BloX

[rcdraco]

I'm amazed, supposadely this mod is so big, nobody has anything they want changed or added? I don't want to add things if people think that it's wrong. I have the Artillery, and hovercraft done, I'm working on Texturing the Artillery, then adding it to the game[It's more or less a better cannon with slightly higher accuracy, and around half the fire speed.]

This mod is looking pretty sweet

[Sheekel]

Besides, what you have there is the biggest failure of a mod ever. Its unbalanced, ugly, and completely unfinished. Its barely started.

RC, you took this completely out of context from a private message that was discussing my mod, Lego Spring. In this quotation I was talking about MY mod that I havent released, not your BloX mod. I actually think blox is awesome. Please be more careful in posting content from private messages. I would never say something like that about another modders' work, only my own.

Have you thought about a turret factory and a chassis factory? I found the current method of building units fairly clunky.

[rcdraco]

I won't add it, for obvious reasons, it removes another tactic from the game, this isn't BA, XTA, EE, Nanoblobs, or old BloX. This is a tactical RTS, if you can't handle that, don't play.

[ralphie]

I don't quite grasp how you feel fumbling with an unintuitive build structure is a tactic, bit each to their own.

[rcdraco]

You haven't played BloX before huh?

I'll give you a link to the tactic, it's called mobility tactics, AKA, the secret front, your base is always moving, making it impossible to find you, and pretty easy to stop a porcer.

This is the first major update, I changed sounds,[cannon sound sucks] added the hovercraft, and artillery, and did some balance tweeking, rockets do more damage, and cannons shoot slower, the current version is now BloX v7, which can be found here:

Just a little bump due to the burst of new topis. Getting lots of progress done on the mod, added SpiderTank a heavy 1 slot tank that can climb walls. I've fixed some slope issues, and working on implementing the 5 slot behemoth hovertank.

When will this file be uploaded?

[rcdraco]

This next update? Sometime this week, but I want to fix a lot of issues, I might even go and add resources while I'm at it.

[rcdraco]

Bad news, there is some sort of bug in the mod, radar does nothing when it's loaded on a chassis, but off of one, it works fine.

[Pressure Line]

came across a nasty bug on neddie's Clover Isle map. the water is corrosive, and the basic tank (1 slot) hulls for some reason count as being underwater, so yeah, they just explode.

also, the single slot tank hull and doule slot tank hull have the same HP (700) is this intentional?

[rcdraco]

That bug might be height related, the hit sphere on the light tank is pretty low. And that next thing was a mistake, I forgot to save the updated FBI unit file.

I still haven't added much besides SpiderTank, and a decent amount of balance work.[Eliminating Spamming.]

Also thinking of adding a flying chassis.

Working on a triple barrel plasma cannon right now.

Give me a simple sentence why anyone should want to play BloX. Or else, the thread should just be locked.

[rcdraco]

Cool off, don't carry this to my thread. Take a break, go outside, walk it off. Stop the friggin community refighting, I made a true statement there, no reason to derail it. In this thread, people post criticism and comments, not piss and moan about everything they hate. If it's not about my mod, just remove it now.

You want a reason?

BloX is a mod where anyone can play how they want, using any tactics neccesary. Unlike other mods where the only tactics are porcing and spamming BloX is about thinking "What design is the most effective? And how can I use this on the battlefield to my advantage?"

[Neddie]

The issue is as much one with the design of my map as the game, rc. I wouldn't sweat it, though the note should help me out...

Tombom, while it is as valid as the corresponding posts in other threads of this sort, two wrongs do not make a right. That said, I think rc responded well enough.

2 pictures that are kinda important:




Click to make them bigger, the first is the new start screen second is the SpiderTank with the new Gatling gun turret.

[Pressure Line]

i noticed something else earlier... what was it?

oh, in blox v7, artillery turrets are more accurate than cannon turrets

[rcdraco]

That bug has been fixed, I thought higher accuracy makes it more accurate, but it makes it less accurate. I am still shooting for the artillery to be as or more accurate then the cannon though.
