Salvage

5 KB, 13 years ago, submitted by DrenDran

A rather straight forward gamemode, you use the "salvage" tool to hit bricks until their health is depleted, then they are added to your inventory. From your inventory you can place these bricks like normal. Bricks retain their datablock (shape/size), color, and any items they might spawn. These items can be picked up and used to defend your fort. There is also a "repair" item which can repair bricks. It also includes a "basher" item which can do three times the damage of the normal "Salvage" tool. Type "/drop" to drop your current selected brick item. You lose brick items on death. Some bricks, that the host has named "static" may be invulnerable.

To host this, simply put it in your add-ons folder, it will automatically run if you have it, to host it 'well' you should load a build with plenty of weapon spawns, player spawns, and a variety of other bricks, and also set a default and dedicated minigame, which spawns players with a printer and the salvage tool. While hosting with this add-on, it will look like everyone has full trust with everyone, this is just to let the game work at its best, this trust is not real, and will not affect play on any other server, and will even go back to normal as soon as you stop using the mod. While running the mod disables undo, wand, normal paint color and brick selecting function, and the personal clearbricks command. The host may type "/salvagebypass" to go into bypass/cheat mode to build and paint things.

As of updates, there are now events for when a repair tool, salvage tool, or basher tool, hits a brick, respectively. These only trigger if the event does not destroy the brick. Bricks now also retain lights, emitters and emitter directions completely, and they retain events, including up to two, but only two currently, output parameters (a three field velocity counts as just one parameter) though the inventory, but not though the process of being dropped and picked up, yet. Now you need to type "/startsalvage" in game to enable the mod.

Giovan
Make SOME way that admins can build with this in their folder.

Otherwise, 5/5.
Greek2me
I take it this isn't Truce's? I'm thinking I'll stick with his
Hyperbob
@Giovan:

This add-on should solve that.
farsy34

superluigi123

BlockoCrafter

Piece of Shit wont run at all
wrothmonk
0/5 and no download since it automaticly runs from what you said because that is just plain stupid because all you can do to stop it from loading is to take it out of the folder.
GLaDOS
@Hyperbob
No, it doesn't. I've already tried that.
This mod pretty much disables your ability to spawn bricks, other than ones you've already salvaged.
AadamZ5
@wrothmong, Get out.
Dont fucking tell me "SHUT THA FUCK UP NIGGA!"
because, im not black. Nor racist.
So take your ass out of this post.
This is the best thing ever, And you say-
"0/5 and no download since it automaticly runs from what you said because that is just plain stupid because all you can do to stop it from loading is to take it out of the folder."
I am pissed at you, But not a Dren


-=ONTOPIC=-

5/5 as you can see,
Also, give a few links for some builds fo the game mode?

BTW DLing.
Giovan
And the update was what?
Ruiner369
What was the update? 5/5
ThinkInvisible
The update was a command to toggle normal building (not salvage mode, just the ability to plant bricks) - i assume this would turn it into a 'sabotage gamemode'
ChristopherP
Well then what is this command?
bob13
Its a frickin game mod!
wildbean78
@AdamZ5 XD man that was the est comment i have seen
in years LOL im not saying anything you said is wrong
its just funny the was you put it best comment ever!
XD
thecableguy
This would have more practicality if enabling it before starting a server was optional.
NuclearReaction
I only hate 2 things. the fact i cant use my duplicator or undo
snk13
the update was dissabling uilding and painting
justinlego001
it says a skull with a X under it :P NOT DOWNLOADING CUZ MAYBE VIRUS OR SOMTHIN'!
DrenDran
Justinlego, we don't need to know weather you want to download it or not. Also, the skull there simply means it was recently updated, which should be a good thing to most people.
Pancho
SO it's like minecraft?
very nice

LOVE IT!

