Off Topic / Steampowered platform not only for gaming?: Steam Store Software

« on: October 02, 2012, 01:14:42 PM »

http://store.steampowered.com/software

As of now, there's not that much content:
3D-Coat
Gamemaker: Studio
ArtRage Studio Pro
3DMark Vantage
3DMark 11
CameraBag 2
And of course, Source Filmmaker.

Each software is 10% off for the first week apparently.

Also, Gamemaker apparently has achievements.

Suggestions & Requests / onMusicEnd

« on: September 06, 2012, 01:13:10 PM »

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=192214.msg5153893#msg5153893

Everyone agreed to this and it still hasn't been made. But it's never too late.

Can someone make a onMusicEnd activator, that used on Music bricks, it will trigger whenever a loop of the music is done?

Help / For awhile game runs flawless, then usages get restrained to ~50%

« on: September 04, 2012, 10:24:41 AM »

Sometimes (mostly) when I start the game, I can get 90 FPS on the same map/view. But this has made me frustrated for awhile:
After playing for a undefined amount of time, I get a massive FPS loss, when looking at the usages, neither one of GPU or CPU is used 100%, or even more than 50% in some cases.

Apparently getting this error in Blockland "trades" it with other games too, no other game is capable of getting me as much FPS as before.
The effect is one way. I can play any game for hours and the FPS never fails, and Blockland runs as normal as before (that is up to the point where this happens).

I understand Torque is a old engine, that can't necessarily squeeze my GPU/CPU to death, but that does not really explain to me why the grand FPS loss, that is also traded thorough other games after it happens.

Help much appreciated, this is frustrating.

Help / VCE Saving Variables about a brick?

« on: August 22, 2012, 08:23:06 AM »

I want to make some kind of stat loggers with VCE I.E. how many times was x done y times in the server.

It works, up to the point when I restart the server, saving or not.

There's no saveVariable or loadVaraible for Brick.

Does anyone know any way to save/load Brick variables? Or for the matter if they can make one (but this would be in Suggestions & Requests then I guess).

Help / Where can I find the BLB Model Viewer?

« on: August 20, 2012, 10:50:33 AM »

There was a BLB Model Viewer that I can remember made by Destiny, but because he changed sides (website) he no longer hosts it.

Does anyone still have a version of it or a link to it please? I can't find it anywhere.

Off Topic / Windowskey + Tab

« on: August 15, 2012, 03:34:06 PM »

Did you know that instead of Alt + Tab you can use Windowskey + Tab for a neat, cooler effect that shows more of the windows in a sliding motion?

(For the record, W7/W Vista only).

After the update I can't seem to find any way to choose a new colorset except replacing the default one. Any other ways to change them?

Modification Help / .blb : Making faces not cast shadows

« on: August 10, 2012, 12:00:34 PM »

Is there any way to make specific faces not cast any shadows? I made a brick and made a decal/logo on it, but it's a model, and it casts an ugly shadow over the rest of the model. Any way to make it not cast any shadow?

There's no 8, I swear. And it's totally not a Minecraft-related unexisting page.

It features search bars (in order) for: Google, DuckDuckGo, WolframAlpha, Youtube & Wikipedia.
The search bars on homepage2:


I should'a put it in Creative but I already have had made a topic for the same subject in here... So...


New revision coming up, grunge textures are removed, Minecraft for to be added, but also, I managed to get switchers working. They are also going to use cookies, that way you will not need to change the style every time you get back on the page.


HOWEVER, I need color ideas for stripes: 2 color patterns please. I'd rather have you use some hex colors instead of saying red/blue, because there are different shades of red and different shades of blue.

Help / Lag Threshold in Network Settings

« on: July 30, 2012, 12:29:11 PM »

Googled it and searched on the BLF, I found no feasible results.

What does it do? Would it be better to keep it lower or higher? I see Dial-Up and Broadband settings both have it to 400, but in Custom you can change it, and I wonder what would be better.
