Blockland Tower --- Like GMod Tower but not

[DrenDran]

Figured it was worth updating that I've more or less completed a gamemodes lobby.
There's falling tiles, a deathmatch, and speedcart racing, all of which I had to script from scratch.
ATM I'm working on making stuff to do in the lobby, then I'm going to add suites (and money).


Old OP:

I've been playing gmt for a little bit now and I was wondering if it'd be worth it to make a compairable gamemode in blockland.
For those of you who don't know what gmt is, you'd basically get your own suite, and the ability to buy things to put in it and to build your suite how you like it, and you can invite people to your suite and/or throw parties in it.
You earn money to buy stuff in your suite and for your character by playing various minigames like racing, deathmatches, or duels, or you gamble or get achievements for money as well.


I'm not great at explaining it, but if I could get enough players I feel like it'd be really fun.
Also, while I could script everything, some help building later on would be appreciated.

So like a giant hotel sort of thing?

It could be kind of cool if it was a 24/7 thing- then people could just go to their "room" with their friends and mess around

It'd be hosted dedicated obviously, for as long as there were people intrested in it.
The actual GMT has a set number of rooms and you check in and out when you join and leave the server, your stuff just appears in the rooms when you check in.

I might do it so your rooms are permanant, since it's not like blockland would have trouble supporting it.
You'd probably use the built in trust system to control who has access to your rooms.

I've gotten about 10% the way into this but I gave up. Way above my motivation.

You have a build for it?

it isn't that great.
My first concept was "Paradise Park" and it was a bunch of cities and you would take taxis and stuff to go to other parts of the city (I got half of one city done, but it didnt look great)
my second concept was exactly like gmod tower (which I only got the spawn part done)

i dont really think you'd want them

But would it have the actual fun parts of gmod tower? Gamemodes selection? The youtube screen? Does anybody really just stand about in the tower?

Why couldn't it!
The only problem would be getting enough players!
Falling tiles, deathmatches, racing, they're all already parts of blockland.

Youtube screens might be a problem though :|

maybe someone can get creative and make the bots flat so they can play out scenes around a flat background

Isnt someone already making this

I had an idea for a gamemode kind of like this. It would be a layout like on a cityRPG, with roads in crisscrosses and 32x32 lots in the middle. Each player would be assigned a lot to build on and it would announce a theme for that round. (Castles, Houses, Shops, Towers, Futuristic, Medieval, ect), and everyone would build something related to that theme for that round. After 15-20 minutes (depending on the theme) time would be up, and everyone would vote on who had the best build. The person who gets the most votes gains 10 points, the second most 5, and the least 3. It would then give everyone 5 minutes or so to save or explore the other builds. After that it would automatically save the server, then clear all bricks and restart.

I think it would be a lot better than people building apartments. They already have a defined base and just don't allow for as much creativity.

im a bit worried the brick count would go pretty high, especially the amount of minigames you can do and the amount of rooms there would be.

pretty good idea, though. the concept is good.

what?
make bots into tv screens?
seems far fetched

no and if they were, they're say so in here

I don't think that's the same at all though.
This is where you buy stuff to put into your apartments, your idea is just a building contest.

Yeah, if needed I'll make the rooms vanish and reappear as people check them out.
Deathmatch and falling tiles shouldn't take too many bricks, but getting racing in there might be harder.
Other gamemodes are possible too, I just haven't thought of them.

Sadly not being worked on right now due to BBR but hopefully will be picked up again. We got a lot of support for it so I think it would be a nice idea to make a server like this, and if you do decide to then I will be looking forward to it :)

Looks pretty cool.
Doesn't really look like a hotel though lol
