this would be awesome but i dont think badspot would ever do this
The point of a "community update" is that the community does it. Think of something like NVSE for Fallout New Vegas and the JIP LN plugin, and the unofficial patch mods for the various bethesda games.
I feel the focus on something like this should be bugfixes, consistency fixes, and quality of life additions. Any new content that is to be added should be checked to make sure it would fit in the game well. Perhaps add-ons made by badspot, rotondo, and the rest of the developers would be a nice addition. (terrain build rules, guitars)
A huge focus should be put in expanding the scripting language and removing limitations as well, through DLL mods.
Mods in the OP I feel would fit best:
- Duplicator
The New Duplicator, and have players spawn with this instead of the printer. Instead, you'd apply prints to bricks through the wrench menu.
- Fill Can
Shouldn't be a separate item, but still should be included as a function of the default paint can. Right click?
- Water FX
Shouldn't be a separate item, but instead be another option added in the paint can's FX column. Maybe a new column should be added for the shape-changing FX paints.
- Keybinded Console
Should be able to change nearly every keybind as well.
- Macro Saver
Would fit in well, and make the default macros more useful.
- Tab-Shifting Brick Selector
Very very needed QOL addition (technically a bugfix) as it allows you to see additional brick selector tabs. Brick selector resize would be another good addition.
- A new Tutorial Gamemode, with more content and more things to learn
A must. v21's tutorial is missing a lot of stuff from v20, rooms from the v20 tutorial could simply be recreated into the modern tutorial.
There is even some code left from v20's tutorial in v21. A button added to the main menu would be a nice plus.
Stuff should be added to give server hosts more power, something like the
expanded UI concept I did. Many features from Glass/RTB could be added, like the preferences manager and GUI downloading.
This is the longest post I've made in a while but I think something like this is exactly what would give Blockland some life and make it amazing. It'll be like RTB pre-retail.
if there were to be a community update, some sort of collaborative effort, I think it should be an update and not a glorified mod pack.
Exactly this.
