Clan Discussion / How many clans do you belong to???

« on: February 19, 2008, 04:31:05 PM »

I see that most Blocklanders normally have both of their clan tag spaces filled in, but I know that a lot of people can belong to more than just 2 clans.

Tell how many/name what clans you belong to, if you want.

General Discussion / Oops...

« on: February 19, 2008, 04:11:26 PM »

Earlier I just started on a new build. I had built around 2,000 bricks and decided to save. Since I was use to saving in the Basilisk file for so long, I... kinda saved over it... Stupid me.

I know a few people asked to save the build, and I allowed them, so I'm hoping that someone in Blockland has the save. If anyone has it, please PM me so we can meet and give me the save. 

Thanks.

Drama / 'blocker917' - Troll?

« on: February 17, 2008, 08:24:14 PM »

I was looking at 'blocker's posts in his profile, and after thinking "how can anyone be THIS stupid?", I came up with the idea that he's a troll. I just don't see how someone can continue being a complete handicap after being viscously flamed in every topic he's made.

Drama / Hypocrites...

« on: February 13, 2008, 10:37:20 PM »

After I rejected 'fireball's building rights on my server, he starts saying "lol u sum kind of nerd or sumthin?".

I seriously laughed at this. He's playing a game where you build online with virtual Legos with the name 'fireball' and insults a person for being a nerd? Seriously hypocritical.

The same incident happened when I accused "XdarkreaperX" for cheating on Tagy's challenge (which he was). He then calls me a nerd for 'crying over a game'. I explain to him how he's being a hypocrite for insulting someone for being a nerd in Blockland, yet he denies it.

I spent the rest of the night laughing.

Suggestions & Requests / Statues?

« on: February 09, 2008, 11:35:25 PM »

I was thinking that when you're exploring builds, some large ones may seem lifeless and empty, like there SHOULD be people in them. I also find myself walking through my spaceship build feeling lonely, since the main idea of the build was to make it seem like there would be people and crew members wandering around the ship, operating equipment and computers. This sparked the idea of having statues to represent these people in the intended way.

Example:

Open a (let's say) statue menu, select the statues avatar, stand in it's selected position (holding chosen weapons/tools, and click a "confirm statue" button, and there the statue stands.

It won't have to do anything like walk or move, but just sit there in the selected position (like the topic name says).

Opinions?

Clan Discussion / Blockland Alliance Navy (BAN)

« on: February 03, 2008, 05:26:07 PM »

                                                           


The Blockland Alliance Navy (BAN) is a clan that focuses on space themed builds, such as massive space ships and space stations. It is led by Ace and me (Ghoul). The clan tag is [BAN].

The Blockland Alliance Navy is made up of some of the best space builders of Blockland, and we're ready to start recruiting new members. Also, every once in a while, we host clan fleet-builds, where all of the clan members get together and build a Clan-Spaceship Fleet.

Here's our site: http://blocklandalliancenavy.freeforums.org/portal.php

To join, simply submit a space themed application. Ace and I will both vote. If we both veto, the application will be denied, and vice-versa. If our votes conflict, a fleet captain will be chosen to make a third and final vote.

We hope to see you in the clan soon!

Here's the member list:

Ghoul - Admiral - ID: 618
Ace - Admiral -ID: 1139
Dread - Captain - ID: 210
Digmaster - Officer - ID: 242
Falcondude - Crew Member - ID: 527
Aphtonites - Crew Member - ID: 909
Bushido - Crew Member - ID: 708
Xang - Crew Member - ID: 1664
Laremere - Crew Member - ID: 2156
Z9-C - Crew Member - ID: 3499
Lime Ricky - Recruit - ID: 918
The clan's ranking system is determined by a number of different ways. If you've been in the clan for more than two weeks, you're promoted to a crew member. You can be promoted in any way by making a contribution to the clan, such as making a ship for one of our fleet-builds. The ranks are ordered as follows:

1. Recruit
2. Crew Member
3. Lieutenant
4. Cadet
5. Officer
6. Captain (highest rank)
7. Admiral (only for leaders, Ace and Ghoul)

More ranks will come as soon as I get off my lazy ass and think of more...

