Author Topic: New Default Tool Request: Duplicator  (Read 3012 times)

I was going to put this in the Suggestions and Requests, but I then realized this might never happen so I guess this is just a speculation topic to see what the general Blockland community thinks.

Edit: OK, this is not the place to talk about other add-ons for default. Please, stick to the duplicator.

post "yes" if you think the Duplicator should be a default tool.

Hi Captian Obvious. How's your day going?

Here is what I think.
No add-ons should be put into default anymore.
To make more add-ons defaults is stupid. Don't suggest them.
Also, Duplicator is really buggy.

If we were to have this, then people would start begging for the Fill Can to be default, and then the SAG, and then a bunch of other random gadgets that we won't use that often.

Especially considering that, due to v15's changes to water bricks, the Duplicator can't duplicate them correctly. The actual water object isn't being found by the old script or something.

Fillcan could also be suggested, and it has it's own problems and abuses.

No.
Unless they want to embarras themselves.

The duplicator needs a few fixes before it should be made default. Like scheduled ticks through all selected bricks and the like to stop the lag it causes, some fixes to how it's handling quota objects (I have no idea what purpose these things serve but apparently the duplicator generates a line in the console for every duplicated brick about how it can't find one) and probably some miscellaneous stuff could use tweaks too.

ION CANNON FOR DEFAULT!

Auto Wrench for default.

Copy takes too long.

Good points people. I agree that one of the main problems is people would start to go nuts requesting every add-on in the book to be defaulted. Blockland has a pretty good history of no exceptions for defaults so I guess this makes sense. Still, with some perfecting, the duplicator would be a nice permanent addition to Blockland if it weren't for some negative effects that might follow.

Thanks guys for not flaming me.

So...
I'm gonna ask.
What's the point of making the duplicator default huh?
You can already download it off the forums/RTB, making it default is just overkill.

I think it's just a small convenience.
