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

[Lørd Tøny]

Yes, that would be a good solution.

You still have to visit each area before saving.

Oh and if you have friends working on far away areas you have to tell them to stop building, check all the areas again and then save to make sure everything saves.

You can't save bricks far away unless you go directly to it. So how is a server full of only bricks going to work then? You have to always check bricks far away.

^wants more builds to be stolen in their entirety

Why would the GUIs need to be redone?

If the only maps are going to be slates, how would the map making community work any more, it might get so low that there won't be a thread for it any more. And the saves for some stuff won't be as realistic as the maps are, the bedroom save is already too small as a save compared to the map. You would have to get tons of print bricks for a build like a map. Interiors and terrains has been with Blockland from the start. Is deleting it all just because of graphics, speed, and some codes that are hard to mess with worth it all? Think about it, please. For Blockland as we know it.

I don't mind terrains and interiors going out the window, many people want this update.

Many people seem to not be realizing that this update is going to happen NO MATTER what ANYONE says.

Get over it

Kompressor for being so awesome I made you this:


That's you with your awesome wig and Shadow Lazer 9000.

I'll post some more pictures of you in action latter.

Looks like a richard cannon with optical sight.

So what happens with JVS doors, windows, fences and transparent bricks?

Kompressor said that shadows will work as expected with those.

So it goes through doors?

[Awdax]

Oh wow, we never thought of that.
JVS won't cast shadows, rendering is always turned off for those.

Looks like we need a door that works like the treasure chest.
