Off Topic / Yesterday, I saw a kitten shed tears for a friend. Today I took photos!

« on: January 15, 2010, 02:36:15 AM »

► Bad things happening to you is not drama

So, a few months ago, my dad and mother-in-law got a female Balinese kitten. They named her 'Bliss', and she was the epitomy of kittenhood: cute and good-natured.

Now, we live on an acreage here and our direct neighbours have two dogs. Last night, I guess Bliss strayed too close to the boundary fence; one of the dogs caught her, pulled her through the fence, and killed her. We weren't outside with her, but we're pretty sure what happened - there's a furrow in the ground under the fence, muddied with a bit of blood.

When my dad was out looking for her when she didn't come in, he saw the owner of those two dogs carrying a bag to the bin, and asked him if he'd seen Bliss. She was in that bag, and he'd planned to just throw her in the dumpster and not tell us what happened. We buried her about ten minutes later. She was still warm. While tragic, I barely felt a thing last night.

But let's go back a little way:

Three days ago, we got a call off the breeder that we got Bliss from. The people buying her brother had backed out, and he needed a good home. We picked him up from the breeder, and named him Cosmo. For two days Bliss wouldn't have a thing to do with him, as much as he wanted to play. But yesterday afternoon, she actually started playing with him. They were tearing round the house, having a royally good time before Bliss went outside in the evening.

Today, all day, Cosmo has been searching the house for his playmate, meowing, searching behind the furniture, scratching at doors. Five minutes ago, he came and sat at my feet, and looked up at me, and meowed just once. And I looked down, and he was actually crying. This little kitten, no more than a third of the way to fully grown shedding a tear for his friend at finally understanding she's gone.

I didn't feel a twinge at my heart last night when I saw a cat buried, white fur soiled with blood and urine. And I'm crying right now for this kitten.

Creativity / Web Design (HTML/CSS + PHP/SQL) Experiments!

« on: January 13, 2010, 01:03:56 AM »

Today I found myself very briefly reinvigorated to try and make some randomly cool stuff, and ended up coming up with a new design. Wanting feedback, I venture here, to approach you (the consumer!) for feedback, or ideas. Or hell, even requests if you'd like to see something made.

Note: Images are limited in size to 200px width, click them to view.
The first design (which I made today), titled 'Arc' for obvious reasons:

It's just the bare bones of the design, but it already looks nice and makes me happy.
A.R.C, I barely know you but this one goes out to you because... well I dunno. It just made me giggle when I realized.


And my only other notable design (that I didn't delete when I found that I actually had 49 of them in my WIP folder and no idea what I was doing with any of them), titled 'Gær' because I think I was very tired or drunk (or both!) when I started it. And it looks nice so it stuck, or maybe it could be 'Gear' with the e/a swapped and merged. The world may never know.

This one has considerably more work done. It actually has a basic parser system attached, and some data placed in databases and well; it's semi-functional, to say the most. The parser is wholly custom built; rather than using $_GET I'm using the whole query string and doing my own thing to it (I was bored, sue me). I could type about four A4 pages of rant on all of this thing, and it's barely a quarter done, but I'll get round to finishing it someday. in other words it ships with duke nukem forever


Feel free to post your own little HTML freakouts! I'll be posting updates whenever I actually do something with these, or make something new. I'd like to know what you think or what you've made too.

General Discussion / Master Server names bugged?

« on: September 01, 2009, 04:25:14 AM »

Just noticed this now - a lot of names of servers are cut off at seemingly arbitrary points.

ie,

Code: [Select]

YorkTown95's CityRPG Se23 character cutoff, middle of a word

Code: [Select]

rAndOm CaPs's [NWB] Server- Amusement37 character cutoff, end of a word

So it's not a word limit and it has some strange, strange cutoff point - I call bug.

Suggestions & Requests / V13/Blockland update suggestions

« on: August 27, 2009, 04:40:01 AM »

Because I don't think that the V12 bugs thread is a good place to put these.

• SetShapeName() restrictions - the shapename restrictions should possibly be loosened, perhaps to allow the setting of a shapeName on an AIplayer, and maybe on players as long as it contains the name that would regularly be forced. I know that there is the issue of people imposting as yourself, however if someone is fooled by a bot standing around when you aren't in the server, then odds are they deserve to be fooled. I don't really see why I shouldn't be able to have my name backwards on my own server.
  
