Add-Ons for a Community made Update

Author Topic: Add-Ons for a Community made Update  (Read 11780 times)

Often times on older games that still has a community, the modders often works on community made updates for the game to keep it more up to date and improve it's experience, improving the graphics, fixing bugs that the developers didn't do, add new content, I've seen that happening quite a lot, and since we all know that Blockland won't receive another update by it's developers, I thought of a fun idea that we could do.

The very first Blockland Community Update, it could work like this, it's a pack of content that improves the game, add-ons that are very useful (duplicator, better brick tool, delete launcher, fill can and others), save files that contains big maps and fun places to play, new gamemodes and other types of content, everything packaged into one ZIP File so the players can extract into their game to receive the content that the older players in the community recommends to use, this can help the new players, and it could help them to host more servers with the save files and the content available.

So I thought that we could make a list of content that should be in this ZIP File, it could have it's folders for each type of content (Add-On, Saves, others) so please suggest any add-on that is a must have for any player and I'll add it in the list:
- Duplicator
- Fill Can
- New Brick Tool
- Water FX
- Keybinded Console
- Several most used Colorsets (Trueno's, Squideey', suggest more if you know)
- Drop Down Search
- Auto-Jet
- Macro Saver
- Tab-Shifting Brick Selector
- Auto-Wrench
- Quick Save
- Save Saver
- Events GUI Plus

And here are some ideas we could add it in:

New Gamemodes, by having more gamemodes available it can help giving the server list more variety and fun.
- A new Tutorial Gamemode, with more content and more things to learn
- Team Deathmatch with a map changing system similar to SpeedKart, it could be great for a Pick-up-and-play action for players to host
- Hide and Seek
- Challenge Map
- Push Broom Sumo

Trueno's colorset is bad
Use Squideey's (you'll need to edit it though, because one of the blue's opacity was accidentally set to 225 instead of 255) or use one of the Lego ones

Auto-Jet
Macro Saver
Tab-Shifting Brick Selector
Auto-Wrench
Quick Save
Save Saver
Events GUI Plus

the build tool is called ports New Brick Tool

also include drop down search

Feel free to suggest builds that we can add in the package too, it should be mostly default, and also brick packs that are most commonly used.


There's probably a lot more to be added, but this is what I think should be in everyone's add-ons folder

So this update will just be "Must-Have Addons"? Many people have already downloaded a lot of these addons by now. But go ahead.

some nice things related to modular terrain

Server_ModTerCollision for help with vehicles
Brick_ModTer_siba
also maybe a few more add-ons from this thread too

this would be more targeted towards newer players that have basically nothing

Tier+tactical and quake type weapons
(T+T: 2.1) - https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=98252.0
(Quake type weps) - https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=248113.0
They can serve as an default blockland weaponpack, because about 90% of all the servers out them use the stuff out of the weapon packs.
