Creativity / Avatar pictoors
« on: December 31, 2011, 08:53:19 AM »
Well, I just made a few from the same general idea, so I wanted opinions on the idea.
This particular idea has been in my head for years, and I just wanted to get it out into the pixels.
Not sure if it'll be visible, so I'll probably be editing stuff to make it easier to see. However, can't tell yet.

Creativity / Crappy monowheel sketch
« on: December 10, 2011, 09:08:35 AM »
It sucks, but it's coming along in my head in terms of functionality. This version uses a rather strange but functional joint to make the inside of the monowheel be able to tilt independent of the outside. The black wheel is a flywheel, used to counter the torque of the actual tire. In another version that I did in pencil, which I no longer have, I used a foot pedal to change it from normal to reverse, but that's simple enough; a lever with the drive shaft in it; drive shaft goes to gear, universal joint makes drive shaft mobile. Gear engages with drive wheel or flywheel.
Note ye; I am using an attachment for it because the detail can be a little tougher to see than normal, so it can be downloaded faster, viewed in a different zoom level, etc. I know that the wheel itself is not perfect with the concentric rings, but I didn't have the patience/interest to make it perfect.
Also note, this is WIP. I'm just trying to get the idea out of my head.

If you see any glaringly stupid mistakes or parts that just wouldn't work, please tell me.

Suggestions & Requests / Brick Groups
« on: December 05, 2011, 01:49:38 PM »
I don't remember if I suggested this before, and if I did, it did not receive enough attention.
My proposition is that there would be two new things added; a box on the brick menu within which one would put brick group names, like the brick name box, except using commas to separate group names. The second part would be added event options targeting brickgroups, so one could do something that targets multiple bricks at the same time even if they have different names.

Another option, that would be in my opinion much simpler and easier for creation but necessary for Badspot to add, would be to have the default namedbrick event option changed so that you can specify multiple bricks.

General Discussion / Blockland group on Flickr
« on: November 12, 2011, 07:57:35 AM »
I just figured that I might as well look for a Blockland group on Flickr and there is one. However, it has been inactive since the early early early versions (2005-2006). There's still some pretty cool stuff by Mocheeze and a very informative picture by "Rititundo."
I was wondering about this, and if it could be kept alive, if normal blockheads like me could join it, etc.
Here's the link to the group:

Gallery / Small WIP Stylized build
« on: November 07, 2011, 07:38:01 PM »
I think it turned out...
Quaint.







Updating Blockland messed with my screenshot numbers and I'm too la/stupid/zy to fix.
Also, I did turn the quality up, but something went wrong, as far as I can see. It looks a bit granulated and crappy.

Anyway, the style of this build is rather different. I tried a number of new techniques, and they look nice in my opinion.

Please express your opinion of this build by typing a fraction signifying the percentage of satisfaction that you would feel if this build was your own.

Try misinterpreting that.

Suggestions & Requests / 1x1 brick projectile
« on: October 04, 2011, 03:40:21 PM »
I'll gladly script it if anyone gets me the model. I'm too much of an idiot to figure out how to get from .blb to .dts so if anyone is interested, please go ahead.

I'm not sure exactly what this would be best used for, but for shrapnel in certain builds, this would certainly be cool.

Drama / Myself
« on: September 03, 2011, 08:06:53 AM »
I think I'm turning into a troll.
I broke it banging my head against the wall that is you.
No, I enjoy arguing too much. I'll do better in the future.
I did think that it was rather silly for someone as well known as you to be trolling like that, but there's always the possibility.
I hate how people have malnourished, underdeveloped senses of humor.
I will give up. I will not lose any more of my IQ banging my head against the brick wall that is Tokthree.
I'm still giving constructive criticism, trying not to offend that many people, but still, when stuff like this pops up, I start to have to look myself over and wonder what I'm doing. Discuss.

Gallery / Mini Afghan (With pics on Construct)
« on: September 02, 2011, 08:50:55 PM »
Another build. This one I made a long while back and have been continually rediscovering for a long while as well. It's a simple little build, originally a practice for the afghan style, which I have not mastered, and I think I used to be better at, but that's not the point. I've tried it out as a bot fight arena, and I added little jump and/ornot addvelocity events for the bots, so that they leapt from rooftop to rooftop. Of course, there aren't many, but the general effect was to have much more seemingly intelligent knife fighting bots.

Pictures


Duplicated to make interiors visible.


And then a picture that turned out so damn cool that I had to include it.

Now some light pictures on Construct.





And that's all.

Modification Help / Group Events
« on: September 01, 2011, 08:14:32 PM »
This may sound like some sort of misplaced topic, but it's not.
I am attempting to make a couple events, both of which should be rather simple. However, they aren't as simple as they looked when I thought them up.
The events I wanted were SetBrickGroup and FireGroupRelay. These would allow some pretty interesting stuff to happen; it would basically be another brick name. I think this would be relatively useful, and I have needed it for a build before, but I cannot remember the occasion.
So.

