I think having serversided physics would be cool, even if only in single player. That way you could like fake kill a baseplate, and ride it down a hill.
:o

also, for cell shading, i just noticed that we sorta have it? look at the rounds/cones

How the heck does Roblox get its bricks to cast shadows? Maybe we could use a similar method for Blockland?
Roblox's bricks are all dynamic, that is why anything physics related in roblox causes lag. That is why roblox lags with over 20000 bricks.

That's not cell shading.

I lag with just a few thousand bricks on Blockland. God, I HATE my computer!

That's not cell shading.
not sure what it is, but looks almost the same as the diagrams people post are :D

Perhaps adding shadows to the bricks could work like the way interiors are shaded. There's a command that relights the bricks in the server so they aren't dynamic, but at least there.

According to Kompressor, that would take way too long to light builds with.

I lag at 1 thousand.

Imagine it relighting every time you plant a brick.


If you lag at under 10,000 bricks answer these questions:

  • Do you lag if you have zero bricks?
  • Do you lag if you are running a local game, not connected to the internet?
  • Do you lag when you move your mouse in windows, when Blockland isn't running?
  • How old is your computer?

The master server shows that you have an 8800 GT which is the card I was using on my development box until recently.  There is likely something wrong with your computer.

I never knew you could track computer parts? What videocard do I have?

I wonder what else he can "see"

I lag with no bricks. And sometimes I get no lag with a hundred thousand bricks. My computer is wierd.
