Suggestions & Requests / Sports Referee Whistle

« on: March 13, 2013, 01:42:48 PM »

Can someone make a referee whistle? It would be a player item that is near your blockhead's mouth and when you left click, it makes a loud whistle. This would be really cool for all kinds of Blockland sports. Thanks if anyone is willing to make it.

Suggestions & Requests / Bowling balls and bowling pins.

« on: February 19, 2013, 12:59:38 PM »

It would be really cool if someone could make a bowling bowl as an inventory item that could actually work. Here is how I think it should work. When you have the ball in your hand and you hold down left click, you should see a regular bowling throwing motion, this could either use default animations or a custom animation. If you throw it too soon, it will slam to the ground rather than sliding. If you throw it too late, the bowling ball will go really slow. But if you time it just right then it will go fast. Maybe if you throw it only a little late, you can get a medium speed out of the ball. There should also be different modes of the ball that you can toggle using right click and the client gets notified of what mode it is by displaying text using the command of bottom text. The three modes that you can toggle should be left curve ball, straight ball, and right curve ball. The speed of how much it curves in a direction should be calculated by how fast the ball is going. The projectile of the ball should look exactly like the item you hold in your hand. When you throw the ball, the bowling ball you have in your inventory should be gotten rid of and a projectile should be created next to your blockhead's hand so it would seem like you are throwing the ball. The projectile should have strong gravity since bowling balls weigh so much. The projectile should keep it's speed at the same rate until the ball is destroyed. It should be 5 or 10 seconds until the ball is gone automatically by the decay rate. There should be different colors for the bowling ball, so players can have a nice selection of colors to choose from.

The bowling pins should be easier to make. Just make it a 1x1x(the height for the pin should be 3, 4, or 5) brick that is a white pin with a red stripe on it. You could also make it that the paintcan can change the stripe color to the color you selected to paint the pins. Pretty much how the bowling ball is going to smash the pins is by using the fakekill brick event before the bowling ball hits the pins. So make sure that the bowling pins can easily be knocked over when fake killed aswell.

What do you think guys? Is this possible to make in Blockland? Have any thoughts or ideas to add? Make sure to post below guys! :)

Drama / Furdle's Star Wars Battlefront Server has bad administering.

« on: February 16, 2013, 04:22:17 PM »

Ok I was on Blockland today and I was joining some servers. I decided to go on Furdle's Star Wars Battlefront server because it has a good build and I love playing the Star Wars Battlefront video games. Well I was just casually playing on the server, when something happened in the chat. Click the images I attached to this post and read them to see the screenshots of the chat. After you have read the screenshots I have taken of the chat that happend on Furdle's server, read on.

I don't think Neymar was really trying to advertise Kong's server that much. I think he just wanted someone to play with him there because the last time I checked, Kong's server was empty. Besides RTB is down so it's even harder to get some of your friends to play a server with you. Then without warning, Furdle bans Neymar with the reason "no". That is a terrible reason to ban someone with because it shows that the admin is not administering intelligently. I asked where I can read the server rules, so I can know what gets you banned but the server had no rules. The admins just make people banned if they think they should be banned. Plus when they do ban people, it's usually a perma ban no matter what the person did to get that ban. Yes it is common sense to the people who know they shouldn't do that Sphere. But a lot of kids play Blockland so not everyone knows what they should or not do. That's why most admins have server rules or warn people to not do something when someone does it once or atleast kick them for a warning when they do it the first time so they know that they shouldn't do it. When an admin cusses at me, that shows that they don't treat their players nicely. I like admins who treat people the same way as they would like to be treated. Now I did go a bit far with saying "wow bad admins" but Furdle shouldn't have taken it so seriously. We could have talked like gentlemen but instead Furdle cusses at me and treats me like he doesn't want my kind of players who like good administering to be on his server. At the very last line of the server chat when I was on the server, Furdle perma banned for a very stupid reason of "no". He doesn't want to deal with players that are unhappy of how the server is being administrated. Before I made this drama, I did a search on all the dramas Furdle got in the past. He has a decent amount of dramas made about him in the last 4 or 5 years. Discuss Furdle and his terrible server.

Suggestions & Requests / Star Wars force powers as inventory items.

« on: February 12, 2013, 07:41:37 PM »

This would be cool if someone made this. It could be like each force power is a different item. There doesn't need to be a model attached to a blockhead's hands when using a force power since force powers don't work that way. There could be like force push, force pull, force grip, force heal, force speed, and tons of other force powers aswell. I don't think that this is that hard to script either, so that's a plus. What do you think guys? Is anyone willing to make this?

List of add-ons that has been made so far:
1. Jedi Force Player by MARBLE MAN
Link: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=224767

List of force powers that has been made into add-ons:
1. Controlling stuff using the force. - Jedi Force Player (Came from the Star Wars Movies)
2. Force Push - Jedi Force Player (Came from the Star Wars Movies)
3. Force Pull - Jedi Force Player (Came from the Star Wars Movies)

List of force powers that could be cool as add-ons:
1. Force Grip (Came from the Star Wars Movies)
2. Force Lightning (Came from the Star Wars Movies)
3. Force Jump (Came from the Star Wars Movies)
4. Force Speed (One of the first games for this force power to appear in is Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2.)
5. Force Heal (One of the first games for this force power to appear in is Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2.)
6. Force Protect (Originated from Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2: Mysteries of the Sith.)
7. Force Projection (Originated from Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2: Mysteries of the Sith.)
8. Force Chain Lightning (Originated from Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2: Mysteries of the Sith.)

This is how the game works. You list words/phrases you want to be banned in this year. I'll go first.

I hate how people keep saying the phrase 'baby bump' when talking about baby pregnancy pictures. That needs to be banned.

Help / Disconnected from server: Can't verify Blockland ID.

« on: November 05, 2012, 09:39:49 PM »

A Blockland friend of mine is having a problem when said person tries to join any server on the master server list and gets booted out with this message: Disconnected from server: Can't verify Blockland ID

Also said person has pretty bad internet. Like maybe worse than dial-up speed. Does anyone know what is going on? Btw said person has a valid Blockland key and said person's key connects fine to the master authorization server when getting in Blockland. And before anyone asks, yes said person re-installed Blockland. Said person has a clean install of Blockland and said person still has the same error. Any help?

Off Topic / What video camera should I buy?

« on: August 06, 2012, 12:26:47 PM »

I've had a Kodak Playsport Zx3 for 2 years, just recently it stopped working. So I am looking to buy a new and better video camera. I am willing to buy a video camera within the $200-$350 price range. HD would be a plus. So Blockland forums, what video camera should I get? I only want suggestions of video cameras that retail stores are currently selling. Thanks to everyone who helps me. :)

Edit: Fixed my Kodak Playsport Zx3 Video Camera, topic locked.
