Defenders' Spawn Room: 100%

Guessed Total: 71%
Pictures
(huge)

Main Layout

Main Defense Base So far

Spectators' Cameras

Class picker, more on that at the bottom.

Square-ness of it is shown in this picture.

*NEW! Red flag. Blue flag is the same, but with blue.

Class Picker
The class picker is a tool I use so that it's easier, in my opinion, to choose what to be.
The D stands for Defence, O stands for Offense, S stands for Support or Special.
The ? stands for "what is this?". When you click on it, or activate it, it tells you what this class is, and what weapons/tools it has.

Credits
me: Main Base; idea; Spawn rooms
Whoever made Tier+Tactical: Weapons
Whoever made duplication wand: Duplication wand for the class picker

If I missed anything in this post, tell me. I will give credit to person who makes up a name, and anyone who resizes these huge pictures. Suggestions are encouraged, and will be given credit. Constructive criticism will be credited. (no ratings yet, almost close enough to being done.)

Updates
v. 0.5 all the way to v. 1

• Finished two secondary defense bases.
• Applied flags, Captures, and doors.
• Made all walls to Attackers' base
• Worked out all events needed so far.

Help / Capture bases help.

« on: November 25, 2010, 06:38:29 PM »

I have an idea for a build going to be made by me and my brother, which consists of four capture defense bases and one attack base. I have it ALL planned out, but with two flaws that need fixing. I am going to have it where the attacker have to take over the other four bases and they win. My questions/flaws are:

1. How would I make it to where if an attacker captures a base, the base will set the spawns to team 1 spawns, instead of team 2 spawns?

2. How would I make it that when the attackers take over all the bases, they win?

My last thing is...

3. Any good tips on a base?

My blockhead avatar would be a happy one if he gets to "play" shoot 'em up kind of play in this build.

(If my brother agrees, and it is of moderate quality, I will post the save.)
