Suggestions & Requests / Poisonous Air
« on: April 22, 2013, 01:24:33 AM »
I had an idea for a Metro 2033 RP and realized theres no way of maxing toxic air in BL.
So pretty much how this would work is act similar to how lava and water are placed.
The player can adjust the height of how high the toxic air can be and anything above that height slowly dies unless there is a gasmask equipped.
Oh and perhaps an option to choose how much damage the air does and the delay between entering the air so you can be warned to equip your gasmask. One idea of warning the player that they are entering the toxic areas are that they will emit a breath holding sound and perhaps the air would make them choke every so often.

Drama / Enough with these hijackings
« on: April 16, 2013, 10:45:18 PM »
As some of you have seen (unluckily I suppose) DrMaxwell had his account hijacked and had begun posting research and gore on the forum. These hijacks have been getting frequent in the last few months, it seems every month or two someone goes around hijacking accounts. During these events administrators or moderators have not been around to ban these users quickly enough to prevent spamming, I however do not know if they have been DDoS'd or they are just busy when this happens though.
One of the main problems is having the forum user's account hijacked though despite the images, and it's very annoying being banned for something you did not intentionally do.
In the beginning I thought this was something that would easily pass and just be a one time deal but it seems that this may be going on for a while, so while I was hiding from the disgusting images I was thinking about ways to prevent these further attacks.

More Admins/Moderators
I know that there are 2 Moderators and 1 Admin, but it seems that there are not enough around when stuff like this happens so I just ask if there is any possible way we could get more Admins on or if we could give Moderators banning rights. I don't think however that members of our community should be given such rights as they could be abusive in the wrong or stupid hands.
Topic Limit
One idea I had was due to the spam topics on the Drama and Off Topic sections, I think that there should be some sort of Topic Limit implemented. Say for example people can only post a certain number of topics within say 24 hours, after that they may begin to post again. Im not sure if it is possible but it would be a nice anti-spam idea.
Lock Your threads
If your thread is a huge target for spammers I suggest you lock them until the spammers have been banned. ShadowsFear made a smart choice (even if creativity wasn't spammed it was a good idea) Locking your topics keeps spammers out and will shield it and also leaving less cleanup for admins.
Find this hijacker(s) and put an end to it.
I may not know much about proxies and IP addresses and whatnot but I think we should try to figure out who keeps doing this to the forums. One of my theories is that it's an old forum member trying to get "Revenge" on badspot or the forums. Although there is not much I can go off of I did find one clue that ties all the other past hijackings together:
On each unfortunate user's profile, the signature has been changed to say "The storm is coming"
If you have any other theories on who might be doing this pool them together here and maybe we can get an idea of who's doing this.
Thanks for reading.

Games / Zombie Master 2 (Beta)
« on: March 17, 2013, 09:33:16 PM »
Zombie master was originally a mod for HL2 which was a mix of a real time strategy and a first person shooter. One player was selected to be the zombie master who spawned zombies, traps, and other events through an RTS perspective, the other players however were put into an FPS perspective and forced to endure the zombie master and his nefarious schemes.
Sadly the mod has been dead for a while and was a huge shame to see it go, I had alot of fond memories on it and had alot of fun playing it.
But today, after 3 years of development, the beta has been released for the sequel!

General Discussion / Things you get sick of seeing in Blockland
« on: January 20, 2013, 08:20:29 PM »
Wether it be in-game or on the forums, I keep getting sick of seeing certain items or other things on Blockland.
For example I'm tired of seeing:
Minecraft stuff or recreations
Bland Weapon packs
People who whine over hands on weapons
Poor balancing in TDMs
RP servers and Jail Servers (Unless they're done right or something new)
So go ahead and post stuff you just don't like seeing on BL, maybe we can work together to not make this stuff show up anymore?

Yep. Due to a recent breakthrough apparently.

(Yeah its SourceFed I don't know anybody's opinions on it but eh.)
http://www.firstpost.com/politics/have-scientists-made-a-breakthrough-in-cure-for-aids-590426.html
This is where they got the info from.
However it doesn't exactly remove the virus from the system it just protects the cells from it, and it has passed all tests so far.
Any thoughts? also holy stuff guys Africa gonna be happy.

General Discussion / Frostbyte's Capture Point Minigame [BETA]
« on: November 12, 2012, 04:42:12 PM »ABOUT
A while ago I was bored and decided to make a TDM because, why the hell not. After experimenting with weapons and addons to use I had a sudden urge to use Medieval and pirate weapons and wondered if they could make a good competitive mini game.
So I made a decent sized map (which I will expand later) added some spawns and some pirate cannons on both sides for extra defense ;) and made up 4 classes aswell, each with their own downsides and advantages.
CLASSES
- Knight
- Spearman
- Archer
- Pirate
THE OBJECTIVE
Instead of doing what other Minis seem to be doing nowadays, I decided to give you guys something to do to work as a team and not low wolves all the time.There are 3 Capture points, one close to both spawns and one in the middle subject to cannon fire from both sides.
If all three points are captured and held for 1 minute then that team will win and the other will walk away in shame.
However you have 10 minutes to complete this and if neither team does you both fail.

When is this hosted?
I will try to host this on Weekends because of school, however if I get a dedicated server running it will be open 24/7
Are you open to suggestions?
Yes, Im open to what you have to say as long as it's constructive criticism.
Can I be admin?
HAHAHAHA. NO.
Why is this Medieval/Pirate themed? Nobody will like this! (Actual quote from someone who joined my server)
Modern stuff seems a bit overdone and I like Ye Old way of war. (Mostly)
Will you update the map and will you be on the server?
I will update it if I find any exploits or bugs, and I will try to be on as much as I can.
SERVER INFO
Open on Weekends, and sometimes weekdays.
GALLERY
Theres nothing much to take pictures of, if you took any submit them and I'll place them here.
Sorry :c

« on: November 11, 2012, 03:02:18 PM »
Hey, I was thinking trying to see if I could host a dedicated server and a tutorial said I needed the dedicated.bat file but it's not in my programs.
Do I need to download this or make it? Plus if I do have to make it please give me directions.

Off Topic / Can't change files to Read Only files
« on: October 15, 2012, 04:23:53 AM »
Recently I went to go view some images from a folder and noticed a bunch of them had changed to shortcuts, after looking on Google and eventually was told that i had to make the file read only.
However whenever I try to click on the General tab I get this error message that says "target name is not valid" I tried looking on Google some more for help but got none, so do any of you guys know how to fix this? I'll lock this topic once I fix it.
