if i remember correctly it changed the sizes of bricks.

i wasn't here when it existed but i've seen videos of it

You could stretch bricks

Yeah

Let me guess.


It was failed?

don't think so
it existed in like really early bl or something? i could be completely wrong though because i joined in v13

Maybe, but then it should be remade, if possible.

i'm pretty sure it isn't possible anymore. not sure why, though

Because bricks aren't static shapes anymore.


I guess that the stud detail was made real, and it's so y-



I don't know what I am talking about, explain.

Static shapes are just objects you can create with torque that have numerous properties, but they are not very efficient in comparison to bricks now. So Badspot made coded bricks into torque so that they were more efficient than those static shape-based bricks.

What's that?

A shape which cannot hold a velocity. I believe the non-brick JVS door component is an example of one, but I'm not sure.

Pretty sure that's correct. Not sure what other kind of object it would be.

It could rotate, stretch, and move bricks as far as I can remember. Of course I didn't play RTB much, so I'm not too sure of the details.

In the early version of blockland this was a default feature that could stretch bricks I think

It was a tool in RTB for Blockland Alpha. It compensated for the lagginess of high brick builds in the alpha by allowing people to stretch, deform, move, and rotate bricks. It is not possible to recreate in Blockland for a few reasons, namely that bricks can no longer be rescaled, nor can they be rotated in a direction other than the four cardinal ones. Additionally, largely stretched bricks looked pretty ugly with the textures stretching.
