General Discussion / Logic/'Electricity' Builds

« on: August 03, 2011, 01:28:04 AM »

i know some of these have already probably been done, but i'm posting them anyways.


Computers using Projectiles/Relays
Including ALUs, CPUs, maybe even some sort of 1x1 print screen with a GPU.
It'd probably not be worth it or maybe not possible, not sure. I'm tired right now, it just seems like an interesting concept.

They obviously wouldn't be powerful, and not at all very useful for anything, but they'd be really neat if possible.

I have seen Halcynthis make a sort of Paint program using somewhat complex logic relays, but it was pretty dodgy.


Memory
Somewhat like the above. Memory using projectiles or relays. May not be possible, just a neat concept.

Calculators
I've yet to see a well-working calculator on Blockland. I'm sure it's possible.

Transformer sort of thing.
"Transformer" may not be the word I'm looking for, basically what I mean is a contraption that allows you to play a wide variety of sounds using relays or projectiles. It's been done before, but only in simple ways.

Random Number Generator
Seen it done a few times, but again, in simple ways.


the above are ideas, i just think it'd be interesting to see these done, looking back, i've seen some pretty complex arcade games using only projectiles.

i got to thinking what we could do with even more complex networks of similar things, maybe make a computer that isn't simple as duplicating a plate into a slot and having the computer run off that.


I'm tired, I may not even remember making this thread in the morning.

Would these be possible, and if so, who would participate in making some of them?

Modification Help / Processing onRelay.

« on: July 30, 2011, 09:06:05 PM »

I'm trying to make a script that processes the input event onRelay on any bricks within a radius, I'm using a containerRadiusSearch to do this, and it doesn't seem to work. It only activates on the brick that the search is started at.

I tried processing a single brick in the console, and no matter what I did, it'd just process it on the brick that did the radius search, even when it wasn't included.

Code: [Select]

if(isFile("Add-Ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/server.cs"))
{
	if(!$RTB::RTBR_ServerControl_Hook)
		exec("Add-Ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/RTBR_ServerControl_Hook.cs");
	RTB_registerPref("Max. Radius","radiusRelay","$Pref::RadiusRelay::MaxRadius","int 1 100","Event_RadiusRelay", 32, 1, 1);
	RTB_registerPref("Admin Only","radiusRelay","$Pref::RadiusRelay::AdminOnly","bool","Event_RadiusRelay", 0, 0, 1);
}

registerOutputEvent("fxDTSBrick", "radiusRelay", "int 0 "@$Pref::RadiusRelay::MaxRadius@" 0", 1);


function fxDTSBrick::radiusRelay(%brick, %radius, %client)
{
	if(%radius > $Pref::RadiusRelay::MaxRadius)
		%radius = $Pref::RadiusRelay::MaxRadius;
	if(%radius <= 0)
		return;
	if($Pref::RadiusRelay::AdminOnly && (!%client.isAdmin && !%client.isSuperAdmin))
		return;
	%pos = %brick.position;
	initContainerRadiusSearch(%pos, %radius, $TypeMasks::FxBrickObjectType);
	for(%i = containerSearchNext(); %i != 0; %i = containerSearchNext())
	{
		if(%i != %brick)
			%i.processInputEvent("OnRelay", %i);
	}
}

Add-Ons / Random Player Chat [v2; Minigame Event]

« on: July 16, 2011, 02:05:13 PM »

Random Player Chat
Requested here: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=161850.msg3956318#msg3956318

Basically all it does is replace %2 in chat with a random player in the server.

I honestly have no idea why this was needed, but I decided to make it anyways for slimabob.

Added a minigame event that messages all in chat that are in the minigame.
%1 = person who gets the message
%2 = person who activated the message

Off Topic / Surreal Cosmos (development three)

« on: July 15, 2011, 07:15:27 PM »

Yeah, starting this back up.

