that's what you get for being a cheap bastard

Some people get computers handed down to them from parents or cousins cause there poor.

How about using height maps to generate unbreakable bricks as terrain?

[Hank]

This is really cool. Can't wait to see this.

Are the shadows generated in real-time? Do they affect everything (players, vehicles, particles, etc)?

Are the shadows dependent on the "sun" object in the mission editor? Can it be moved in real-time? Can the hue of it be altered?

How well does it handle transparency?

More importantly, will vehicle physics also see an upgrade to retain some semblance of usability? A porting over to bullet physics, perhaps?

[Bushido]

Also, a big finger to GSF Ghost, which I appreciate immensely.

jeez you nitpicky losers

Sorry, you'll have to wait for after the next update, which is Blockland Main Adventure Mode.

I CAN'T buy one, even if I HAD the money too. You can't go around judging people based on how much money they have.
You need to keep terrain, it just takes way too long to make a map out of bricks.
Making custom "building" bricks would be very complicated, and very time consuming.

[Arcturus]

You guys can't figure out a way to upgrade the physics on vehicles?

[Stick Man]

So wait, do you hate GSF, or mourn his loss?

[Khain]

Damn, I just noticed.

A lot of maps will break when this comes out.

[.::Taboo::.]

terrain building isn't very hard at all.

[heedicalking]

seriosuly hoping for physics update. tank getting stuck on bricks, carpet flys into the air when hitting a brick, jeep goes through large cubes. lets face it, the jeep, tank, and all other vehicles were made for terrain maps. unless there IS a physics overhaul in the future, this is just a "gilded update".

How about using height maps to generate unbreakable bricks as terrain?

that's what i was thinking. unbreakable bricks which would easily be saved (as a 1024x grid or something), then repeated through script. they couldn't break so it would prevent excess memory usage (see: minecraft). it would just save that grid and repeat render it like it does to terrain now, so it would only have to save rendering for that grid.

[Mega-Bear]

What's up with all the GSF hate?
