Now that 2013 is closed down (congrats Boston), America has to deal with the boring off-season. Give your guesses on how 2014 will turn out.

General Discussion / Post/discuss your most favorite server ever.
« on: October 29, 2013, 06:15:55 PM »
/title
At least post what your favorite server (past or present) is. Share why you loved the server.
Jorgur's Dogfight was probably my most favorite until it died off after v20's terrain died. It was very popular and had many people even into the night. LegoPepper's Dogfight is a good replacement though.

Modification Help / Exporting Models from Google Sketchup to Milkshape 3D
« on: October 24, 2013, 09:05:10 PM »
I've been looking for other threads on this to solve my question, but I'm either not using the right keywords, or bad results turn up. I don't think I can add joints or finalize any modeling using Sketchup alone.
Do I need special plugins for exporting?
Also, please give a brief explanation (I'm bad with Internet/technology vocabulary, so please keep it simple).

General Discussion / Blockland Autobiographies
« on: October 22, 2013, 10:16:38 PM »
I'm sure this isn't the first topic like this, but didn't want to bump something ancient. Post how you came to find Blockland, notable Blockland events you've witnessed/created, up to now. Here's mine:
I joined Blockland near the end of v10 (late 2008) when I was twelve. My dad had found it somewhere online and got the demo and said I could check it out. After twiddling around with it for about a month or two (Kitchen was my favorite map), I decided to split the cost of it with my brother. I didn't do anything but Single Player for probably the first month and decided to play online.
My first long-lived Blockland name was Oliver Hagamy (name of a Lego guy I used to have). My brother played under the same name, because he didn't care to change it. I did what many new players do, I hosted Family RPs and default TDMs (got pretty successful for those types; about 14 players; also was the last time I ever hosted servers). After playing several servers and noting all the strange bricks that I didn't have, I got RTB add-ons about three months into having Blockland.
On March 08, 2009, I got in big trouble because of something I did at my church (got grounded for a week). I only remember that date because the next day, a pastor I used to have was shot and killed in the middle of service (http://www.foxnews.com/story/2009/03/09/pastor-killed-2-hurt-in-illinois-church-shooting/). I didn't really make a big deal about playing Blockland because I forgot about it. About a month later, I wanted to play it and couldn't find it. My dad had uninstalled it and scrapped all the add-ons I had gotten. I didn't play BL for a long time afterwards.
A couple years passed, I moved two different places, life moved on. In 2011, I found some old Microsoft Word documents where I had written some old add-ons down. "Oh yeah, Blockland..." I looked into getting it back. Dad wasn't helpful, so I taught myself how to install everything all over again and got back into it. After resurrecting my old key, I saw "Oliver Hagamy" and thought, "Wow..." I renamed myself to my permanent name, XR_7. My brother got into BL again and called himself SCG '98 (Skig now).
By this time, I was pretty unsettled on how to behave on the Internet. I would bother people on Pecon7's Boss Battles and the RTB General Discussion most often. I decided to start a forum account on June 10, 2012 (got perma-banned on June 11).
Not long after being banned, my desktop computer crashed and quit working altogether. My dad got a Windows 7 HP laptop, which is what I use now. Five months later, I re-installed Blockland. I had shaped up better, and most people had forgotten what I used to do (only been mentioned once since then). Other than buying my own seperate account like two weeks ago (don't share with my brother now), nothing much has changed.

