TYCOON STYLEI want the public to deside which style the multiplayer version of the tycoon should look like:
Beta Blockland: (
Winning) (I voted for this one)
Player looks like it did in v2, other than that everything else is the same.
Roblox (
Losing)
Player looks like a Robloxian, all brick textures are REMOVED.
I Suggest (Post)Post your own idea that doesn't involve the default playertype! It will be added to the vote!

Tycoon BloopersEpic fails and other funny occurrences are posted below:
This happened when i was working on v0.5:
not a glitch, i really had that much money
This happened when i was testing a vender in Update v0.6:
My right arm was glitching and staying up as if i was holding an item
Or he decided that national socialist's are cool.
ReplysLol totally reminds me of my older days playing blockland. I like it so far, but I have to ask, how did you get it to display the owner's name with bricktext? I'm assuming VCE. Did you turn the player's name into a variable and then put that variable into the bricktext?
Also, consider making a simple GUI. When players claim the tycoon, fire a relay and have it check every 10 seconds (aka 10,000 delay), and when the relay fires have it display the players info in the bottom print. This way players can see all the money they have on their person.
Do you have a final, finished tycoon planned or just "earn moar muney an stuf loel"
thx for the advice, and yes i do have a plan for where i'm going to take this tycoon. Like for example i'm going to have a button where when you walkacross it it will add another 64X64 base to your 32X32 base to expand your field.
btw, i turned the players name (<var:client:name>) into a var in the brick.
VCE_modvariable>Brick>Pname>==><var:client:name>so the bricks value (Pname) is the players name. Then i set Bricktext to Owner:<var:brick:Pname>.
I've never really used VCE before now, so i'd say i'm doing pretty good.
btw i already have a gui like you explaned but it does not show up in screenshots.
I want to see the gui
Future Screenshots will include the GUI
Cmooooon it aint that hard to post a pocture of a gui :u
You ask and i give
Cuz i'm that awsome
So we are like mystical beings selling Light to Humans?
I didn't really think of that much, you can buy machines that pump natural light in from outside it, the red bricks are the collectors, the collectors then proceed to possess that light giving it a physical form, it is than shot into the maze where it bounces endlessly collecting more light until it finds the green solar brick and enters phase 2 where it is converted into Digital currency which is just named, for the sake of simplicity, Money. That good? I just made it up as i went along but it sounds good.
How are you going to remove the tycoon ownership when the owner leaves? Seems impossible with VCE.
This is a serious issue that i still dont know how i'm going to fix. It may resort to asking MARBLE MAN to make an Onplayerdisconnect Output event. Or such but as an extension to VCE.
You still haven't posted the gui
So I assume the gui is either
-not existant
-ugly stuff
I have. The only GUI there is is that little Money indecator in the lower left corner
that i circled in redI may go on to make a real GUI with the mission editor addon but i would need to know how to make the buttons actually work, which i could just look at the other pre-made GUI's for, I might try to make one later.
But for now thats all there is
EDIT this is SOMEWHAT what it would look like if i made one
He could use a Fakekillbrick event to kill all the bought items or something?
I already have a system to reset the tycoon but it needs to happen automaticly, i'm not going to stay in that server 24/7 reseting tycoons after people leave.
I was deciding that you should add some like stuff that would make your tycoon more attractive and/or something that expands your tycoon by width
I'm not done
yetWhat's a LM
What's a Vender
What's a BGM
Light Machine
Acts like a vending machine, gives you an item when you click it, or gives you an ability.
Stands for Background Music
*Pong's now start at red brick and end at green brick. There will be NO updating systems for the LM's
**A noob door is a door that only you can pass through, to prevent noobs from entering
***Now includes orange "Multiplier" bricks that split one pong into two
****Now includes blue "Division" bricks that turn two pongs into one again, the number on top the bricks shows the number of pongs that go into the brick before the brick fires a pong
*****Outputs $10,000 every 13 seconds! But cost's $10,000,000

In comblocks lovey server i was working on my build, making a brick wall kinda, and i noticed a 2x1x1 brick planted into a 1x1x5, (far right) then i tryed again after posting that on the RTB chat, and i was able to do so again, this is cool as hell and i have never encountered this before. i planted 2 2x1x1 bricks in 2 2x1x1 bricks and it looked like that, (center) any thoughts as to why, maybe because theres little over 34k bricks in the server?
(because i got banned) as you can see is perfectly transparent. I also made this in paint.NET. and uploaded it as a PNG
