Modification Help / Re: Global Tick Schedule for Zones?

« on: February 27, 2011, 08:32:38 AM »

Well doing a container search multiple times a second on many bricks will get laggy.
The onVehicleTouch events did something similar and got failbinned.

I think this just supports the local routine even more. If you have 100 trigger zones, would it not be better to have each zone firing off independently as opposed to them all going off at once?

In ZAPT, the Zombies think at different paces. The typical thinking time is 500ms, so the Director schedules out their thoughts over that span. If there are 50 zombies out and about, there will be a 10ms lapse between each zombie thought schedule. This was added to reduce workload and I think there was a noticeable increase in speed.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: [Engine Change] Dynamic Skybox

Of course this was a long time ago and i'm sure badspot has broken it many times now.

Interesting. The deleting and remaking the skybox works fantastic and it does re-render brick shadows as expected. If he would just do Solution #2 hacking up the network is not required and the way I'm doing it now would work without any problems.

I really do wonder what it is about me that draws so much heated argument. I'm either a caustic individual or just unlucky.

I never said you pretend to be anything to begin with.

He's one of those virtual though guy real life pussies.

stuff, dude. You're making such a god damn big deal out of it even though that wasn't directly directed to you.

The post in question is directly following a comment asking who I am.

Ever heard about reading between the lines?

You're either handicapped or this is a desperate attempt to eject from the situation by saying "You fool! This was all sarcasm!"
Either way, I strongly suggest walking away at this point.

Dear, it always matters. Everything you do defines who you are. Now that isn't to say every small mistake you make or insult you throw compromises your entire character, and that also isn't to say what you do should never be forgetten and always remain permanent. Growing is a large part of who you are as well. But just because you don't know who your talking to doesn't mean you shouldn't care. In fact, it is in those times when you should especially care. A mask may hide who you are, but it certainly doesn't hide what you do.

Meh. Take from it what you will. You seem like a fine fellow. Nice talking with you. c:

I just got 1-upped.

So you're the same Iban that was saying how he would kill himself "by either a high speed collision or gun to head" on his 18th birthday?

Correct.

Citation please?

Japan is actually 5th.^[1][2] My bad.

You're even agreeing with my point so what's the problem?

I do not pretend to be a tough-guy nor am I a pusillanimous individual in the real world. Your statement was wrong. You refuse to acknowledge you made a brash generalization about a person you haven't spoken to or heard from in 4 years. You're a douche.

If that's true, he's as inconsiderate as he acts to be.

Hey, give me a break here. The topics I tend to gouge at aren't exactly sensitive ones. People are used to having their ideologies called into question on the Internet. If all I can do is insult Baby Jesus and you get visibly upset over that, you're doing it wrong.

A week ago a girl added me on Steam that had serious hormonal issues. She was 14, a weeaboo, covered in thick hair/fur, and fatter than I am. I could have literally gotten this girl to blow her brains out. I wanted to point out so much that the only reason she watched Anime was due to the fact that Japan is the furthest you can get from America without living in a mud hut. It's another culture that is still civilized with all the amenities of the modern world that could be the solution to all her problems. Yet, Japan is a misogynistic, child enthusiast-tolerant country with the highest Self Delete rate in the world from it's demands of over-achievement. I could have told her this. I could have also told her that nobody will ever love her except for a man that is equally desperate for affection and equally as gross as she is.

But I didn't. I kept quiet and I lied to her about how things get better after highschool.

And I think, when you can demonstrate a little bit of restraint and good will towards (wo)man when it matters, that's what defines who you are. Not how much you bicker over the mechanics of a lego zombie mod on a forum for children.

The last time I've seen you was what, three, four years ago?
Yesterday was the first time after a while again that I meet up with you. I've been away for one/two months two days ago and you're saying I'm harassing you and that I'm a douche?

It's not my fault that you're actually writing it that you're a "gud boi" in real life even though everyone else knows you as an starfish and a badmin.

I'm not sure if there's a language barrier here or if you're just handicapped.

lol
you must be a cigarettet

So it is fun to insult and argue with them because you can easily pretend that they aren't hurt? :o

Almost. I can easily not care.

How much would anyone like to bet that this is all BS? 

Not a penny. The birthday story has a lot more detail to it but if you spoke to the right person you'd know what it was about. God I hate that bitch.

It's common knowledge sympathy is hard to come by on the Blockland forums.
I figured you would've picked that up by now.

There's a difference between not sympathizing and outright attacking me on an unrelated subject. WhoDa is holding some sort of grudge against me.

lern2say no
or else people will use that against you.

I always say no

I'm easily taken advantage of because I'm so nice :( You have no idea how much grocery money I've given away to charities.

So you just don't like seeing them upset. But you are perfectly willing to hurt someone. :o

Eh, not quite. It's fun arguing and insulting people online because a) it's almost like psychological warfare, trying to dig your nails into someone, b) as far as I know you guys could all be robots and we all know robot emotions are synthetic.

On my birthday I wanted to rip this girl's ovaries out so I said probably the cruelest string of words I had ever come up with and she cried. Alligator tears, of course, but I crumbled all the same.

Keyword here is "the Internet."

I don't have to see people become upset over the Internet.

Apparently, so are you, seeing as you've been banned twice before.

Flawless logic.

I don't know who you are, nor do I know why you're harassing me less than 24 hours into the forum, but you're a douche.

I'm told Greek Orthodox is where it's at now-a-days.

Just suck it up and say no, you don't have to denounce their "faith", but you certainly don't have to join them in their funfairs.

You don't understand.

This woman's kid is my age and he's sucked into schoolwork. That's all he does. 20 hours at a time he's cramming math. She's using me as some sort of emotional crutch and I have no valid reason to stay out of church affairs.

Don't go to church.


While I was living at my grandparent's house and bored as stuff because I did not have my computer, my grandmother extended the invitation to go to Sunday School to try and socialize me. I saw it as an opportunity to break into a religious girl's panties, and a way to entertain my muse of understanding Christians better so I can mock them on the Internet, and accepted.

Now, it might not seem like it, but I'm a very meek and modest human being. I speak softly and am nonbelligerent. I don't like upsetting others and I keep to myself.


Knowing this, you can understand how my grandmother introducing me and giving my cellphone number to every man, woman, child and domesticated animal on the church property so they can personally invite me with their pseudo-upbeat mannerisms to church events is a bit of a problem. I can't say no. I simply can't. I live in a society where not believing in their magic book and hocus pocus angsty miracle worker is tantamount to screaming the communist manifesto while doing a Mexican sombrero dance on top of a muddied american flag while torching a copy of the constitution on a Sunday with an Obama campaign t-shirt on. To let these really nice evangelicals know that someone who has become so integral in their church is nothing less than a far-left atheist would destroy a part of them.

On top of that, they always bait me in with food.
"Heeey Joshua, we just wanted to let you know that we're having a COOK-OUT on Sunday at noon. You'd be interested in coming, right?"

I go there because I can't say no. I want to say no. I've lost 10 pounds in February alone by simply detailing every calorie I shove into my mouth and I have no loving clue how much a BBQ Rib has in it and it TEARS AT MY SOUL to eat something I can't properly document when I get home.


Don't go to church.
