[Electrk.]

filipe should hurry up and finish half-life 3 already

filipe should make it so that when a typo is detected in chat the user who made the typo suffers a stroke in real life

[The Brighter Dark]

Oh boy...

I'm not quite sure if manual transmission can be possible due to how Torque works with vehicle acceleration, but to be fair, most of the features we have on vehicles nowadays were thought to be impossible back then, such as lights, customization, hands on the steering wheel, sirens, turn signals, interactive doors and so on, if there is a way to do it somehow I would love to.

cant forget about the brick vehicles too

filipe should make it so badspot updates the game

That one I would love to if it was possible somehow.

This wouldn't really be very hard to script at all. Sad that people made a meme of the topic.
All you would have to do is modify the vehicle's max speed, and run checks on the vehicle's current speed, changing things around as you 'shift' gears. You could make a believable automatic car, or give users the ability to shift gears themselves. Higher gears would result in worse acceleration, which might also be something you can change on a vehicle, so ramming it to fifth or sixth right away wouldn't work.

We can't have that, though, because it's not "blockland"y enough and it's "too realistic" as it doesn't strictly abide by how cars work previously, instead, it changes a major core feature of how cars work.
Don't believe the social stigma? See this topic.

The deal is not that this is easy to make. It's that this person, instead of posting in filipe's thread, made a whole new one just for the suggestion, and added a poll with it, as if filipe is one of the main devs of the game.

Filipe should cut the middleman and update the game himself.

...you cant actually do this well with the existing vehicle functionality. not without duplicating datablocks which is inefficient. sure its possible but its like, excessively complicated for no good reason - how would the user swap gears? numpad? wouldnt that force them to take their hand off their mouse and thus make it hard to drive? the problem is the server cant track key presses past a certain point. and what good is all this realism if the car cant even drive up a ramp without going flying, or hit a wall without getting stuck...

you're attributing the stigma to the wrong thing. sure, few would probably really appreciate more complexity on this level since blockland vehicles are forgeted in general and trying to create racing that isnt arcadey is a massive challenge, but thats not why people are being sarcastic here

you can also turn with the wasd keys js, so having two keys mapped for shifting up/down wouldnt make driving any harder. i dont think theres any problem with additional realism in blockland, its a sandbox game based on creativity and creating whatever youd like. lots of car/racing game enthusiasts on this forum and im sure some of them would love to make a semi-realistic racing server, not to mention itd provide some original gameplay with a new level of difficulty to experiment with. like the only cool racing servers we've had are speedkart, which got old fast, and deathrace.

but idk about the technical part of doing this so might not even be possible

[torin²]

filipe should make a mod that kills me
