General Discussion / The cowboys and indian canyon build.

« on: January 18, 2008, 05:48:46 AM »

if anyone knows what im talking about, id like to know who built it. it was very good. down to the last detail of pebbles on the ground and crevices on the walls.

it was in the corner of the bedroom, and it was a western-like area with a big cliff that had a mine in it, and there were cacti and mine cars...

it was up on someones server last night.  i was in there with, um.. let me see if i can remember the names.

there was Lord Iron, gir87 (...eighty something), Gah, i cant remember all the names. the combat was pretty intense! 

anyway, cookies to whoever built it. it was totally win! :D

Gallery / Ammo System - Comic

« on: January 05, 2008, 05:53:48 AM »

This is from quite a while ago when i was suggesting a limited ammo system add-on for the weapons in blockland, not knowing that the all-powerful Space Guy had already released one.

anyway, someone asked me to make a comic to easily explain what i was talking about, like did when suggesting a capture-the-flag game mode HERE.


so i made one, colored it and here it is. hope you like it! :)

(i put this in the gallery section because its no longer a suggestion, its already been done, silly!  )

Suggestions & Requests / Shattering Glass Windows

« on: January 04, 2008, 01:45:41 AM »

i think it would be nice if someone could put together and add-on (perhaps Space Guy, because his add-ons are always top quality and full of love), for the window block in the special tab.

it would be rather simple, just the glass shatters (with sounds and chunk particles of course) if its shot at or damaged, and only the frame is left. like the way the window in the bedroom does if you fly into it really fast. then you could shoot or pass through it.

perhaps the glass could reappear after a few seconds, like respawning bricks.


reasons i think it would be good:

*without it, you cant shoot out of a building with glass windows unless you place big holes in the wall, which looks dumb, and which would then make the windows pretty useless.

*also, because it would be pretty epic to be able to just go totally rambo and blow out the whole side of an office building or gas station with a gattling gun or rocket launcher. like in this picture:

Gallery / The Arena - Omega base

« on: January 04, 2008, 01:10:34 AM »

im working on a build im calling "The Arena" for team DM. it will consist of two bases (alpha and omega) at each end and some buildings and fun stuff in the middle.

im pretty much finished with the Omega base, so i decided to post pictures of it. its rather simple, but its the biggest thing ive done since i bought blockland for myself for christmas. :) when its done, it will have the Alpha base opposite, and lots of scenery and fun stuff. hehe.

go ahead and rate if you like, and constructive criticism is appreciated. flaming will simply be ignored. :)

by the way, its made for Slate, and the pictures are taken in Ladio's various Slate edits. :) epic.

Help / "Wrench Events" add-on help please

« on: December 23, 2007, 11:23:06 AM »

first of all, this is in the right place, right? help? or should it be in the "wrench events" thread in the "add-ons" forum?

anyway, if anyone can help me, please do.

ok, so i installed the add-on, and when i wrench a brick, theres the "events" button there, i click it, and theres a menu, like theres supposed to be, but when i click "add event", and go to the dropdown menu, its empty. i assume thats where the events are supposed to be, like color and kill and stuff like that.

does anyone know what the trouble is?

thanks in advance. :)

hey, i was wondering what kindof software can compress files into a .ogg file.

is a standard music editing program likely to be able to do it, or does it have to be a special type of software? thanks! :D

Suggestions & Requests / Limited Ammo Option

« on: November 30, 2007, 01:19:49 AM »

I had this idea that on the brick options, where placing an item, for certain, very powerful items, there could be an option to limit the ammunition.

like the Rocket Launcher for example. if you have one of those on your battle field, whoever has it can totally just wreak havoc. but if were you limit it to 8 or 9 shots, the player would have to be much more careful when choosing when to use it.

this option would also open up different game possibilities. for example, you could have a spear item with only limited shots, then have a maze that can only be navigated successfully with the strategic use of the exact number of spears that are supplied. :) like, have exactly three bricks that block the exit, then limit the spear to three.

when the weapon runs out of ammo, it is removed from the player's item list.


another idea that could make this option more functional is an option to toggle an item respawning. you could have it act like a vehicle, in which it is only returned to the brick where it came from if the carrier is killed, or the weapon runs out of ammo.

does that make any sense? or do i have to draw another comic? ^_^
