Modification Help / Detect if player is in liquid, and ALSO get the liquid object
« on: February 09, 2015, 01:07:27 AM »
I need to do this as I'm assigning variables to different water bricks, and have the player be affected depending on those variables.
I've gotten this close, but it only seems to work on one half of the brick.
(this is on a static 4x4 grid (8x cubes))
I've been at this for hours now and I'm tearing out my hair over this.
It'd be nice if y'know, the onEnter/LeaveLiquid would actually return the object, but nah, of course it doesn't.
EDIT: sorry for the formatting, PHP got habitual

Modification Help / Sending additional POST variables through postServerTCPObj
« on: October 14, 2014, 05:00:59 AM »
I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Using trinick's script, and echoing out %this.cmd (with my added false Uptime variable), this is what shows up.
I assume this is not working right (nginx reports no such Uptime, ver, and build index (the hell happened to csg)) because of the Content-Length, I'm assuming. If I'm right, it's supposed to be 181 with the added variable, and 163 without.
Is there a better way to do this, or do I just need to outright make my own method of posting to my master server?
I ask this because I can't seem to figure out what Blockland is doing to remove dead servers from the main master list. My workaround idea was to send the uptime of each server everytime it posted using the default function, and have a script on the server check for duplicate uptimes via cron every so often (e.g. 10 minutes, since it posts every 5*timescale).
I'm also wanting to make a separate master server for my friends and I. We're all still paranoid of being DDoS'd and I've been told it still happens from other active users I keep in touch with. It works, except for this and names, which according to trinick, you need to tap into the auth server to do, and I'd rather stay far the hell away.
Someone's gonna ask, there's your answer.

Add-Ons / Support_Preferences :: Development ceased until further notice
« on: May 07, 2014, 11:55:34 PM »
Probably doesn't need much of an introduction. :P
| Branch | Download |
| Stable | N/A |
| Unstable | http://parrokeet.duckdns.org/blockland/repo/Support_Preferences/unstable/Support_Preferences.zip |
API FUNCTIONS
registerPref(%category,%name,%type,%variable,%default_value,%hide,%callback,%arguments);
| %category | Defines in what list this pref shows up in, e.g. "General", "Admins", etc. It will appear in the list on the left. |
| %name | Defines what the player will see beside inputs, e.g. "Admin Password", "Falling Damage", etc. |
| %type | Defines what type the variable is. See below for the list of types. |
| %variable | The affected variable. |
| %default_value | The default value if nothing is set for the variable. |
| %hide | If 0, update messages are allowed. If 1, they're always hidden. Useful for passwords. |
| %callback | Command to call when the variable updates. |
| %arguments | Arguments for the called command. |
TYPES
- num [min] [max]
- A number type. [min] is the lowest allowed amount, [max] is the highest.
- registerPref("Samples","Sample Number Pref","num 0 100000","$NumberTest",24,0);
- bool
- True or false. 0 is false, 1 is true.
- registerPref("Samples","Sample Bool Pref","bool","$BoolTest",1,0);
- string [max characters]
- A string type. [max characters] is the maximum allowed length of the string.
- registerPref("Samples","Sample String Pref","string 255","$StringTest","TBP was here :O",0);
- list TAB [value] [name in list] TAB [value 2] [name in list 2] TAB [value 3] [name in list 3]...
- A dropdown list type. More than 2 types can be defined.
- registerPref("Samples","Sample List Pref","list" TAB "1 Lowest value" TAB "2 A bit higher..." TAB "74 stupidly high cya","$ListTest",2,0);
CALLBACKS
Using callbacks is extremely simple and straightforward.In this example, we'll create a sample pref and use messageAll as the callback.
- registerPref("Samples","Sample String w/ Callback","string 255","$CallbackTest","",0,"messageAll","\'MsgAdminForce\',$CallbackTest");
After the %hide variable (0), you see "messageAll","\'MsgAdminForce\',$CallbackTest".
"messageAll" is the called command, and "\'MsgAdminForce\',$CallbackTest" are the arguments sent to it. $CallbackTest is what we entered when changing the variable, \'MsgAdminForce\' simply plays a sound.
Upon changing the sample pref, messageAll('MsgAdminForce',$CallbackTest); is called.
Todo:
added in v0.6.0-dev-5
"stable" in v0.6.0-dev-8
Quote
added in v0.7.0-dev-2Port: needs callbacks
»TheBlackParrot«: callbacks as in
Port: being able to specify a function to call when the pref is changed
"stable" in v0.7.0-dev-5 *updated API
added in v0.7.0-dev-2
"stable" in v0.7.0-dev-5 *updated API
- Slider type
KNOWN ISSUES:
- "Use RTB" shows up in the Start Game menu after first use, even with those that do not have RTB. (I'm assuming this check in BL's code may be dropped sooner or later, so I'm contemplating even doing anything about it)
KNOWN ISSUES I CANNOT FIX:
Duplorcator only shows it's prefs on the 1st created server. Because of the way it's coded, there is nothing I can do about this.
It sets $Duplorcator::PrefsLoaded to true upon the first created server, and it never sets the variable back to false upon the server closing.
One way you could work around it is by going into the bottom of server.cs in Tool_Duplorcator.zip, and add the following above line 1252 (it's a line with only };)
[/list]
Code: [Select]
function onServerDestroyed()
{
$Duplorcator::PrefsLoaded = 0;
parent::onServerDestroyed();
}
forget [/list]

