Author Topic: New changes to Blockland?  (Read 1191 times)

I haven't been on Blockland in a while, as life caught up to me...but when I returned, I was disturbed by the new changes...  While the idea of removing terrain was brilliant, it really kind of screwed some things up.  I'm rather disappointed, as most of my builds are based entirely off of terrain builds. 

This particular build was to to be crown jewel of all of my builds.  I call it 'The Lunaris Complex" and I've spent about 2 years working on and off on it.   It was based on the map 'The Moon' and as you can see, is all over the place.  But the key to it was the terrain.  Looks kinda funny huh?

And before anybody tells me to use the new terrain brick feature, you must realize how big this build was.  The pics show only about half of what's there.  It's almost 40K bricks, and I was not ever a quarter done with it (plus the fact of how high off the slate ground alot of it is).  Some will probably say that it can be done...well,I welcome any who'd want to help me if I make this into a server.

Is terrain gone for good?  I would dearly love to see map terrains again as part of the new terrain controls option.  I liked building around terrain, always gave me a challenge. 











All you can do now is try building in the terrain.  All of my terrain based builds are also gone, there's nothing we can do to save them.  Slate has taken over.

dosnt look that big :|
why would it be so hard to build a terrain for this?


especially since it was just the moon...


edit:
plus your build is made into so many separate parts, how would that be hard to dup and move downward?

40k? thats it. Not a big loss...

let me guess: you can't run the shader update?

What the forget man?That's loving huge, but yeah the build doesn't look that big.

I've gone back in and thought about it.  As my brother pointed out, its not a lost cause.  He seems to think it has potential for some sort of floating city or space base or whatnot.

I guess I'm just not familiar with the terrain bricks concept yet...looks like a tedious job to me.

And since the shader update is apparently off by default, I have not yet activated it.

Like I said, only half of the build as is is shown

No, its really not that big. In my skyrim rpg i got over 50k in the first LITTLE town.

no one uses those handicapped terrain brick addons.

people use the default cube bricks though

Some ppl use the terrain bricks, but i don't really like the look. I don't really like Cube-scapeing either i use 4x4x1's.

40k? not possible unless all that is 1x1's.

40k isn't that much.  My last project was well over 100k and it wasn't even that huge in size.
