[Open Discussion] Mapping in v21 with Modular Set Pieces

[Nitramtj]

wait a minute- why would we have set pieces for buildings?

that'll totally undermine any reason for new players to build almost anything- why MAKE something when you can just spawn it and save effort

They're to replace interiors, not actual builds. Have you been reading the topic?

i must be missing something. i understand that they're to replace interiors, but the issue is that people will probably use modular buildings for everything ever instead of just making their own buildings out of bricks

thus stagnating blockland's creativity... again

[Mr.jacksaunt]

Would buildings be static shapes?

What if you just want to build a city fast?
It would take hours to make a city that has every single building made out of small bricks, or maybe even days.

solution: dup packs

I think building bricks are more for lowering the brickcount while making an setting, if you can't go into that part of the city, then why waste bricks on it?

That too but what if you don't want to raise the brick count allot.

So, has [GSF] Ghost made any mention of a release date?

I can't seem to set up the UV Coords on the corner brick to match up with any bricks around it

the bricks should have that little edge in front like regular bricks, like how the corner doesn't touch the ground exactly. plus the slopes should have a ramp side texture, that grainy texture.

It's not like you have to build whole buildings, you can make just the faces of buildings and it'd still look 100% better than "building bricks". Just build cities like valve makes their maps, only use bricks where you need them visibly. Besides we don't know yet how much performance difference there would be between using bricks and using "building bricks", so we'll have to wait and see.

What happened to your old account?

Looks good, ramps should look like ramps though.

This.

[SWAT One]

I think that's the reason that these are being made - to not have that.

One of them anyway.

[Kingdaro]

i dunno, i just prefer my terrain bricks looking like actual bricks and not texture fails
