Use quark?

How would that make any difference?
I already got the .dif meaning I compiled the map, so Quark would just give me the exact same .dif

Awesomeness! I am so in..
Let's have a deal shall we?
How about the winner of the event (if it's a non USSR member) gets to be in USSR?

Mapping Help / (Invalid packet.(ghost registering object))

« on: April 08, 2007, 11:15:36 PM »

Hello.
I've made a map in Hammer, and I've compiled it an got the dif.
Problem is, each time I go into the mission editor, and try to put my dif onto the terrain, I get disconnected from my own server with the following error:
(Invalid packet.(ghost registering object))
Any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?
(I've used the same textures that Blockland uses, so I had no need to move any textures into the Interiors folder.)
Please help.
Thank you.

The funny thing is, it was going to be a cat at first, but too many people thought is was some sort of dinosaur thing so he changed it to one. 8/10 for quick thinking.

Hey hey hey, what goes on in the server, stays in the server. ;)

General Discussion / Re: Old style builds

« on: April 07, 2007, 09:44:42 PM »

Here is a summarization of the thread:
Old style builds are very popular in retail blockland because we are using basic blocks to build them.
We wouldn't be able to build the most up to date designed building with normal lego because it's pretty much impossible.
you can still think out of the box though and build something that will be unexpected and imaginative.
Here are some examples:
http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=15235.0
http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=15306.0
http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=15349.0
http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?topic=15365.0
If you notice, on the dinasour, you steel see the blocky style.
As good as people who built in Legoland may be, if you search Legoland builds on google, you do get pretty creative stuff, but again, you see the "blocky" feel to it which can't be changed.
Old style builds are popular because they use that same "blocky" feel in a way that doesn't really show it, and looks like a real building back from the "old times".
Feel free to add or argue towards my post.

Yeah I'm on a laptop..
I think the real problem is those cards don't like OpenGL.
Because when I try to run OpenGL games the performance is quite horrid.
they seem to run every Direct3D (or was it DirectX?) game with no flaws whatsoever.
I remember someone said that a Torque game was converted into Direct3D (x?) format, so if anyone knows how to do that, or how to make my card more OpenGL friendly that would really help.

Clan Discussion / Re: Reasons to stop making applications for building clans

Yeah that's what I said, even if your sure you can get in, take a look at other apps that got rejected, if you think you can build better than that, go for it. but before posting it on the forums as an app, maybe ask people on your server if they think it will get you in or not.

Your just pissed off about Nugi's USSR apps aren't ya?
I mean, I think it's ok that they want to apply, but let's just put it this way, before you apply, search the forums for apps that got rejected, than, if you are 100% sure that you can make it, go ahead.
Don't try to make an app that is crappier than the one's already failed.
Maybe ask people on the server if they think your app could make it or not.
But I don't see a reason for them to stop posting apps.
Just don't look at it as a USSR app, and look at it as a build that's just being posted on forums for fun.
Besides, I noticed if you put USSR app in the title people really comment on the build alot even if it's crappier than builds that were just posted on the forums for fun, so that also sorta pisses me off.
So basically I sorta agree AND disagree with you. :)

Help / Underperfomance

« on: April 07, 2007, 12:28:15 PM »

Hello.
It seems to me that my graphic card is really starting to under perform when it comes to blockland.
I'm as of now lagging at anything with more than 3 thousand bricks, and my FPS does NOT go above 100.   I don't understand why because as I've said many times before that I can run BF2142 on medium settings just fine, blockland should be nothing compared to that. (no offense?)
I've also came across people that have a much crappier comp than me, yet can run blockland better *cough* Wedge *cough*
So if anyone could please help me, that would be great.
I have attached my Dxdiag file to this post.
---> A few people told me to update my drives, problem is, I can't, I can't find the correct drives...
I'm running Windows XP pro, yet my graphic card (ATI Radeon Xpress 1100) is only found under the Windows Vista column.
I also tried downloading the general "Mobile" drive, but that doesn't seem to help either.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hello.
My name is Partizan on Blockland, and I go by Spartan300 on the forums.
I am very sorry about this whole mess, I apologize with all my heart, and hope that you still forgive me.
I really like your clan and still want to be in it, no matter what it takes.
I realize that I may have done some wrong things, that would tick you off, but everyone make mistakes sometimes.
I have edited all of my posts, and again I am really sorry.
I don't know what might have pissed you off to that extent, and if it was because this thread is ruined, that can be fixed with a bit of editing, or you could remake the thread.
I really hope you reconsider about what you said and still let me apply.
I'm very sorry.
Partizan.
