The Blockland Thread - Games

[QUOTE=Kalan Yamato;34110902]Wasn't this TBM mod thing scolded and blamed for stealing people's key codes?[/QUOTE] No, it had malicious code hidden in it that had backdoors for the creators of the mod to utilize on any server. It did other shit, too, but I forget what. I think it broke competitor mods or something. [QUOTE=Shotgunz;34109770] You whip up a couple of blocky models, hand them over to someone who actually has the alleged IQ points that you lose while playing this game, and boom. You have now dominated the Weapons section and made playing Deathmatches little to no fun. The reload animations are bland, the weapons are unbalanced, and the models are too large for the player. [/QUOTE] The models look perfectly fine, and the reloading animations are clever. Unfortunately, Bushido's weapons are the only set of Blockland weapons that don't look like complete shit and have some sort of organization system to them. Not saying they're the pinnacle of Blockland weaponry, surely better things could be accomplished, I have a lot of criticisms, but you're grossly overexaggerating because you have some sort of personal beef with the kid. Bushido is the only person to take such care in organizing his weapon sets (and they are organized very well, modularity is important), and the art direction of his models actually fits Blockland's art scheme. I remember Gravity Cat tried competing, but his weapons looked far too realistic, they just looked like low-poly models, they had no aesthetic value whatsoever. The models are not "too large for the player", he specifically designed them to be shouldered by the playermodels. You're just desperately grasping at reasons to hate his add-ons because you simply do not like him. You're exactly the type of asshat that I tried to avoid by leaving the community. Not praising Bushido, surely someone can do better, just saying that no one has.

[QUOTE=yuki;34113260]Rant <3[/QUOTE]I understand your point of view, but it's not really personal beef and I've explained why I dislike him. (Elitist bastard), However I should expand. When everyone uses the same weapon packs, there really isn't anything new to see on different servers in terms of weaponry. I dislike the fact that all the weapons in the pack use the Grayscale with Dull Green colours. It's not fun to look at. His method of bootstrapping default animations onto weapons that are literally larger than the player is bland to me. I'm sorry for appearing to be an 'asshat that you tried to avoid by leaving the community', it's just my opinion.

Would be nice if we could all get together at a specific time on a server and have some sort of collaborative build. Would make a fun change.

I might host a dedicated server for Facepunch. If enough people really want it, I'll run a Freebuild/Minigames-While-I'm-There server off my screen-dead laptop, hooked up to a monitor. So if you'd wanna see an FP server, shout out!

Okay. It's up as: Shotgunz's Offical Facepunch Server (Blockland automatically puts your alias at the front) It's up with the following Add-Ons: Duplicator, Fill Can, and Bushido's Massive Tier + Tactical Pack of Gray and Green. (I give up, I'll just go with the flow and use it) Also there's a half finished de_dust2 clone I was working on. Check it out! :D Also this should be added to the OP.

yay

Passed over the hosting to Kaphonaits instead, a banned FP member for freaking out about little kiddies having sex. He does like Blockland more than me however.

Badump with content. [snip]

Bumping to give the thread a last chance, but we got a big problem: [URL]http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=184263.0[/URL] I know the screens are epic, but look here: [QUOTE]In order to make all this possible, though, we need to kill two old, slow features in Blockland: interiors and terrains. [/QUOTE] Sad thing, we are going to miss all the slopes bedroom and all custom interiors and terrains maps.

[editline]11th February 2012[/editline] They're removing terrain and interiors for better graphics? Why?

[QUOTE=wombo;34656682]Wait what? [editline]11th February 2012[/editline] They're removing terrain and interiors for better graphics? Why?[/QUOTE] whatever the reason, the terrains and interiors do look a little bad, but im going to miss lighting up ACM city and smashing the windows in bedroom.

The terrain removal isn't [I]just[/I] for shaders.

When I got this in 2008, I played it just about every [I]day[/I]. I remember when it was at least decent and had cool people playing, now the average user age is 9, Badspot's being a bitch and removing terrain in favor of brick shadows (they do look nice, though) Everyone is pro-Bushido and hates weapons with viewmodel reload animations and hands, and there are no good servers.

Seriously, everyone knows that. EDIT:This is 2011-me speaking, not me.

Say hello to a necrobump! Recently I watched Nerd3's VR video about him drawing stuff in Google's TiltBrush and it kinda really reminded me of Blockland to some description - you are given basically a world where you can just create anything in(without functionality of course). So I opened up Blockland and I see that there are still some people playing it, surprisingly. But there was one insanely depressing part about the entire game - while I loaded it up and looked through my save files that date back to 2011, there was one major thing missing: [IMG]http://puu.sh/oweW4/292a45c036.png[/IMG] The game has been nearly dead for more than [B]two years[/B] now because the RTB, arguably the biggest add-on/service in the game, was shut down which meant you couldn't chat to people anymore...

[QUOTE=Skerion;50209562]It sure as hell would have been nice if this game had a Steam Workshop for both addons and builds.[/QUOTE] yeah it would work like the perfect substitution to now-dead RTB, but alas that ain't gonna happen sadly..

I've seen a couple blocklanders on here, namely Flubbman in the tf2 section and Masterlegodude on various things. Yeah, rtb getting shut down kinda took the life out of it for me. So did the removal of maps, but a lot of people wanted it anyway.

It's very well designed and loads of fun with a good gamemode and good players, but it's been handled so badly since maps were removed. Hell, the development section is mainly used for either small bug fixes every few months or other completely non-Blockland related games. So sad to see it go out like this, I can't see this game getting any new life breathed into it any time soon. I basically grew up with this so it's not just disappointing, I'm genuinely saddened.

Need help finding a blockland youtube video where someone made a replica of the main city from Sonic Adventures which is followed up by a moronic "gotta go fast heuehheuUEHUHE" voice bit with sonic running around wrecking the town. Can't seem to find this hidden gem anymore.

Glad you liked the vid :)

yeah even from that video I just want to have some people to play with build a city or just fuck about doing RP even(because RP in Blockland is pretty fun to make with RP addons). [editline]28th April 2016[/editline] It's basically all I did my entire playtime in the game - coming up with an idea of what to build, then just doing it. I built some simple stuff like a map for TF2 Medieval Mode, modified cities to basically become Zombie Tycoons where you could kill zombies, score points and buy items/upgrades for yourself, and even did some RP maps. [editline]28th April 2016[/editline] I once even tried making Tower Defense map, it kinda worked and kinda didn't :v: [editline]28th April 2016[/editline] I think it's safe to say that with RTB now being dead and community having basically no proper way of gathering together and just making a server with x y z addons, since there's no in-game chat for players, is what killed the game.

Really makes me sad I stopped playing before, and took it for granted. RTB was, like the thing you [B]needed[/B] for even the most basic multiplayer servers.

u new kids and ur rtb, i basically quit before rtb even hit. pfffffft. not really though, but all i did was bounce around and piss off people on barnabas' server.
