Suggestions & Requests / Brick Name Nuke

« on: June 07, 2010, 01:54:53 PM »

Basically a combination between the Swiss Army Gun's nuke feature (destroys all brick attached to the brick fired at) and the name gun (names a brick fired at) in order to name all bricks connected to the brick fired at.

Gallery / Legit Guitar Hero Machine

« on: June 05, 2010, 09:37:23 PM »

Originally for Kinex's Blockcity, this Guitar Hero game includes:

5 Notes, colored and onPlayerTouch activated,

4 Difficulties, Easy, Medium, Hard, and Intense-
-Easy- Uses Green, Red, and Yellow notes
-Medium- Adds Blue notes
-Hard- Adds Orange notes
-Intense- Increased speed with all notes,

Fail meter that kicks the player out of the game if 3 notes were missed consecutively,

and a "Last Scores" board for each difficulty.

Size: 32x64

Operation:
Start a mini-game and use player spawn points, Since this was originally created on a different map the build will be floating.
Click the [?] and [!] buttons for information, and [1] [2] [3] [4] to start a game on any difficulty (1= easy, 2= medium, 3= hard, 4= intense)

Game duration: 20 notes

Sorry but the only sound is the sound of you getting a point for better gameplay accuracy. Add your own music.







HOW TO EDIT
Inside the machine (under the score board) there are 4 small greyscale plates with numbers on them, these signify the difficulty of the brick below. Wrench the brick below to see the relays fired to the note bricks (colored) with delays. Here you may change the delays of the notes occurrence or amount of notes.
(Again, 1=easy, 2=medium, 3=hard, and 4=intense)

Rock on. \m/ (>_<) \m/

Add-Ons / 2nd Octave revival + Midi Sequencer build

« on: May 23, 2010, 01:22:04 PM »

Hitting 2 birds with one stone, making it easier for people to get the 2nd octave, and giving you a midi sequencer to use it.

Midi Sequencer requires:
Event_SetEventDelay-http://www.mediafire.com/file/omy5nwno5ki/Event_SetEventDelay.zip
Sound_Synth4_12to24-http://www.mediafire.com/file/u2ywztjcmjb/Sound_Synth4_12to24.zip
Music Creator (Blockland Slate save)-http://www.mediafire.com/file/jzyfmgtmzoa/Music%20Creator.bls



Note that the only thing I personally created out of these was the Music Creator BL save.
Credit for SetEventDelay goes to: Truce
Credit for Synth4_12to24 goes to: Zor

I made this awhile ago.

Linked a simple midi sequencer to the stage for the music. "Raining Blood" was the 1st song used.


Added several lights and emitters to fire off when certain notes were played to emphasize the music.


Depending on your responses I might improve the stage with better emitters and new songs, might release the build.

Creativity / Kickapoo by Tenacious D... mixed!

« on: April 11, 2010, 02:23:34 AM »

So while I was on Wicked's City rpg my friend was having trouble building and I offered to teach him... reminded me of a line in kickapoo so I decided to mix it up a bit so it went along with blockland!

Blockapoo...?

A long ass loving time ago in a town called Platinum
There lived a humble noooob oooh spam, he built some
But yee he was just hopeless and did not know what to do
His name was young Secret and he tried to learn his lines
A vision he did see as loving, building all the time
He built this tasty store and all the planets did align

Oh the bell was blazin'
As I stepped in through the door.
Then I bought a  juicy burger,
With a credit card I'm sure!
'Twas I who earned the money,
monalizzing monaloo!
And if you try to kill me,
Then I shall kill you too!
Gotta go to the bank and get a loan!
I gots to pay my mortgage for my home!
Gotta buy some lights for my home!
Gotta get a door so I'll be left alone!

