Modification Help / Re: Blender .blb importer [2.68.0] [v1.2]

forget

You could also copy the path of "Documents/Blockland/base/data/shapes" and paste all of the brick textures and the spraycanLabel.png into it.

Often you'll find a bot that was clearly ctrl+h'd.

"[PlayerName]bot"

Or the infamous 'disconnect' glitch.

Is this proportional to General's BLB converter? or what converter does it work with?

You need to make the individual colors portion of the brick their own object, and name them "(tex) C R G B A"

They come out as "(tex) [R G B A]" in this importer.

Does not import any portion of the grid or anything like that either, just the brick model.

I've talked to General about handling colors differently and right now, I can't exactly say much, but they may be handled differently at some point.

nice man really interesting

blows my mind how people make plugins in python, i hate python

I actually learned python and created this in under a week.

I did this by learning python as I built my program; encountering problems, I would research that type of problem and learn more about python as I built the program.

I had never bothered with python beforehand.

Comes from motivation.

You should add a short guide on how to install the importer and also remove that [2.68.0] from the thread title as it works on other versions too. I'm fairly certain the script will work on any Blender version after 2.5.

UV coords were rotated what looked to be 90° on images I got from Masterlegodude in 2.67

That's normal.

Texture extensions don't show up in any normal object mode.

You can render the brick or export it to be converted back into a brick to see what the texture actually looks like.

Drama / Re: Betelgeuse - Spamming duplications on my server

« on: October 24, 2013, 02:11:12 AM »

You could stop coding client-sided abusive mods...

No. But it can be pretty noticable if someone decides to abuse a mod you created. As Cuddle's said, maybe you can code a helpful add-on that does not put the duplicatons in the folders. I was just saying.

What the forget is wrong with you?

You're clearly blaming the creator of a helpful add-on for the abusive stufftiness of other players, as if the purpose of such user's add-ons were to be abused in the first place.


These are bugs that every add-on will have, it is extremely easy to loop through most complex add-ons and do something at a constant rate that lags the server.

The add-on in question is one of the most helpful add-ons ever released for Blockland, if not THE most helpful.

The duplorcator has a save/load command that seems to use the save GUI for a short time, and you're bashing the creator (whom you think is MARBLE MAN), for the abusiveness of other players.

So, Ravencroft and Betel very clearly abused the stuff out of a mod and attempted to crash a server with it; and the topic turns into all fun and games?

Crashing a server on purpose and being caught doing it has resulted in key deactivation in the past.
Too many idiots in this topic.

Please elaborate what the advantage of a wallhack is on a server that has no walls??

BLhack has an aimbot as well.

Modification Help / Re: Cannot write to shaders folder, not detected as a default directory

« on: September 20, 2013, 04:28:51 PM »

Badspot dislikes anyone screwing with any files outside of config and Add-Ons, I believe this is achievable through creating an external program tho.

It could be a program that contains a full GUI for messing with the settings and learning what each setting does that constantly sends a function that resets Blockland's shader mode after changes are made.
