Author Topic: How can I practice building in the demo?  (Read 2035 times)

Don't suffer the same fate many newbies have gone through. Not many people like answering a question as 'What do I do here'. You should familiarize yourself as other said so that you have a longer stay. Plus you can only get smarter and more familiar with Blockland from when you are familiar with the layout and important add-ons.

Off-topic but:


You're right. I'll just learn the way everyone else did.

Check out decent builds in the forum gallery to see the different building designs people use. Then try them out for yourself until you find a style that works for you.

Uhh, the bot events are awsome. Without them we wouldent have to many good Rps.
Yeah, but they're not a required Add-on when it comes to basic building. And, they're not important at all, really, when it comes to building. Keep eventing seperate from building for now.

Anyways, it'll be hard to practice on Demo, but consider;

- Using larger bricks instead of small. If a wall can be made out of 1x4's or larger, don't build ot entirely with 1x2 or 1x1's.
- Use good colours. Use realistic colours, if you're building say, a statue, don't paint it green and pink. Also, don't be afraid to experiment with different coloursets. When building things like Walls though, which stay in a greyscale try to only use 1 or 2 shades, 3 tops.
- Use rounds. Use them evenly and sparingly. Don't overuse them, but slipping them in is exceedingly handy and adds attractiveness to your build.
- Practice different styles. Sometimes you can find that building in a certain way can give a good impression that the build fits a certain era or genre.  

Bot Events are a little bit advanced to the occasional Blockland population. Even me. I suggest you stick with easier things as teaching it how to do a little animation and speak.


HE CANT FAMILIARIZE HIMSELF WITH ADDONS IF YOU CANT USE ADDONS IN DEMO. Do anyofyou know that?

This is 100% not true but he cant use RTB

Yes, one would expect that he couldn't if add-ons were disabled in the demo. But they aren't so that doesn't matter.

You should familiarize yourself with common building-related add-ons such as the Duplicator, Fill can, Swiss Army Gun, Variable Events, Zone Events, and Bot Events.
you left out multitools

I haven't seen a multitool gun/wand in ages and the SAG does the same thing
