Modification Help / Stopping 2D sounds?

« on: April 06, 2013, 01:05:55 AM »

So I was experimenting with the command play2d(); on my client. I played music, but now I need to stop it. I need to know if there is even a way to stop it because if there is, then I can update my Minigame Music addon. I need a command that would be sort of like stop2d(); or something like that.

Modification Help / Cannot identify syntax error

« on: February 18, 2013, 08:53:12 PM »

I can't find this syntax error in my Falling Tiles gamemode script. I don't know how this is a syntax error in the first place.

Code: [Select]

$FallingTiles::Controller=0;
package fallingtiles
{
	function MinigameSO::Reset(%minigame,%client)
	{
		Parent::Reset(%minigame,%client);
		$FallingTiles::Controller=0;
	}
	function MinigameSO::setController(%minigame,%this,%cl)
	{
		$FallingTiles::Controller=%this;
		if(%this==2)
			$FallingTiles::ContClient=%cl;
		else
			$FallingTiles::ContClient=0;
	}
	function MinigameSO::checkForReset(%minigame,%client)
	{
		echo("Checking to see if we should reset");
		%alivePlayers=0;
		%a = -1;
		%players[0]=0;
		for(%i=0; %i < %minigame.numMembers; %i++)
		{
			%client = %minigame.member[%i];
			echo("Found client "@%client.name);
			if(isObject(%client.player))
			{
				echo("Client is alive");
				%alivePlayers++;
				if(%client!=$FallingTiles::ContClient)
				{
					%players[%a++]=%client;
				}
				else
				{
					echo("Client is controller");
				}
			}
		}
		if($FallingTiles::Controller==2 && %alivePlayers==2)
		{
			%minigame.messageAll('',"\c5The round has finished. \c3"@%players[0].name@ " \c5is the winner! They get \c31\c5 point!");
			GameConnection::incScore(%players[0],1);
			%minigame.scheduleReset(5000);
		}
		else if($FallingTiles::Controller==1 && %alivePlayers==1)
		{
			%minigame.messageAll('',"\c3"@%players[0].name@ "\c5 gets \c31\c5 point for winning.");
			%minigame.scheduleReset(5000);
		}
	}
	registerOutputEvent(##M##inigame,"setController","list NONE 0 Bot 1 Player 2",1);
	registerOutputEvent(Minigame,"checkForReset","",1);
};
activatepackage(fallingtiles);

Can anyone help?

Gallery / Party Place (WIP)

« on: December 13, 2012, 08:30:33 PM »

Party Place!

This project was not finished in time. The server has been up but nobody has really come. Sorry if anybody actually cared about this project. This server will be up other times though.

DESCRIPTION

The Party Place is a work-in-progress party center where you can hang out with your friends and have fun with the many activities you will be able to do there. So far, four activities are already finished, and more will be added soon. This will be open before/during New Years Eve.

Unfortunately, I have been on vacation since the 22nd and I came back on the 30th. Two activities have not been finished, however I have opened this up for anyone who was waiting. Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you will understand.

REQUIRED/OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
So far there is only one optional addon. One lets you hear the music the timer plays when it hits zero. The other is not really an addon, but make sure that Download Music is on. If it isn't, open up options, then go to the network tab then tick Download Music. Some people weren't able to hear music even with the download music option ticked. If this is the case for you if you join, then download the music download provided below. Download speed may vary.

This allows you to hear the music when the timer hits zero. Optional.
System_2DMusic.zip

This is for people who are having trouble downloading music. Required (if having trouble)
Be sure to read the readme inside the .zip. Feel free to delete it after reading.
Music.zip

PLANNED FEATURES

Here is a list of the activities you will be/are able to do in the Party Place. Features that are crossed out are ones that have been built already. Underlined features are ones that are being built.

• Swimming Pool
• Gymnasium
• Bar
• Dance Floor
• Countdown Clock for certain events
• Multiple floor lobby
• Small food court in lobby

More features will becoming soon. Feel free to suggest some!

