I request a Macro²
client sided, and builds at the fastest speed! (not a build bot, but a macro)

meow

How would that possibly be better than buildbot?
And build bot is essentially a "macro" in the sense that it repeats recorded build information.
Maybe you want a way to convert in between macro files and save files so buildbot can use them?
In that case I recommend playing the macro and then saving it either with either regular saving, the buildbot dup saver, or the regular duplicator save feature if you are hosting the server.

Also, an alternate server settings ui that allows changing of any server pref

What's wrong with the rtb server settings manager that does all that and more?

Is it possible to remove the ground alltogether so I can build inside it?
As in load a save and attach bricks to it.

Yes!

If you download the newest version of the Space Pack as well as the map properties loader support script, it includes a /toggleground command that will allow you to remove the ground.
Unfortunately, RTB messed up and it didn't push the update as a new notification, and I want to actually make some changes or something before I justify updating the file and making ephi approve it again so that it sends that push notification and updates the version.

I have exactly the same printer and it gives that error all the damn time

And then there is the annoying part where every time you turn on your computer, it adds a new printer to the list of printers that you can print from, so after a month I have
HP Photosmart
HP Photosmart (Copy 2)
HP Photosmart (Copy 3)
HP Photosmart (Copy 4)
HP Photosmart (Copy 5)
etc

just spammed across every networked computer in my house.

Wow forget you buddy :'(


I'll do some work to it tonight

Or it was a relative compliment to the other ships in your gallery.
I've seen you make some really nifty ships, although this one seems to lack detail, which can be seen by the 2x and 4x ramps used on it.
Either way, I appreciate any contribution

Modification Help / Re: Secondary Fire on hold click

package armor::on trigger
make it schedule the function you want when the slot is left trigger and the pressed/released boolean is true
when that boolean is false and the slot is left trigger, make it cancel that schedule
I would suggest parenting the schedule to the player so it goes poot if the player dies
That will make it so the player needs to hold the left trigger for however many miliseconds you have the schedule delayed for to do stuff

WROOOOONG


3732 bricks

That one doesn't look nearly as pretty as most of the ones in your gallery

I think I'll start by seeing if I can get my random asteroid generator doing something worthwhile, then add more interesting stuff as it becomes available.

Modification Help / Re: Scrolling Gui Console Command?

« on: October 14, 2012, 02:13:34 PM »

if you want a way for the server to make a scrolling gui appear for the client, then none exists by default.  If you are talking completely client sided, it is not a simple console command.  You actually have to put together the gui you want before you can make it do stuff like appearing and disappearing.

Uh, what are you talking about?

RTB is an add-on

Handled completely client sided or with default server add ons

I've not really thought too hard about whether it'd be clientside or serverside. I see a few benefits and drawbacks to both. The idea of having to send the build to the server to load sounds kind of lame but at the same time so does the client making the server have to download the build from RTB - though the latter would be quicker. Ideally I'd like to load it in such a way that doesn't rely on the server having a particular add-on, though.

But this takes the server completely out of the equation if you make it load in a macro/buildbot method.  As long as the client can build, it can load up stuff.  It's especially ideal for smaller props.

But if you think you can convince badspot to allow the client to make the server download stuff and then load it into the server, then I'm sure it would be a much better solution than buildbot.

The only issue I've got with props (and builds actually) is how to load them into the game. In an ideal situation you'd be able to hit the "load" button on the in-game save browser and it'd equip your player with a special brick which would be a square with the exact dimensions of the build you're trying to load to make it a bit easier to position and everything. Obviously that's not possible at the moment but I might pitch the idea to Badspot and see how keen he is on adding some kind of system to do that. If anyone else has got some ideas about how to place builds you're loading when you're not exactly sure about it's dimensions then definitely discuss them in this thread.

What what is wrong with just downloading a .bls file and loading it duplicator style?
Or duplorcator style too.

Unless this is something that is being handled completely client sided...
I worked out duplication saving/loading in buildbot if using that or something similar is acceptable to you.
Or you could even make it create a macro, although buildbot is sorta the same thing, except faster.

Heck, I could probably put together some basic client sided prop downloading and loading pretty quick if I can get a server to host the stuff.
