Make slanted bricks

[chubaka452]

Bricks like instead of being

S W E N cordinates

make it

NW SE

ect

if it was possible or it should be added to v22 :P.

there's something called slanted bricks, http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewFile.php?id=3495.

also, what the heck are you trying to say..?

[Wesley Williams]

He means diagonal bricks.
Wedge bricks

Now that I re-read it, I think he wants to plant bricks at a 45 degree angle.

[Becquerel]

He wants the bricks to be in a certain orientation where instead of 4 cardinal directions used in the brick grid, he wants them to be 45 Degrees, given that the difference between NESW orientation is 90 degrees between each angle

Although a 4 axis grid would be cool, it would be a coding nightmare and Badspot would have to make it. Also I feel like a lot of people would be thrown off by the new building angles.

He doesn't want a new system, he just wants a brick pack that adds rotate bricks

It's impractical because you wouldn't be able to build next to them.

False - the slanted brick pack could include adaptor bricks so that the slanted bricks could coincide with the normal bricks.

The Blockland world is triaxial, not quadraxial (which only exists in a fourth dimension).  Badspot would NOT have to make it - modders could develop it and Badspot could then add it in.  People wouldn't be thrown off because a 45 degree angle would not affect people too much - angles smaller than the eye can see would mess people up.

And I doubt it would be a coding nightmare, seeing how it's just simple trigonometry.  It would NOT be made because it would take away what Blockland is about - a brick building game.  Once angles that cannot be achieved in the real world are added, then the intrinsic purpose of Blockland is destroyed.  Same goes for slanted bricks.  This is why we have wedge bricks.  If the slanted bricks were formatted like the wedge bricks (with the studs still inline with the grid), then these slanted bricks would work out.

I have seen very few bricks that support building within their brick "box". Try creating a 1x1x5 brick out of two 1x1x5 wedge bricks.
But I would love to see someone make a mod for diagonal brick support.

That is where adaptor bricks come in.  Also, why the hell would you do that?  It's spammy.  Just use a 1x1x5 brick!

[Wesley Williams]

The point is that you cannot build the two wedges next to each other due to the bounding box. The same would go for diagonal bricks.

[Zeblote]

blah

modders can /not/ do this as the brick grid is regulated by the engine.

[Gen. Hothauser]

neither modders nor badspot can do this as the brick grid is regulated by the engine.
