Help / Not super important problem: Where can I find this specific Client Add-on?

« on: October 21, 2012, 11:33:16 AM »

The add-on I'm trying to find is a client add-on that separates kills and deaths from regular chat, and displays them on the other side of the screen.

Anyone know the name of this add-on?

General Discussion / What is Player Persistence?

« on: October 07, 2012, 04:02:46 PM »

I was in RTB, and I found that I had an addon called Player Persistence, even though I never remembered downloading it.

What does it do?

General Discussion / To Badspot - Something's wrong with Glow FX.

« on: September 09, 2012, 04:12:03 PM »

Hopefully, you all know what Glow FX is.

In pre-v21 Blockland, the Glow FX would glow in the dark, hence the name. But recently, if you dim the map, Glow FX will not glow. It becomes like a regular brick.

I don't know much about it right now. I don't know if it's me or not, or if it's a bug, or if it's the fact that I have an Intel Graphics card that hates on shaders.

If it turns out it is my computer, I'm probably gonna lock the thread and let it die. But otherwise, Badspot, I would appreciate it if you fixed this bug.

General Discussion / An idea I had for v21 that will put arguing to an end.

« on: July 24, 2012, 04:24:01 PM »

So, we're on the brink of having v21 come in with its shaders, and having the terrains/interiors maps knocked out for good. There's a lot of arguing over this; if you don't believe me, you can check the thread in Development about v21. But what if we could please both sides?

That's why I want you to delay v21 a bit so you can work on making the shaders optional.

Now, hear me out, because you're probably thinking that this is crazy, or maybe you were planning on it. But what I'm trying to suggest here is a simple add-on to v21 that will allow those  who want shaders to have them, and for those who want terrain to keep and enjoy the terrain/interior maps.

In Graphics options, you should add a check-box that is titled as "Enable Shaders". Uncheck the box, and the terrain/interior maps will be open for you to play on. Check it, and those maps will be locked. You can't enter a server that's on a terrain/interior map if you have Shaders checked off, but you can if you don't.

Hopefully by now, you're getting my idea.

Of course, there will be criticism.

• "You can't do this with Blockland."
• "Just build the terrain."
• "There is a perfectly fine Terrain add-on you can download."
• "It won't look pretty."
• "It'll make absolutely no sense for slate maps to have shaders and terrain maps will not."

But, I'm here to beat down those points as well.

• Judging by what we CAN do in Blockland, I find this a lie.
• I want to have a Fort Wars server. You expect me to build the endless amount of terrain required for it?
• That terrain isn't natural terrain. It's just a bunch of wedges and flat pieces.
• Some people don't WANT it to be pretty, because they want a very great game gameplay-wise, not a graphics powerhouse.
• This is a game. Things don't have to make sense. You think that in real life, you can hit an object with a wrench and have a loaded gun pop out of it?

And yes, I can expect that this is on the wrong forum. But think; do you have any idea how many more people will view this than if it were on Suggestions? Do you think Badspot would view this if it were on the right forum, as compared to if he had to move it because it was on the wrong forum?

Think about this. Because sometimes things on terrain are more beautiful than shaded things.








Comments and criticism appreciated.

Help / Persistent problem with brick textures.

« on: July 17, 2012, 02:15:35 PM »

So, I downloaded Squideey's brick textures, and I downloaded User Content Alpha.

I had no content folder in "config", so I made one, and did all the jazz. (made data folder with shapes folder inside)

I then placed the new textures in the new folder.

The loving default textures still pop up.

Please help

Help / Urgent problem with downloading Blockland.

« on: June 29, 2012, 03:59:08 PM »

I have a Windows Vista computer, and I've downloaded Blockland several times before. Problem is, whenever I download it, sooner or later the computer randomly overheats and shuts down.

What is this? Is there a way to fix it?
