Blockland Central Hub

7 KB, 14 years ago, submitted by Lilboarder32

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.

Sable
not a bad idea
ThinkInvisible
Heh, nice.

But this is a port from forums.

Still, 4/5 because you gave proper credit
Mr47hitman
cant you already do that?
Mr47hitman
oh i thoght it was a pic sorry
JuliusCaesar
Wait, so what can you do with this?
Evo Chief
It automatjikly starts a server called "Hub", if you have ever played LBP, same concept. You can join servers through events, quit the game, start a server, access options Menu, and others. You just have to build it first.
Lilboarder32
Here's the typical use of this:
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.
Hyperbob
This is really cool! Can you post the build in the picture somewhere?
Aceman
i do not know what to build for my hub
Chrono
You shouldn't make the add-ons list based on the ADD_ON_LIST.cs file, but instead check the same way RTB does.
Blackstar
Really, I like the idea, and always wanted something like this, but it crashes me when I try to join a server.
Blocko
I do not fully understand this, I will try anyway, sounds cool. 5/5
Tazzy
I Dont Really Get this Because every time I Go On Blockland It Starts My Server?
Leopard
I fully understand this, its awesome!
Leopard
BTW find a way to fix the JVS error.
Furling
FAIL
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.
frogger3140
Fail 1/5

Launching blockland takes 2-5 minutes.
EndGame
Still love it. 5/5
Luke C
THIS REALLY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS HORRIBLE WHY DID YOU WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS HELL WHY DID I WASTE MY TIME EVEN LEAVING THIS COMMENT NOT COOL, AWESOME, OR EVEN ANYTHING!!!!!!!
Lilboarder32
For people complaining about how long it takes to load up:
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.
Assembly
This Dam thing Sucks I give it -10000/10
Albatross
@Flamers I really don't see how this is THAT bad.

Yey uploaded to RTB! :D
Trilogy
This is really interesting... I don't intend on trying it though, I must apologize.

@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!
zombie clown
Nice attempt, this could be pretty cool, but there are several issues that stood out to me. For one...
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.
Senior blah
Thx u! now you can play a quick game on a slow computer! :D 5/5
kingbob
*groan* why couldent you have released this on the first day of easter break not the last one?
pow man
I had to delete it from my files i could'nt open up blockland so... ya i dont like it
jake brinker
Every time I start, it will not load.
jake brinker
Every time I start it will not load my hub build.
The Question
@ pow man:
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.
Tehmeepzor
i saw this on a friend's server :S
Lilboarder32
Saw what? The build?
Megamax2001
All this did was hack mah blockland link so it makes a Duplicate Console, than loads it. the only problem is, the console only has "Loading Addons:" and stuff. the BL Window doesn't open anymore. 1/5
police force
whoever says this is hacked, your wrong man. Cause im using it and it works fine!
Tehmeepzor
The event that takes you to mod manager is bugged. It immediately loops console spam.
Lilboarder32
Yes, Mod Manager seems to be bugged for some people, but the cause is unknown. Many people are trying to figure this out.

Here's your Mod Manager Solution...

Besides that, once again, how do I enable/disable this to make it default or not? (PM Please)
KBGUY
This mod RULZE!!!
Leopard
All you guys who have no idea about this and rate it 0:
It works. you just need to use the things in your head called "Eyes" and your hands to look, and click things.
Bleacher
Nice...
Killer2
cool
Snipe838
I don't really like it. It's good but it's annoying at the same time.
I'm used to going into a server when entering blockland.
I'll give a 5/5 because it's still a good addon.
BlackMail
There's a little problem with the scrolling on the Hub Addons Gui, there is no scroll bar.
Lilboarder32
Sorry, I've been really inactive and unable to release a fix to the bugs. Although, to fix the scroll bar, just move the gui around a little bit.
Killer2
Now that I used it, I have a question. What is it's purpose? I mean, what is it supposed to do that will make the game more fun? All it does is make a single-player gamwe with a load. I don't care for it.

1/5
Chris_Ridiculous
I have tried this... And I had though about it before hand...
But now...
Ya know what....?
My FINIAL judgement....
Screw this.
Toasty Bread
Awesome! I don't know how I lived without this! (Click Start A Game, choose server, load save, etc. :P) But I did notice that if you go to the MOD Manager before it does a random lag after a while, it does a weird thing with the console. Please fix, out of the experience (scary) I now go to the menu and choose MOD Manager.
Boomerangdog
I hate how once you start up blockland it starts a game! I hate that! 2/5 Becuase of that.
hsrambo
Hey douche...this add on sucks when i start blockland it starts HUB!
hsrambo
it was so damn bad i deleted it
Kenny443
thats sucks 1/5
Shagaron
i dont get it
On topic: eh...1.5/5
Silent Night
This broke my game and I am no longer able to host dedicated servers. Thanks fag.

