Gallery / Jorgur's functioning keyboard and notepad.exe
« on: October 08, 2018, 09:53:36 AM »
Jorgur built this on my v20 server on the map 'Mikes House' - it's pretty amazing how it all works and functions. It took him two days on/off and has many hidden features shown in the demonstration video:

General Discussion / ™ in the Blockland Logo
« on: October 07, 2018, 01:53:14 PM »
what the forget?? i never remembered this to be here but apparently it's been there
from v9 to v19 the logo had a little ™ in the top right:
until the logo was then updated to the shinier version:
but i never remembered this little trademark symbol. it's pretty weird that it wasnt in the game from v1-v8 but was added in v9. then I assume was forgotten about in the v20 title change.
an even weirder fact is that the new shinier logo was in the game far earlier, in the mac version. it was only added in the windows version in v20.

General Discussion / Glok's RTB v1.045 Adventures in 2008 - The Movie
« on: September 10, 2018, 04:11:25 PM »
this is an hour of RTB v1.045 gameplay. it's from 2008 by someone named "Glok" and was recorded using torque demo files. I played back the demo files, upscaling the 720p video to 4k so the gui is still large (you can read the chat) without youtube compressing the forget out of it.

Add-Ons / The Largest BL Add-on Collection (7903 add-ons!!)
« on: August 30, 2018, 04:55:49 PM »
After being a bit frustrated with how diverse and lost some add-ons are due to RTB shutting down and other add-ons being failed on RTB having no actual place to be held, I've decided to make a massive complete collection of them.
It has 7903 add-ons and is going to grow in the future. We've gotten in contact with some people, dug up many old download links and now it's all in a single page for easy searching.
It's definitely not actually a 'complete' collection, and that's where you come in - If you have a large add-on collection, get in contact with me! I'm glad to take your add-on folders, figure out duplicate items, date them correctly and add them to the collection.
I SHOULD MENTION none of these addons have been filtered out for quality. every add-on has been included for archival - don't complain to me if an addon doesn't work or confuses you. there's many addons that dont work in v21 or are just made really badly.
Enter
The rest of the archive, including saves, screenshots and more!
also, you can join the Blockland Content Archival Discord if you want to help out in discovering old Blockland lost content:

Suggestions & Requests / addon to allow non-admins to use the admin orb
« on: August 21, 2018, 03:00:09 PM »
i used to have this really great add-on that allowed non-admins on my freebuild server to use the admin orb, and also be able to /find other players. since then i have no idea where this add-on has gone (searching through my add-on folder hasn't brought anything, maybe it has a dumb name) and I'd really love if someone has it, or if someone could even re-make it!

This is a megathread detailing all of the major new features in this version of SMF. If i'm missing anything, please tell me.
1. Changing how many posts display on each page
The first feature is that you can now change how many posts display on a single page.
in account settings - look and layout
this also means that the pagecount of topics will be drastically different, and pagelossing is no longer really a thing.
2. Browsing your topics and attachments
A really useful new feature is being able to browse all of the topics someone have created, and attachments someone have uploaded.
To do this, go to the normal Show Posts button on someone's profile, and you can select it here:
3. Ignoring people
You can now ignore people's posts by default, without any use of a userscript!
https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;area=lists;sa=ignore
4. More page number links
You can click the ... to bring up more page number links.
5. Avatar upload no longer buggy and automatically resizes images!
The avatar uploading system is now not-stuff, and automatically resizes images that you upload to be below 75x75.
6. Topic Icons
Topics can now have icons! Here are all of the ones you can select from:
7. Buddy System
Similarly to the Blocked system, there's also a Buddy system!
Add buddies here: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;area=lists;sa=buddies
8. "Recent Unread Topics" and "Updated Topics" pages
The "Recent Unread Topics" page displays all of the most recent topics that you haven't read: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=unread
The "Updated Topics" page displays all of the topics that you have posted in, and have unread posts: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=unreadreplies
9. Hide top banner
You can hide the top banner showing your name, avatar and date. If you really wanted to.

Small changes:
- rip old BLF banner image and baby
- Clicking on an image that was manually resized by the OP allows you to view it at full res.
- Signatures no longer show in PMs
- The title of the thread doesn't show up every reply anymore.
- Ad bot doesn't affect the coloring of each post anymore.
- The people on the online list who appeared in italics no longer show up at all in the online list. This includes Badspot.
- For some reason you're now unable to edit polls. ;(
- There's now a little 'search' box at the top of the page.
- Quick edit is gone :(

The only thing i have edited is the .cs file, by packaging it into a proper addon for use in modern versions of BL.

Add-Ons / The RTB2 Add-on Archive
« on: May 11, 2018, 06:51:36 PM »
This is an archive of 1107 add-ons that mostly have not been seen ever since 2009.
RTB2 was the predecessor to the last RTB3 (the one we all know), and only lasted from February to July of 2009.
Unlike RTB3, when uploading files to RTB2 it would not have needed to be seen by a moderator before being submitted on the site. This, however, meant that there was a lot of bad/trash submissions.
After RTB2 shut down, however, there was a brief backup page on the RTB website with all of the add-ons, but this was removed a while after with seemingly nobody having actually downloaded all of the addons. Fortunately we've recently discovered that Regulith had downloaded all of the add-ons back then, and has given it to us to fix up and release.
There are some add-ons here that are quite rare, and a lot that are quite bad and barely working.
I have corrected some add-ons to work properly, such as many add-ons that were nested or those with weird packaging.
HOWEVER NOTE that a lot of these add-ons have been completely unmoderated. Proceed at your own risk when using some of these add-ons.

Off Topic / the Random BLF Topic Chooser
« on: April 28, 2018, 08:19:04 AM »
quick page I put together which simply just sends you to a completely random BLF topic.
note that it sometimes comes up with pages that don't exist anymore. just use your browsers back button to return back to the random button.
https://bergle.me/blftopic/
post in this topic any weird/funny topics you come across!
this has nothing to do with the actual 'bergle' site. I'm just using the site to host this page.

Help / is there a reason why blockland doesn't Ever remember my key?
« on: December 26, 2017, 04:00:47 PM »
every time i restart my computer and re-open blockland, my key is absolutely forgotten and i have to reenter it.
after this, it remembers my key fine until i reboot my computer again.
I use windows 10, and my other windows 10 laptop doesn't encounter this issue.
I've asked friends also and none that I've talked to state that they have encountered this issue.
the most annoying part of it is that client add-ons don't load on demo boot-up, so i have to restart once again to load all client add-ons

Creativity / thunders
« on: August 01, 2017, 08:12:28 AM »
today i heard thunder so i decided to stick my mic out my window and save the thunder forever
listen
the mic i have isn't the most staticless but im definitely surprised at how sensitive it is
i tried to set up my settings right, but i think i made it too low-end.
I don't have a super expensive pre-amp to make the mic any louder then it is (current one is like £20), but i feel the static would be just the same tbh, still impressed while thinking about the price of this mic tho
