terrainland

blockland

choose one

stuff logic. implying that having terrain means you can't have blocks. implying you can't pick both when you have terrain.

does every game you guys play have to be literally role playing as a lego minifig?

i mean thats really all the maps were.

not every game you play has to be on an interior map. what's wrong with playing in a lego style map? you can switch to slate any time you want. it's not like everyone HAD to be playing on an interior all the time.

i support maps in a way, but i seriously hate how people are saying all creativity is gone or some false cause means that shadows and shaders makes all servers bad. the game is fine creatively and i don't see how the removal of maps makes you more/less creative in terms of building.

i don't see really any loss in the gsf cities. they can be remade and look/work better than the interior versions. plus you could blow em up and stuff.

i cant say the same for bedroom though because the brick bedrooms dont convey the feeling of being in a house like the interior one did.

it's not that simple lol
and no matter what, it would have looked like crap at the scale blockland is, you'd always see the gross pixels and it would just look ridiculous alongside the actually good looking shaders

it is that simple. you change a couple of lines of code. they've even done it before.

i don't see how it would look ridiculous. if you actually do it right. instead of having your house brick texture contain 12 bricks, have it contain 4. you wouldn't need to blimp up textures like snow and rock and grass, since non-interior maps don't have to have human-scale textures because there isn't a human-scale object to reference

haha, yeah, trying to get on steam with those garbage textures would have been impossible

wood texture
snow texture
grass texture
dont get what point you're trying to make. texture quality could've easily been increased just like it is now.

Now, we have better code, meaning Badspot can make thousands of new awesome updates! I think sticking with one thing (maps) and never changing is better then having thousands of other awesome things (less complex code meaning more cool updates) in exchange for one tiny thing (maps again).

I wouldn't mind it if this were the case, but this clearly isn't the case. There aren't thousands of new updates, and we've yet to see an update that couldn't be done with i&t still in the game.

interiors and terrain were removed because they hindered development on more important things, and they looked like stuff anyways. imo their only saving grace was smooth driving surfaces.

cant wait to see these more important things. been a bit more than a year so far

Instead of rare images, can we just post cool old images? It seems it would be too much work to find out if the images are rare or not.

the point is to post pictures that have historical/unique significance of some sort. not just "black and white old pictures". don't worry, you're doing it right.

that's the important catch heed- once it hits this point, he's actually committing a crime, and there are actually laws in place to stop him

can you cite the law that is being broken? can you cite the punishments? (actually want to know)

Spastic kids gonna be spastic kids, nothing to be done.

this kind of "oh well" attitude aggravates me so much. it aggravates me because it's true, there is nothing to be done. the only thing that can be done is just sit here and wait. there's nothing preventing us from being victims of stuff like this again and again.

Why? What do you get? Please, help me illuminate these strange desires of theirs.

they do it because posts like this make them feel like they've won. they know they've aggravated and irritated a large portion of the community. they're taking their anger that they have towards badspot, ephi, etc and making everyone else feel it as well ie: "Now YOU know how it feels!"

They know that we can't do anything about it. We can talk and say "haa your SO insignificant ha we so aren't mad" but they know there are people who are mad and that it IS affecting and annoying others. they do it because they feel like they have power over everyone else, and they feel like it's making their message clear.

i'm not going to lie, I am annoyed by this. i want to be able to host my server from RTB hosting but now I can't. I paid for the service and it's aggravating me that one kid can shut all this stuff down and there's nothing we can do. i can't just ban him like i do all the other brats, i can't just mute him or kick him and continue hosting. this is one time where stupid forums drama that i normally don't give a stuff about is actually affecting me in-game.

I hope that you guys figure out a way to stop stuff like this, because if the game "goes big" like everyone says they want it to, attacks like this will increase in strength and frequency, and we clearly can't handle them.

Not even made by Elm
You don't know who made it.
You don't even know who packaged it.
There's not even a good shot of the trees (shadows hide all shape)

what are you the fifth hand man? i feel like this topic exists just so you could credit yourself for posting it.

I saw what you posted in the other topic and I disagree very much with what you're doing.
Releasing thing to the community that other people made without their permission is wrong. It's like going up to someone and making them share their toy even if they bought it or spent the time making it. They have the right to do what they want with it, not you. For some reason what you're saying pisses me off to no end.

I make mods to make people happy. I'll decide when I want to release them, not someone else.

I just saw this.
