Suggestions & Requests / Incease bullet speed limit

« on: December 18, 2008, 09:13:33 AM »

I remember in v8 you could fire the Sniper Rifle and instantly hit the target. After some searching, I found out that the maximum value of MuzzleVelocity seems to have been lowered after v9. The result is that some weapons, like the sniper rifle, has become less useful.

Suggestions & Requests / High Scores script

« on: December 18, 2008, 07:47:54 AM »

How about a script that checks players' score as they leave and register it within a High Score list?

Say /highscores to view the top 10 scores or so.

Suggestions & Requests / Auto-reject trust invites

A good feature would be ignore all trust invites, so the only way to get your trust would be to get the invite from you.

General Discussion / MaxPlayers more than 32

« on: December 16, 2008, 08:54:44 AM »

I know you can use IGSO to set the MaxPlayers setting above 32, but on the server list, the setting will never go above 32. This causes the server to be shown as Full when it's not.

Is it possible to fix this? If not, I suggest fixing it in v11.

EDIT: The problem is that the RTB server manager can't enable more than 32 players, so if you set it to higher with IGSO, then update the RTB server settings, the limit will be set to 0.

EDIT2: 20.-21. Dec 2008: Picture speaks for itself:



No lag whatsoever.

Modification Help / Armored vehicles

« on: December 15, 2008, 09:39:50 AM »

I'm looking for a way to simulate armored vehicles, like the Tank.

The idea is to subtract a given value from the DirectDamage from projectiles, so only the most powerful weapons will do anything at all. Also, I'd like to implement immunity to radius damage from HEGrenade, Rocket Launcher, etc.

EDIT: On second thought, this would make the Sniper Rifle very effective against vehicles... Any ideas?

Modification Help / M16 single shot

« on: October 05, 2008, 05:29:43 AM »

I was asked to release my M16 port/mod from my Dogfight server.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ymnzm1mcm20

I'm only going to release the script for now (since I used others' model/sound). If anyone feel like making/contributing an M16 model and/or sound, contact me via PM, and maybe we could release the full mod.

Modification Help / More than 32 players?

« on: October 03, 2008, 07:24:10 PM »

Someone told me that setting max players above 32 could cause problems because there were more players than open ports. I was wondering if the game could in a way be tweaked to work with more than 32 clients without lag.

Modification Help / Server crash

« on: October 03, 2008, 07:02:54 PM »

Recently my dedicated server has been crashing a lot. Sometimes the Blockland client simply "vanishes", sometimes the server dies, and I "lag out" normally. It started today, after I did some modifications:
- Fooly Cooly Fun Commands added
- CI and Icon downloading script added
- Flamethrower port added
- Weapon media relocated
- Vehicles U1 Iroquis and Biplane modifications now point to existing media instead of it being included in new "-mod" zips

Server console log before crash:
- Full log not available at the moment
- The last script that executes always seems to be this one.
- Second last line is "failed/unknown function vehicleblowup" or something like that. (See above script)
- Last line is some weird stuff containing many arrows to words, like Player->Player->Client->...

This must be fixed as soon as possible, and - as always - your help is much appreciated.

LOCK THIS TOPIC

I could use something that adds some limitations to admins. Super admins should not be affected.

- No permabans
- No bans longer than 15 minutes
- No Fetch/Find/Warp

Thanks for any help.

Modification Help / Disabling brick ownership

« on: October 02, 2008, 06:04:15 AM »

If there isn't already a way to do this, I need a script that disables brick ownership completely. I'm hosting a dedicated server, and I have a problem with item/vehicle spawns stop functioning in mini-game after the builder leaves, so I'd like it if the hosting computer could take over all bricks somehow.

Is there a way to force downloading of specific files? E.g weapon CI images.

Modification Help / Project: UH1 modification

« on: September 27, 2008, 02:39:16 AM »

I have decided to include a new vehicle on my server: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=42010.0

This is a cool chopper, but it has a few flaws, which I need some help fixing.

I want it to:
- Move vertically instead of forward/backward (with W and S)
- "Tilt"/rotate "sideways" instead of strafing (with A and D)



I don't even know if this is possible, seeing how the original author (Peaceful War) could/did not do this.

Any help is very much appreciated, and I'll see if I can make up for it somehow (credits, adminship?).

PS: This modification should not be posted at the forums, as the author may be against it.

Modification Help / Script: Build rights

« on: September 14, 2008, 11:49:03 AM »

In v8 there was a helpful script that requires players to have build rights in order to build (handed out by admin). I need a similar script for v9, or a port of the old one (attached). Also, I'd like to have the commands shortened (from "/givebuildrights", "/revokebuildrights") to save typing time. E.g "/rights", "/norights".

Any help is appreciated.

Modification Help / CI image not transparent

« on: May 15, 2008, 02:53:42 PM »

So I made this M16 CI icon (shown in corner by player names when someone is killed by that weapon). Problem is, the background is white, not transparent.
An easy way to fix this?
