Author Topic: 2012/07/24 - Environmental Controls Preview  (Read 284425 times)

Am I right to imagine scripts or events taking control of settings?

(i.e.
1. A red vignette appearing the closer you are to death
2. The lighting changing dramatically as you travel to different areas of a single-player adventure build
3. Shifting the sun to a different angle, setting it bright white, and returning it to the setting it was on a moment ago... perhaps accompanied with the sound of lightning?)



Also here's the comment I had ready before remembering Badspot blocked my Youtube comments ages ago in case he doesn't notice my plea (baddy pls)

Quote from: xC3110x moments after seeing the preview video
I can't believe it. I might be sick. ThshiHSISHHCIA
oh god, bricks are affected by fog. I spy a vignette.
I will be dumping my fraps folder the moment this is released.
I haven't heard from the update for so long, I nearly gave up hope.
I- I love you


Does that just mean that you can't comment?
Yeah.
will shadows cast onto skylands? i sure hope NOT
I presume Skylands won't exist.

Questions and Answers
so that people just stop asking the same questions over again

Will the lighting have modding support?
most likely
What if other admin want to mess with the environment when I don't want them to?
modding support, I can make an addon to fix this is a few seconds
Can you make the water move/adjust the texture/adjust height/adjust transparency?
yes
Can you adjust the texture of the ground?
yes
Whats gamemode/Server settings button?
unknown, possibly things like server tags and rtb-like options
Will you be able to adjust transparency of ground?
in the video there is no alpha slider for ground, that could mean either yes and its not implemented yet, or most likely no
Invisible ground?
although there may be no alpha slider it could be possible to do with an invisible texture
Moving ground?
yes
Will I need a better graphics card?
no, if you can run blockland now, you will be able to run it perfectly fine when the update comes out
Will lighting/skybox and water be open to change by modifications?
most likely
Will there be events for this?
should be pretty easy to add with add-ons, so most likely yes
Will player/brick lights effect shadows?
no, only the sun's light
When it come out?
when badspot uploads the next version
Why is roblox a tag on the video?
cheap but efficient marketing tactics, converting roblox users to blockland users
Saving/Loading?
modding support/fetaure, so most likely


dual suns would be awesome. though i doubt bad and komp would make it this update.

Yeah.I presume Skylands won't exist.
thats handicapped. if theres no way to make a skylands-type map, then people will have to use 100 brick supports to raise crap into the air so you can't see the ground (cant use interiors any more!)

Well, you said Skylands, not a skylands-type map.

cool your jets

Thats why i asked if it would be possible to turn ground texture off.

Well stuff, player and brick lights won't affect shadows?

hey so uh

what's that gamemode button do, like, what gamemodes?

if there was an adventure mode....


Beautiful, one more reason to look forward to V21
