Help / {TUTORIAL} Port-Forwarding [Windows]

« on: February 11, 2016, 08:20:51 AM »

USING WINDOWS VISTA - 10
--------------------------------
TABLE OF CONTENTS
A - SETTING A STATIC IP ADDRESS
B - ACCESS THE DEFAULT GATEWAY
C - FORWARD THE ROUTER'S PORTS
--------------------------------


A - SETTING A STATIC IP ADDRESS

1. Win-Key and type CMD. Hit enter. In the command prompt, type ipconfig /all and hit enter again

Scroll down and record the following:
IPv4 Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
DNS Server 1
DNS Server 2 (if applicable)

2. Open the Network and Sharing Center and click Change adapter settings


3. Right-click your internet adapter and click Properties


4. Click TCP/IP v4 and click Properties


5. Fill the information here with the information from step 1


It should look soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning like this

Click OK and make sure "validate settings upon exit" is unchecked

CONGRATS! You have just set yourself a static IP. Let's proceed to the next part


B - ACCESS THE DEFAULT GATEWAY

1. Open your browser and type your default gateway from step A-1 into the address bar. Hit enter.

2. Log into your modem/router. Normally, the router or modem has a sticker on it that has the username
and password for the gateway. If it does not, try looking up the manufacturers default gateway information.
It's usually soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning like "admin" and "password" or "user" and "password" or "user" and "user"



If you cannot access the default gateway, then your journey to port forwarding has ended here.


C - FORWARD THE ROUTER'S PORTS

1. Look for the port forwarding option in your router. Sometimes it's hidden under advanced settings.
A quick google image search of your router model with the words "port forward" might also help

The default port for Blockland is 28000. You will need to open this port, and set the end port
to 28000 + However many people will be hosting. I use 28000 - 28008. It will look soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning like this

Make sure to enable the port for both TCP and UDP. Click apply/ok/accept/done

CONGRATULATIONS! You have forwarded your ports! Now, was that really so hard?
--------------------------------

NOTE: If you have an ancient router/modem and you cannot find the port forwarding option, try updating the firmware for your model.

  HAPPY HOSTING!

Off Topic / This has been bugging me all day

« on: January 27, 2016, 12:42:14 AM »

Alright, so I am in the middle of browsing my PC docs looking for some file I can't remember, and the TV is kinda loud so I look over at it, also my daughter is sitting there laughing at cartoons on tv which made me laugh a bit too.

Well ok the laugh was over and I had turned back to my PC, and returned to what I was doing. But, out of the corner of my eye when I glanced back over I seen soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning move on the chair I was sitting on. And it was a loving spider!! Literally about  2 inches from my manpackage, and im sitting here wearing loving PAC-MAN PAJAMA PANTS. This forgeter could have bit right through that stuff! I jumped up pretty quick like "OH stuff!" then proceeded to smash it with a near-by flip flop

Unfortunately, I am not sure if I actually killed him or not...I seen part of his gushy leg on the floor where I thought I squished him, but it's not the full body and I'm scared he's gonna bite me in my sleep and kill me/exact revenge.

I'm loving serious, a part of me feels that spider is still alive and plotting.

Modification Help / Key-Press Other Mounted Image Sequence

« on: January 26, 2016, 04:49:38 AM »

Imagine I mounted a cape to my backslot. I want this cape to play certain sequences during key presses such as spacebar,shift,etc. I know I can "loop" a sequence or play through a series of them using weapon states and transition on timeout, but it appears only models in the handslot 0 animate via trigger?

How would I go about telling a mounted image not in the hand slot to play its script? (such as onFire, onReady, etc) or would I have to manually add sequences to the shape and use playThread?

Add-Ons / Vehicle Air Drop - v4

« on: January 25, 2016, 11:50:06 PM »

VEHICLE AIR DROP


v4
--------------------------------
A modified version of the Air Strike Beacon by Jetz and Pandan.
Drops a vehicle care package. Inspired by Just Cause 3

FUNCTIONALITY
Right click with the beacon to pull up the vehicle menu and select a drop type.
You can also use /beaconVehicle vehiclename with the vehicle beacon in-hand to set the drop type.

SERVER ADMINS:
You can restrict vehicles from beacon access with /beaconRestrict vehiclename
use the command again to un-resitrict the vehicle

/clearDropVehicles - Clears all beacon vehicle drops
/setBeaconMax - Sets the max drop amount per player

CHANGES/ADDITIONS
-Used my own remote model with button pressing animation
-Fixed being able to pickup multiple beacon items
-Properly rotated beacon projectile
-The f14 has an engine sound

TO DO
-Vehicle color based on team color if in a minigame
-Easier vehicle restriction that saves in a list
-Fix bugs

DOWNLOAD
------------------------
MEDIAFIRE
------------------------

KNOWN BUGS:
Clearing drop vehicles command is broken. For now use /clearFloatingBricks to remove beacon spawns

The antenna on the beacon remote is black in-hand and when it's first spawned on a brick.
It turns grey after you pick it up at least once, but always stays black in-hand.
I have absolutely no idea why this happens, just a small visual bug...

When using the GUI, do not put in a brick name or you will get a console error!
Keep in mind there is no brick planted down, so it can't have a name

Modification Help / Light Cookie

« on: January 24, 2016, 01:02:00 AM »

Is it possible to use light cookies in Blockland? I have been looking into making a "disco ball" of sorts, where the light gives off a particle/image cast, like seen here.

Off Topic / Annoying Orange wants to restrict internet usage

« on: December 16, 2015, 06:35:54 PM »

Donald Annoying Orange supports monitoring and/or restricting internet usage much like China and North Korea. At first he claims that parts of the internet would be watched or shut-down. Shortly after Rand Paul explains that he would be violating the first amendment (or that it would need to be re-written to comply with Annoying Orange's idea) he backs up his statement saying that he wouldn't "shut down" the internet, but it would still be closely watched for "terrorism".



Are people really going to vote for Annoying Orange? A billionaire fat cat who thinks he knows it all, and laughs at anyone who thinks they can challenge his ideology. He doesn't mention the constitution, the bill of rights, or anything remotely similar to what our country was founded on; He talks about war and keeping our nation "safer from terrorist attacks" as if it's soPhysician Prescribed Desoxyning he can guarantee will happen while he is in power, and how he will make sure the Star Bucks cup says "Merry Christmas". Wow.

Donald Annoying Orange. Presidential Leader or Republican Dictator?
