General Discussion / Re: What was Blockland's original target audience?

« on: September 02, 2018, 11:22:10 AM »

I don't think the released version of Blockland was intended for children, they can play it, but there are things that came with this game that I don't think would have been included a game designed soley for children.

One of the old default saves that has now been removed was of a satanic church (DM Church). creep Bear and rooster Mongler faces are included as selectable faces anyone can use. The spray can also has swearing on it, although I believe it is censored. There might be more that I have forgotten about.

Kids can survive playing a game with the included points above, but it makes me suspect they weren't the only people this game was designed for, if at all.

Add-Ons / Re: Filipe1020 Add-Ons Topic - Bike Pack V2 Update is out! (Page 65)

« on: August 25, 2018, 03:23:00 PM »

The new version of the bike pack is a great improvement with the new additions. The police bike, chopper, and sport bike are the ones I find to be most useful of the new ones, I missed those types of bikes with the original version of this add-on. I am glad they are finally here!

Ah, yep. I forgot to separate paintable and non-paintable materials like I usually do.

It doesn't seem to be that big of an issue in your vehicles, the only other vehicle of yours I have noticed to have this problem is the Hero.

This was an interesting surprise, I like that it actually cuts grass. All the time I had the older lawn mower enabled I never realized it could do that. Is this actually based on a real mower or is it just from your imagination?

I have also noticed a texture glitch which occurs with this as well, with shaders turned off the grey bits on the grille and around the seat become a darker version of the vehicle's base colour.

Don't doubt your interior skills, they are amazing. I love the small details like the wall outlets.

Add-Ons / Re: Teneksi's Garage - Mail Truck, now with Dragster variant for some reason [2/3]

« on: July 09, 2018, 03:00:33 PM »

Since Blockland Forums went down around the same time as the new update for the Shark came out, I thought I would post something here because this topic looks as if the update never happened.
I think the new version of the shark is a big improvement over the original, and when you said you were making an update I wasn't sure it would make much of a difference but it did. I like that different years of the C3 Corvette can be recreated using it.
I am glad you were able to get the motivation to finally finish it since you said that was bugging you at my server, and hopefully you have enough motivation to continue working on your other projects now.

Add-Ons / Re: [Brick] Road markings

« on: July 01, 2018, 01:17:44 AM »

This add-on is great for making roads more detailed in an easy manner.
However I have noticed that this version has more bricks than the one that is available on Blockland Glass, Is there a reason for that?

The 1x2, 1x4, 1x8 blocks are missing from the Glass release, and the yield sign is missing from both versions.

Add-Ons / Re: [Brick] 32x Roads & Ramps - Modter 32x Compatible!

« on: July 01, 2018, 01:07:29 AM »

These are very useful for maps that have varied terrain like the ones I make. I use Advanced Roads for my maps but they lack ramps so I just use blank modter ramps to fill in for road ramps, which these take care of to an extent.

Unfortunately the road patterns on these do not match with Advanced Roads so they don't quite fit either. Would it be possible to make second versions of the ramp bricks with a texture that matches the ones from Advanced Roads? I don't know how difficult that would be, but it would make these even more useful as the two packs could be combined.

The taxi lights should be working by pressing shift brick up (+ sign on numpad by default)

Oh, my mistake. I usually use numpad 3 (plate up) and forgot about numpad +. It works when I use + instead.

Sorry to bump, but I was using the taxi variant of the Bengs at night with the lights on and noticed that the taxi sign didn't glow at all.
I remember seeing a picture with the taxi sign glowing and the /veh says to press shift brick up for the taxi light however when I try that it does not come on. Was this feature scrapped late in development, or is it just not working for me?

Yes, generally speaking. Standard struggle for self-worth. Yesterday evening was productive, but difficult.

Limiting that issue to Blockland, I keep thinking about cars but wondering whether people enjoy driving them enough to make it worthwhile

I can't speak for Blockland as a whole but I can speak for my server.

Vehicles are probably the most popular type of add-ons. As of writing this 6 out of the 10 most popular downloads on Blockland Glass this week are vehicle related (Passenger Train, Emperor 79, Hiro, IVS, CVS, Bengs 190).

New brick packs and events etc might be more useful but people don't anxiously await their release and always speculate about what will come out next for those types of add-ons. When people request new add-ons for my server they are almost always vehicles, and people get excited whenever a new vehicle comes out and play with it a lot.
Vehicles in Blockland may not always serve a practical purpose but neither do a lot of things in life. People enjoy playing with them, and they are very useful for roleplaying, taking realistic photos, or making videos.

There are a lot of vehicle add-ons for Blockland but the ones released in the last year or so by you, Barnabas, and Filipe1020 are much higher quality than the ones released before that which makes the older ones seem very outdated and redundant.

Vehicle add-ons might not be the most useful but that doesn't mean people don't appreciate them, so if the only reason you don't feel like making vehicles is because you don't think people will appreciate them then you should continue to make them because it simply isn't true.
The entire game's population may not appreciate vehicles but many people do, myself included.

Plus, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't have high quality service vehicles that people have been wanting since I joined this game in 2009 such as a functioning schoolbus, firetruck, and mailvan.

« on: June 10, 2018, 10:49:18 AM »

I'm glad to see that you are still working on Blockland content with updating the bike pack.
I think one of the most useful additions to the pack would be a police motorcycle of some sort, I don't think one exists at all in Blockland yet.

Gallery / Re: I broke the vehicle limit.

« on: May 30, 2018, 03:05:11 PM »

For those of you wondering how I did this, I don't really know myself. I noticed a glitch on my server that would allow me to exceed the vehicle limit awhile ago. The limit would start at the regular 20, but after clearing vehicles it would allow up to 40. I never needed more than that for my server but decided to see how far I could go. Once the limit of 40 is reached clearing vehicles again increased it to 60, and each time the new limit is reached and vehicles cleared it goes up by 20. The global vehicle and per player limit is 100, but even then I was able to get to 120. I think it must be caused by an add-on I have or something, it is useful anyways.

that looks really laggy, but also nice

With all of those vehicles I didn't notice any change in FPS, although the build I used only had around 2000 bricks. It would probably lag more in a larger build.
