I made a comic about Mass Effect 2. This may shed some light on Sheppard's other romantic problems.

General Discussion / V15 Bug: "Waiting for Server"
« on: June 02, 2010, 11:31:45 AM »
There is an intermittent bug where when you join a server the loading screen appears but the loading bar just stops at "Waiting for server".
This seems to be caused by the server just not properly going through the connection process. Specifically it does not send the 'MissionStartPhase1' command to client. This may be caused by modifying GameConnection::loadMission - are there any add-ons that do this?
Has anyone had this happen to them? Has anyone had it happen on my server? I tend to think everything is caused by an add-on but I joined my server 20+ times in a row with no problems where on some servers this problem occurs every other connection attempt.

Version 15
New website: http://www2.blockland.us/index.html
It's on a different server so it will be on www2. until the DNS changes propagate.
I've also rewritten the master server so hopefully it will be a more responsive at peak times, but then again maybe not because...
Server preview images: http://www2.blockland.us/browse.php
As your server runs it slowly renders an isometric preview of what's in your server. It takes about 10 minutes to update. You can recenter your server preview with /setpreviewcenter (if you are admin), but this will reset the current preview rendering.
Yes, the list needs organization. I'm not entirely sure what kind of load this will put on the server so it may go up and down as I fiddle with it.
Changelog: http://www2.blockland.us/Change-Log.html#14to15
If something is broken: Don't freak out and post an angsty thread immediately because I will just ban you. Just tell me what is broken so I can fix it.
Confirmed Bugs

Confirmed Bugs
- When loading bricks, water bricks have no physical zone (ie you just fall through them)
- Weird trails / uncleared buffer in bedroom or kitchen - v15 automatically lowers your view distance if you are getting less than 20 fps. Low view distances do not work well in interiors. You can disable this feature in options->advanced by unchecking "Automatic Draw Distance Adjustment"
- Z-fighting when you place a waterbrick on top of an 8x cube brick
- Ghost bricks disappear - fixed for v16
- Assert: fxDTSBrick::onRemove -still in renderNode! - fixed for v16
- Visible distance affects sun flare
- Join button on website does not work - You must run the game once to register the protocol. The game must have permission to write to the registry.

Drama / Mail bag: perverted player
« on: May 16, 2010, 02:26:42 PM »
I have received an email:

Dear Mr.Blockland Creator,
I was playing on Wizzard's dog fights and there weren't very many people on and most of them were
away from the keyboard but there was this one perverted player named ry that told me to follow him so i did
and he took me to some place and he told me to come over to him and he told me to use the hug emote and he used the hug emote
and i wasn't really sure what was going on but i thought something was up so i ran away and then ry said he raped me
(thank goodness thats not really possible on the game) and then i called him a perv and he left so could you please ban him?
If more stuff like this happens then my mom will take me and my bro and sis off blockland.

Drama / Re: Tezuni's stolen model
« on: April 27, 2010, 12:18:27 AM »
Original thread:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=108660.0
Tezuni posted an M82 rifle add-on that was blatantly ripped from some model he found online.
Some people call him on it, he denies it and maintains that he made it.
The post was reported (good job) so I look at it.
Clear evidence of crappy importing. Someone who had the ability to model this would not rush through the import/export procedure and leave so many obvious errors.
So it looks like a crappy imported model and it is way too many polygons, so I send it to the fail bin and give him a one week ban for trying to pull this stuff. Stealing artwork is common among handicapped children on the internet, but now that he's been caught and punished he'll learn his lesson, right?

Hmm, so let's review the evidence. Heedicalking found this model which appears to be exactly the same model except it was uploaded to the Google 3D warehouse just over one year ago by some guy who is not Tezuni.
Well let's compare, shall we? (click for high res)
*note: The gray box over the magazine appears to be some forgeted up collision or detail mesh. The original magazine is visible underneath it.
Oh look, it's exactly the same. I could literally take an infinite number of screenshots of it looking the same because it is the same loving model.
Those of you who have beenstalking me paying attention may know that one of my pet peeves is people ripping off artwork and claiming it as their own. There are some websites where this kind of stuff is tolerated and I hate it. So when I have the power to punish these kiddies, I do it.
It boggles my mind that someone would try to pull this off after the evidence was presented or hell, even trying it at all when the original model can be found by typing "M82" into the appropriate google form. I would assume trolling, but let's face it Tezuni is not that smart. His email is sincere and he is trying to actually get away with it.
Case Closed
Verdict: Ban
Commendations to Packer and heedicalking for their internet detective work.

Hey, this is Tezuni from the forums.
Recently gave me a one week ban for posting an add-on. I originally made this add-on in Google Sketchup and used MS3D to add the joints and export to DTS. I never have been good at modeling in MS3D, so I make a lot of things in Sketchup. I converted it and patched it up in MS3D as best I could. I think it turned out well, and although it may be high poly, that's hardly a bannable offense. I think banning me for it was quite rude and uncalled for, and if you really did not like it, just dumping it in the fail bin would have sufficed.
Your solution was to ban me, call my hard work a "stuffty Add-On", and not give a second thought as to whether it was really my work or not.
Well, I hope you'll consider unbanning me. I used it in my server with 0 added lag despite everyone complaining about how high poly it was.
