Author Topic: Pay to Build  (Read 9812 times)

I don't have a link but Cashmod II is one example.

Looks nice regardless.
Did a search, got this: (Last Updated: Tue Mar 10, 2009 11:57 am)
It seems a lot more complicated than this one too. It has items and events and stuff. It also is not toggleable.
There was a 'fixed' version posted here during April of this year, but even so these are cash mods, e.g. more complicated than this one. This just makes building change your score, that's it. Those mods add a whole currency system to the game.

this is great and creates lots of possible game modes

  • Admins and super admins not in a minigame are never affected by the mod
That is terrible. Admins and SAs should not have any sort of 'god mode' unless they want to enable it specifically. It shouldnt be disabled all the time, only when they are working on something for the server instead of for themselves.

I hate to rant on people as individuals, but I feel as if you are creating a lot of add-ons recently, when some of them are only partially working, and some are badly thought out. Im not sure if your new to coding or if its just your style or whatever, but I feel these add-ons your releasing are low quality. Its only something ive noticed in the last month or so, so im probably just jumping to conclusions. Im willing to help you if you want it.

Well that's your opinion.
And it's wrong lol.
If you can't trust your admins with something like that, then you need new admins.
I hate to rant on people as individuals, but I feel as if you are creating a lot of add-ons recently,
The only add-on I've released in the last month was Secret Admin, Secret Mute, and Fake Admin
when some of them are only partially working, and some are badly thought out.
You mean that one add-on?
No one had reported any bugs in it so far?
Im not sure if your new to coding or if its just your style or whatever,
I've been here half a decade, kid.
but I feel these add-ons your releasing are low quality. Its only something ive noticed in the last month or so, so im probably just jumping to conclusions.
I'm going with the conclusion that you are trolling.

thanks for your wonderful feedback

thanks for your wonderful feedback
he's right though
I'm pretty sure boodals is trolling

Nope, just saying what i've noticed. I hate criticizing people, so I wont try to argue about it, but..

Secret Admin/mute, Fake Admin: All seem to lack purpose other than to troll people. The mute is useful, but theres nothing special with out. Overall its okay, nothing really wrong with it.
Fedora/Snow emitters: 0 legit use for the fedora. Again, only used for laughs or trolls. I havent seen the snow, so I wont judge it.
"Windmill" emitters: 100% troll addon. The prints I guess could be used in a national socialist DM or something, but still, the quality is shockingly bad. This is most likely one of those joke addons like that uber long gun that someone made with a huge name.
Event_Print: Sure, as far as I know its fine quality wise, but kind of unneeded with VCE. Still, I understand some people don't like it, and for good reason, so its fine.
Pay to Build: This is pretty decent. The fact that it simply cannot apply to admins is badly thought out, but i've already said about that. SetRandomPrintCount already exists, although the pack is hard to find so I don't really care.
Blockland Essentials: Having worked with BVSS a decent amount, I can say that it simply does not work well enough to be used. It feels untested, as most of whats wrong with it is blindly simple to recreate. As for the other parts of the mod: Lots of features which are great, but I haven't really used then so I cant judge the quality. This is a huge add-on, if I released something of this scale, I would be updating it regularly, and keeping it as high quality as possible. The options button on the main menu is badly thought out. Its very bold and out of place, and you haven't used it for anything but the server GUI host name separation.

All of this is my opinion. Some people like these add-ons, some people dont. When im scripting, I tend to have very high standards of quality, which is why i'm ranting at the moment. I've noticed in at least two of your addons you use talk() to message everyone. I can barely write how much that makes me cringe. Like I said, my coding standards are high.
Again, I don't want to start an arguement, just voicing my opinion.

I was origionally going to just respond with "you're stupid" but I don't want someone to come along and think the things you've said are true.

