Gravity Cat's old weaponpack(Government Vs Rebels Pre-V21) and where is it now?

[tber123]

Anyone remember when Gravity Cat hosted various DMs like Government Vs Rebels before V21? Remember the weapon packs(Not his current ones, those are all raycasts) used? Large variety of well-modelled weaponry, a /ls and /tracer command(Laser sights and Tracer Rounds), firing actual projectiles, and bullet drop.

What happened to that?

i remember a very old one that didn't have the fancy commands, though the ones your talking about could be not released.

I think he got rid of it, everyone was all for the weapons then they were like "wait, this has.. oh its hands and...EWEW "HONK HONK HONK BANDWAGON HONK HONK HONK"

It was perfectly fine in my eyes. Never once did they cause any problems for me when I was on his server.

It's possible he could still have it, too. Could always ask him for a download link or somethin. Or for him to re-release it, but I doubt he'd want to work on it more.

Probably not.

LUL PRIVATE ADDONS
Private Add-ons. Yeah, we all know this one. That stuff that nobody likes. I don't think people realise that, you can't keep your stuff up forever. So when you never release your stuff, you're special snowflake content gets forgotten. Maybe, there's that special memory people keep of your server. But the second you start becoming irrelevant, your stuff is no longer special snowflake worthy. I'll be damned, if everybody released their private addons, we wouldn't need Badspot to update the game. There is so much stuff out there, like bricks and other bigger addons that would be revolutionary to Blockland but, no, to keep that special snowflake status, they MUSTN'T RELEASE ANYTHING. For example; Cohort has tons of custom bricks, or a decent amount of them. These bricks are highquality. But will they be released? As of now, no. They used them to glorify their builds, which, when released, never included those sweet little custom bricks in the package, meaning, the builds are now about 10% less interesting. The titanic build had tons of custom things too, and even if the bricks were said to release with the build, the build's not going to be finished. Not in years.

Theres also a post from Badspot about this, but I think he deleted it.

The idea behind the gamemode system was to provide a way for creative people to package their gameplay creations and share them with other people.  One of the central complaints by new users is that you just get an empty box and it's hard to know what to do - you can join a server and see some really cool game mode or build, but how do you run something like that?  Well with gamemodes, the people who know what they're doing could package up their cool server config and release it for other people to use.  

However, that's not what happens. There is this toxic concept of "idea stealing" that is deeply engrained in the community so that no one ever releases anything that they've made.  They run a server, then they stop and their creation is never seen again.  No one is allowed to play with their ball without them.  

I don't know if there isn't enough glory in releasing a game mode or if Blockland just appeals to the wrong end of the psychological spectrum or if there some other flaw in the system, but this is the problem.  It's not technological, it's sociological.  

I remade speedkart to show people the potential of the gamemode system and to make a fun game based on community creations, and all people do is stuff on me for "stealing" it.

Gravity Cat simply stopped working on these weapons because he got bored of them. They still do exist though and the only reason why they haven't been released yet is because they're not done yet.

However I did get permission from GC to finish that pack up on my own and then release it for him. This will take a while though.

Wow, I was just thinking about these weapons the ther day and was wondering if they ever got released. If they ever do, I'll probably build a huge map for them. That was one of my favorite things to play. Winter Gov Vs Rebels. So fun.
