Checkboxes show the value of a variable that is either 0 or 1 through using a check in a box, and when you click it, it changes the variable. Sliders, on the other hand, will store a variable between two values and when you click the slider it modifies the variable to fit the position of the slider.

The biggest difference is that if I change the variable the slider or checkbox represents through external code, the checkbox will change but the slider won't. I think this is because the variable of the slider is stored in the GUI and for the checkbox, it's not. How do I get around this?

Help / Re: Lava damage
« on: October 06, 2012, 09:39:16 PM »
Unfortunately, the damage the water gives to a player is determined by game files and not by code in the addons. In the addon, there is a simple boolean for whether the water hurts you or not.

I would recommend using zone events to simulate lava. So long as you set the zone big enough to cover the map, you can use onInZone events to do whatever you want to the player while they're in the water. Note that the surface of the water will be invisible with zones and you'll have to use bricks to replicate it.

Remove the useless namecheck.txt
Well stuff, how?

Also the add-on has been banned
Why? I doubt that name has been used before

Help / Corrupted ZIP files and Blockland failing to look inside them
« on: September 08, 2012, 06:16:49 PM »
After porting a skybox from my favorite map, the ZIP file got corrupted as my computer just LOVES to do to all zip files I manage with Windows Explorer. God damnit, I forgot to put namecheck.txt and description.txt in using 7Zip. Anyways, most of the time my computer does this I just hide the ZIP and create another one with a different name to make up for it. But for Blockland it seems to be different, in that it looks at the addon and crashes due to a failure to open it up.

The console says this when the addon tries to get loaded:
Code: [Select]
Add-On is in the list of known bad add-on CRCs - will not execute
When I say a ZIP file is corrupted, this is what I mean:

Since the "not really im just bad at them :(((" was in white text, Baddy probably hit the ban button before seeing it. Fact of the matter is, the first part alone is the only thing seen with the naked eye. He was being dismissive to the topic, the rule that falls under "don't care, don't post."

General Discussion / Re: Blockland on Steam Greenlight?

ugh, so many people complaining about nonexistant problems
I wasn't saying they are problems, I'm saying that Steam players would probably notice them, making the game seem worse, making them not want to play, and if this happens enough, giving Blockland a bad reputation.

Some things that haven't been mentioned yet.

Return to Blockland is pretty much an essential addon for Blockland. There are absolutely NO Steam games that require you to look inside the game's data folder in order to get (practically) as good of an experience as everyone else to play the game. If Blockland got uploaded to Steam, I'd assume the player count would increase a lot. All the new players would think RTB is some complicated stuff that old players just boast about that people don't bother looking into. Steam players are very picky; Everything that comes with the game must be contained within its own interface.
It would take a lot of work for Baddy and/or Kompressor to "implement" the one feeding source of the community into the game. There's a lot of complications, too, since all of the features in the RTB Overlay would have to be included somewhere else. People don't want to have two different overlays, one for Steam and one for the game itself.

Another problem: Blockland is very quirky. It has many issues and silly things attributed to it that most people pawn off since they've been here for so long that people become oblivious to them. The entire minigame feature would have to be removed, and replaced by SERVER SETTINGS for what players could do and how the gamemode works. Currently, minigames are all just default and you never, ever see more than one non-default minigame crop up at a freebuild server for example. Most of the time that happens, it's just a newbie messing around or people are bored.
There's other things you could attribute, but I wanted to get the minigames thing off my chest. The server creation GUI looks unlike every other GUI at the moment. The colorset editor is only found in the player avatar screen, and doesn't serve to change the colorset used for bricks. Lastly, the physics engine isn't perfect, the best example of this being in ramps(there's so many things wrong, just look at it yourself).

Having a small community eliminates these problems as being a 'big deal,' because anyone willing to play the game gets used to these issues as they learn the ropes of playing Blockland.


TL;DR The game currently has too many issues to be presented to a very large community.

he makes $9, garagegames makes $11
PayPal takes some of that money aswell, so more realistically Baddy makes $7.