Sci-Fi RPG Singleplayer sort of game (POSSIBLY MAYBE MIGHT BE MULTIPLAYER TOO)

will more than likely be free if and when it's done (if i charge anything, it'd be just something like $2.99 or something.)

may need a bit of help

it is 2D, not 3D.

using Torque 2D 1.7.5 Pro for this

What is planned?
-Tier-Styled Weapon and Armour (e.g. woods < stones < metals)
-Enemy AIs (e.g. flying, fleeing, basic, boss, aggressive, etc.)
-Storyline-Style Levels¹
-Day/Night Cycles²
-Saving/Loading (well duh)
-'Unhackable' (wink) Save File Encryption
-Mod API
-Character System (Similar to terraria's; in the case that I add multiplayer, it'd be set up like terraria's multiplayer system.)
-Easter eggs!   (ie, your player has rainbow FX)

¹: This means there will be storylines with individual levels within them, updates may include new storylines.
²: Maybe.

Scripters:
-ottosparks

Artists:
-Cybertails1998
-Zenon
-Wing Zero
-FrozenEye

Music/Sound Makers:
-ottosparks
-Altered

Website:
-ottosparks

I'm scrapping pretty much everything from the first time.
Will have a logo up in a bit.

a note for anyone who wants to make music, i prefer you use OrgMaker or Aviary. FruityLime is okay, too, but i want sort of 16-bitty music.

it's going well

Off Topic / Odd Things Happening Recently.

« on: July 15, 2011, 04:51:58 PM »

Recently some very odd things have been going on.

Sometime back in June, I was outside letting my dog use the restroom. Suddenly there was some sort of rumbling. It sounded and felt like a motorcycle or car passing through the neighborhood, but there was no vehicle of any kind. After the rumbling stopped, from the north-north-eastern part of the neighborhood, there was some sort of loud sound that sounded like thousands of cicadas at once, sweeping through the entire area going straight. It stopped on the western side of our house, my dog started barking. I looked over and saw a rabbit, so that was probably what it was.

The other day, I was in Mount Hope, AL, visiting my grandparents. A similar thing happened when I was in the kitchen, I heard no rumbling that time, but there were sounds of lots of crickets coming from the north-north-eastern part of the town, the sound stopped on the eastern side of the house, then went back, came forward again, and repeated that a few times.

On a side note, after the first time, occasionally every few days, I'd hear random rumbling and whistling outside, which I've been dismissing as wind since it normally happens around the time there are storms.

What's going on? It's beginning to concern me a bit.

Also, I see nothing that would be making the sounds.
Not in the trees, a tornado had passed through Mount Hope awhile back and there were no trees they could have been in.

Off Topic / Have some money again.

« on: July 15, 2011, 01:40:20 PM »

I have a good amount of excess money, about $240. (of course $140 may not be mine, i don't know)

I want to know what I should get.

I'm thinking I should get a newer version of Torque2D so that I can actually work on Surreal Cosmos again, which is $99.

Then I'd have money left.

What should I do with the remainder?

Modification Help / Sort of sight range search.

« on: July 06, 2011, 01:14:18 AM »

What I'm trying to do is add something to gameConnection::onDeath that makes every player do a sort of search to see if they can see the player who died and who killed the player. There could also be a first, instant search and another search a bit later to confirm if they saw or not.

I'm thinking this is possible with raycasts or some container search of some sort, but I don't know where to begin to do this.

Gallery / Some Pond (somewhat image-heavy)

« on: June 27, 2011, 12:27:45 PM »

Last night I was in a VERY ITCHING building mood and this is what came out of about six hours of work.
The name of the pond is Some Pond.

NO TURTLES ALOUD ON THE PREMISES OR THEIR OWNERS WILL BE GIVEN DUNCE CAPS TO WEAR UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.





















LOL POO


Will update with more pictures later.

I actually I had lost sleep last night to build this thing.

rate, comment, opinions, etc.

It's on Badspot's if you want to see it and if the build wasn't reset.