I am stupid about these things. I was looking at another script for reference, as I am unable to stand alone; the setBrickName event, by Destiny. However, that modifies an already stated default variable. I need to use a new one.
VCE is a little cryptic for me, though. I can only identify single lines for the events, and that doesn't make any sense to me, as all other events I have seen take up at least 3 or 4 lines.

Is what I need to do just something like $This.group = "Name"; ?

I apologize for my ignorance. It bugs me too.
I'm just trying to pull myself ahead.

Note that these events are supposed to apply to groups of bricks, not clients or players or anything.

Modification Help / Music making/remixing
« on: September 01, 2011, 07:32:11 PM »
I don't know where to begin to start looking for programs that'll be good for this kind of thing. I'll probably try out whatever is the general consensus for what I should use.

Help / Trust and two accounts
« on: August 31, 2011, 03:10:12 PM »
I have two separate accounts; Katadeus and Feral. They are separately purchased and on separate computers. This is only the case because my parents are separate too.
There is one issue that I have always had: trust.
I am frequenting Badspot's server, and just now I got on the server as Feral. I can't build on my own bricks.
However, I can't send myself a trust invite, either. In any case, I wouldn't be able to accept it.
What can I do? Anything?

Gallery / Block Party Underground Base
« on: August 29, 2011, 05:34:42 PM »
I built this over the course of several days, and I am very satisfied with the result.

First, we have a general overview of what I built.


The entrance is protected by a very simple little code mechanism. Click the four bricks to change their color to either black or red; the right combination opens the door.


Down a short hallway is a cozy little area with some kitchen and living room stuff.


Bunk beds that can be slept in. Unfortunately, due to glitchiness with crouch-sitting, when you do so, your perspective goes above the ceiling. Oh well.


Here's the water elevator and a few windows that peek out of the terrain.


The hallway to the challenge, and a little evented opinions thing. I clicked the dislike button a few times just to check its functionality. It is, unfortunately, spammable, and there is no way to make it not work for the same person twice on the block party.


A little hole in the wall that has a treasure brick in it. The treasure brick acts like a miniature sun, which is why there's grass growing there. I don't know why I did that, I just liked the idea.


The challenge area. I won't reveal what's within it, because that would make it a lot less interesting. The challenge is quite fast once you know how to do it. I've done it all the way through three or four times.


Poetry turtle. Most boss thing since Lord Vader.


There are a few hidden treasure bricks around the build. You'll find them if you look hard enough, but not otherwise. One of them is nearly, and don't misquote me, NEARLY impossible to get without jetting, but I managed it. Sounds kinda pathetic, but it really isn't.
Please rate on a scale of one to ten, and nothing stupid like "OVER NEIN FOUNTAIN!!!!!!" or whatever it is that you young people say these days. Also, if you would complete the challenge or try out the poetry turtle (with an exclusive, original poem) or rate the build with it's built-in rating system, I would greatly appreciate it.

Forum Games / Re: whatever.
« on: August 29, 2011, 08:22:17 AM »
The person below me is a gutless pig. A lousy excuse for a moron. They're so stupid that their brain shriveled up and they vomited it out. They have nostrils the size of Canada. They stink of pomegranate juice and eggnog, due to a rare intestinal disease. They got harpooned in a lake because their own mother mistook them for a whale. Their heart is that of an anchovy, and their spleen is from an octopus. They play no instrument but the sackbut. (If you doubt me, look it up.) Their face could launch a thousand ships, granted that the ships were attempting to escape of their own accord. They are so fat that they must be fed by forklift.
They are silly.

Creativity / Blockhead sketches
« on: August 27, 2011, 10:42:39 AM »
The idea for this thread was sparked a while ago on the akimbo hammers topic, which had a sketch drawn by Feep of the desired weapon, wielded by a stylized blockhead. Drawing here.

It didn't look like anyone else really appreciated the sketch, but I did. Just today, I saw a piece of paper and a pencil and thought "why not."

Unfortunately, when I scanned it, the lines got very faint in some places, but the drawing itself turned out quite nicely.
Please post any sketches (of blockheads) that you wish, and keep them tasteful and appropriate.
I may add the best ones right here.

I wouldn't like any parodical scribblings on my topic, and constructive criticism on the drawings would be appreciated.

Here are some of the others that I drew.

Games / Small Worlds
« on: August 21, 2011, 08:28:24 PM »
I found this game on a website full of randomly inappropriate and/or humorous stuff, and was completely shocked. It's a beautiful game.
If you read this and don't play the game I will have no more respect for you. I will track down every single person who read this thread and tell them that I do not respect them.