Off Topic / The Weather Thread
« on: October 18, 2013, 09:25:04 PM »
Post pictures/experiences with interesting weather here. IRL I am a trained weather spotter, and can't find a thread like this, so I decided to create one.
1. My very best picture, taken June 25, 2011 from the back door of my house. A mammatus formation from a tornadic storm that passed through with a sunset shining in.
http://imgur.com/rPlVlis
2. A roll cloud, taken on July 12, 2011. I took this while standing on the driveway.
http://imgur.com/QMRMSlP
3. My scariest picture. You know how the sky is green when a "tornadic" storm comes through? This picture is not edited in any way! Green skies actually mean a heavy hail concentration in the storm, which fell during the storm. This picture was taken from the same place as Picture #1.
http://imgur.com/zAh3DLO
4. I did not take this picture. This is a cumulonimbus incus picture that actually gave me shivers when I was little.
http://imgur.com/AvBfqx5
5. I took this picture in Bowling Green, Kentucky in April 2012. A perfect single-celled severe thunderstorm.
http://imgur.com/vTDk2YP
6. The storm that destroyed Joplin by the time it reached my house as a tornadic squall line.
http://imgur.com/zz780vd
7. A flat-based cloud that had little more than a few raindrops, but still looks cool.

8. A severe thunderstorm with near-black clouds.

The radar version of the storm above.

Modification Help / A Coding Syntax Question On Spaces
« on: October 12, 2013, 08:20:22 PM »
Example from Vehicle_Jeep's "server.cs":
// Vehicle //
/////////////
datablock WheeledVehicleData(JeepVehicle)
{
category = "Vehicles";
displayName = " ";
shapeFile = "./jeep.dts"; //"~/data/shapes/skivehicle.dts"; //
emap = true;
minMountDist = 3;
numMountPoints = 7;
mountThread[0] = "sit";
mountThread[1] = "sit";
mountThread[2] = "sit";
mountThread[3] = "sit";
mountThread[4] = "sit";
mountThread[5] = "root";
mountThread[6] = "root";
mountThread[7] = "sit";
maxDamage = 200.00;
destroyedLevel = 200.00;
speedDamageScale = 1.04;
collDamageThresholdVel = 20.0;
collDamageMultiplier = 0.02;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so how do spaces work? Most of the commands appear to be indented before entered, while some are like three spaces from the left. Is there a certain way I should enter commands, as in a certain # of spaces? I'd just like to know how I actually enter stuff like this into notepad.

Drama / Facechild and Bones4 Degrading Themselves
« on: October 09, 2013, 05:46:34 PM »
Bones4 and Facechild come to Tezuni's to troll. Of course they pick Tezuni's, but they look pretty stupid here.
Here, they join, and Bones4 gets right down to business.
Facechild begins.
Facechild continues.
People react because they are so famous.
They go on about some inside joke, all the while spamming.
I mute Facechild.
People freak out.
Bones4 wants Facechild unmuted.
I respond.
Bones4 asks for a mute.
KfAmped thinks it's funny (most of us did), but then Bones4 starts freekilling.
KfAmped kicks Bones.
We explain what Bones did wrong.
Bones freaks out.
Facechild evades mute and starts doing it all over again.
Bones starts doing it again.
Bones leaves. Facechild rages out music and I kill him, and he leaves too.
I think it's pretty obvious that they were trolling Tezuni's cause it's Tezuni's. It seems pretty low for someone for their social statuses to be doing that. Who can get inb4Bones&Facechild? I imagine they are just waiting for this.

Modification Help / XR_7's Vehicle WIPs (Fixed pictures)
« on: October 08, 2013, 09:27:03 PM »
All of these are done in Google Sketchup, and I don't know how to get them to Milkshape yet. I'm working on a Ferrari F40 (will be called "Calypso" if released) and a '59 Cadillac Eldorado (will be called "Glint" if released). There are no pictures of the Cadillac yet, and it is more complete than the Ferrari (never mind, not as far as I thought). Give me your input, please :)
Edit: I removed the smaller image for imgur ones that are bigger. Included are pictures of the F40 and what I have on the Cadillac so far. The Cadillac is only being completed on one side, and I'll mirror it later.
F40 slot-view
F40 front view
F40 side-view
F40 interior (so far)

I'm sorry about all the photo links, but posting them as an image is always broken (for some reason that I don't understand).

Suggestions & Requests / Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
« on: October 08, 2013, 01:48:39 PM »
I want, no, I need, a "Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" music loop. Who doesn't like pirates anyway? I wasn't turning up search results on the song, and was surprised that there wasn't a loop for it.
