Crown's Rise of Blockland

Mr. Wallet's
Rise of Blockland

ABOUT
This is an economy-based game mode that was hosted in 2011 by Mr. Wallet. It centers around buying property and making money to continually increase the value of your property. The main resource types are as follows:

Money ($$$)
Food (FUD)
Material (MAT)
Engineering (ENG)
Design (DES)
Technology (TEC)
Gas (GAS)

RoB CLIENT
There is a required client add-on to play on the server, if you have Blockland Glass installed simply connect to the server and it will prompt you to automatically install and execute the client. Otherwise, you can download the (non-auto-updated) client here.

After looking through the leaked version of the gamemode I discovered there were some missing instruction files so I messaged Mr. Wallet and he gave them to me and wished for them to be shared with all.

LOL that thing was such a mess. Whatever version got leaked is definitely not the last version because no one ever hacked me and it never got uploaded anywhere.  I assume this is RoB 1, I gave someone a copy of that when it was about 80% through its lifecycle.

I never had a problem with sharing RoB, the problem was that the game was only fun with a lot of players, so by concentrating play into just one server, everyone had a better time. If 20 people were hosting games, no one game would be as good. But since I'm not hosting then it doesn't bother me that at least someone is doing it.

I did some digging and found this, it must be what you're referring to. Here you go. If there's a forum topic or something about this leak then please share it with everyone - this text is really just tutorial stuff so anyone using my mod without it is just going to make my mod seem bad, so everyone ought to have it. Feel free to share this message with the community. Enjoy and best wishes.

I saw "mr wall" and thought this was going to a be a Annoying Orange's wall tower defense game

cool

Mr Wallet was awesome.
Didn't he also put together a sort of home-made Coding tutorial too?

At some point I want to modify this so it doesn't require a client.

Definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Definitely a step in the wrong direction.

Why? Then people don't have to download a client.
If anything it's a step in the right direction because of convenience.

But you will have limitations and a non-custom GUI. I'd rather download a fast add-on instead of simply nothing.

a surprising number of blockland players dont know how to install addons, especially new players. even given instructions on how to do so, there's still a non-negligible number of people who still can't figure it out.

couple it with the fact a lot of people cant click links in bl and that basically turns off anyone who's not joining the server specifically because its RoB. its honestly best to have both systems available - let people play it in a reduced capacity initially and if they really like it, end up downlaoding the client addon after askin admins why they can't do this or that.

This is how I feel. Don't require a GUI so players can ease into the server and then they'll have more incentive to download the GUI if they like the server.

[Crøwn]

I disagree. I don't want people to join and complain that they're unable to do certain things because they need a client and then we'll have to direct them to the link and help them install it. If a gamemode can get away without having to require a client add-on that's awesome and it should be done. No need to have a pointless client add-on, but if you were to replace this gamemode's GUIs with server commands and chat print it would be close to unplayable and certainly not as much fun.
I tried to make the client as easily accessible as possible. I used Blockland Glass's system you just click on the server and it (after asking) automatically downloads the client and executes it. I'm all for just general chat commands like you see on my Jailbreak server I'd never force people to download stuff to play there but this gamemode is different.

In the next few days I'll be writing a support script that allows you to have the add-on installed and not need Glass which should also lower the barrier to entry.

Cool. Too bad I can't play this.
I apparently cant validate a Blockland Glass account with the ß in my name.

So, too bad.