EXAMPLE: Digmaster made the clan forums, therefore, he is promoted to an Officer. Ace and I are the leaders, therefore we are the fleet admirals.

More information on the clan soon to come.

Gallery / Basilisk Starship (W.I.P)

« on: January 26, 2008, 12:36:32 AM »

This is the build I'm usually working on via my passworded server. It's around 35 thousand bricks so far, and is around... a bit more than half done! This is a GIGANTIC battle cruiser. Take a look:

-This is the hull of the ship so far. The hole in the center is the hangar, and the round shapes on the back are the thrusters.

-The thrusters

-This is the room directly after the hanger. It's the decontamination chamber, where you get scanned for contaminates before you enter the ship.

http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/7382/blockland00106az8.png
-This is the nuclear reactor/ship's core. It's in the relative middle of the ship.

http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/4986/blockland00107zw8.png
-This is something I randomly made up. It's the ship's oxygen control center. I suppose you put those orange tanks (filled with oxygen) into their slots, filtering breathable air throughout the ship.

http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/3593/blockland00104jo7.png
-Overall, this is how far I've gotten. It's the inside of the ship. I have plenty of space for more rooms, and I'm sure it's going to be over 50 thousand bricks when I'm finished.

I started on the project about 4 months ago. However, I've taken many little breaks in between, so I'm not sure how long I've been working on it, exactly. In case you're wondering, the ship's not going to be a boring tube shape, like it is now. It will have a shorter, thinner tube coming out of a wall where that gap is, leading to a command center shaped like a sideways dome. I'll also be adding cannons and guns of all sorts around the hull. (I know that the current shape is dull and boring) I'm also going to try and add a place somewhere inside the ship for fighter pilots to launch into space, if my computer permits vehicles in this mess.

Tips? Opinions? I hope you like it so far!

PS: Sorry about the way I posted the pictures. I couldn't figure out a better way.

Help / Strange Gun Behavior

« on: January 25, 2008, 07:22:27 PM »

I have no idea how this happened, but I must have put a downloaded file in the wrong section.

Whenever I shoot my gun, (default gun) it has a green bullet, and makes a laser-firing noise when it hits something.

Any ideas on how to fix this? And what did I do to mess this up?

General Discussion / Which image hosting site?

« on: January 21, 2008, 02:18:42 PM »

I really have no clue which topic section this goes in, so I decided to put it in General Discussion.

Which site is best to host images on? I've got a W.I.P. I'm planning to show in the gallery, but I have a very large amount of pictures to post.

I need opinions.

Drama / Wow...

« on: January 20, 2008, 11:22:21 PM »

I just got banned from Block Dude's server for 'no cussing idiot'. I take it it's because I said "ok, wtf?" when he killed me, after I completed a challenge. One of the rules was 'no cussing.'

Suggestions & Requests / Disable Non-admin build saving?

« on: January 20, 2008, 02:51:31 PM »

I know this has been suggested before, but I'd like to bring back the idea without bumping a year old topic.

I'd really like to have an option to disable/enable a non-admin's ability to save someone else's build on a server. I have a couple of WIPs I'd like to show off, but I'm too paranoid about random noobs stealing my builds.

Could this be made?

Help / Sounds Screwed Up!

« on: December 14, 2007, 09:25:40 PM »

All of my sounds are screwed up. Destroying bricks have different sounds, and all of the option buttons in the ESC. menu are different. How do I fix this?

(It happened as soon as I checked off the 'download sounds' option)

Help / Disable Self Delete?

« on: November 03, 2007, 10:51:08 PM »

Dread and I are making a terrorist minigame, but it's no fun if everyone just Self Deletes once people kidnap other people. I was wondering if there was a way to disable that. Any answers?

This is a random... um... 'Lava Tap' I made on Wallet's freebuild. This came completely out of boredom! :D

Help / What exactly causes lag?

« on: September 12, 2007, 06:16:22 PM »

I'm building a fairly large build, and I was wondering what causes lag (OTHER than vehicles, lights, and emitters). I've heard that rounds cause the slightest bit of lag, also print decals. I use a lot of these in my builds, and I need someone to clarify those myths.
