Suggestions & Requests / What mod should I work on?

« on: May 24, 2018, 01:28:43 PM »

I have a lot of mods that need work but limited time this summer, so I'm letting the community decide what they want me to work on.

BLS2BLB - Converts small saves into bricks, like props. Haven't started it yet, but it's possible to do.
CRP2 - An advanced CityRPG gamemode, my longest developed mod
Pixel Events - A set of events that allows bricks to have dynamic screens and displays
Brick Tessellation - Adding tessellation to special bricks

Brick Tessellation (v2.1)
Bumpy Bricks!

Description

DISCLAIMERS
1) This mod will cause a drastic increase in Vram usage. If you have tessellation turned on and too many bricks loaded, you or clients on your server might crash
2) For changes to take effect, you must restart your server. Blame Badspot for restricting fxDtsBrickData.brickFile.

22 Preferences:

• Disabled: Brick tessellation is disabled on all bricks
• Normal: Brick tessellation is only enabled on regular bricks
• Special: Brick tessellation is enabled on special bricks without collision models

Top Mode, Side Mode, Bottom Mode

• Flat: This side of the brick will be flat-shaded and untextured
• Specular: This side of the brick will be flat-shaded bit will have specular highlights
• Textured: How bricks are usually rendered
• Tessellated: Bricks are flat-shaded tessellated with no specular highlights or brick textures
• Tessellated/Specular: Tessellated with specular highlights but ignores textures
• Tessellated/Textured: Bricks are both tessellated and textured with specular highlights

Depth

• How far the tessellation sticks out from the brick

Inset

• How far from the sides of the brick that it ramps in

Recolor 1-4

• Recommended to make untextured tessellated bricks stick out in shadows

General Discussion / Favorite CityRPG's and why

« on: May 02, 2018, 08:26:43 PM »

What was your favorite CityRP server, host, mod, or city and why was it your favorite? What did they do better than the other servers?
If you have never played a CityRPG and/or don't plan on it, great job! Here's a cookie, congrats! 

I've heard Iban's CityRPG v3 was pretty good but I never got a chance to play it. I'd like to hear more about it.
My favorite CityRPG was Wentworth/Diggy's from 2009-2011 just because of how chaotic it was and how challenging it was to get money or move up in your career. The cities were also well-built with a variety in terrain/roads and great builds overall. It was rebooted in 2014 but was mostly dead because of most of the original playerbase leaving.

It's amazing how calm the pilot is throughout all of this.
Pilot: "Thanks, we are gonna stop right here by the fire trucks. Thanks guys for your help."

Gallery / I accidentally a new art style

« on: April 20, 2018, 12:17:17 AM »

I'm working on brick tessellation 2.0 and I decided to set everything to the extreme to see if it had any effect on Vram.
No effect on Vram, but it does have an interesting look to it.

Off Topic / I'm in a moral dilemma

« on: March 31, 2018, 11:37:42 PM »

So I recently bought 3 GTX 1080 Ti's on ebay from 3 different sellers for slightly above MSRP... 2 for my gaming PC, and 1 for my encoding server.
But today, a 4th one arrived, and sure enough, on ebay I get a message from one of the sellers that they accidentally shipped me the same card twice...

As far as I know there's nothing Ebay can do about it, and I'm also pretty sure the seller was a miner as they were selling like 3 other models of high-end GPU's.

One one hand, forget cryptocurrency miners, and how do you "ACCIDENTALLY" ship the same item, to the same address, on 2 different days
On the other hand, that would really suck if it were me, and he has my address and my name... but he lives halfway across the country.

UPDATE: I have sent the seller an additional $200. This is the optimal solution for me as I am not completely loving him and if I feel remorse in the future I can just send him more money

Modification Help / Detect if window is active

« on: November 09, 2017, 01:54:57 AM »

How would I detect if the Blockland window is active and the user doesn't have the window minimized? I'm making a mod that adjusts the shader quality depending on the framerate and don't want the user clicking off the window to drop the shaders to 0.

General Discussion / Servers you thought were short-lived

« on: November 09, 2017, 12:41:14 AM »

What was your favorite server that just ended too soon?

Personally my favorite server was Evert's serious build and Evert's not-so-serious build from back in 2009. It was a freebuild (yes, I know) with some amazing builds on it and I thing if it had stuck around for longer than it had could of collected a lot more builds. I've wanted to see what would happen to a free-build after more than a few months of staying online.

Seems like not having laws requiring people to wear seat belts would be a REALLY great exercise of natural selection.
