Blockland needs....

[Otis Da HousKat]

Badspot could implement a cash shop that uses Blocko-Bux™ as a currency. You could use it to buy new hats for your in-game avatar and buy different styles of chairs that appear on the forums.

Yes. And different chairs represented different achievements on the forums.

my chair empire will slowly expand and instead of blockland it will be called chairland!

[Otis Da HousKat]

I'm way too tired and giddy right now because I think this chair business is fricking hilarious.

Roblox.

Yeah, but it's the physics lagging in Source. :D

[Malestrom]

Badspot would have a kings chair

New members would have a wooden stool.

Normal posters have like plastic chairs

Mods would have like a massage chair

People who have reached a certain number of posts (ex: 400) would get like a chair decoration like a coat to hang on it.

People who have both a forum and game account have a video game chair thingy

The chairs would likey be under the avatar or be in the sig. Probably in he profile.


Chair status: plastic chair. |-|

Think about how many objects end up being created in a typical blockland server. I think the brick cap is 128,000? In Source, try spawning 1,000 crates. Like, take the stacker STOOL in Gmod and spawn a crate, stack ten horizontally, ten up from each of those and then ten out from each of THOSE and see if your computer doesn't crash.

source is terrible but physics objects don't necessarily need to be affected by physics; frozen props in GMOD are an example of this. they do not lag at all and the only thing limiting how many you can place is your FPS and the source entity limit.

Also, Source and I imagine Crytek are not built for expansive spaces map wise.

source is total garbage at open areas and it's tiny, something like a half mile^3 maximum

crytek is a company. cryengine is the engine.
crysis has some huge levels, what are you talking about.

Chair for banned users:

Laughed on he floor again. I mean that made me crack up. Maybe we could get someone to like design little eight-bit chairs or something.

The original Blockland engine did this. Bricks were originally plain .dts models. The reason we can have over a hundred thousand bricks is because of the modifications Badspot made to the version of Torque he used. Not advocating Blockland move to Source or something silly, just saying.

Also, we really do need that flying chair idea implemented. I'd be willing to donate $500 towards the cause.

The original engine used StaticShapes, which are still not as heavy as the objects in Source. They are only capable of being collided against, transform updates, and sequence playing.

forget. A plastic chair with a coat to hang on doesn't get me very far in life :C

Back in my day all a man needed to get by was a chair to hang his coat on and a song in his heart.

My, how times have changed.
