General Discussion / Re: Blockland is NOT dead
« on: June 21, 2017, 12:40:11 PM »
I think you can see why people think the game is dead. I mean, the population drop has definitely been apparent in-game and on the forums. Even without the statistics.
Personally, I really don't enjoy the game that much anymore either. At least not so much out side of my own server. It's for sure a different game when I started playing it in 2008, and well it is what it is I suppose. I think a lot of new players are just daunted by the complex mods and builds the more experienced players put out. Sure there are some freebuild servers and places for new players to do whatever, but I haven't really seen any new players doing anything that "new." They all just seem jump on this collective mindset of improving on what has been done and get bored trying. I really miss players making things like the default saves (both from pre-v21 and now). Like Beta City or that city on the counter on Kitchen, and I think the absence of those simpler but fun builds being created has made new players less interested. I dunno. When i started playing blockland there just seemed to be new and exciting things happening every day. Now? Not so much.

More people stuff on this forum than actually playing the game. lol
Also I'd agree with this, and I'd say a lot of our community on the forums is just toxic. Like seriously, I can't read the drama board without wanting to die.

there is literally no point in running both. you also will likely screw up your preferences if you do run both together.

Does Glass have a colorset loader? I only keep RTB installed for that, but I hate it.

OT: Get Glass

For Returning Players:
SubRosa recently went back on sale after roughly three months. The player base had a small explosion in the last two weeks, and the developer is quite close to releasing the next update, v26. If you want to see images of v26 check out Crypticsea's twitter.

Games / Sub Rosa Alpha v25 (Available for purchase, again. v26 potentially soon) {Poll}
« on: March 28, 2017, 11:30:01 PM »

General Overview
SubRosa is a game focused on your wits. Your goal is to join a company and make as much money as you can through any means necessary. The game features a total of five companies each with their own name and color. The game is played in an open city where players can purchase or steal cars from the AI and other players.

Gameplay Basics
In SubRosa there are two basic categories of missions: PVP and PVE. The first category of missions, PVP, comprises of player organized business deals. These deals involve two to three player-run companies having to negotiate buying and selling information discs between each other. There are five colors of discs. Each disc has its own value, depending on the mission. (Gold discs are always the most valuable, and red is usually the least important) The second mission category, PVE, involves one or more companies hunting down an information disc from an NPC organization. The discs can either be inside an NPC company building, or riding around in an armed limo. More than one company can be sent after an NPC owned disc, which sometimes leads to some crazy firefights.

Weapons
The weapons in SubRosa are unlike anything I've seen in any other games. The reload system takes some getting used to, as you have to manage both of your player's hands instead of pressing a single button. It really is difficult once you first start playing, but it adds an interesting level of depth to combat. Weapons are purchased inside your corresponding company's base or at weapon shops.

The Companies
Each company is distinguished by the color of the tie and/or suit of the player. MegaCorp, the NPC faction, can be identified by a suit with no tie.
OXS International (Black)
Monsota (Blue)
Nexaco (Red)
Goldman (Yellow/Gold)
Pentacom (White)
MegaCorp (NPC Faction)
Last I checked, MegaCorp is also the name of a SubRosa clan, who typically chooses OXS as their company; if mentioned through the in-game missions, the game is referencing the NPC faction.

Gameplay/Media

There's also a discord for the game, but I'm too lazy to track that down. You could likely find the link on reddit.

Buying The Game
SubRosa is currently in Alpha version 25, on sale for $19.99 USD

Steam

Original SubRosa
SubRosa was created back in roughly 2011 for an indie game development competition, and the originals can still be played for free. (Just know, the old versions are drastically different from the current game.)
You can check old SubRosa here.

Personal Comments
SubRosa is definitely an interesting game, though a lot of the experience is up to the player. It should also be kept in mind that the developer takes his time. He has a reputation of making very fun games, but never completing them.
With SubRosa you can at least have a little more faith, because it's a lot further along than the majority of his games and it's actually on steam with a consistent player base.
I'd also like to say that I skipped over a lot of information while making this first iteration of this topic. If you have any interest in finding out the specifics of the game, the two videos I provided demonstrate the game very well. I will likely make a couple of updates to this topic, depending on the attention it receives.

Suggestions & Requests / Anti item-drop mod (locked)
« on: March 28, 2017, 03:26:49 PM »
Is there a mod that lock player inventories so they cannot drop their items with cntrl w?
If so, could someone link me to said mod?

If not, I'm sure it would be well appreciated if someone made such a mod.

I'm not "good" but I'd like to queue for some chill games if anyone's up to it.

Sub Rosa. i almost never see players on this anymore.
essentially you need to get disks or sell disks to get $$$. getting disks almost always ends in a gunfight, either between you and other players or you and the AI in a building.
it's still in early access and is expected to release 2017 but the dev is slow on updates which seems to have turned people away.
steam page (can't buy from here but its got a description)
demo downloads
where you can actually purchase the game (mark yes on question 5)
also someone made a bot that tweets whenever a server has players

You can't purchase copies of this game until it comes out.
It is really fun though, anyone interested should follow its development.
Just be warned, the developer has delayed the game quite a few times.
Here's his twitter.

Help / Re: I (technically) can't host an online server. please help.
« on: August 20, 2016, 01:42:04 PM »
I've been having an issue similar to this as well, though I did portforward.
Anyone who I have had test this says they just get stuck at "connection accepted"

Also, are you able to join your own server?

Add-Ons / Re: Blockland Glass 3.0.0 - Chat
« on: August 19, 2016, 03:11:32 PM »
I've been having an issue with the server preferences not actually saving. I set my preferences in the blg gui but none of it saves

Edit: It appears I was using the version before 3.0.0 so I'll test this again.

I re-installed and it works fine.
