Drama / Re: JesusFish- I'm stealing your build! Wait don't perma ban me!!

« on: November 26, 2010, 03:28:05 PM »

Since v19 the brick textures use whatever the host has instead of what you have. It's possible for them to change e.g. everything to blank.png or use Squideey's edited textures and you'll see it.

In any case banning him makes him angry and he'll be more likely to host that build. Let people save what they like - if you're concerned about ownership then put it in the Gallery or similar.

Add-Ons / Re: A pack of 24 negative lights.

How exactly do you suggest I go about achieving this request?

That was in response to the question about why these are needed. Instead of Destruct + normal lights to brighten small areas, it's also possible to have e.g. Construct/Normal lighting with then these to darken indoor areas/tunnels.

Having an area with natural/single-direction light spread out might look better than harsh brightness coming from specific centres.

This'd work for the operating system dialogs and Microsoft programs but 90% of other applications won't be built to support sudden transparency everywhere. (Blurring on headings, consistency of font, sudden change to white instead of black as default text colour)

Modification Help / Re: On player touch brick though coding. (or in zone, whichever)

« on: November 24, 2010, 03:16:08 PM »

The "enableTouch" is necessary but I don't think the other event is. It might end up cancelling the enable-touch if you then change the events on it without adding an onPlayerTouch one, though.

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Kick reasons.

« on: November 24, 2010, 01:54:30 PM »

The console command, ban with a reason or kick with a reason would all use exactly the same code for the actual "remove player and show a message". They'll just get the garbage symbols no matter what. I think a ban reason does display right when they try to rejoin, so a 5-10 minute one may work.

From Brick_Checkpoint:

Code: [Select]

function brickCheckpointData::onPlayerTouch(%data, %obj, %player)
{
   %client = %player.client;
   if(!isObject(%client))
      return;

   if(%client.checkPointBrick != %obj)
   {
      %client.checkPointBrick = %obj;
      %client.checkPointBrickPos = %obj.getPosition();
      commandToClient(%client, 'BottomPrint', "\c4Checkpoint reached! \c7- Say /clearCheckpoint to go back to the beginning", 3);

      Parent::onPlayerTouch(%data, %obj, %player);
   }
}

Don't use the StackSO for that. I pretty made it because I didn't know that SimSets existed or how to use them - it's kind of useful if you want to store other arbitrary variables, but when you're storing objects the SimSet mechanism is engine-based and more reliable.

Drama / Re: Scream. is Syntho.

If this was true then Syntho is pretty good at covering his tracks, what with the 72-page argument with himself.

Add-Ons / Re: Tier+Tactical Main Discussion Topic • Now with more RTB! Updated 7/30

« on: November 22, 2010, 10:24:20 AM »

it's tier 2 equivalent of course would be a pack of 8 sticks instead of 4

That seems boring. Make it like the MIRV grenade from Team Fortress Classic/the old trailer - one single dynamite pack that doesn't bounce much and has a normal Frag Grenade explosion after 2-3 seconds, then fires out the same mini-grenades that explode about a second later. Useful for anti-sentry.

Off Topic / Re: Why, Windows XP?

« on: November 21, 2010, 03:48:27 PM »

Unfortunately, if you be "getting off the computer for awhile"... Why you have IE and Desktop on XPTheme and Roblox, Chrome and Firefox (And some others) on the ClassicTheme.

What?

Also; why did you have a screenshot of the XPTheme if it changed. How would've you know this would happen.

The first one was most likely a picture from e.g. Google to show which theme he was actually talking about and to show the change when it becomes the Classic one.

General Discussion / Re: Paying for a dedicated BL server

« on: November 21, 2010, 03:32:30 PM »

The CPU usage is okay, but what kind of upload speeds and bandwidth do you have? I doubt one connection will be able to run 30 x 15-20 users at any sort of decent playability for those connected.

Help / Re: Custom studs

« on: November 21, 2010, 04:19:20 AM »

Due to a change in v18/v19, the brick textures used are now whatever the host has installed rather than what you have installed. Things like that will only work on your own server, but other people joining it will also see your custom images.

Modification Help / Re: Is there a way to multiply together the output of a loop?

« on: November 20, 2010, 07:07:45 AM »

Second one, you're missing an @ symbol between the %y, "=" and %sum.

You can also use the symbol SPC that automatically puts in a space when connecting strings:

Code: [Select]

%x = 3;
%y = 4;
echo(%x @ "+" @ %y @ "=" @ (%x + %y));

Output: 3+4=7

Code: [Select]

%x = 3;
%y = 4;
echo(%x SPC "+" SPC %y SPC "=" SPC (%x + %y));

Output: 3 + 4 = 7