Nope, just saying what i've noticed. I hate criticizing people, so I wont try to argue about it, but..
Yeah, you really hate critizing people.
Except when you write multiple paragraphs critizing someone you have never talked to before lol
Secret Admin/mute, Fake Admin: All seem to lack purpose other than to troll people. The mute is useful, but theres nothing special with out. Overall its okay, nothing really wrong with it.
If you give someone 'fake admin', they'll stop begging for admin.
Secret mute will mute someone, without them begging you on RTB to unmute them.
Secret admin allows people to administrate a server without the other players putting on an act for the admins they know are watching them.
Fedora/Snow emitters: 0 legit use for the fedora. Again, only used for laughs or trolls. I havent seen the snow, so I wont judge it.
"Windmill" emitters: 100% troll addon. The prints I guess could be used in a national socialist DM or something, but still, the quality is shockingly bad. This is most likely one of those joke addons like that uber long gun that someone made with a huge name.
0 legit use lol
buddy this is a video game
we play it and make stuff for it because we want to
sorry you don't find something useful, but i don't see you stuffposting on the
ACNRHKLAH-BSLFGSGL thread
for example
Event_Print: Sure, as far as I know its fine quality wise, but kind of unneeded with VCE. Still, I understand some people don't like it, and for good reason, so its fine.
First of all, VCE is no longer a public add-on.
Second, this does have use that VCE can't offer. Even so, it makes a lot of things easier, as far as print bricks go.
Pay to Build: This is pretty decent. The fact that it simply cannot apply to admins is badly thought out, but i've already said about that.
It only doesn't apply to admins when they're not in a minigame.
Perhaps if you had actualy read the topic...
SetRandomPrintCount already exists, although the pack is hard to find so I don't really care.
I never made a setrandomprintcount event. Once again, reading is fun, try it.
Blockland Essentials: Having worked with BVSS a decent amount, I can say that it simply does not work well enough to be used. It feels untested, as most of whats wrong with it is blindly simple to recreate.
Yeah, BE does have its share of bugs, I'll admit.
As for the other parts of the mod: Lots of features which are great, but I haven't really used then so I cant judge the quality. This is a huge add-on, if I released something of this scale, I would be updating it regularly, and keeping it as high quality as possible.
Have you ever even made an add-on? I've literally never heard of or used a script by you.
On topic, I am updating it. So yeah, I'll give you that it has had a good number of bugs, but it's on RTB, and I've already updated it a few times since submitting it.
The options button on the main menu is badly thought out. Its very bold and out of place, and you haven't used it for anything but the server GUI host name separation.
I've never been great with GUIs.
But it's not really intrusive or anything, so whatevs.
All of this is my opinion. Some people like these add-ons, some people dont. When im scripting, I tend to have very high standards of quality, which is why i'm ranting at the moment.
You just said it's all opinion and some people like them, then you say they're stuff.
It's hard to take you seriously.
I've noticed in at least two of your addons you use talk() to message everyone. I can barely write how much that makes me cringe. Like I said, my coding standards are high.
So? I have no idea what you're stuffting your nipples about here. If you look at other games that have extensive modding they'll use something simular.
Again, I don't want to start an arguement, just voicing my opinion.
I'd be willing to bet my collectors edition of bad rats that you won't reply to this and that I've wasted my time replying to you.

Yeah, you really hate critizing people.

Just because people do stuff doesn't mean they like doing it, but nobody forced me. I just felt the need to voice my opinion. I stay away from drama to avoid these sort of things.

Secret mute will mute someone, without them begging you on RTB to unmute them.
Secret admin allows people to administrate a server without the other players putting on an act for the admins they know are watching them.
Eh, I guess it has its purpose then.

for example
As I said:
This is most likely one of those joke addons like that uber long gun that someone made with a huge name.
And I don't rant about a single add-on. I'm ranting here and now because ive noticed that a lot of your add-ons seem to be low quality.

First of all, VCE is no longer a public add-on.
Second, this does have use that VCE can't offer. Even so, it makes a lot of things easier, as far as print bricks go.
1st point is valid.
Im interested to know what it can do that VCE can't though. VCE can get a random number, and set the printcount to it, and it can check what the print count is. The onPrintEqual# seem spammy, having 10 inputs just for one feature is pretty annoying. Badspot needs to add parameters for inputs, that would be awesome.

It only doesn't apply to admins when they're not in a minigame.
Perhaps if you had actualy read the topic...
Ah, okay. My bad there.

I never made a setrandomprintcount event. Once again, reading is fun, try it.
In your post, you showed an example which is using setRandomPrintNum. You never state anywhere that it is not part of the pack. Obviously I haven't downloaded it to see, I just based my argument on my assumptions.

Have you ever even made an add-on? I've literally never heard of or used a script by you.
Ive made lots of add-ons, I just rarely post them. I've done a lot of work for Spade's Arcade recently, and I make event packss designed for use with VCE (but not required). Dont judge my quality on anything i've posted, i've learnt a lot recently and now all of my older add-ons are terrible in comparison.

You just said it's all opinion and some people like them, then you say they're stuff.
It's hard to take you seriously.
I haven't said that they're stuff. Your just reading what you want to read so you can argue with me.

So? I have no idea what you're stuffting your nipples about here. If you look at other games that have extensive modding they'll use something simular.
I don't like my chat spammed with bright pink CONSOLE every 5 minutes.

I'd be willing to bet my collectors edition of bad rats that you won't reply to this and that I've wasted my time replying to you.
Lol, sure, i'll take them.


Im gonna say now that I wont be ranting here anymore. So if I don't reply don't think i've changed my opinion. I just hate filling an add-ons page with rants and arguments. You're welcome.

fantastic in conjunction w/ score pick ups

If you're gonna rant on DrenDran making too many Add-ons, you should check out this guy.

Nice Add-On, DrenDran! Whatever someone says about you and your quality of your add-ons, don't listen to them. You decide what you do. And I beg you, don't stop making add-ons, because someone tells you that your add-ons are of bad quality. Just ignore them.

Can't wait to see what you're going to bring up next!

Greetings,
Cajetan.