Along with the non-forced enable, I'd like to see an RTB pref that lets you set the max items. 25 isn't many.
CrownRTB
Ahh great =]
General_Ardolf
lol now i can make a game based on that junkyard wars show... =D
littlepile
OMG, I love this mod! I used it at some server and it was the best server ever. O_o
Greek2me
I like Truce's a LOT better
DrenDran
Greek2Me doesn't realize that Truce's mod was not public, and that he doesn't actually have it.
That silly want-a-be.
Cookieman
Truce's mod was avaliable for testing a while back.
Gunny
Great the salvage mod isnt special anymore ... Why didnt you just keep this to your self dren dren?
Kashik
Because this is his mod, he can do what he wants
Xanderian
@Gunny
does it really matter whether it's special or not? no not really. it's his add-on anyways
Bobbybox40
thank you very much you are AOUSOME!!!!!!
BlackDragonIV
Hahaha I can see minecraft already :P
Kiddeh
I love you.
EndGame
This is such a great idea for a mod. It really is.

I just hit spring break, and I now have something to occupy my time with. Thank you.
ilikepie
Can you use this for a zombie survival? Like this: Before the zombies come, players go around looking for bricks to collect, which go to upgrading the barrier?
Talent74
Another awesome add-on from DrenDran.
Leopard
Use with zombie mod? If it works then you could also get the weather mod from the BL fourms, with timed zombie spawns and this, it would be great!
Brickster
This AND the minecraft pack?

...
Pie Crust
Got it but im gonna change it a bit. making it an actual survival mod with health, hunger, thirst, etc
knockout32
its like minecraft
toyota
no pix no clix
Alan227
toyota it dosent need picks it a game mode with a grate decripthion
YoshiDude
@toyota Really? its a gamemode its not something you can take a pic of
thecableguy
It's overall very fun but can get frustrating when you're in the unfortunate position of not having any weapon spawns of your own to defend yourself with, in the case that you haven't salvaged any. It really does make me mad to be on the recieving end of that rocket launcher. However, the satisfaction of having your own base makes up for this partially.

blueblur121
This + Cube prints + Minecraft print pack = EPIC
swatone
@blueblur
...
YES
francishateslouis
so this is like a minecraft type of gamemode excluding the surviving elements but ust pvp in general
meh gusta >w<
DrenDran
No, this is not like minecraft.
It is salvage.
God dam it when will you kids learn not to compaire everything to minecraft.
francishateslouis
well minecraft is pretty much the best comparasin i have to things like this because well it has salvaging elements and survival elements.
Black Shadow
I Agree With DrenDran. Minecraft Actally Kinda Fails.
cciamlazy
For some reason it wont let me host this. well it does but when I do you can salvage the bricks then you can place that brick as many times as you want.
DrenDran
Did you type in the start command?
cciamlazy
oh Derp lol
Arus3595
is there a stop cammand
Josheua
i agree with drendran and arus..... mine craft kinda sux and there has to be a stop command..
Mike and ike
@Josheua MINECRAFT DONT SUCK!
karbor
isnt JUST LIKE mine craft????? and i dont get i downloaded it and you place ANY of the bricks that you in yout invetory down D: it does not work.
DrenDran
karbor, don't be stupid
this isn't in any way related to minecraft
farsy34
is there a way to exit bypass mode, i want to build with salvage again :c
farsy34
Nvm
karbor
i dont get this mod D: how do you use it i mean like when i use the salvage hammer to get the brick,i put /drop and its wierd maybe im using it wrong???
linkforever755
How do i veiw my inventory?
SWAT433
@linkforever755
Just like how you view your bricks.
Portalboy
LOL

Use /salvagebypass
look the the message
it has 3 Ls in normally
lol
Also it really needs a /stopsalvage command...
4/5 because it doesn't have stop command and doesn't work with trench digging. It just breaks the whole dirtblock and doesnt split it up, I.E. you have a 64 cube dirtblock, you dig it, pwef. gone. no more 64 cube. :(
spore4277
I love pie.
froglover06
Hmm... Minecraft anyone? :)
littlepile
Wait, so does this work with v21?
Dark-Lord
Inventory doesn't drop the brick from my inventory when i place it.
Amir2223h
You empty your blocks, how?
i wonder who
Guy's lol you have to type /startsalvage
