Author Topic: So about the removal of terrains...  (Read 2406 times)

I remember how the thread said how updates will be able to get pushed quicker or easier (game features specifically). However, these updates haven't really been "game features" IMO these updates are updates that the community members could have created as addons (added a gamemode, added terrain, added bots - all add-ons) all of these things would also most likely work in v20. With blockland being on steam and getting closer than ever with reaching its goal (getting it on steam) we should make a good first impression otherwise everyone will remember the game by its major flaw (brick limit, datablock limit) and nobody will buy the game. I am mostly talking about the big engine changes, my main concerns are the brick and datablock limits. Basically I would like this to be expanded, maybe 512k bricks or so and at least a much larger Datablock limit, a lot of other games (espicially on steam) that have mods have an infinite amount of how many you can have, if Blockland is the only one with such a small limit then there is a problem

I am sounding like I am being a richard and saying that all of Badspot's updates have been nothing or useless, they haven't, I like the new fixes and additions he has added dont get me wrong. I just feel the main things should come first and then the smaller additions

What? This has nothing to do with...

However, these updates haven't really been "game features" IMO these updates are updates that the community members could have created as addons (added a gamemode, added terrain, added bots - all add-ons)I never remembered gamemodes as an addon. all of these things would also most likely work in v20.

I am mostly talking about the big engine changes, my main concerns are the brick and datablock limits. Basically I would like this to be expanded, maybe 512k bricks how the hell is 256K bricks not enough for you or so and at least a much larger Datablock limit, a lot of other games (espicially on steam) that have mods have an infinite amount of how many you can have, if Blockland is the only one with such a small limit then there is a problem

I think that most of his things were IMPROVEMENTS to other things.
Doors > JVS
Bots   > CRC'd bot events
etc

also
I've never seen ANYONE have a build larger than 256K that took less than a month or so.

edit: holy crap i accidentally flipped the >'s

i have made 2 topics in the help board about not being able to spawn more than 20 physical vehicles and not having a lot of addons

in v20 you could have as many physical vehicles but now you can't
same with addons in v20 you could have as many addons you want but now you can't

I think that most of his things were IMPROVEMENTS to other things.
Doors < JVS
Bots   < CRC'd bot events
etc

also

doors had to be added or builds that are houses won't look good and many people downloaded JVS

bots got CRC'd because of all the script errors but the new bots are well better than the old ones. i can even make a single player TDM with the new bots

Doors < JVS
Bots   < CRC'd bot events

um i think you should go to school again

your intelligence < average intelligence

I agree with OP in some respects, these things are important. The cosmetic updates are actually much more important at this stage, though. Nobody is going to buy a game with no gamemodes, even if it has great vehicle physics and no bricklimit and no datablock limit (why wouldn't you want a datablock limit though?). People will see the bots, and they'll see the cool speedcart tracks, and be like "hey that game looks fun!", and after they buy it they'll gradually learn of these limitations. By that point however, they should be fixed.

These things are things that experienced blockland players want, not so much new users

Now that my computer can support shadows on max I'm enjoying the game better. Sure I do want the bedroom back but there's nothing I can do.

Shadows are pretty great though.

Um no
You accidently flipped the upper <

Um no
You accidently flipped the upper <
no it's like
i originally accidentally did Doors < JVS
                                    Bots   < CRC'd bot events

then port went along and was like
your intelligence < average intelligence
so then i figured it out and flipped the <'s to
Doors > JVS
Bots   > CRC'd bot events

sorry for the mistake

But JVS is way better than those stupid blb doors

i recommend you should back out and avoid this argument completely.
it's not fun when someone start's an argument.

Plus Badspot highlighted in a lime marker the issues with JVS
