I don't understand the "it's a children's show" argument, especially when all of my friends who use this argument watch other children's shows

i strongly dislike them for 1 reason
Everywhere i go OH PONYZ

There are many, many subjects that you hear about wherever you go. Very few of them people claim to hate them because of this

There's nothing wrong with playing pretend, or with furries, or roleplaying...
There's just something wrong with the person who hates them with a passion.

The problem is that people seriously believe that they're nothing but a loveual special interest, and that's why they hate them.

Wait, aren't custom bricks .dts but use the .blb for collision?

Other way around

Not really. This idea suggests using a physics engine, while letting the bricks connect at certain points so builds don't tumble.

That's even more inefficient.

It's not loading because you're doing something wrong
If you post the add-on in its entirety (as in, upload every file, not just paste the code) we can eliminate several things that you may have overlooked

so I could make a huge image a .bmp and then making it centerprint on the spawn?
or locate a large image and spam it somehow via events?
holy stuff that is abusable

No, you can't, read:

not unless you have it as a datablock, in which case they'd download it.

Should it be there? I put my folder in the Local Disk.

As of v20, yes it should, unless you specifically tell the launcher otherwise

What's the name of the add-on, and can you post what's inside the namecheck file?

Namecheck isn't needed, and is entirely pointless for a practice add-on that won't be released

A few things to do:
Make sure your description.txt and client.cs are correctly spelled.
Make sure your client.cs is actually client.cs, and not client.cs.txt
Make sure the two files are in a subfolder in the add-ons folder
Make sure the subfolder follows the broad naming requirement (Category_Name)
Did you put it in the Blockland folder in My Documents?
Check the console for errors related to your add-on - Either look through the console in-game, or close the game open the console.log file and ctrl+f for your add-on name

What you are suggesting sounds exactly how bricks worked in 0002.
It was abandoned and replaced with the current method because rendering them was extremely inefficient.

If you mean a GUI modification, those are very easy to disable.
Plus players would have to download it in the first place

Help / Re: How to Make A Dedicated Server

« on: November 26, 2011, 07:55:01 PM »

I launch the dedicated server out of Blockland (start game then etc.)

That's not dedicated

do I need to stay in Blockland or can I exit?

Leave the black console window open



When you installed v20 it gave you an option to create a dedicated shortcut.
If you choose not to, you just need to create another shortcut, with the target ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicated -map mapName"
Change file path to the path to your launcher, and mapName to the name of the map you want.
Alternatly you could just copy your existing shortcut and add -dedicated -map mapName to the end of the target

Looks nice but I'm pretty sure getLine and getLineCount are default functions.

Could you possibly make a function that gets a random letter between [letter1] and [letter2], like getRandom()?

Code: [Select]

function randomLetter(%start,%end)
{
	%letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz";

	if(%start $= "")
		%start = "a";
	if(%end $= "")
		%end = "z";
		
	%pos1 = strPos(%letters,%start);
	%pos2 = strPos(%letters,%end);
	
	return getSubStr(%letters,getRandom(%pos1,%pos2),1);
}

He means bought a third one.

Yes. He bought a second one because his cousin took the first one.
He didn't recieve the email for the second one.
I'm saying I'd laugh if he bought a third one.

Help / Re: Port forwarding hassle - just not working at all.

« on: November 26, 2011, 02:11:48 PM »

... I never found it a hassle to log in and change the last two digits of an ip every couple of days...

I guess I have more patience than some people, or maybe I'm a dumbstuff who couldn't figure out how to do a static ip?

Probably the latter.

It's more of a hassle than setting a static IP once and never needing to do it again.
