We all know Reactor Worker. The one who made the planets map, and yet another blocko planets map. We know that he wanted to do something which was impossible. Reactor Worker wanted to do something with the terrain block. I still don't know what but... since that I found a guy on YouTube and GarageGames that turned a level or terrain block into a global sphere level. Atmosphere effects, water, gravity. Anything you can dream of.
The terrain block is turned into a sphere. It's 30 miles in diameter. He made it in Torque Game Engine, and here is the question: Is this possible to do this in Blockland?
Known problems are that a player fall off. But yet again, Bill Vee has made that the player stays attached to the planet with gravity. If we ever want to make something like this in Blockland, the bricks needs to be rotated with the sphere.
IdeasSome of you may ask, what do we need with this? The answer is simple: This makes world wars in servers releastic. Now you know that you can conquer the server with your team.
There may also be questions: Isn't the map too big for Blockland? The answer, no. Because you need a lot of freedom in a server with something like that.
More ideas- Day and Night cycle
- Realistic clouds, water and sky
- Atmosphere color effect during Day and Night cycle
- Rivers
- Animating hurricanes, earthquakes (
only on the center of the planet)
Here is a video, looks awesome.
Another video, relaxed music.
Again another video, with water reflection and atmosphere effects.
Another question: Will this work on Blockland? Yes it will.
