Help / No brick respawn?

« on: September 01, 2007, 02:20:44 PM »

I was thinking, maybe it's possible to make it so that bricks don't respawn in a minigame. I would like that the bricks respawn when the minigame ends, though. Is there a way to do this?

Suggestions & Requests / In-Blockland-Menu-Private Messages?

« on: August 27, 2007, 08:31:23 PM »

I was thinking of making a passworded server, and some of the people that I want to invite, don't have forum accounts, or IGSO, so I can't tell them the password. So I was thinking "what if there was an in game private message system?" I know that there's IGSO, but I can't talk to people who don't have it. Maybe Blockland could have a system in the main menu where you can message all Blockland players that have an internet connection. Is this possible?

Gallery / My first official build - The GOLEM Starship!

« on: August 26, 2007, 02:08:00 PM »

This is my first big build in Blockland that I've officially announced, and I'm extremely proud of it! It's called The GOLEM. It's a huge battle cruiser that's floating in the middle of nowhere! I've been working on it for around 3 months. I've been extremely lazy and have worked on it... once or twice a week? Here are the pictures:

One of the two launch tubes in the hangar. The hangar takes up 2 floors of the whole ship!

The bridge or command room (I got my inspiration of the design from classic TV shows.)

The commanders' bunks in the living sector of the ship.

The ships reactor. It's some random cage with a 2 crystals on the side shooting lasers into a crystal in the middle. What's a reactor suppose to look like anyway?

This is an airlock inside the cargo bay. All of those bricks around it are big metal crates. It's not the coolest part of the ship, but it adds to the realism.

And last but not least, the outside of the ship. As you can see, it's covered in cannons and turrets!

I'll eventually use the ship to make RPGs, but for now I'll host it so people can fully explore it. Feel free to rate x/10.

Help / New 1x1 and 2x2 plate decals?

« on: August 25, 2007, 10:54:42 PM »

I started building something and needed a 1x1, so I looked in the new "prints" area. At first I was boggled by the many new textures I found. I also found many new ones in the 2x2 plates!

Unfortunatley, my friend can't see most of them. I have no idea where they came from! Either I'm just being stupid and they came with the new version, I somehow downloaded them from another server, or I got them from an addon (which I'm sure I didn't.)

Can someone tell me where these came from, and why my friend can't see them?

General Discussion / Space Ship RPG (Fleet Build 'Surprise')

« on: August 08, 2007, 10:15:25 PM »

Many of you have joined my Public Fleet Build sever. And many of you have asked "what's the surprise?" Well since so many of you have asked and you are clearly interested, I guess I'll tell you.

I gave out many hints mentioning a 'crew' and an already finished build. The build is a very, very large battle cruiser nick named 'the GOLEM' on account of it's eyes and cannons on it's back (the spines). It is 5 stories high, six 64x64 plates long, and two 64x64 plates wide. It's my biggest build in Blockland, and I'm temped to show it off. To do this and make the most of it, I've planned an RPG where you play as crew members and fighter pilots. To make it more fun, I'll focus on making enemy ships that warp (load) to our positions. You'll fight them off in your fighter jets (currently stunt planes unless someone makes an acceptable space jet vehicle the size of the stunt plane) with rocket launchers and miniguns. Those who stay at the ship will fight with ion cannons (if i can get it to work D: ).

BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING, yes, this is very dorky, but I'm sure it will be fun.

The ship is complete with a hangar, bridge, brig (for those rebels who fire at their own ships), engine rooms, and many more features needed to run the ship!

If you joined the Fleet Build server, you'll know that I've been approving anyone who builds and finishes a good ship. The reason for this is that I needed extra people to run the ship if I'm ever away. So far, 5 people have built acceptable ships, and will be allowed to pick their own positions.

This is not confirmed yet, but I'm sure it will be fun once it's on. Join the 'Public Fleet Build' server and build a ship to get approved!

Suggestions & Requests / Assassin's Knife?

« on: July 11, 2007, 08:09:40 PM »

I was wondering why the sword isn't in any of the minigames that I join on servers. It might be because it doesn't do much damage, or that you can't get close enough to anyone with a gun, and do enough damage fast enough to kill them. So, I thought of having an assassin's knife, a smaller melee weapon than the sword, and has a one hit kill.

This could make deathmatches much more interesting with the addition of sneak attacks. Say some sniper is in his fort, not paying attention to what gets in. Someone finally get annoyed with his constant kills, sneaks in, get behind the sniper, and takes him out with this knife!

Help / Shotgun/Parachute not working

« on: June 25, 2007, 11:12:00 PM »

I know these addons are a bit old, but i have a problem with the shotgun and parachute. They appear in the game, however they are both completely white and the shotgun shoots nothing at all. I have downloaded them both twice, but they still don't work. Can anyone help?
