Help / Hosting Dedicated Servers
« on: May 26, 2010, 11:07:46 PM »
Gah! This is very frustrating. I've read the other threads and this is exactly what I did:
1. Opened BL normally, enabled the addons I wanted on the dedi.
2. Hosted an internet server
3. Closed BL
4. Ran dedicated.bat
5. Ran BL
6. Made my server
And it wasn't dedicated. What did I do wrong??

Help / Turning off addons in a dedicated server
« on: May 24, 2010, 10:33:45 PM »
I can't seem to disable addons when I host a dedicated server... Is there any way to do so, or do I just need to delete all the addons I don't want to force people to download?

Okay. This guy is epic.
Here are two of his songs:

He did indeed write "Still alive".
And the latter video was not intended to have a video (some WoW fan made it...)

Games / Dungeons and Dragons
« on: May 16, 2010, 05:07:53 PM »
Yes, it's a game. Discuss.
So what do you guys think of the new 4.0 version? I was saddened by how it strayed so far from the original game. (Power cards? What the heck?)

Off Topic / Ethics of Videogames
« on: May 16, 2010, 04:30:35 PM »
I am interested in a career in game design and have taken several classes on the subject as well as exploring existing games and languages. It seems fun and all, but my problem is in the ethics. Is it fair of me to make videogames just because I enjoy it? As opposed to, say, joining a non-profit organization, trying to stop global warming, or becoming a doctor or lawyer. All of these require a decent intellect, but game design is obviously not going to have the biggest impact on the world and thus it may be a waste of potential. Thoughts? (I'm pretty sure that this goes in off-topic...)

I hear alot about this "Plaz" character. His name now seems synonymous with noob, idiot, and the like. What did he do, exactly?

Suggestions & Requests / Large Spaceship
« on: May 13, 2010, 05:59:36 PM »
Edit: Psychopathic Clown is being very nice and making a pair of ships. You can find the Mod discussion here.
I would like to see a large spaceship, capable of supporting a full crew. Hopefully there would be a piliot, steering the thing, a few gunners, and possibly an engineer. It would be really cool if the engineer could direct power flow to weps/thruster/shields but I don't know if that's possible. Heck, I don't think the shields are possible.
Why is this a good idea? Well with the rebirth of the planets map, a couple of servers have popped up. It's really hard to do a space rp with inter-planar travel without a decent ship that can hold more than one player. At the moment, all that comes to mind was the star trek ship made a while ago, but it's kind of... well yeah.
A space to store fighters would be very cool as well, though may be too difficult to accomplish. /nomount script, as in carrier, perhaps?
Anyways, here are some ideas for ships:
Battlestar Pegasus
Star Destroyer
inb4makeabuild
Builds don't move.

Help / ifLastMsg for VCE
« on: May 02, 2010, 10:57:32 PM »
I was reading the VCE page and this came up. They said you were supposed to use
input>Client>IfVar:LastMsg==___>_____
But I couldn't get it to work. Is there an actual option I'm supposed to choose or what?

Suggestions & Requests / Ramp Launcher
« on: April 21, 2010, 08:45:50 PM »
Acts like ice magic as far as scripting. Except it doesn't freeze you. It just makes a 45 degree ramp. I was recently playing a racing game and I thought this would be an interesting trick to have. May be genius, may be idiocy. Discuss.

General Discussion / Zero Gravity Trench CTF
« on: April 20, 2010, 12:40:46 AM »
Your basic Trench CTF. But on a space map so there's zero gravity (or at least the illusion of zero gravity).
The map would be a large cube with an alcove on each of the 6 sides. 2 opposite from one another would be bases and the rest would be good staging areas. The walls would all be covered with 32 thick diggable bricks.
I thought this would be interesting as it would change how players act. Instead of making standard walls and towers (which are now useless) what would they make? It's like a terrarium! Change the conditions a bit and see how the ants react...
Anyways, thoughts? Good, bad? I'm considering hosting this as a server.

Suggestions & Requests / Spawn Brick
« on: April 14, 2010, 06:11:16 PM »
OnActivate>SpawnBrick>N
Would make a 1X1 just to the north of the 1X1 that houses this event. Ideally there would also be a function to make the brick spawn with events.
I have absolutely no clue whether either of these are possible, but if they are it would allow for a creeper type game that is more controllable.
