Gallery / Tile Town 2

« on: July 26, 2008, 02:34:49 PM »

This is a start-over of an old build that Radial543 and I once made.  It is currently being hosted by my dedicated, and anyone who wants to build should follow the procedure I tell below.

This build is in progress, and I will be posting a few tiles at a time as they get finished. (There is more done other then stuff by me, but that is yet to be posted...)

Current overview:


July 26 overview:


Name: Farm
Description: A farm that grows many things.
Author: laremere


Name: Water wheel and mill.
Description: Tile Town's mill grinds up many of grain
Author: laremere


Name: River
Description: The tile town river powers the water wheel and has several nice bridges.
Author: laremere



How to get building rights:
To keep people from spamming my dedicated and all that dumb stuff, I am now requiring that you post a short portfolio of work.  You just post 2 or 3 screen shots of builds you've done in the past (no need to build something new) and I'll decide if your a good enough builder to get building rights.  Make sure to post your id so that I can enable your building.  Due to my current life situation, I can only turn people on from about 11am to about 4pm central time, though depending on the day I may on the server latter or earlier then that time, sorry for any inconvenience.

Drama / Dr.Bling wants drama so I'll give it to him.

« on: July 23, 2008, 10:39:16 PM »

I once was a friend of Dr.Bling, then I got tired of his drama, so I ignored his server and tried to avoid him.  I just saw him with a old friend of mine from RTB that I hadn't seen in awhile so I thought I'd stick around and chat for a bit.  The discussion rather quickly ended up about how the blockland community is horrible from rather normal chat.  I commented about how he seems to make drama out of simple constructive criticism, and he gets all "If you want to argue, I'll just ignore you".  After a little more discussion, he starts giving links from dozens of topics in the DRAMA section about how this forum LOVES drama.  After a little more chatter, it turns out he isn't mad about drama anymore, he just finds it funny.  Oh, also, now Dr.bling is in Project failerrr.....Project A.  I got banned for saying it like that when I was saying bye.  So, since you just LOVE drama so much Dr.Bling, HERE IT IS:

Games / Is OOT really the Zelda fan favorite?

« on: July 12, 2008, 09:09:02 PM »

This is something I've been wondering about if people really this OOT is the "fan favorite", or is it one that just got allot of hype because it was the first 3d Zelda, and people haven't let go of it.

Games / All games based off of halo/wow

« on: June 03, 2008, 09:07:07 PM »

Ok, this is something that just bugs the crap out of me.  Got a new first person shooter?  It must be based of halo.  Playing a MMORPG, it is obviously a cheap verson of wow. WHAT?!?
1.If anything, halo is based of doom.  No not your high def fancy graphics scare game, but the origonal.  Seriously, halo is based off of other games, and very uncreative.  Just because it is first person, and you shoot things, it doesn't make it a halo nock-off.
2.  MMORPGs are not based of wow.  I was playing Mabinogi a while ago while my sister was having a friend get together, and a few were commenting how it looked like a low budget wow game.  Hello there?  Mabinogi was out years before wow was even started being made.  Heck, I checked the system requirements, and a WINDOWS 98 with good hardware could run it nativly.

It just makes me want to yell at people who say this kind of stuff.  Just because game got popular, it doesn't make all other games of that type instantly based off of it.

Drama / Wondering the current state of opinions towards Roblox

« on: May 05, 2008, 11:34:55 PM »

I'm wonder how people currently feel about Roblox.  This is just a poll to see were the community is at, please be truthful with your vote.

Clan Discussion / which clan should I apply to?

« on: April 24, 2008, 03:09:00 PM »

Ok, I'm kinda on a fence here, should I apply to MotE, or USSR?

MotE-pros:
24/7 server, and I had some friends in it, but I don't know if they're going to reapply and get back in.

Cons-Kinda inactive at the moment, but may get highly active again.  Has a reputation of their members being jerks.

USSR-pros: I like the members, and they seem to be a slightly better clan as far as builds go.  Currently active, but it might die down again.

USSR-cons: I really don't care for Russia, and rather not do all my builds around that theme, but USSR isn't strictly Russia themed.





Any comments and or oppinions?

Modification Help / Learning From The 3000 "Classics"--article by Badspot

« on: April 08, 2008, 02:49:45 PM »

When I was checking up on Badspot.us yesterday, I was glad to see he finally made a new post (after several months of no updates).  Badspot wrote an article with Ben Garney, and I find it very interesting and educational.  While very little of the topics covered in this directly apply to blockland add-ons, I find it teaches several very good concepts that can be applied to making add-ons, or games in general.
Check it out: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/design/features/mame/default.asp

Drama / fake v9ist

« on: February 22, 2008, 08:26:56 PM »

Someone started a fake v9 beta server (I know who, even though they auto admined averyone, they forgot something, but I'm not going to tell)

Guys, please stop teasing everyone, it's not funny.


Also, I crashed the server by making a ton of bricks in about 20 seconds. (look at brick count in pic) Here's a pic of the server on RTB:

Clan Discussion / Simple clan list

« on: February 19, 2008, 11:17:12 PM »

A simple clan listing.  Post the following info on your clan for it to be added to the list.

tag/Name:
Leader:
Building level:
Clan topic link: (optional)
Clan website link: (optional)
Short paragraph about clan:



Note: For building level chose "Low", "Modderate", "High", or "None" (for non-building clans like NIT).  If others that I trust say that your BSing, then I'll change it.  This is just a short list for newer players to see what clans are out there, and for others to hear about clans they've never heard of.

Simple requiremets for being posted: Your clan must be at least a week old and have at least 5 members.
