Suggestions & Requests / Re: Get rid of cache.db

Cache.db is about 3x faster than downloading shapes to your add-ons folder. Removing something this useful because 1% of people's machines doesn't like it is counter intuitive.

General Discussion / Re: Do you remember the first thing you did?
« on: December 20, 2013, 01:06:18 PM »
Back in April of 2009 I bought Blockland with the dream to create the best Lego city. I had no thought of "roleplaying" or "gamemodes" but I slaved for weeks in singleplayer on the most nostalgic thing I could even think of to this date. It was a very large city, but not the Lego cities you see today. It consisted of ground-level lots and included the basic buildings of a city. It included a hospital, an airport, a gun shop, my house, a city hall, a pool, and a garage of some sort. I remember it surprisingly well for being over 4 years ago, a small fragment of my childhood.
I had no idea how to host it at the time. I opened the server publicly for nearly a month, just hoping that 1 player would join eventually. I had no clue the forums were for anything other than downloading add-ons and sat there in my empty server with the ping of "???" thinking that people simply didn't want to play on a city run by some newbie. About to give up on Blockland I decided to join a multiplayer game. I opened up the server list, sorted the servers by brickcount, and clicked the highest server on the server list. A CityRPG.
I wondered around the server aimlessly hammering people, paying no attention to the chat or my surroundings. I would usually get jailed for 1 tick, get back out, and start hammering again but one day I found an illegal turret brick. I stood on the brick and blew myself up a few times until I realized I could use it to kill others players. I got 6 ticks in jail which felt like forever so I disconnected and went to the next server on the list. It too, happened to be a CityRPG. Not just any other CityRPG, but a MetropolisRPG.
I first spawned and spent 20 minutes ghosting. I liked watching the city slowly materialize in the distance until the deafening noise of the bricks loading around me forced me to turn down my volume. I continued my shenanigans of hammering people but this time I remember a player's name. Their name was "RMS Titanic" or something similar and they were building a red brick building below street level. Around this time I started to get the grasp of CityRPG's. I figured out how to use banks and started depositing my paychecks and saving up for a gun vending machine outside of a WIP casino. Before I figured out you had to enter "3" in chat instead of just taking out the third brick in your cart. After what seemed like a week I finally had enough cash for a regular gun. Though, the owner of the casino had not been on for a while so I simply got a message saying "The owner if this brick is not licensed to sell guns" loosing most of my money.

Just got my Windforce GTX 770 today. Plopped it in, ran just nice. Got up to 82° C in my desk's cabinet while running benchmarks. Moved my case out of my desk's computer cabinet and it ran at 51° C. Guess I'll never put it in there again.

« on: December 17, 2013, 07:14:50 PM »I can replicate this.
Start or join any game, open the Steam overlay, switch to another window, switch back.
I'm not 100% sure if this happens in fullscreen, or if this exact form of the issue happens to everyone.
The broken keyboard input is caused by players clicking out of or Alt-Tabbing out of Blockland while the Steam overlay is open.Happens in windowed too.

- DInputDevice::syncKeyboardState - DIERR_NOTACQUIRED - Some users report their keyboard itermittently fails to reactivate with this error. I can't duplicate this, more info required I guess.
