New Blockland Hub

[Bester Bageler]

I find since v.21 has came out and the old hub sent you to skylands, and now since its gone. I think we should have a new less glitchy hub add-on.

• In game mode form - It would be a game mode were you are in the hub. One of the hub portals would clear bricks allowing you to make your own hub.
• Making your hub - When you enter hub building you can build a hub and save it as Hub-(hub name).
• Selecting your hub - There will be a new menu button that will show a list of saved hubs you made. The load button will be select the hub used next time you enter your hub.
• Starting up your hub - It would work just like if you joined a server from the Blockland website. When you start blockland it auto makes you go through going to its game mode and auto loads the hub.
• Default hub - I'm not to sure about this idea but I think it would be neat if there was a default hub. On the subject of selecting your hub you could just replace the blb file but the idea listed is more user friendly.
• Hub Portals - Like the old hub add-on there will be portals leading to where you need to go. There will be a new tab in specials labled "hub". The bricks used for hub will just be teledoors with new purposes. The portals shall be: Server list, Options, RTB, Game Mode, Quit Game, Make hub, Steam Greenlight.
• Loading game modes and exiting servers - When you select a game mode to change your server to it would work as if you clicked the game mode button on the admin menu. When you leave a server it would force send you back into the hub game mode.
• Why should we have a new one and why as a game mode? - The idea is a good concept it just needs improving. I find it should be a game mode since they take less time to load. Unlike loading a map then a build, also if it was a game mode it would take out the loading time for selecting add-ons you want to use since its all default (except for the portal bricks) .

That's about it, thoughts on the subject people?

I really liked the hub addon, but as axolotl said..

Blockland Main Hub is a horrible mod that deserved to be failbinned.

I am very sorry, it's just that it adds 2-3 minutes to launch blockland, AND it is very buggy.

How can you get a picture of something that doesn't exist?

The mod was not meant to be. I don't think Badspot likes the concept.

I infact put a detailed list of things to do with it.

Would the Hub be basically Custom Gamemode with an addition Add-On that adds the GUI events? That would be easy to make, the only trouble would be making you enter Slate on startup. If this is what you mean, I'd also like the option to make the Hub automatically remove the plate floor as a RTB Pref or something in case we want something like floating islands.

Sort of. I thought starting could work like http://www.blockland.us/browse.php

I shall describe what I mean with a really low qaullity hub I made in the past 20 minutes.


this is the hub, You have portals that lead to the following
Server list, RTB overview, Quit Game, Game mode changing, Making a hub, Steam Green light, Options.

You enter the game mode portal to change the game your playing.

You enter the options portal to make blockland fit you more.

You enter the make hub portal which clears bricks so you can make your own hub. There are seven new bricks in your special tab that lists these portal bricks.

Get the basic idea?
Read the other post that describes it in more detail. Please note the pictures of it "working" was me just having fun with the camera.

I agree with OP.

Chill the hell out

My point wasn't that it was already made, it was that even if this was remade, I don't think that the time it takes to launch blockland with the hub would be fixed.
I'm not disagreeing or anything, In fact I agree with you.

This is a suggestion for an add-on, not a request for a link to an add-on. It doesn't exist yet.

I like the idea of a small, well made island floating in the air with some broken wood bridges going out to the different functions of the main menu.

maybe the steam button would take you to a steam styled build, idk

but yeah, you get the idea. maybe if you esc out of it, it'll transport you back to your starting spot

I really enjoyed this add-on but it took too long to load it wasn't worth it.