You've haven't learned a thing my son,
Why were you ever born?
Your brother's ten times better than you,
You spam waaay more.
That spam you place before us
Comes from the depths of hell.
Spammin is the devil's work,
He wants you to rebel.
You'll become a mindless puppet;
Beelzebub will pull the strings!
Your heart will lose direction,
And chaos it will bring.
You'd better shut your mouth,
You better watch your tone!
You're grounded for a week with no public chat!
Don't wanna hear you cry,
Don't wanna hear you moan!
You gotta praise The Host when you're in this serv!

J_M can you hear me?
I am lost and so alone...
I'm askin' for your guidance,
Won't ya come down from your throne?
I need a tight compadre
Who will teach me how to build.
The host thinks you're evil,
But man, he can just be killed.
Building is not the devil's work,
It's magical and rad.
I'll never spam as long as I am
Stuck here with this host...

I hear you brave young Secret,
You are hungry for the build.
But to become my apprentice,
Sacred doors you must unlock.
Escape your host's clutches,
And this oppressive seeerver.
On a journey you must go,
To find the land of Lavaa villeeeeeeee!
In The City of Fallen Ashes,
Where the ocean meets the lots,
You will form a strong alliance,
And the world's most awesome bots!
To find your fame and fortune,
It's the spam you must kill.
You will face your inner demons.
Now go my son and Build!

So he bailed from loving platinum
With hunger in his heart.
And he journeyed far and wide
To find the secrets of his art.
But in the end he knew
That he would find his counterpart.

Buiiilllldddddss
BuuIiIIIIIIIILLLLDDDSS
BuuIIIiiiIiiIiiiiIiiIIiiiILLd ddsss!


I know some parts aren't perfect but hey, I tried.

Drama / The word "Noob"...

« on: December 12, 2009, 08:07:47 PM »

Everyone has gone through being called a noob, whether you be young, old, lack in skill, or are the best in the game, it has happened to you. And it seems no matter what you do, some people feel like they can call you this. But it's fine right? It means "newbie" doesn't it?

Wrong.

Several days ago I was on a friend's server, he had just made a city RP and i decided to help him with it. I was building for several hours, making designs, deleteing them, making something else. A few people join the server, they start to converse with us, and the conversations tension escelates...
     "This build is pathetic, you're such a noob" "What is wrong with it?" "It's stupid" "Well that's your opinion" "no it's because you're a noob"
Now what was the point of that? Some person apparently didn't like my build and decided to call me a noob for it (Note that the actual quality of this build makes no differance in this situation). So he continued to call me a noob, my friend tried to defend me, and I discouraged it, unfortunatly the conversations tension grew...
     It ended in my friend getting mad, and kicking the person that called me a noob, now I am against this, which is why I discouraged his decision to get involved.

The word "noob" has evolved from from newbie, it's grown onto the meaning, developed, grown harsher and more severe. The word "noob" no longer means "newbie"... It means you suck. People can say this over and over giving the reason that it means that you are just a newbie, don't buy it. When people call someone something that is offensive, the person that had been called a noob feels frustrated, and they lash out at the person that called them noob, now this can just turn into a fight, and another group of people hating each other. When they feel like they are being attacked, they want to feel better than that person, and by doing this they attack other people.

As you can see, there's a chain reaction that causes a loop of hate. When these people try to feel better than each other and time passes, the superiority complex comes into play. (Read "The superiority complex...")

Post opinions on the subject, support appreciated.
Thank you for reading.

Drama / The superiority complex...

« on: December 12, 2009, 07:38:24 PM »

Diggy (and many other hosts/low ID's) feel like they are better than everyone, either because they got the game earlier, or because they can actually host a server... what the hell?

Sure these people could aquire certain skills like scripting, or add-on making etc. but so can everyone else, the only differance is that the other people don't have the same opportunities that these hosts/low ID's have.

