2012/02/05 - Shadows and Shaders vs. Interiors and Terrain [Fan Art Too]

[PowerDag]

Will there be different kinds of shaders?

If yes, could you showcase what kinds you have (unless you haven't fleshed them out yet)?

It was a normal blockland day until Kompresser came along...

[Fredulus]

i, for one, welcome our new shader overlords

Welcome my brother. We are outnumbered by these.. Heretics.. They do not see the light through the darkness, for we server the Emperor Kompressor!

[AgentPikmin]

All glory to kompressor! Bow down before the shaders!

[indyjones]

Wtf I just found out about this just now.   LOL


Looks good btw

[Lusk]

All glory to kompressor! Bow down before the shaders!

Let us clean this land of these.. Heretics! For the Emperor Kompressor!

[Måster Blåster]

Are fakekilled/exploded bricks affected by shadows?

[Awdax]

Yes. Fake-killed bricks, also while being affected by physics, have shadows.

Seriously, most of this stuff has already been asked and answered.

[Mr.Noßody]

I am quite happy with this upcoming change.
The fact that this will remove all maps means that players can't rely on maps alone for effect which will make much larger and more detailed builds appear more often.

However, large areas of terrain will require a large amount of brick usage if a custom brick pack isn't made for this purpose.

[Frostbyte]

Oddly after the update was announced I have been going crazy with terrain TDM ideas and RPGs and such.

What makes it even weirder is that my building gets better by doing this.

[Måster Blåster]

Yes. Fake-killed bricks, also while being affected by physics, have shadows.

Seriously, most of this stuff has already been asked and answered.

Riiiiiight.

[SWAT One]

Riiiiiight.

No he's right.

[phydeoux]

Riiiiiight.

134 pages of discussion and you think you are the first one to ask this?
Yes it has been answered multiple times, fake killed bricks flying and falling cast shadows.

[Jacky]

Damn, it pains me to see that a huge part of Blockland is going to be ripped out.
I must say, I do like the shadows and shaders, and have been wanting this for a while, but I never expected that it would require interiors and terrains to be excluded from the game.

I do understand all of those who "mourn" for the interior and terrain maps, but Blockland must take a step forward. I will miss terrains myself, mostly because it was hell of fun to drive vehicles... But you know, it's like life. You gotta move on.
