Around the time I first joined.

There were no events, but there was one mod by Space Guy, called "Wrench Events" that limited you to 4 basic events on just one brick. It used a similar relay system if I recall.

You couldn't change the properties of bricks. You couldn't fake-kill them, you couldn't make them non-collidable, no raycasting or no collision. There was one mod that gave you a spray can option to remove collision from one brick, though. And another one that let you go completely invisible with one brick.

There was the funky rainbow shirt script. Everyone hated it. It dragged on until around V12.

Fooly Cooly's commands. Whoa, what an adddon.

JVS was a weird system. There was the doors, which were spawned from hanging bricks. They were weird to configure. There was also JVS Portals which let you teleport between bricks. You had to set your wrench to "JVS mode".

Serious nostalgia. Share your stories of the single digit versions here.

I don't exactly remember which version I joined in. I believe it was V9 though I may be wrong. BL_ID: 11426. I remember going to my first server though. It was a sort of RP that was badly built but people were flying in jets and DMing. I specifically remember Lord Tony kicking ass and spamming rocket projectiles at me and other blockheads. Lol fun times.

I remember V8, I've had the game since V7 but wasn't aware of the forums until V9 (same time I got my key).
Missed out on all the good stuff :c

Not really.

The time of a shoddy add-on system, low quality control, loads where you had no clue how many files there were to download, a time where pro-eventing was making a brick fire an emitter with Space Guys mod (as Mack referenced) and where you couldn't move your hands except for hug motion (there was no need for onActivate as no default events, so hand animation didn't exist).

Nightmare-Duckie · August 17, 2011, 07:02:57 AM

I joined in v9 when events were a bit more lovey and I remember all the hype about Fooly's commands and all the good times and all the awesome and all the I want to go back :c

Aphtonites · August 17, 2011, 07:04:15 AM

The add-on system wasn't that bad, It was the same as what we have now just that we had to put the models and code into individual folders.
And i loved them anyway, the addons back then had a certain kick to it, they provided necessary/practical parts for any server you were making, for example, Kaje's shotgun for deathmatches.
But nowadays everyone just wants REALISTIC ANIMATION HIGH POLY COUNT RELOAD TIMES HANDS REALISM

Oh god why the forget can't people just pick the default weapons since they don't have things like that, they're tried and tested and works.