Game Modes / Qbe :: Development ceased until further notice
« on: May 04, 2014, 10:27:18 PM »
The goal in this gamemode is to gain and maintain the highest amount of points within 4 minutes
To gain points, you mine blocks from the cube in the center of the arena. Players start around the cube on the grey spawn blocks.
After everyone ghosts, players gain a "Qbe Hammer" to mine blocks, a gun, and a sword.
Players can steal points by killing other players. 1/5 of the victim's points goes to the killer, and they must wait 15 seconds to respawn.
The idea behind this spurred from people killing others in Mining gamemodes. Victims generally got pissed off at their attackers, and I wanted to make something where everyone could do that, with it being the point behind the gamemode.

Off Topic / I'm out of ideas on what to host on my server
« on: May 01, 2014, 01:24:10 AM »
Isn't BL related
EDIT: let me make this bigger:
Isn't BL related.
I'm a bit bummed out that I bought a VPS to host some stuff on, but no one's interested in anything I'm hosting/have hosted.
There's an IRC server running on it, but it's hardly ever used. My IRCBridge addon is p much the only thing using it.
There's a Mumble server running, but I think everyone uses Teamspeak or Skype so it's just kinda there. Switched to Teamspeak
A video game music stream runs on it 24/7. No one listens to it.
I had an electronic music stream running, but there was absolutely 0 interest in it so I just took it down as it was wasting resources.
There's a Cytube server on it, but I get the feeling everyone prefers the official server. Which I understand completely.
I would host a BL server on it, but I'm sure everyone knows by now what happened to that.
I don't know what else I could host, it kinda stinks.
Is there anything in particular you guys want to see hosted that no one's really doing?

Modification Help / Server_IRCBridge -- Development ceased until further notice
« on: April 29, 2014, 03:55:02 PM »This essentially merges Blockland's chat and an IRC channel into one.
Messages from IRC users are turquoise in Blockland's chat. It also mentions when they join and leave.
I may consider adding in the IRC commands later on, but this should suffice for now.
The randomness on the end of the room name and Blockland users are to prevent issues with duplicates. IIRC duplicates are a big nono.
I've left my IRC server as the "default" server, but you could easily change it if you feel the need to.
Upon connecting, you are given the server address/port and what channel the addon is joining.
Support_Updater will update this for you automatically depending on which branch you use.

| Testing | http://parrokeet.duckdns.org/blockland/repo/Client_Stylish4BL/testing/Client_Stylish4BL.zip |
Support_Updater will update this for you automatically depending on which branch you use.
The point of this addon is to allow for a bit more customization in Blockland. Much more is planned to be added in the future, and I wanted to get some feedback and testing done very early in development.
 |  |
 |
Planned features
- Add in support to allow for other themes
- Add in support to switch themes on-the-fly
- Add a GUI to preview themes
- Add in support for Support_Updater
- Find some way to add a theme repository
- Allow for chat customizing
Known bugs
Find a much better way to recursively loop through GuiGroup. This ought to tackle most of the current issues
Recent Updates
v0.1.3-dev-4:
- More tweaks were added
v0.1.2-dev-2:
- It now recursively loops through each GUI and sets new profiles only if they're default ones.
- More tweaks were added
