Add-Ons / Text Signs
« on: August 21, 2015, 08:50:23 PM »
Text Signs
* written by Zapk, but he gave me permission to post the addon.
Text signs are floating, fully configurable colissionless text boxes that are spawned by bricks. They have the same font as the default print letters, and even support more characters.
When a new text sign is made from a brick, the current one is deleted. This event also takes place when the brick is removed.
If you want a text sign to stay after being loaded in your server, simply use the onMinigameReset event.
Events
Note: This supports <br> and <color:######>

General Discussion / Timescale hell.
« on: August 20, 2015, 04:17:28 PM »
Join my server for extreme timescale and farlands abuse.
Timescale gradually goes up and down smoothly, but it gets pretty funny results.
When you spawn, type /farlands

Gallery / Post Panorama Screenshots + Tutorial
« on: July 30, 2015, 12:44:27 PM »
Post your panorama screenshots made in blockland.
If you dont know how to make a panorama, you can type in your console
doPanoramaScreenShot(1);
Then remove your vignette:
clientCmdSetVignette("0", "0 0 0 0");
You can also take it one step further by using Block Cam: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=226035.0
And make sure to set your FOV high. (like 120)
Next, you wanna use a panorama stitcher. http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ is really good.
While stitching the panoramas, you want to set your horizontal field of view (HFOV) depending on your FOV you used while taking screenshots.
Because Torque rotates your character a certain way while taking panoramas, make sure you follow this simple equation to calculate your HFOV in degrees:
hfov = fov * 0.75
Since my FOV was 120 while taking panoramas, I will get the result: 90 degrees.
(You dont need to calculate your focal length, since its calculated automagically by your HFOV, and you also wanna just leave Lens type to Normal)
Press OK, then it will not look very good, all the corners will be jagged.
Now press "Align" to stitch and align your images, this will make it look like a real panorama.
Then you can press "Create Panorama" to finally turn it into an image. (Make sure you save your image in a directory without any spaces, otherwise it will throw an error)
And now here is the final image:
Now post your own panoramas in Blockland!

Suggestions & Requests / ►►►Taking Simple Add-on Requests◄◄◄ (Revived)
« on: June 21, 2015, 01:30:00 AM »
I feel it would be cool reviving Swollow's topic and take addon requests on my own. I have the entire summer off, and this would give me something to do. But don't expect me to finish them very fast, I'm not a machine.
So yeah before I do anything I would like to see some requests being made. But read the rules first:
► Quick RulesTo my liking...
• No Vehicles •
• No Gamemodes •
• Provide Models if required •
• Weapons must be simple & easy to make! •
• Please provide as much detail as possible before requesting an addon •
► Express Queue
Stuff that is mainly my priority, usually because the addons are pretty simple to make.
► Working Later...
Stuff that will have to wait because I am either too busy or the addon will take a while to complete.
► Released Addons

General Discussion / Biotracks and Honno's Super Murder Mystery!
« on: June 17, 2015, 05:28:12 PM »
What is Super Murder Mystery?
Super Murder Mystery is a whodunit-like gamemode that involves two parties: The Mafia and Innocents. The Mafia's job is to kill all the innocents in the map, but they must do it carefully, because they are outnumbered by a lot of armed people. The innocents job is to find out who is the mafia, and bring them down. The original gamemode is made by Port.
The Team
- Biotracks - Host, Ideas, Artwork
- Honno - Main Developer, Coder
Features
- A system that logs all RDM'ers and sends it to the admin. This ensures all admins know who are the RDM'ers, and can punish them accordingly.
- Adventure Pack integration and icons done by Biotracks.
- More to come soon.
The Rules
1. No Random Deathmatching as Innocent (RDM)
2. No Metagaming
2a. This means do not call out:
- Locations of any players.
- The name of the player who killed you or anyone else. (In separate chat like Teamspeak)
- If you are mafia.
3. No Bodybagging as Innocent
4. Respect the admins decisions.
4a. Biotracks / Honno have the final decision.
Breaking any of these rules can lead to punishment such as a temporary ban or permanent ban from the server. All rules vary.
Sponsors

Admin Application
As an admin, you are required to full-fill your duties by finding and punishing RDM'ers, while also participating in the gamemode itself. (You can also leave the minigame to watch the full log / spectate)

Add-Ons / Improved Fetch/Find
« on: June 14, 2015, 12:09:47 PM »
Improved Fetch / Find
This addon makes life much easier, by allowing the player to fetch / find other players, while spectating, or using the F8 camera. Basically allowing you to teleport a player to your camera's position, or teleport your camera to a player's position.
I first saw this on Crowns jail escape, so I decided to recreate it and package it into an addon. Thanks Crown for the idea!
Packaged Commands:
Functions (some taken from the Blockland itself, but simplified for Torquescript usage):
Download:

I tested the latest build, and everything seems to work fine, but please let me know of any bugs you encounter, or anything I could improve.
