BL Beta Rewritten

[OfficerZach7551]

I've started a project to bring back the old days of Blockland, when everything was LEGO, in a faithful way.

Wish me luck.

and badspot before you start complaining ill find a way to start another master server for it to use, alright?

1) that's alpha, not beta
2) your 13 stop before you embarrass yourself
3) you can't create your own master server without buying an actual server or website to host the database of all servers on
4) nothing about alpha blockland needs to be rewritten. It was an alpha stage of a product, which means it's 100x less refined and stable than the current release. You're essentially rewriting a pile of well-made dirt just because 'it was Lego-ey'

Why not just make a Lego mod for blockland? You'll be saving so much time

[McJob]

Is this just an idea or are you actually going to take a stab at this? I don't think you have the talent to produce even a percentage of the underlying systems in Blockland.

so what do you plan to rewrite about it

Im not just slapping new textures onto it, im actually editing the code somewhat. so what? i prefer the old version of blockland, so what?
installing lego playertypes isnt essentially reviving v0002. Maps have been removed already, dont you remember? of course, blockland classic mod exists, but that uses a mix of the blockhead character design and the minfig model, which in my opinion looks like total monkey bollocks.

I'm trying to bring back a classic version of a game, and youre stuffting all over my idea. forget you.

what about modding v20

[OfficerZach7551]

so what do you plan to rewrite about it

well for one, im going to use an alternate master server so badspot wont complain like a whiny ass.

and, im going to add any missing animations or elements, such as the death animation which was nonexistent.

cool it with the anti semitic remarks

[OfficerZach7551]

thats still the current peripheral, dumbarse. only difference is that there is maps. antares andrews released v17 with a different master server.

[PhantOS]

hey forget you too. you can't just say 'hey guys I'm editing code wish me luck' and expect critical acclaim worldwide. nobody has any idea what the forget you're changing. you haven't described what you're making better or worse about the game. what are we supposed to do- egg you on while you do unspecific things that nobody really cares about and will never amount to anything?

he's also like a 20 something computer science expert who understands how networking works on that level. If you think it's as easy as changing 2 lines of code, you're in for an unpleasant surprise

[PhantOS]

There's a difference between being motivated to make something and being way too in over your head. You're clearly trying to tackle a project that is way too difficult for you to manage.

We don't want you to fail, we just know you won't be able to succeed and are telling you know before you dive straight in and break your skull

[OfficerZach7551]

well theres nothing wrong with trying

[PhantOS]

sure. you can also try to walk on water and have the same amount of success

phantos your energy in this thread is hella negative bro cmon. this kids just trying to pursue a project that he finds interesting don’t put lil homie down

@officerzach phantos is trying to say it’ll be tough, but even if you get nowhere the experience is good and you’ll learn a lot. don’t be afraid to ask for help on things you don’t understand in things like he programming thread in off topic or pm-ing users directly. keep grindin bro✊🏾

[PhantOS]

damn sorry I love taking my anger out on talented children