  
• GameConnection::getPlayerName() - It would be nice if the auth system referenced the client's base name, not what this function returns; the main practical use of having a function like this to me seems to be so I could parent it if I wanted to have custom names for an RPG mod or somesuch, but unfortunately doing this causes authfails without massive amounts of hacking. ie parenting workaround variables onto something like 20 other functions, and even then half of it doesn't seem to work perfectly.
  
  Perhaps a GameConnection::setPlayerName() which attaches to their shapename, WhoTalkSO display, and chat without killing their ability to fulfill regular auth requirements?
  
  
• BLB Downloading - Now I don't think this is likely to make it into V13, but come on, Badspot. You made this big format and it sees so little use because people have to go and find the right copy of the mod to see any of it - why hasn't this been in since the advent of BLBs? If people don't want to download them, it's not like you couldn't add a 'Download Custom Bricks' option.
  
  
• Event system upgrades - now I'm not 110% sure on this, but I believe that a lot of the WrenchEventsDlg is hardcoded so that new objects will cause problems. One could, in theory, add an input event logic/arguments dialog when you select an input event, but I don't believe that dynamically adding to the format of an event line in the GUI would be feasible.
  
  On top of that, it may also be nice to have a 'Default Targets' list for adding targets like the Named Brick input (ie on every event), or a per-client list argument (like the named brick list but for event arguments and of other types). I know it seems like I'm whining, but this stuff may possibly allow for some quite unique event sets.
  
  
• That engine fix that Trader wanted since something like four versions ago.

Anything else to add? I would hope that we could possibly get Badspot's opinion on some suggestions here.

It has occured to me that this might be better placed in Suggestions & Requests, however this is as much a discussion thread as it is for the suggesting in and of itself.

Modification Help / Remote Memberlist

« on: August 23, 2009, 12:12:27 PM »

Well, I had this silly, silly idea that I could perhaps access a Blockland forums topic, read the first post, and find a member list of a certain format. Then I could (in theory) read through this list, creating a local copy of it, when the server is opened or a manual refresh is called, creating a remote memberlist that can be used by any clan.

So, I needed a topic to test, and I'd also like feedback on the idea. This is that topic, and if you have any thoughts about this, or ideas, or if you're Badspot and you'd like me not to make this because of some issue you'd have with a script accessing the forums, post away.

Member List

This is the list from The Craftsmen's clan topic.[/shamelessplug]


Note: These names are selected at random basically from who was around at the time I thought of this, and S/A status does not have any notable inflection on my opinions of the people in general. For example, I would never trust Monty with admin status as much as I love him.


Upd00t: (6:05am lolnocturnal)
I have it working. As of right now, it will take that list up there, and add everyone on it to a local list (except Mr. I am invalid, because -2 isn't a real BL_ID!)
And right now, it doesn't do anything else! Except this:

Yes, I'm just executing the .cs from my config folder, sue me.

Modification Help / Datablock rechargeRate field - removed?

« on: July 11, 2009, 09:40:21 AM »

Seriously, has this been disabled?

Because for some reason, even on datablocks with a rechargeRate of 0 they still recharge energy at the default rate.

And I have no addons enabled - only Fuel-Jet, Leap-Jet and Jump-Jet players (the default ones.)

Add-Ons / Sub Events

« on: June 23, 2009, 12:48:24 AM »

Sub Events
Allows you to do all kinds of crazy stuff if you know how!

Description
Contains a grand total of:
- ONE Input Event
- ONE Output Event
onSub input, and doSub output.

The doSub output has two parameters: first and last events to process. It then processes all events of onSub input starting at the lower and ending at the upper bound you supply:

• 0 [ x ] 0 onActivate -> Self -> doSub [ 1, 2 ]
• 1 [ x ] 0 onSub -> Self -> SetColor [ Red ]
• 2 [ x ] 0 onSub -> Client -> Centerprint [ Hello World!, 2 ]
• 3 [ x ] 0 onSub -> Self -> killBrick

Activating that brick would cause it to turn red and centerprint. Changing the 2 in the doSub event to a 3 would also cause it to kill.

v2: Introduced loop delay enforcement (like onRelay -> FireRelay delays)
RTB Server Control has a preference for this, it is by default 100ms minimum delay and can be set as high as 1000ms (one second).

