Suggestions & Requests / Speedometers and such.

« on: February 28, 2008, 01:31:47 PM »

Has the idea of some kind of speedometer ever been considered for vehicles, along with other devices such as altimeters (although I can see that implementing something like that on a level such as bedroom many be tricky) and artificial horizons on airborne vehicles? Maybe a small instrument panel coming up in the bottom right hand corner or something. Perhaps even some kind of indicator that shows which direction you are facing, as a number of modelers seem to have a tendency of building vehicles that don't let you see what direction you are turning when you are driving them.

Not that I'm suggesting that parts of Blockland should start mimicking flight simulators. I just feel that some kind of information about what you are currently doing may make using vehicles a little easier, and may help reduce the number of plane landings that are 'Aim for an empty space and try not to bounce too much'.

Gallery / Oil Rig DM.

« on: February 21, 2008, 07:49:26 PM »

After seeing the [USSR] Oilwell DeathMatch, I wondered if a oil rig could make a good DM. After a few weeks of sporadic work, I've knocked up a small and simple DM based on an oil rig.






It's nothing excessively detailed, weighing in at merely 3,540 bricks. I was aiming more for a good map design than a detailed build, and was looking to keep the brick count down so it wouldn't tax even the most ancient machines. Feel free to detail it up a bit if you so wish, or make any comments about it.


The 10 white squares dotted around the map can be used as spawns for whatever your choice of weapons is. You may also want some kind of script or something that kills players who fall off. Save opens in Slate Storm, or just Slate.
