blockland tower --- server open! be sure to try /auth

[Night Fox]

When you check out of a suite, the bricks in the suite are saved to a file in:
config/server/blt/suites/<your blid here>.blt
Each brick get's one line
The datablock TAB relative position to the suites baseplate TAB angleid TAB color
Very little information is saved as you don't get wrenches, so most of the properties cannot yet be changed.

so it's an addon or something? I'm guessing it's private. is there any plan for it to not be private?

Drendran open the server AFTER new years please

Yeah, it's an add-on.
Not sure what else it'd be?

That's pretty much the plan.
Doesn't mean tests won't be public before then.

1. Make it more private as in, don't let anyone else on but a select few unless beta tests in 2014
2. Why not use the one map linked in the other topic?
3. Do we even know if the gamemodes are stable/finished yet?
4. I think we should just work on the new years server for now, I don't want us to abandon the project.

I could add some evented furniture if you need more

ok. are you going to release it? unless it already has been released and I'm just oblivious

[DrenDran]

Well it's kinda specific to this gamemode.

Anyway, added the keg brick. Great for parties, a favorite on gmod tower.

[Night Fox]

this isn't the only use for it. I could use it in something I may or may not make. it's not needed, but it's convenient. unless you just want to keep it to yourself why not?

Ok I'm connecting... Dawn has saved me a suite while I load... This is going to be cool.

[DrenDran]

I mean, I'd have to figure out how to make it customizable.
But I could consider releasing it, if others would indeed find it useful.

He doesn't have to save you a suite lol
There's 8 suites atm, and only 5 players. (you can only 'have' a suite while you're connected, and not playing a gamemode)

I definitely would be able to use it and I'm certain other people could find uses for it
how is it used? like, is it an event?

Kinda, there's a general client.leaveSuite() event that's triggered whenever they join a gamemode or leave the server.
It also triggers the removal and archiving of the bricks in the suite.

When someone loads a suite (also part of another event client.getSuite()) all the bricks from the archive/save are loaded into a list $tempBLT::suiteBricks[%room] - $tempBLT::suiteBrick[%room,%i] and each time a player adds a brick to their suite, it is also added to said list.

When archiving/saving the bricks it simply goes though this list, omitting any bricks that are no longer present.

I kind of like this.  I think the build could be a little better (can't really judge though, I couldn't do better) but I like the idea behind it.

I plan on future edits to the detail and structure of the main parts of the builds, but for now, we're concentrating on the functionality of it.
