Help / I can't die??
« on: March 24, 2013, 02:45:54 PM »
Started a server thinking I might explore making gamemodes a little more, and I realized that I can't ctr k, can't Self Delete via events, can't even die in a minigame using self damage, has anybody else had this problem? What is going on?

Creativity / Which spongebob episode is this??
« on: March 19, 2013, 07:05:37 PM »
I'm making a picture to make fun of a stupid Facebook trend and I wanted a picture of that scene where spongebob holds something up that emits radio waves or something, and they both drool and act stupid. I don't remember what episode this was or what they were even holding asdf
and of course I remember right after I post this double asdf

General Discussion / event_playerplus?
« on: March 16, 2013, 11:18:15 AM »
I was looking through my addons and found Event_playerPlus
Looking at the file, it's by amade, but other than that I can't tell what exactly it does. It effects the players appearance somehow, that's about all I can tell from the code. Does anybody recognize this? I'm not sure what it is or if it's worth keeping, couldn't find it via search either

General Discussion / Manually setting a bots appearance
« on: March 16, 2013, 11:06:27 AM »
My only real complaint I have with the new bot events are the appearance settings. It's good and all, but you can only make the bot have your current appearance with custom. Meaning all the things you could do with appearances with the old Bot events, like the doombot and brick buddy look, are now very difficult if not impossible.
When I use the custom event, however, I look back at the event and it adds all sorts of code and whatnot for the appearance at the end. So does that mean it's possible to manually set up a bots appearance, even beyond what's doable now if you input the right code?

Off Topic / Someone should make an "anti-microphone"
« on: March 12, 2013, 12:14:41 PM »
So an anti-microphone is exactly what it sounds like, the opposite of a microphone. Instead of amplifying sound it completely absorbs it.
If you've heard of it, there's a certain room that people built in such a way and out of such materials so that it absorbed all sound. So much so that people often hallucinated when staying inside too long because of the complete and utter silence. I think someone should make something similar, only that's usable like a mic.
That way all the self conscious people who don't like singing in public can sing as loudly and obnoxiously as they wanted to without others hearing them, lol
Think something like this is possible?

Off Topic / Speed reading
« on: March 05, 2013, 08:11:20 PM »
So I want to start learning how to speed read,
On my ACT the only thing keeping me from a 30 now is Science and reading, which the main problem is just having enough time to read all that information in such little time. I don't read as much as I should so I'm naturally not the fastest of readers. So in the next few weeks I'm going to be practicing Speed Reading.
While I doubt I'll be reading 1,200 words a minute like a certain president claims, it can supposedly triple my reading speed. So do any of you guys know how to speed read?

Off Topic / Misophonia
« on: March 02, 2013, 12:03:12 PM »
So a few years ago I saw this video and realized that I have a legitimate mental condition
For years I've been completely irritated by plain old sounds that most people don't even notice, sometimes I've even been put into tears and have to leave the room
A lot of people I've told this about think I'm making it up or am exaggerating, but this isn't a joke in the slightest. It's a nervous disorder that can be worse than pain sometimes, and the worst part is that there are numerous triggers
Personally number 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 14 don't bother me. But everything else... UUGHHh
so yeah that topic was too old so I'm making this to continue the convo, /discuss

1) People chewing
2) Persistent scratching
3) Snoring
4) People whistling out their nose when they sleep

6) ANYTHING that comes out of a baby
7) Muffled voices or bass kicks coming from a faraway room
8) Jocks screaming “OOOOOOOOOH” because something cool happened on Xbox Live or American Football
9) Asian languages
10) High heels on the floor above me
11) Dripping faucets
12) Chalk/chalkboards
13) The underdeveloped voices of children
14) "YOU'LL MAKE A FINE RUG, CAT!" (I swear I'm not joking I kill bandits especially hard when they exclaim this)
15) Microphone feedback
16) Young girls screaming with delight
17) "Like" or "um" after every word
18) The terrifying shriek of your speakers when they're only plugged in half way
19) The sound Windows makes when it encounters an error :C :C :C

Suggestions & Requests / Truce's buildable vehicles updates
« on: February 24, 2013, 03:11:18 PM »
Here's some things I think Buildable vehicles needs as far as updates goes, and if Truce won't do it, it'd be nice to have someone edit the mod themselves-
Remove or expand the build limits, right now there is a very limited amount of space to build with and you can't go off of or under the chassis at all
Make a toggle-able option to make the vehicle respawn with the bricks, and save/load that way
More chassises with more seats and planes/boats
More wheel options
Doing these three things at least would make the mod a thousand times better, when is someone going to do it? :I

Normally I'm not that into music video or anything, but this...
this is amazing

It's a cover of the skyfall theme by Adele. It's like- 40x better than the original and I can't stop listening to it
I love to just listen to it and pretend I can sing that good

Suggestions & Requests / Add-ons included with gamemodes
« on: February 11, 2013, 05:22:47 PM »
This topic was too old so I'm reposting it this way.
Why can't add-ons be included in gamemodes? It's really tedious having to find a list of required add-ons, and then downloading all of them in addition to the gamemode itself just to make it usable.
And if it isn't doable at the moment, then I think this should be added as an update to Blockland itself

Modification Help / Making enviroments and gamemodes
« on: February 11, 2013, 05:13:36 PM »
After Environments and gamemodes were added in the last couple updates, I've gradually been debating on trying to make some for myself. The only problem is, I don't exactly know how.
Well, that's not entirely true. gamemodes seem easy enough. The real trouble I'm having is with environments, since I couldn't find any topics with info on making those. Now I've never really scripted before, the most I've done was learning the basics of torque-script twice, but then losing just about all that knowledge because of a lack of practice. So if it requires scripting knowledge, I'll probably just give up now.
If not, how should I go about this? While I can probably figure out how to make the environment's pictures myself, are there any specific ways of doing it that would be good to know? What else would I need to know?
Or if one actually exists, could someone give me a link to a topic with all this info that I missed?

Suggestions & Requests / Fall-apart death animation
« on: February 08, 2013, 10:35:15 AM »
Watch the minifigure that is killed at 7:00.
This is what we need
We need a death animation that causes the player to fall apart in a bunch of different pieces.
This is one of the most suggested mods, and imo, one of the best. This would be fitting and would look great, if we could just get someone to make it.
EDIT- http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=224270.0
Now shumbody add color nowz

Creativity / Vegas movie studio 12
« on: February 01, 2013, 03:09:12 PM »
So I just recently got Vegas movie studio 11, only to find out that 12 just barley came out. But apparently I can upgrade to 12 if I bought 11 within 30 days of its release. Can someone help me figure out when movie studio 12 came out exactly? I'm not 100% sure I qualify for the upgrade