Edit (7:35am 24-6-2009 GMT+10): Fixed a bug where if you provide the start and end of range in reverse, the safeguards would instead set them both to be the lower value instead of swapping them. Fixed this - thanks, Space Guy!

Modification Help / Curiosity: How did the v8 wrench event mod save events?

« on: June 03, 2009, 07:46:27 AM »

This is perhaps a question for Space Guy - how did the old v8 wrench events addon save events?

I'm half-curious of it but I also feel that it might be useful in some way for *gasp* SAVING ALTERNATIVE VALUES ON BRICKS.
Or Badspot should implement a system for adding extra values that are saved on bricks. That'd be loving great. Hear me? loving great. Do it already. Please.

...it wasn't, by any chance, saving the transform and datablock of each brick with events, and loading made a box search at each evented brick's position, finding a brick matching that transform and datablock and adding events to it? I'm not entirely sure that'd be efficient but it seems viable and it's what came to mind, but there's probably some other/better way I couldn't figure.

Add-Ons / Output Event - setProperties, saving you time!

« on: June 01, 2009, 08:01:18 AM »

Output Event - setProperties
Sick of using setColliding - setRendering - setRaycasting?

Description
So simple, that you'll probably dismiss it as useless, but it literally JUST occured to me that having to scroll through a hundred-odd events to find setColliding, then doing it AGAIN for setRendering, then AGAIN for setRaycasting if you need to set different properties on a brick. This does all three events in one (I could possibly manually remove setColliding/setRendering/setRaycasting from the list, but probably won't.)

The three booleans (checkboxes) are:
RAYCASTING COLLIDING RENDERING
In that order.

Installation

Side Note
This took like 10 seconds to make. I don't know WHY nobody did it before, because it saves a ton of time in the long run - especially when you're on a server that's bogged down with a million events.

Gallery / Cliffside - Another Cubescape - RotB App

« on: May 14, 2009, 09:37:26 AM »

I loving love cubescape builds. Sue me.

Cliffside Cubescape
By Clockturn - BL_ID 4332






The images kind of speak for themselves, but the cliff has a ton of caves and I couldn't be bothered to screenshot everything (nor could I do that since even I don't quite remember where everything is.)
There's enough cave space, however, which can be accessed without jets with some careful climbing (not really difficult at all) to allow several people to camp on the cliffside. Could be good for a survival RPG if someone scripts a good one... hey, maybe I will! Or maybe I won't. Next week, on the slow-moving adventures of Clockturn...

Brickcount: 2050

Yes, I have applied for RotB unsuccessfully before. I've progressed a lot in various other forms of building than what I posted then, and this is a good example. It took me around two hours to get to this stage once I sat down and got to work properly; and like any of my builds, it will never be properly complete, because a) I'm a lazy forget, b) I'm not entirely sure what to add to it myself, aside from trees, however c) I suck at building trees to add to landscapes, and somehow short pine trees don't do something of this scale justice.

So, for now, it's an unadorned cubescape. The save is provided; there are no events (a landslide would have been nice, but it'd be pointless because physics don't kill you)

Save File - Cliffside.bls

As for making it larger, I do actually plan to expand on this downstream along the river and further away from the cliff as well, to a size of at maximum eight by eight 64x bases. It's currently 2x2. Whether I do expand it or not, well, we'll see.

There's my console.log. As you can see, no add-ons, nothing is running there, and it's broken.

And that's in dedicated mode, so no client add-ons were initialized either.

Add-Ons / Compass and Waypoint System

« on: March 27, 2009, 08:53:02 AM »

Compass and Waypoints
A clientside compass with waypoints both client and serverside.

Description
Credits:
Mr. Wallet - Compass and point display code
(Actually he says it's Zors but I got it from Wallet's Campester GUI)
NiXiLL - Because I always credit Nix

Usage:
Bind a key to Waypoint GUI under Compass in controls.
You can also bind a key to toggle the compass directly.

