Author Topic: Brick Limits V3 - Now on RTB  (Read 5031 times)

you should make it so that this is compatible with the scavenger (or whatever that game mode is called) game mode where you can hit bricks and collect them to build with them. that way, everyone has a set amount of bricks that they can build with before they have to look for bricks to scavenge.

I'm going to set the Starting Brick Limit to 150 Bricks to make it like the DEMO version
If enough good features are suggested and I decide to update this mod again with them I will add a check to the brick increase function that if it is set to 0 then the message "You have been given x bricks" won't appear. I really should have put this in originally but I'm not going to update the mod just for 1 small line of code.

I would consider doing this is the scavanger gamemode was more popular. I rarely ever see it hosted now and it's been probably near enough a year since I've played on one. It would seem like to much effort for a feature that would be used very rarely or even not at all.

Sorry about this but I had to make a small update again :/
Changes
  • Fixed problem when you use the reset brick command that it announces everyone reset the limit.
  • If the increase brick limit RTB pref is set to 0 the notification message won't appear
Again sorry about that. Hopefully this should be the last time.

I recall the trade off was unlimited bricks but no addons

p cool, sounds like a non-player-based brick limiter like mrcookie did a while back, when people up voted builds they liked to give the builder more bricks to work with.

I was going to do a demo building contest using this mod were everyone gets 150 bricks and the winner got a month of RTB hosting. Not much point now :/

PLEASE update this so that the amount of bricks DECRESES when you plant!

It does do that. Make sure you have it enabled in RTB prefs.

Edit: I see what you mean. The problem seems to be coming from the onPlant function which seems to be having problems. When I get a decent alternative I will update ASAP

It seems that ironically enough Blockland has a bit of a dodgey plant system. I've tried several alternative functions but each one seems to be failing. The only thing I can recommend at the minute is if you are going to use this mod then use it on the Custom gamemode until I work something out.

Sorry about the triple post guys but I released a new update because I have fixed the issue of this mod sometimes now working because of problems with plant functions. While I was in bed last night I figured out an obvious alternative method I could use which would have originally saved me time. But anyway it works properly now

Here is a list of changes for V3
  • Fixed major problem where this mod does not work on certain gamemodes, in minigames and sometimes just not at all in general.
  • Due to the changes in the code there is a slightly new display bar. Instead of it showing you your brick limit and decreasing when you plant a brick, it now shows you how many bricks you have planted out of how many bricks you are allowed
    Example: Brick Limit: 58/100
I'm glad I got this sorted out, it was really bugging me. Thanks to Yin Yang for making me aware of this issue.

I strongly recommend that you update this mod if you have it.