PICTURES

Here are pictures of the work-in-progress Party Place Center. Feel free to criticize but not too harsh (i.e. "it sucks", "it shouldn't be posted here")

Please note that some pictures will be different from others.

Here is the exterior of the building so far. I've acknowledged the color and build feedback and it has improved a bit. A whole recolor is in effect as well.


Here's the gymnasium. I built this in Badspot's server, actually, and I managed to get it in my building.


The lobby once you walk in the doors. The second floor is where the food court small food place will be.


This is the swimming pool. This could really use some work, and I would gladly take suggestions for this especially.


This is the control room. It controls the timer and the lights around the building.


This is the dance floor. It's just about finished, and the only thing I need to do now is add two more popular songs to the song player. I have Gangnam Style in it though.

FEATURES IN FEATURES

I know, that doesn't make sense. But these are some features in some bigger features around the building.

GYMNASIUM

• Functional scoreboard. Timer that starts at 5 minutes, along with other things you would find on a basketball scoreboard.
• Dodgeball!
• Countdown clock. This will only be mentioned once, because it's practically in every room except bathrooms.
• Announcer's box. Has several buttons to control the scoreboard. Do not abuse.
• Sound system. Speakers in almost every single corner of the gym.

SWIMMING POOL

• Swimming pool (bet you didn't see that one coming)
• Hot tub in corner of the pool.
• Some small chairs
• Two bathrooms with a stall or two. Depends on the gender of the restroom.

DANCE FLOOR NEW!

• Main part of the floor is 30x30
• 3 entrances: Two from lobby and one from the hallway by the pool.
• Will have a music selector along with lights. However access to this room is limited to admins and above to prevent abuse.
• Future song list: Gangnam Style, Party Rock Anthem (loop), and more to come. Be sure to suggest some!

LOBBY

• Welcome sign
• Two couches with a remote control on them.
• Two televisions that are controlled by each remote on the couches
• Front desk. Will add buttons for visitors to click for help.

COUNTDOWN CLOCK
The countdown clock is special, because it has a really fun surprise when it reaches zero. I'll give you a hint: the clock digits light up and turn off on beat with a song. I won't give it out though, but if you know it (somehow,) don't reveal it please. This is obviously revealed when extracting the music zip if you have trouble downloading it with the option ticked.

Modification Help / Blockland Specific Console Commands?

« on: November 21, 2012, 08:59:30 PM »

So I have known Lua for almost 5 years, no other programming language. I know barley java and TorqueScript. I have had Blockland for 4 years now and I have decided to try to code something. The problem is, all the command references that are stickied only give TorqueScript commands, meaning that any game using it will always have those commands. But I can't find any command references that tell you all the commands that are unique to Blockland. Is there any place that can tell me all of them? Don't tell me to use trace(); it's really difficult and I need a list of commands. does not work for me, it doesn't search for the right thing like 95% of the time. Google, doesn't help either. Thanks.

Help / Teleport Brick?

« on: January 29, 2012, 06:23:31 PM »

Hi. I was looking in my special bricks and I saw a teleport brick. I saw it once in a server and it worked, but this one doesn't in my game. I don't even recall downloading it and enabling it. ???

Help / Game lags like hell after map loadup

« on: May 23, 2011, 12:59:55 AM »

I'm trying to host a server, but for some reason, the FPS drops a whole lot, making building difficult. I exited the server out, and the FPS remained low until I closed it out. In the console it got stuck in the IP and port thing for about 15 seconds, and went right along. It isn't this, because when I tried starting a singleplayer map, the FPS still went down. Any fix please?

Suggestions & Requests / @print (words) idea

« on: August 11, 2009, 03:04:41 PM »

Like this client mod that you say @bt (words) and makes bricks saying your letters. Only you use a print brick, plant the temp brick, then say @print (words). That will be nice.
