What's wrong with static shapes?

What isn't wrong with them?

They don't render correctly, they lag servers up, they are incredibly hard to make, can't modify them, a cheap way to get out of building something.

What's wrong with static shapes?
everything. the engine can only support like 50 static shapes max before stuff hits the fan
the old v0002 bricks were static shapes which is why 100 of them would essentially forget with servers, so badspot updated them to a different object, i forgot what the class was called.

You should use static shapes sparingly

i forgot what the class was called.

You mean fxDTSBrick, if I am not mistaken.

Ever since the maps and terrain were cut out people stopped building or whatever.

My toystore map is going to change how maps work. I even have a script to disable building inside modter so when I make the toystore into a public map and enable public bricks they can't build inside the bricks like a real map.

You know, I like what Lord Tony is doing here.  I'm doing similar things myself, only I create technical sketches of what I want to build beforehand so that I have a blueprint for structures. I'm going to create colossal modter structures, several magnitudes larger than I have attempted before, so having technical sketches to track your progress is essential for precision, especially when every 1cm square on the page is designated as a 64x64 cube.  Creating the structure with layers using multiple sheets of paper can be very helpful, and making vertical diagrams to give the maximum height of each layer also helps.  It requires a lot of work before the actual building stage, but by then you're mostly copy-and-pasting from a reel of paper into the digital world, (though trouble-shooting becomes an issue now and again, but those things are easy to solve with modter) and I find myself able to create much larger structures with higher efficiency since using blueprints.

In order to make sketches, however, you must find out what components you want to construct ere the structure.  This requires deep research on the components you wish to add, and this also leads you to find components which you never thought existed before.  This helps you to understand what you want to build and how to go about building it, as well as figuring out what it will look like when you understand how each individual component works (Steel mill, concrete production facility, research facility, laboratory, main computer core, etc.)  So I can relate.



On a far more negative note, however...

Lord Tony is irrationally sensitive/accusatory over jokes, and to things that are actually compliments.  In fact, I will have you know that I use praytell quite a bit as a short and polite way of asking people what they mean on something, or getting them to explain something in greater detail.

I can't help the fact that I find myself using an expanded vocabulary, and quite frankly, I don't wish to help it, for there is nothing to help on my own side. Rather, it is his perceptions and opinions on what he perceives other people think on a matter, and what he believes to be the meaning behind the actions of others.  He is very talented in what he is putting effort in, but every critical post he makes just removes any respect that he had just gained, trying to claim that I'm some kind of anti-Harvest-thing sent from the government or something in order to "mock" him.  I frankly criticize if I have a problem with someone or something, and I confront personally, (i.e. on the same topic and without cryptic language)  I don't beat around the skirt like the passive-agressive fan-dango that a lot of forumers love to use.  Even then, I'm not quick to be critical if someone has understandable reasons for acting the way that they act, whereas this situation is abhorrently illogical and does not ellicit the responses that I recieved - he dare accuses me of forming insults that, in themselves, do not make sense.

His mistakes can never be dismissed.

Praytell, what do you mean by Special Armors?
imo most people using "praytell" in this day and age are using it ironically to suggest someone doesn't know what they are talking about

i mean it's cool you made it your own, but no one else knows your definition, so you can't just use it and then get mad when people take offense to something clearly pejorative--especially lord tony cuz he's kind of paranoid

plus it's not really a bad strategy to call people out for small stuff like this. it makes big stuff seem a lot worse. people are less likely to go after his clan with pitchforks and torches if tony's already calling out people going after him with spoons and matches.

what's the problem there

He claims he is being deep and insightful but judging from his previous posts it is the opposite.
