Add-Ons / Re: Event_Piano || Composing piano melodies has never been easier!

It now works with external files as well. I'm afraid the files are client-sided, meaning you can't share the music unless you share the actual .txt-file. Some people might think thats a good thing, I'm not sure. I need to do some online testing to confirm this, however.

Something that is definately good about this is that you're not limited to 200 characters anymore. You can compose whole symphonies, if you want! 
Which brings me to the next step: converting my converter. I need to rewrite my Midi2Blockland event generator so that it creates useable .txt-files for this. That shouldn't be too much work, however.

Yes pls! That would be awesome!

Alright. I took a "quick" (I spent some 3 hours or so, it was the first time I ever wrote something in TorqueScript) look at it and came up with a feasable solution.
My improved script works with PianoExtended2.0, supports multiple notes simultaneously, and has a more flexible timing.
:D

I'll look into making it work with multiple Soundsets at once (dropdown menu or something, so you don't have to change the code every time) .

I'll share it as soon as I've implemented all the changes I want. Unless PurpleMetro doesn't want me to share it, of course.

Yup. Oldschool, but still a great value.

Another choice would be the Creative Aurvana Live. I heard it is the best headphone in its price range.

Don't worry. 95% of all drivers forgeted up when they drove for the first time. Kinda like love.

I stalled the engine in the middle of a busy roundabout. I've never heard that much honking before :D

Oops, I missed that part. Okay, that's a bit suspicious. Most likely a forum troll.

Then again: how unlikely is it that someone else chose the name MrLoL? Not very, given that it is quite simple. But then again, that particular typesetting is kinda unusual.

Exactly what I thought! Also, you should add at least one other sound pack to it!

The code doesn't look too difficult, I bet I could do that. What I don't know how to do is

You could for example have a pre-/suffix that indicates the duration of the note.
Like this: 1f 1f 3s 3s 1f 1f - The number indicates the note (1 is C and 3 is D), while the letter indicates the duration (t(hirty-two) for 1/32, s(ixteen) for 1/16, e(ight) for 1/8 and so forth)

I found a new way for powerleveling my recon:
- Go to Noshahr Cbrown towns TDM.
- Equip MAV
- Hide somewhere
- Mark the stuff out of the enemy team

= lots of points and medals and stuff.

Nice

Some suggestions:  
- Add support for other sound packs (such as Piano from RTB or my custom harpsichord pack)
- Use external .txt files for notes instead of a single, 200 character long string.

I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice. Oh, and customizable intervalls between notes would be nice as well. You could for example have a pre-/suffix that indicates the duration of the note.
Like this: 1f 1f 3s 3s 1f 1f - The number indicates the note (1 is C and 3 is D), while the letter indicates the duration (t(hirty-two) for 1/32, s(ixteen) for 1/16, e(ight) for 1/8 and so forth)

ok so king leo is basically king of all blockland art

though i don't think it would have been too difficult given how its not too difficult to adjust timing and you're also working off of sheet music (if not heckava lot of props to you for getting the sounds right). Rather, its just time consuming to get things in order and tested to sound right.

That song in the video was indeed done in the same way as suggested here. I took a piece of sheet music (or guitar tablature, rather) and converted it to the corresponding series of notes manually. It was a hell of a lot of work.
I've since also written a snippet of Python code that does the job for me, as discussed in this topic: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=211771.0

Yes, that song is played by events in the same way as yours.

No, that's not a bad temperature for a GPU to be at. It's not a good one either, mind you. But as long as it doesn't idle 80 degrees, you'll be fine.

Also, could someone explain that whole bitcoin thing to me?