@boomerangdog
It is supposed to do that, fucker. Can you read? Go back to 1st grade and learn to read.
@Agentjake12

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!
MrInterceptor
@Posh
Because IDs totally make a difference. You're an idiot, you know that?
Melonking
Scrolling bar needs to be fixed for hub addons.
TehUnlimited
@Posh

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?
Fizzle
Its really good... but mod manager doesnt open up on it :P
Jknight7247
How do you make a hub any way.... 5/5
takato14
you guys are wrong, IDs do mean something. The lower the ID the longer you've had the game. Thats what IDs mean. But it doesnt give anyone a higher place than others. It also doesnt determine what kind of person you are either. Posh, you are completely wrong. Shut up.
Killer2
@takato14

Some ID's were obtained illegaly. So ID isn't always truthful about who long you have had the game.
Eevee
@takato14 you have NO IDEA how wrong your statement is...

OnTopic: Great addon but can you tell us how to make a hub?
ryancat
I CANT DELET
Obliviongate20
@takato14
ID Means nothing.
its just your id.
dragonnutds
looking at half these comments, peaple are rating before they learn to use it.

"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.
nbarb
WORST ADDON EVER!!!! dragonnnut's told me, I tested it, and it's true, when you start blockland it starts a single player game, and whenever you clost the game, it CRASHED BLOCKLAND, luckly I had a bro that told me how to make a new blockland!
nbarb
this addon is the WORST addon ever, I think i've made my point...
Gurcharn Rehill
@takato14
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?
Awsome_Dog
This Belongs In THe Bargin Bin.
WolfBlood
@Gurcharn Rehill
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.
frogger3140
RTB does NOT failbin reported add-ons
GamerBoy997
I'm not completely sure how I would set this all so I can select as servers and such. Could anyone give me a hint, as in is it events, scripting, or what? I have a nice hdea of what I could do, just not sure how I could do it currently.

But the idea of the add_on: 5/5
Nice one!
Arekan
Really good. Doesnt crash for me! I got everything to work well, now it looks epic.
justin12
Its not working for me!!! reporrt him or her
CroinJohnGold
@justin12

It's probably not their fault, and if you say that enough it'll be yours.
Aran555X
Best. Add-on. Ever.
Becktionary1337
If you get this to be able to use certain colorsets, then that'd be nice.
Eevee
this is an epic fail and is beyond pointless 1/5 cuz this is useless
Corrupted
This seems nice and all, but do we REALLY need a stupid addon to start a game when we don't want to?
OF COURSE NOT.
Blam this peice of bull shit.
-9999999/10
Mr.Garf
Everyone who hates it,
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.
YoshiDude
If you Downloaded this and you de-installed you have to shut off then turn on BL
Zantigo
I Like this but my COMPs just too slow when loading severs but i bet someone with some kind of crazy ultra fast PC would love it :D
DrPopperz
@ Zantigo. You should check update your drivers mines an NVIDIA driver. The game performance for my games sucked. They'd go around the FPS of 15 to 20, I checked on how to update drivers. Then I checked and they were updated! My games have the FPS of 60 to 50
Notlob
I think I had this, everytime I joined blockland it kept going straight to my hub, and I couldn't leave.
TristanLuigi
I like the idea, but how do you event it to create a new game or other stuff? I don't get it! What event is it?
EDIT: Sorry for the commotion. A tip for everyone: Gotta restart Blockland first.
Samarama54
This may as well be called, "Stupid Piece of Crap Addon, Only good for Complicating and lagging things up"
Aaowf
Hi Tristanluigi It's Me aaowf!
I have a HUGE question...

Does it work for a Dedicated server when you open it up?
Pacnet2010
loop-crashes my bl
Tojehusiza
I don't see the events in the client target part.
LinkIsAwsome
I would download if you gave me the Hub in the photos! grrr.../5
Awsome_Dog
Lags me Crashes me -1/5 Needs Serruous updates!
Isaac Fox
What client target events? I don't see any.
FunWaffle
Dont get this! It will crash your BL!!!!!
XxxSaitekxxX
Stop complaining., This does not crash me, so stop your whinging. It is only your stupid computer, so don't take it out on this Add-On.

On-Topic: Thank you very much, I will be using this ASAP.
jojo127098
Ya FunWaffle shut the hell up
Jknight7247
How do you turn it off?
blocko HD
Just take a screen shot of your build, the screen shot will appear in the main menu slide show.
Link1999
Genious!
monstergert
the things for the events wouldnt load. redownloading. if it doesnt work, maybe it needs to be patched.
monstergert
yeah the cache details didnt load for me. can you fix that?
Portalboy
three things:

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
flappy
wow i give it a 5/5 :D
APSOLUTLY SUCKS!!!
HORRIBLE!
WOTHLESS!!
GTF-11 Drio
If this is supposed to replace the main menu, then how do you get the "Join Game" "Player" and all the other options?
blueblur121
Takes too long to load. This is good but not if your an addon hoarder with the props addons.
RalphElliott
Amazing. Thank you. 5/5
