Development / Re: 2013/10/03 - Steam Status

« on: October 03, 2013, 10:45:13 PM »

Gonna have to redirect config to mydocuments or something.

Why don't you use %APPDATA% for storing everything? That's what it's for. It's strange having games in your "Documents" folder.

Will there be a way for pre-steam users to get the steam version without having to buy it again?

He basically said yes in the OP. He also said it in the FAQ.

you should use $sim::time because it's in seconds while getsimtime() is in milliseconds

Yes, exactly.

Then you probably got a virus that is blocking blockland

That sounds like BS to me.

OP, please try deleting your latestManifest and cache files.

It could be that the Surface drivers are not compatible.

you shouldn't use $Sim::Time because if the server is up for a long time the numbers will be so large it will cause glitches

Wouldn't it be the other way around?

$Sim::Time returns a floating point while getSimTime() returns an integer, so wouldn't $Sim::Time be better for longer times?

General Discussion / Re: How to attract people to my server?

« on: October 02, 2013, 11:04:02 PM »

Exactly, people join popular servers so much that they barely check new ones.

Guys, how do you think those "popular servers" get popular? The same way any other server can: they attract players. It's not as if they start out with 32 players.

there's like no way to attract people to your server anymore because all of the players are on the most popular servers.

Boulder dash was popular for one day and then they all went back to family rp

sorry to burst your bubble bud

How do you think servers become popular? They attract players. I can attract a full server with an hour. You must be doing something wrong.

Help / Re: my blockland closes by itself

« on: October 01, 2013, 09:00:39 PM »

No clue what this means, but posting this here so some coder can get easy access to it.

That has nothing to do with this.

OP, please rename your Add-Ons folder to "Add-Ons OLD" and then try again. This will cause all non-default add-ons to be removed.

Use the onCPCapture events (and VCE, optionally) and some logic.

General Discussion / Re: How hard would it be for Baddie to implement in-game scripting?

« on: October 01, 2013, 05:41:40 PM »

one line of eval could mean your server's capture
if someone was given this for even a fraction of a second, they could potentially hack your server.

You do not ever give anyone other than the host eval access
No matter how much you try, you can't fully secure eval.

you might as well write a parser and another language

Did you read what I posted?

Why should it be? If you take basic steps to secure it, such as making it host-only and perhaps creating a small blacklist to prevent file deletion, I would think it'd be fine.

Thank you so much. The websockets will be very useful for a remote control mod.