The perfect example, I'm sure you all know him, Diggy. The host of a Metropolis City RP.
So I go into his server, in the wee hours of the morning, go about my own buisness of typing /help and getting familiar with the commands. I notice that I had been on his server previously and had a criminal record, which I needed to clear. For the next few hours I worked my way up to 1k by mining, running back and forth from the mine to the bank, unfortunatly there was a low ID there that felt he could do anything he wanted and continuously killed me everytime I went back to the bank. After I finally got my 1k I made my way back to the bank (after peering around every corner) and walked up to the teller machine. Withdrawing my 1k and in the middle of typing /reset I was killed by the low ID AGAIN, so I left the server for the evening.
     Several hours later I came back and earned my 1k, reset my account, and became a doctor. Once I spawned I instantly noticed that I was outside... where was the hospital? I curiously ask someone on the server if there was a hospital to spawn to or a hospital that was under construction, and they replied "no". Of course all the lots were taken and I noticed a small plot of land with just a tiny pond in it, owned by Diggy. Now when a job doesn't have a building to spawn in, and it's spawn is just thrown out into the street, shouldn't a building be made to have a spawn for an important job?
     So I ask Diggy if I PURCHASE the lot or any other in the general area, and get no response. I ask again, and still no response. So I give up, walk around a bit, and decide to up my EXP. There have been fires around the city and my friend joined, so I ask the server if you get EXP for healing people as a doctor, but  even from the entire server, no response. I decide to try it anyway, my friend walks over to the fire, and takes damage, so I heal him. After 10min or so pass, I lose hope, and decide to ask the host since earlier I was ignored by the rest of the server.
     Now this is the 2nd question I asked Diggy, I asked him if the doctor got exp from healing people. Diggy answers my question and FREAKS OUT, saying he hates people like me that ask questions all the time just for the heck of it... WHAT!? I asked 2 questions! What the hell is wrong with this guy!? So he continues to insult me and I call him a "lazy host", what kind of host doesn't take care of the people that joint thair server to play their mod? A LAZY ONE. Of course I explain this and give my reason, and get kicked from his server.

I know you're thinking "Wow he wrote all this because he got kicked from a server? Haha what a loser!"
And if you thought that, you're wrong.
I may have a higher ID (13k) but I've been playing BlockLand for over 3 years. I'm sick of dealing with people that think they are better than everyone else, no matter what you do, or who you are, you are just as good as everyone else, and everyone deserves the same respect.

Another thing I've been seeing a serious problem with hosts, is that when someone asks a question, they get mad and kick them because they think it's a "nooby question". Everyone starts somewhere. I'm sure Diggy and all of the other low ID's had NO CLUE what they were doing.

I'm not saying there are some people that get frustrating, but the only reason they are like that, is because they have had to ask people over and over, get the same stuffty response and kick, read sketchy tutorials all the time, and go back to the server to get called a noob.

They do NOT deserve this treatment.

This thread isn't about Diggy
This thread isn't about people with low ID's
This thread isn't about hosts
This thread isn't about BlockLand.

This thread is about the corruption of mankind, in the sense that one must always be better than the other
This is the reason for hate
This is the reason for racism
This is the reason for war
This is the reason for the slowening advancement of the human race.

If you would like to stand against this increasing corruption, please post here.

Thank you for reading and I would appreciate your support.

General Discussion / New to Blockland forums...or am I?

« on: November 19, 2009, 09:31:29 PM »

This is just a shout out to everyone on the forums, or people that I might run into every once in awhile. I finally decided to make an account after having the game for 2 years and I have a few questions.

1.Why doesn't someone make a variable system that uses multiple variables on the same brick? This could enable us to create many new things! (Such as my Monopoly WIP)

2.Does ANYONE read the welcome messages? I've  noticed people asking questions the welcome message answers a myriad of times over the past few years.

3.What is up with boxy builds? Boxy builds are boring, yea it's easy, but why make something square when you could make it circular? Or like some poly-gon? Or maybe even like some AWESOME-gon?

4.Question to the people that make scale models of items: Do you restrict yourself to only items from blockland? Or do you venture out and recreate things around other games?

And my final question...
5.Has anyone here made their own house on Blockland?
