The ability to vertically flip bricks.

Pages: (1/2) > >>

ShadowZero:

It would make building more advanced, I was thinking this would be more of a new feature for the game instead of an addon, as in I am sure it would require engine changes.

It would probably become a new version too.

Wheatley:

I support this suggestion. It would cut down on datablocks as well as making building more simple.

This would either use seperate blbs but allow it to be compressed into a single datablock, or use an algorithm to invert the brick's angles, dimensions, etc

I would suggest using two BLB files and allowing an option for something like:

datablock fxDtsBrickdata(Brickname)
{
   brickFile = "./32degRamp.blb";
   category = "Ramps";
   subCategory = "32 Degree";
   uiName = "7x2x6";
   brickFile_Invert = "32degRamp_Inverted.blb";
};

Then, when the invert button is pressed, the ghost brick toggles to the inverted blb.
For saving/loading, an argument may be added to signify the brick is flipped.

Not sure what kind of modding capabilities you're thinking of.
