Is there any means of doing this now? I want to make custom bricks, i think i know how to do the code and such, but i don't know how to do BLB files. Anyone know? Have we obtained the technology to do this :D?

Computers will never get that advanced. Gah my typewriters almost out of ink...

No, you'll need a Temple of NOD and a NOD Tech Center in order to obtain that.

just make the .blb file in notepad.

eg... a 1x1x3 brick is

Code: [Select]

1 1 3
BRICK

Making custom bricks on the other hand is significantly more difficult. anything other than a cubic form requires you to map each individual vertex for the polygon. For example, a 1x1 round brick has 505 lines of script.

I heard several rumors that v9 would have a bit more support for this kind of thing, but i have yet to hear about any of these improvements.

You no longer crash when you spawn on a server with a custom special that you don't have, but it just appears as a block.

You'd think someone could make a program to convert 3D meshes into BLB files.

you change the extension to .blb

There needs to be a program that changes .DTS into .BLB files. That would help soo much lol.

Does anyone know how the system works, when it comes to cordinates for something like a ramp brick?

the ramp brick is a DTS...

No. The ramp brick's collision model is a DTS. The actual brick you see is a BLB and different.
