Author Topic: Creating many bricks... (Read 2043 times)

cucumberdude · January 19, 2013, 05:03:21 AM

I am trying to work on a room generator (maze). The idea is that I have interchangeable pieces that are randomized and loaded together to form a maze.

Now, I know how to spawn individual bricks a la new fxDtsBrick, but it would be tedious to manually code each 'piece' this way. How should I approach this? Potential options:
- Use Blockland's save loading to somehow load each piece
- Use my own save format/loading to handle each piece

Obviously, using Blockland's built in system makes a lot of sense - I am just unsure how to do it... If anyone could either provide a code sample, or point me towards an add-on that does this sort of thing so I can look at the source, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Some guys were working on something like this a while ago, ask brian smith about it, i'm sure he can help you. I'll work on finding the topic.

Here is the topic: forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=211663.0

PS: We miss your TDM servers!

Great thanks.

Yeah, I'm maybe gonna start playing again soon... IDK. There's a lot of neat new stuff in Blockland since when I last played (many months ago).

I'm pretty sure the Duplicator will have something like this because of /savedup and /loaddup.

If you want to use blocklands save loading system, save all parts in 4 directions,
then set $loadoffset = "x y z"; to make it load at the right position,
then use serverDirectSaveFileLoad(filename, 3,"",0,1); to load it

Zeblote - I think I'll use that, thanks a lot. Seems to work pretty flawlessly.

I remember him too!
Mostly the part where he hosted a server where he gave out sa to the first 5 people that joined... lol

You also hosted a challenge server - with a wierd chemistry (?) level which I never understood. Can you pls explain how it works?

cucumberdude · January 20, 2013, 05:33:41 PM

hosted a few popular servers :)

the chemistry: IIRC, it involved mixing the right ingredients to create gunpowder, which was used to fire a cannon (with you in it...)

Zeblote · January 20, 2013, 05:59:38 PM

I could only use the gunpowder in front of the door, and that would explode and kill me...
