Don't just copy my mod and rename stuff. Doesn't anyone read the License for these things?

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Removing Paint Particles
« on: November 02, 2007, 04:07:10 PM »
I'm making/testing code right now. It makes all the paintcans (not FX) use the Rainbow particles/explosion and deletes the other effects. It still has the projectile and weaponimage for both, if I managed to delete them you could save 128 or so datablocks. (If you had a full paint set)
You could always disable a few add-ons. Try not to download stupid vehicles which include a Support_ file which creates a lot of datablocks already existing in the Jeep, but under new names, or weapons which use exactly the same effects as the Gun but rename them. (For Dual Guns I used "copied" datablocks i.e. forcing exec of Gun, removing it from menu if add-on is disabled, and using most of those datablocks)
EDIT: Aargh, it crashes the game when you paint stuff. (Projectile hit not when you get it out) Abnormal Program termination...

You can't make it follow a person's name. The name doesn't exist as an object. You can make it follow Player objects, though. (Checking whether they have a client)

What lets you get around your blocks may not work on his school PC.
Try Firefox Portable? If your school uses a online FTP system/etc for files, try installing that on your home PC then moving the folder into your area of the FTP.

Suggestion for the RPG: Give people something to do. An "RPG" is not interesting if you put everyone in a box as they join the minigame. People generally leave uninteresting RPGs. Maybe visit your own server more often?

« on: November 02, 2007, 02:50:54 PM »Code: [Select]
%i = new TSStatic(){
shapefile = gunItem.shapefile;
position = [POSITION];
}TSStatics are more limited than Static Shapes but don't need datablocks. They're the ones spawned by F11/F4/Static Shapes.

Post your console.log file in the Blockland Folder (C:/Program Files/Blockland) after getting a C++ error. It sounds like you have a glitched prefs file...

I'd have it a trigger maker tool, hit two points and it's stretched between them if they aren't extremely far apart or very thin on one axis. (Then a JVS-like GUI pops up for setting the kind of Zone, you can't pick up the tool if you don't have the mod)

Suggestions & Requests / Re: Portal Gun
« on: November 01, 2007, 03:54:09 PM »I wonder if you can do the looking-through thing by making the portal a viewscreen of a camera mounted on the other portal, and switch them around so that Camera A shows at Portal B and Camera B shows at Portal A.
Not possible? I don't know jack about TorqueScript. :P
Quote
The rear view mirror code [and PlayGUI/Camera view drawing code] would be completely different to code for making a see-through portal. You cannot force clients to draw textures and primitives (Basic lines and pictures in the 3d world) without client commands. Drawing a view or surface stretched to fit a set of co-ordinates would be impossible.

False.
Next person knows how to use basic Torquescript and has coded something other than a basic Weapon, Vehicle or Particle Effect.

What actually happened when you painted the brick? Did the bricks start glowing different colours on a timer or was it just Red, Blue or Green extra paints?
