Last time I was all like <a href='http://packy.dardan.com/walky/albums/album11/aew.jpg' target='_blank'>Hay guys whats going on,</a> but they were all like "SERVER IS FULL", so I know your pain.
Someone needs to start constructing Black Mesa. Or City 17. Whatever.
Actually, what would be impressive is if someone layed down a series of streets, and then individual people all built their own buildings. Then we would have a nice little city. Then, once its saved, you can have everyone try and control the most territory by spray painting something on the roof. Lego gang wars.
The problem with that is the proximity: this game has a lot of problems with many blocks in one area (not really surprising). Because of some of the user's affinity for making all-glass buildings and building with 1x1 pieces, things get <b>very</b> laggy rather quickly.

So does anyone know why the numbers 6-10 show up as "omgwt f" no matter what's there for me? I noticed it was there on Condizzle's screens as well. It's incredibly annoying because you can't tell what you've got selected, nor what you have picked up, nor if you have any slots left. Any tips/fixes would be appreciated.
I don't know... the servers seem to start choking after only a few buildings have been built. Is it really possible to make something as complex as a Natural Selection or Half-Life map? I would think the server would die before we'd finish the thing.
Condizzle, why does the sign say "Co<b>n</b>munism"? Is it a pun on your name, or a simple misspelling?
Well, an NS map would certainly be possible, and I doubt it would lag much, only the blocks seem to make it lag. I don't have a decent map, and I'm not going to make a whole NS map just for blockland, but if anyone donates a .map, I'll convert it and stuff.

Yes, that's right, that pathway was made entirely with 6x12 F blocks! Having the horizontal paths may be okay, but the stairs? My framerates went down to at least 1 frame per second, I'm sure.
Wow this game rocks,except when it lags or when someone destroys that thing you just spent 30 minutes on cos they are a d**khead. I've now become more addicted to this than WOW. I think that says something.

I've taken down my server. I'm fed up with noobs lagging it up to hell with huge towers of 2 x 2 blocks and ****. One kid made one all the way down to the ocean floor. It must have been like 100 blocks. -.-'
Wow... this game requires more strategy then NS it seems...

It would be less annoying if I had either a clearBlocks() for my server, or if my magic wand could take out complete structures with one tap... (which is exactly what i'm planning on modding it to do soon enough...)

Nah. I'd love to play with you Medhead, but I just re-downloaded Soldat yesterday after stumbling across it surfing the web, so I'm still on that a bit. Then today I found out that for some reason CSS was already installed for me. I didnt have to wait three hours for it to download.
Between that and WoW.. I'm pretty much full. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I'd love to play with you, though.

Make sure deathmatch is ON.
Never mind.
edit: stupid filter

My server will probably be able to handle more people later today. I'm going to put it on another box, and see how it runs.
Yup...
