Help / Various Things Disappearing

« on: June 06, 2009, 03:55:38 PM »

I'm currently in the process of building a sort of Exploration RPG. Whenever I save and reload it later on, I find that certain things have disappeared completely, specifically some doors and a few evented objects. I'm not sure what the cause of this is.

Suggestions & Requests / Larger Flat Print Bricks

« on: May 31, 2009, 10:17:18 AM »

I think it would be extremely useful if we had some larger flat print bricks for floors and whatnot.

Like a 4x4FPrint
Possibly 8x8FPrint

I've been attempting this but for some reason cannot get it to work, so if anyone wants to do this, that would be fantastic.

Off Topic / Well, I knew this would happen eventually.

« on: April 02, 2009, 04:02:38 PM »

It seems my computer has been affected by...something, it might be Conficker, might not be, can't be sure because there's no way for me to check now. I got home today to find my computer in an...odd...state. My background was showing but none of the icons or the task bar or anything, really. I rebooted the computer, and it started up normally and it seemed everything would be alright. I logged onto my username, and waited a moment for my background applications to start as they normaly do. They didn't. I tried logging onto AIM, but the moment I clicked on the icon, I got the little hourglass cursor, and it stayed that way. I could move the mouse around, but clicking things would do nothing. Not even the keyboard would do anything. I rebooted the computer again. Same result. Reboot again. Same loving result. Whenever I click anything (or right click), the computer locks up.

Because of this, whatever the problem is with the computer I have no way of fixing it or even finding out what it is, so I may have to just reformat the computer and lose everything.

tl;dr: Computer is forgeted, have to reinstall windows and lose everything.

And in case you're wondering, I'm typing this on a laptop.

Modification Help / Creating Emitters on Vehicles

« on: March 23, 2009, 06:00:47 PM »

I've been looking at scripts for varying vehicles but I still cannot figure out how to put emitters on vehicles, such as a flame when it starts moving. I want to put four on this thing I'm working on, but I don't know how to go about doing this.

Help / IRC Is Not Working.

« on: March 10, 2009, 04:34:08 PM »

For some reason, the IRC channel is no longer working for me. The game has started up and authenticated successfully, but in the IRC window, usernames do not show up in the sidebar, and it says:

Code: [Select]

* Blockhead 1139 has set mode: +iwx
I'm not sure what this means, or if it has anything to do with it. If someone could please help me, it would be much appreciated.

Help / Blockland does not completely start...

« on: March 08, 2009, 10:35:08 AM »

This has been happening alot lately. When I start up Blockland, the console comes up. It sits there blank for a minute or so, then finally starts processing. It moves along rather slowly and then stops when it gets to "Engine Initialized..." Not sure why it does this. Sometimes it starts up like that, and sometimes it starts up normally.

Clan Discussion / Blockland Alliance Navy [BAN]

« on: January 29, 2009, 07:50:04 PM »

Well, since I've just regained the ability to host servers, thus meaning the dedicated server is back up, I've decided to resuscitate the clan a second time and see how things go. Without further adieu, IT'S TIME FOR ATTEMPT #3.

Clan Information

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 Dread. 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://banavy.co.nr/

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

We hope to see you in the clan soon!

Member List:

    * Ace - Admiral -ID: 1139
    * Dread - Admiral - ID: 210
    * Ghoul - Commodore - ID: 618
    * Digmaster - Captain - ID: 242
    * Laremere - Commander - ID: 2156
    * Lime Ricky - Lieutenant - ID: 918
    * Nimbus - Lieutenant - ID: 1434
    * Menen - Officer - ID: 1739
    * Z9-C - Crew Member - ID: 3499
    * LoneSniper -  Recruit - ID: 3901

Ranking System:

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. Officer
4. Lieutenant
5. Commander
6. Captain
7. Commodore (highest rank)
8. Admiral (only for leaders, Ace and Dread)

Application Guidelines

When building your application for the clan, please take these tips into consideration:

    * Your application should contain at least 3,000 bricks.
    * Your application should be a demonstration of your very best ability.
    * Your application should be built by YOU and ONLY YOU. No help is permitted, this is not how it works.
    * We do not accept box ships or spam ships. Please grow some common sense.
    * Applications may be a replica of something from another source. (I.E. you create a ship from Star Wars)
    * Stealing other people's ships is NOT tolerated and will permanently bar you from applying again.
    * Applications are 50% build, 50% reputation. If we don't know you too well, your chances of getting in are decreased.

Dedicated Server Rules:

    * Any form of spamming, such as emitters, vehicles, or just plain stuffty ships, will result in a ban.
    * Only clan members get admin rights, DO NOT ask to be an admin, you'll be banned.
    * The server can only hold so much, therefore, after a certain point, non-clan member ships or unused ships will be cleared to make more room for the clan's builds.
    * Build efficiently and stick to the theme.

Clan Files

These are custom content files created by members for use on the servers. Enjoy them!

    *B.A.N Events Sound Pack
    *B.A.N Ambiance Loops
    *B.A.N 1x1 Prints
    *B.A.N 2x2r Slope Prints

Blacklist

The following unfortunate members of the community are perma-banned from all BAN servers/must be watched out for. Blacklist entries are listed like so:
    * Name - BL_ID - Reason

    * Solar - ID: 6435 - Delusions of Grandeur
    * Ephialates - ID: 9218 - handicapped Impostor
    * Lord Tony - ID: 5146 - All around friendry.

Off Topic / Got to be kidding me...

« on: January 06, 2009, 07:06:07 PM »

So my parents seem to find some kind of joy in suddenly revoking my ability to use the computer without giving me any warning or real reason for doing so.

I'll be using the internet, or at least what's possible of it, from the sanctity of my ipod, but of course it's very limited in terms of what I can do with it. So, I guess I'll see you all at some later date, they have not told me when I will be allowed to use the computer again.

Off Topic / Car Accident

« on: December 21, 2008, 02:20:52 PM »

So roughly an hour ago, me and my family were on our way home from having lunch. There is this road right around the corner from our house where a bridge comes down onto it and there is a curve right after. We were coming down off the bridge, and right as we were turning the curve in the road, there's this thick patch of ice. The car spins out one way, then the other, and we go sliding sideways into two guard poles next to a fire hydrant. Now I wasn't wearing my seat belt, but we're all okay. So now the car is stuck in the snow. roughly a minute after we got out of the car to check the damage, another car spins out in the exact same spot and slams head first into a concrete sign on the other side of the road. The passengers in that car were unharmed as well, luckily. So it was close enough that we could walk home, despite it being sub-zero outside, and now we're waiting on the insurance people to get a truck down there to get our car out of the ice and snow. I feel kinda sick to my stomach right now, because I'm thinking of what could have happened just because I didn't have my seat belt on. This is going to haunt me for a long time, I believe.

So as you all know, Christmas is coming up, and as usual I am having a difficult time finding anything that I really want. If I could get some suggestions on what is worth asking for, such as video games or whatever, it would be greatly appreciated.

Clan Discussion / Blockland Alliance Navy [BAN]

« on: September 28, 2008, 06:53:06 PM »

After a long, long time of being completely dead and abandoned, and after much discussion between Ghoul and myself, we've decided to bring this clan back from the dead to give it another shot.

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 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 Ghoul 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
• Z9-C - Recruit - ID: 3499
• Teme - Recruit - ID: 3251

Notice: If you were in the clan before, you will still have to re-apply. That's just how it works.

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.
