Author Topic: Brick Piece for my "Temple of Bable" from biblical times. HELP!!!!  (Read 1056 times)

I really just plain out suck at scripting, c++ or whatever that stuff is. so since I can't do it and no one will tell me how, lol (partially my fault I just look at add-ons though not discussions and stuff so i'm not very informed on stuff). I really need someone to make me a "45x45x1" baseplate. I need it to be a BASEPLATE please and thank you.

Thank you so much. :)

.blb files are not complex. You could do this on your own, simply make a new .blb in an add-on: 45 45 1

I know it's not difficult... Just nobody will explain to me in depth how to do this. I heard that once you do it the first time it's really easy. But I haven't done it for my first time yet so I just need help. Do I need to download something first? Could I have a COMPLETE copy of what I would type in and where I would type it in?

whats wrong with the 42x42x1 baseplate?

absolutely nothings wrong with it. But i'm one of those A.K.A (neat freaks) organised people. I always try to be precise on all details. I need a 90x90x1 but since that isn't possible i needed (still do need) something that will add up to the area of a 90x90x1. 90x90 = 8100; 8100/4 = 2025; [221a]2025 = 45. That means for me to be as neat as possible, using four 45x45's I can attach them to make a 90x90.

By the way.. I don't know why it didn't work but the command [221a] is supposed to be the SQUARE ROOT symbol. At least I thought it was... maybe not. :|

You can open .blb files in notepad, no downloading involved:
45 45 1
BRICK

.cs files can be opened with notepad too:
(From server.cs)
datablock fxDTSBrickData (plate45x45Data)
{
   brickFile = "./45x45 Plate.blb";
   category = "Baseplates";
   subCategory = "45x";
   uiName = "45x45 Baseplate";
   iconName = "Add-Ons/Brick_Other_Bricks/plate45x45";
};
Now, all you need to do is figure out file structure.

What happened to the Brick Generator?

Thank you so much for showing me how to use brick scripting lol.. omg you're not going to believe me but... My notepad isn't saving as a ".blb" file. In fact it saves nothing at all :|. so I wonder if notepad is really even on my computer anymore because it's not working or something. I do still need some help though.

Where do I save it to (add-ons)? How do I save it as .blb (I've tried to just change it as "save as" ".blb" file but the only option is ".txt")? My notepad won't save anything i do... what do I do lol?

rename it to a .blb file.

90x90 = 8100; 8100/4 = 2025; [221a]2025 = 45.
Protip: 90/2=45.

Much like ".html" files, you have to actually name the file ".blb".
45x45plate.blb would be a file name.

Thank you sooooo much guys!!! I mean it!

Protip: 90/2=45.

Yeah lol... Bout that, I was trying to show the relationship towards the area of the baseplate but thanks anyway.
