Author Topic: Updates?  (Read 2323 times)

This really seems dead on a development front. More news, what's going on behind the iron curtain would be cool. News announcements only when there is a new version is. . not very involved with the community.. & this should be a community.

Please post in the correct forum.  This seems like a suggestion, not a help request. (borderline drama actually)

The problem is as soon as I mention anything about v9 development people either:
1. Act like the sky is falling and that I'm ruining the game by fixing bugs or improving on bad design.
2. Immediately make a cheap knock-off of whatever new thing I've created.  Then when I finally release my thing people accuse me of stealing from the knockoff.
3. They think it's set in stone so then when I have to change a feature or cut it because of time, they get upset. 

I need the freedom to change things and try new ideas without hearing from the peanut gallery.  If I went to the community every time I made a change in Blockland we'd still be using the v2 building system. 

i dont care for details. but would be cool to see a vaguely updated development %'age lol

I can't help pointing the finger at someone in particular. But just to add to this point, The hype for the v9 events has been notably diminished because people have tried Space Guy's mediocre events, thinking thats all that can be done. They've also learned a totally counter-intuitive method of making events which they will have to unlearn when they want to upgrade to v9 events. I had to hit my head against the wall a couple of times to be able to use the existing events system.

thats kinda why i never dl'ed that mod lol.
knowing official wrenching will be here soon, i dont want to get to use to another

I dl'd it and used it, but it didn't ruin anything for me, I can't WAIT for v9 events. Everything BS said is true D: lol

Im just waiting patiently. :3

Wait until you have to unlearn everything you think you know about events, and have to relearn an entirely new system.

I hate Space Guy's Wrench Events mod, it's really complicated and not that simple.

The only real thing I use it for is to make hidden triggers to my doors since my JVS broke. Speaking of which, I need to re-download that for some godforget reason.

It is probably due to TDM. There is a fix for that. As far as relearning events, I am very good at figuring how to work mods. I learned how to do JVS TDM and Events all in one day. (each)

Who made bricks that do stuff when set up with the wrench first? Right. Stop saying it's a ripoff.

As I have said to several people, the original reason I made Wrench Events was to update my Trap Bricks system, making it actually work and not kill servers when you tried to use it at all.

If you do not like my events, you are free to not use them. Lots of people do use them right now, making some nice original 'challenges' with them.

WAIT FOR: Hmm, I wonder what that does
- Click It waits until it is clicked, maybe!
SHOOT: Does what it says
- Weapons IT SHOOTS A WEAPON'S BULLET
- N North. If this is confusing so is the default Wrench menu.
- [Arrow pointing up and right] It shoots it forwards and up
- 5 like uh 5 shots per second

I believe it was mentioned that he was working on an event system long before you made your "bricks that do things".



Badspot has been planning this interactive bricks system since Beta.

I'm not a psychic. I have never seen anything about that.

I believe the question was 'who made bricks that do stuff when set up with the wrench first?'.
