2012/07/24 - Environmental Controls Preview

[Treynolds416]

The title is still 7 instead of 07.

It got changed

[Ad Bot]

[Awdax]

Really cool! Another thing to look forward to!

Edit: I just watched the video... HOLY stuff! That is even cooler than I thought! WATER HIGHTS? Sweeeet.

Also, can you save environments like in Adjustable Plate?

Instead of fixed maps, the new version of Blockland will feature a set of environmental controls that can be adjusted by any admin on the server. It's a bit like a more robust version of adjustable plate.

So yes. There is no doubt.

Anyone notice the difference in texture on the bricks for v21? It almost looks... shiny. It is cool looking IMO.

[Legosuperman64]

Yessssss.

So we'll at least have options with where we build in.

[Munkey]

Is there any chance this will be fixed (accents being invisible in spawn bricks)?

It doesn't only happen in spawn bricks, it's a known engine glitch

baddy has full control of the engine so he can probably fix it easily

[Navaro]

I love this, and V21. This is turning out great, and I love the progress.

Badspot you have amazed us all, and we can not wait until it is released to the public.

Cheers to Badspot!

Eh, transparent bricks and objects disappearing behind transparent models / prints has been around since v9 and surely before.

[TheABELBOTO]

I wonder if lava kills/damages vechiles as well

it was in V8 so yeah.

but this update is reportedly an engine overhaul, so its possible.

It's been around since the very start.  But, with Brick's supposedly being coded differently, it's very possible that this may be fixed :)

Edit:  What he said ^

Here here!

It's not a different texture, and they ARE shiny.  Supposedly it's one of the shader effects we've been hearing so much about.

Man I hope so, that would be the icing on the cake.

I'm loving the environmental changer. That, coupled with shaders, is going to compliment builds so well.