Press said key to open the GUI:
 - Adding dialog:
 Enter a name, check the box if it's a waypoint on the server (you must be an admin to add a waypoint on the server) and click add.

 - Removing or updating:
 Select a waypoint and click remove or update. Only an admin can remove or update a serverside waypoint (marked with a *).

 - Saving or loading:
 Click the disk (bottom right of the GUI next to the checkbox) to open the save/load dialog. Enter the name and hit save or load depending on what you want to do.
 You can't load serverside waypoints unless you're an admin, same as always.

Check the checkbox in the bottom right of the GUI to toggle the compass/radar. You can also use the mentioned keybind to do this.


Update: v1 -> v2
+ Waypoint sharing via chat: Simply use +WPSHARE (name of your clientside waypoint here) and anyone on the server with the mod who receives your message will add that waypoint to their compass.
Advanced: +WPSHARE (name) + (newname) - sends waypoint (name) with name (newname) - will create a duplicate waypoint on your compass though.
+ Added a Brick->setWaypoint event to the server component. This will not allow use of a serverside waypoint name.
 -> Brick->setWaypoint[name,remove]
  Check the checkbox to remove a waypoint of that name. Leave unchecked to add a waypoint of that name.
  Evented waypoints cannot be edited on the client, cannot overwrite client or serverside waypoints, but can overwrite other evented waypoints.

+ Minor bugfix: Pressing enter instead of clicking add when adding a waypoint would not check if it is to be serverside.

Add-Ons / CashmodII

« on: March 06, 2009, 08:43:56 PM »

CashmodII
A NEW cashmod for Blockland to enjoy bitch and whine about, as you do whenever someone gives you their work free of charge.

Description
Features:
 - Uses a small, unobtrusive bottomprint (which allows evented bottomprint messages)
 - Highly configurable - From color to symbol to name, you can control your currency (including the item color, with a restart)
 - Uses only a few commands - /give (give money to who you're looking at), /drop, /grant (for admins, grant to who you're looking at), plus /yes and /no for the transfer event
 - A few events - ifPlayerCash, cashTransfer and cashBank - ifPlayerCash and cashTransfer need Variable Events.
 - cashBank event works like a CityRP bank once invoked
 - Drop cash on death functionality
 - FULL SAVING, without an object-spamming database (although it does a lot of file work)

Credits:
 - Iban, for half of the cash drop (ssh, nobody tell him I'm using it)
 - Darren (Haylord), for nagging me until I worked on it
To clarify, he was running a server with this before it worked.
 - NiXiLL, for... I dunno, but he has some credit because he's Nix.

Protip: If you find a bug, stick it where the sun don't shine - my PM inbox on either forum.

Oh, and a note: It is not currently toggleable. Turn it off at server start if you're not using it.

New in v2:
 - Added Brick Cost by volume; since RTB's Pref Manager lacks a float value, it is ten times the cost per volume. A value of 1 is $0.10 per volume (1 volume is the size of a 1x1F, a 1x1 has 3, 2x1 has 6, etc.)
 - Added onto /grant: It is now /grant amount name. If you use "me" as the name it will be you, in case you have a stupid name. If the name is omitted, it works like the old one.
 - cashAdd event: Requires adminship the same way the full bank does.
 - cashTransfer and ifPlayerCash events will now be disabled if you do not have Event_Variables enabled.
 - Added /reset: For anyone, /reset can be used to reset yourself. If you're an admin, you can add a name to reset that person.

And a note with this update: I have been told about a lot of instances of bank amounts going into negatives. I have been unable to replicate this or find any reason for it to happen.

Minor edit: Fixed a dumb mistake with how cash banking was dealt with.

Add-Ons / Event - ifPlayerDirection

« on: March 02, 2009, 05:56:39 PM »

ifPlayerDirection
Check the player's Up/Down, North/South and East/West facings.

Description
Short description says it all.
Usage:

List - North/South, East/West, Up/Down
 - Direction to check. True/False, so North, East and Up are True, South, West and Down are False.
Checkbox
 - Invert Condition. True/False become False/True, meaning North, East and Up are now False, South, West and Down are now True. Needed if you need to quickly change your event around.

Requires Variable Events! RTB couldn't seem to find it in the system.
