Blockland Central Hub
7 KB, 14 years ago, submitted by
This mod acts as a replacement of the Main Menu. Upon starting Blockland, you launch a single player server and it loads your specified Hub build. It comes with events on the Client target that perform actions that the Main Menu buttons would.
You can set different preferences for this at the bottom of the advanced tab on the options gui such as:
[*]Whether or not to start your hub server upon launching Blockland (Default is on)
[*]Which map to use for your hub server (Default is Skylands)
[*]Which save name to load (Default is the first save file in Saves/Hub)
To go to your hub from the main menu, there is a button the Start Game gui right under the "Start Game >>" button. Or you may type "goToHub();" in the console.
It adds a button to the escape menu in the "Disconnect/Quit Game" button group called "Go To Hub" that takes you out of the server and to your hub. (It works just like the disconnect and quit game buttons and will prompt you before taking you there)
Default Add-ons and primarily enabled only for your hub server to load faster, but you may choose more add-ons to load in the Hub AddOns Gui. You can access this gui on the Start Game gui by clicking the button entitled "Hub Add-Ons".
Credits:
[*]GeneralSkar for the idea
[*]Amade for starting off the project
[*]Tom for finding/fixing some key bugs
Current Problems:
[*]JVS sometimes will not load, but that is not a bug with this mod. JVS has something built in that protects it from being executed twice. Just starting multiple servers in one session will cause this also.
(The Hub in the screenshots does not come with this mod)
Note: For those who think this is a port or stealing, it isn't. Amade started off this project but gave up on it. I asked him and he gave me full permission to take over. This is not just what Amade made either, I made many modifications/upgrades and kinked out the bugs.
But this is a port from forums.
Still, 4/5 because you gave proper credit
Open up Blockland and a single player server starts. It loads your specified hub (build one and save it as anythng if you haven't). You'll have bricks with events on them that allow you to perform functions that the Main Menu buttons would do.
I have remove your HUB MOD, (reason: Internet server with event not work and It not let me add player 32, only one [me] and plant brick some missing {gitichies} I did post forum Blockland already about this. this Mod should goes to Fail Bin.
Launching blockland takes 2-5 minutes.
It takes longer because it has to load up a server. If you don't like this, you can just turn off auto-start in the advanced options tab of the options gui.
Yey uploaded to RTB! :D
@Everyone Flaming, READ THE DESCRIPTION, it's starts a server with singleplayer for crying out loud... that's what it does.
Really neat idea, but it just doesn't seem like something I'd use!
1:You don't start out with any tools at all upon spawning.
2:The place selector in the "Load Bricks" section is left empty, so it doesn't load the save you pick.
3:There truly isn't much point to it starting it as soon as you load up Blockland, or even the Hub system at all, as it acts like any other single player server.
It opens up your hub AUTOMATICALLY. you have to load, then use events to start a game.
ontopic: It is pretty cool, I like the events.
Here's your Mod Manager Solution...
Besides that, once again, how do I enable/disable this to make it default or not? (PM Please)
It works. you just need to use the things in your head called "Eyes" and your hands to look, and click things.
I'm used to going into a server when entering blockland.
I'll give a 5/5 because it's still a good addon.
1/5
But now...
Ya know what....?
My FINIAL judgement....
Screw this.
On topic: eh...1.5/5
It is supposed to do that, fucker. Can you read? Go back to 1st grade and learn to read.
Give the guy a break you 18k... and besides... hes a 9k.... big difference.... and if ur in America is a free country he can do whatever he wants!
Because IDs totally make a difference. You're an idiot, you know that?
ID's dont mean anything. Plus, America isn't a Free Country. You still have to pay for pretty much everything, and the economy is horrible.
Does that sound like a Free Country?
Some ID's were obtained illegaly. So ID isn't always truthful about who long you have had the game.
OnTopic: Great addon but can you tell us how to make a hub?
ID Means nothing.
its just your id.
"ALL IT DOSE IS START THE GAME IN SINGLE PLAYER"
not really, you can event bricks to do things like bring up the server list, so it is a 3d main menu"
"I HATE THIS, WHENEVER I START THE GAME IT TAKES ME TO HUD"
thats the point, if you hate it, why did you download it, plus, you can disable auto start and stuff.
your wrong. this is how they work:
for example, if my id was 10700, then im the 10700th person to join blockland.
now do you know what ids mean?
Actually, I think you're wrong. My ID is 6904, which mean I was the 6903rd person to purchase the game. Your ID is one digit higher than "when" you bought Blockland.
Ofcourse, I could be wrong. This is simply how I heard it and understood it.
But the idea of the add_on: 5/5
Nice one!
It's probably not their fault, and if you say that enough it'll be yours.
OF COURSE NOT.
Blam this peice of bull shit.
-9999999/10
You guys are fucking stupid, if you don't like it, delete it instead of ranting about it. I think it's a very nice idea, it just takes awhile to start things up.
EDIT: Sorry for the commotion. A tip for everyone: Gotta restart Blockland first.
Does it work for a Dedicated server when you open it up?
On-Topic: Thank you very much, I will be using this ASAP.
Bug report:events are gone
Bug report:in the add-ons GUI in the start game menu, the scrolling bar dosent work
Suggestion:Make HUBs shareable, so you can invite people to them and meet each other there, that'd be cool.
Conclusion:Cool mod, needs some work. 3/5
HORRIBLE!
WOTHLESS!!
OMFGOSH DON'T GET THIS IT MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU AND IT MIGHT CRASH YOU BL AND MAKE YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THE ADD-ONS FOLDER TO DELETE IT AND FIX EVERYTHING DON'T DOWNLOAD IT!!!
