General Discussion / Christmas Village Server

« on: December 21, 2011, 09:57:50 PM »

Two days ago I decided I wanted to build a village, specifically for Christmas, I wanted it to be done before Christmas, and knew on my own I could not do that.  The first thing I did was message my two friends *Magick* Mage and Glaedr and asked them to help me.  We built a small section of a town and had barely started doing anything before I called for more help.  This time calling in another friend Remousamavi. 

However it would appear that while hosting this public server people began to build off on their own, so I extended the road and allowed people to build off of it.  After a long day today people have created a few good builds, many however are unfinished.

If you want to build something or if you just want to poke around come on down to Benofdoom's Christmas Village Server!

Off Topic / Friend is building computer, needs help.

« on: September 19, 2011, 07:49:26 PM »

My friend is having an issue building a computer, he has a lot of stuff from his old computer he plans on using, so he has almost everything, he also knows what he wants.

However the problem that he is having is that his current power supply is 650 watts and the graphics card he has needs 550, his current power supply is 38 amps and the card needs 38 amps.  Is this ok to use or should he upgrade his power supply.

Not much is known now, but any information will help.

Assassins creed revelations is supposed to come out this November.  It will be the follow-up to Brotherhood.  It will also be Ezio's final chapter.   Altaïr, Ezio, and Desmond, play a part in the story, and how you'll control each of the three as playable characters.  Ezio will be in Constantinople at the height of the Ottoman Empire.

More information after E3.

Gallery / Email system, using events.

« on: August 24, 2010, 10:44:34 PM »

This has got to be one of my favorite projects I ever made, it went through four very important stages before now, I haven't done anything on this recently, and it's fairly complicated. Using only 1 named brick per email client, and one named brick for the MPU.

Lets start with what I will call the MPU, mail processing unit, why do I call it that? I call it the MPU because it choses where to send the mail! Cool right?

Next we are onto clients, there are 2 buttons and message slots, red clears the messages, green lets you send messages, first it asks you Team chat or Regular chat, you will answer with a prompt, Next you say the box you want to send to, for example, if I were to send to lets say myself, I would say Ben's box, or something similar. then you click the green button again and it asks you to put in your message, put in your message for example lol and click the green button, congratulations message sent to Ben's box, the message being lol.

So what you might ask? well, this lets you send a message and it will be saved in that spot, even if the person is not in the server! Say your friend doesn't get to go on Blockland today, but you are leaving for vacation and your dedicated server is in his hands until you get back, leave him a message in his house's box and when he goes in he can see what you sent him!


Now for pictures explaining what this looks like, and how it is used, oh and sorry it is kind of ugly, not a great builder :/

This is the first image you will be presented with, choosing team chat or regular chat.




This is the second image, after you pick who you want to send to.



This is the final image, Congratulations I received the message!

To add more boxes, dupe the boxes, and change the named brick, the one above the row on the very left, or in my boxes case, the letter B.

Then add two events to the glowing circle in a glass box, they are already there, but be sure to set the right named brick!

Suggestions & Requests / New FX paints

« on: August 22, 2010, 04:56:03 PM »

Somehow me and someone else got into which FX was the best for gold, eventually we came up with an idea, a good one.

Two new FX paints, soften and darken, they do exactly what their names say, if you think about it, you would need 1/3 of the colors because you could just use darken or lighten, this would make most color sets more useful  by "tripling" the colors.
