1/3 and 2/3 bricks

[Joekirk]

It doesn't. Its basically a 2x2 brick, but modeled standing up...

Its not an actual upright 2x2 plate, though.  Its just modeled to look that way, to blockland it takes up the same space as a 1x2 brick.

That's essentially what I said.

And we are NOT playing with Legos here. This is NOT a Lego game. Yes, it DOES resemble Legos, but it is NOT Lego. This is a game "Where you build stuff", not a game that "Exactly simulates Legos".

dosnt matter what brand we call them. we are building by the rules of lego bricks.

Exactly. That's sortof the entire novelty of the game.

[Uxie]

This would work. You guys are saying it won't. There are different combinations we can make so that it would. like 3 all the way across. It would be lined up. I like the idea.

[Bisjac]

we can mod the hell out of this game with a million addons and end up with just another modeling program.
and im sure it would be fun in its own way; but the entore point of blockland is to be playing with legos.

there are "rules" and limits to how we are meant to build. if your imaginations cant work around the rules given to you, then you should be ashamed of being of inferior mind. go play something easier.

tl:dr bisjac's post:
If you need these, you have managed to lose at the most fundamental of sandbox games. Shame on you.

This would not work because the brick would not fit on the studs (Would not make any sense)... Also I don't think this is possible, so no.

[Hazmat]

okay well think about it this way. you're building a fence but the spaces between each block are way to wide so if you make these bricks it would make a smaller space that's all i want them for and if you notice blockland doesn't exactly have "studs" it has a pattern on top of the bricks resembling a grid to help you build. Also in real life it would make sense why this would work lean a plate up against something. and people who say it won't work please read. there is a sideways 2x2 plate so it will work the collisions will be off.

Don't have a cow, man.

[deadpossom]

There are already 1/2 bricks.
I don't know what you would do with 1/3 bricks.

[Mr.Noßody]

Don't have a cow, man.

No, I just hate how people freak out if an idea 'breaks' the 'Lego Laws'.
"That wont woorrk! Legos don't have thaaat!"

Sure, the game is a novelty that mimics Legos, but its the innovative ways we change the game play/building style that makes this game unique. Id rather keep Blockland the way it is over having a strict resemblance to Legos which is apparently "In" like hand models and reload animations on guns are now "Out".

the way it is, IS the strict resemblance to legos.
this game is not meant to change the laws of physics. its meant to simulate legos.
get that? "simulate" real life lego building.

im not impressed by a huge house with shapes placed every which where. its not lego building; its another modeling program that there are a billion of already.

yes, the point and existence of blockland is to copy how legos are played with.
yes, it is.


why are you all so lazy? whats with all these fake non existant bricks you require, and these props?
stop plopping down a model chair that some starfish posted on rtb, and build the damn thing.
sure it wont look like a real chair, but thats the whole point. the skill in this game are to create things using the bricks given.

[Mr.Noßody]

Its the innovative ways we change the game play/building style that makes this game unique. Not how much we resemble Lego physics.

Whats being suggested here is not a prop, its a thin brick. Don't tell me you haven't come to the point in a build where you thought, "Oh damn, a thinner brick would look great here. It would give my build more detail." A prop is an object that comes pre-made, how could this suggestion qualify? But I do agree, props are for the building challenged community.

Non existent bricks your deal? Then why are you playing an open source game that allows for such modification? This is a computer game, not real life. Just, build stuff with real Legos and leave this game behind..

Its people like you that ruin progress.
You want a Lego game, you got a building game. Cry about it.

[Bisjac]

playing an open source game

blockland is not open source


i play for the challenge of detailing within the given limits. its a skill that the greater of the bl community respects.
if you cant make what you want with the bricks you have, then you are a bad builder; simple as that. creating another garrys mod out of an unrelated sandbox game wont suddenly make you creative again you know.

besides that you fail to understand the scripted grid of which blocks must be aligned on. a prop is the only way to do what you are asking.


it is not possible to place a smaller brick then exists into the grid. it would be a theoretical brick that shouldn't exist.

you are literally wanting to pop in cheat codes on a game to play god aren't you? i bet you cant play a gta game without spawning guns and a tank every 2 blocks.

just because we can do something, is not a good reason TO do something.
lazy people like you should skill up or give up.
