I've been pretty busy this week working on a little project. Things are slowing down now.
Wedge, we should get in a group chat tomorrow (Friday) so we can discuss the community build event.

I've used all those packs. The only one that had some iffy stuff is the One Random pack. They're also really complex bricks, so that's understandable.

@Wedge: What about this print? http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewFile.php?id=66
Another thing I think should be in by default.

I've polished up the mailbox and PM'd it to Treynolds Trey.

@Barnabas: I could do that if Wedge wants them gone.

We're also looking to make a contest mod for build contents but that's a big one. I'm thinking that there should be some kind of mailbox brick or something, and when you place it it registers it's location and the person who built it. Then judges or just other players can come around and leave feedback and a rating, and it's all tallied up and viewable through some command. A goto mailbox command would be good for finding builds in general, even without a contest. KINEX was looking into one for the SS server at one point (maybe they did make one, I don't remember), so he'd probably have some more suggestions. I'd probably be willing to put a cash bounty on this one depending on the quality and how many of the features are met. Some kind of cute mailbox brick where players can only place one and that makes it really simple to register your build is probably my biggest desire out of this mod.

I made a cute mailbox brick.

The flag can be 'moved' up and down. Might be useful?

Who wants to code?

Modification Help / Stuck on UV coords

« on: June 26, 2012, 07:49:16 PM »

EDIT: Fixed this by copying in correctly textured faces and moving them in position.
I will keep this topic in case someone else googles the same problem.

I made a special shaped brick (a shape on top of a 2x2 plate), and everything is done except for the bottomedge textures.
This sort of thing is beyond my capabilities to understand on my own.

After a few hours, this is the closest I could get:

I marked the edges that need fixed in the image and text.

The "left" and "bottom" edges are correct because the UV coords in pinetree.blb worked for them - not the rest.
Anyone here able to help me out?

I modeled a mailbox this morning. Currently messing around between converters.
I'm new to .blb making...

Well I give up on this.
Someone else give it a go...
Unless someone is nice enough to PM me some information on .blb conversion.

Please ignore this post if you are not a douchebag.

This is a public service announcement for everyone who joins.
Do not harass Blockheads.
They are not wild animals.
Many do not know how to say STOP, so consider yourselves personal space rapists.
If you ruin a new player's first impression of the game, it becomes Badspot's problem.
Thank you.

I declare total war of meat products. Hamburger Bay is in conflict with Sausage Island.
Hot Dog Island is trying to remain neutral.

@Tudorleuu: Request a Mod

---

I'm not so sure about stuff like 1x5 and 1x7 bricks. Things will get really messy if people keep requesting new odd-sizes.
They're not really needed, since those situations can be dealt with.

By "extremely useful" I mean add-ons like the vertical pole bricks. Some details aren't possible without them.
Same thing for the round corner bricks, except they're based on LEGO bricks. So they're useful AND LEGO-like.

In my opinion, it's better to have the extra bricks and not use them than to need them and not have them.

Edit: The server already uses a few brick add-ons, so compatibility is already out the window. (If you wanted to load the save on your own.)
It's pretty much down to preference and what Wedge is willing to do.

I think the icon is enough. Show the community you support the server. That's what donating should be about.

---

I suggested a lot of new themes for future builds... There must be a few decent ones in that big list.

I also suggested some of the more popular brick add-ons. They could be useful.
Community, do you like brick add-ons?
Not enough variety with the default ones? Modded ones are too crazy / distract from the LEGO feel?*
*The brick add-ons will either need to be extremely useful or look like LEGO. Crazy stuff probably won't make the cut.

Voice your opinions!

everyone seems to like my builds, but the admins destroy them, well, maybe REVENGE OF THE GIANT CLOCK TOWER idea wasn't as great as i thought...........

We are still getting some of the kinks worked out with the server mods. Some builds might not have loaded from earlier today.

Edit: Unless something else happened. Dunno. Make a hot dog?

The Weinerburg is under attack!
