Approved Applications / [Accepted] Third Times'a Charm! (Admin Application for Shifty)

« on: February 04, 2017, 10:14:56 pm »

* IGN: Shifty

* Current Rank: Moderator

* Playtime: 4w 2days 22hrs (Updated 4/25/2017)

* SteamID: STEAM_0:1:82551223
* SteamID64: 76561198125368175

* Age: 15

* Rank Applying For: Administrator

* Have you been banned from one of our servers?: Yep, once on Spacebuild.
* If you have been banned before, explain:  I lost my patience and said some unsavory things I didn't mean to Blox.

* Why you are applying:  I've played on the server for a long time and have played Spacebuild for a long time, and my favorite memories are from when people were active and had fun together; but those times are long past, and rarely anyone comes on.  With that being said, when people do come on, some can be minges and ruining other people's fun.  I rarely see other staff besides Trombone on the server and a lot of the time we want to arrange some good fun and stop the minges.  I just want to be able to further deal with minges, and be able to arrange fun events for people on the server and all around make the server a more pleasant place.

* How can you help the server:  As I've stated in almost all of my applications prior, I have a lot of time on my hands.  Meaning that a lot of it could be put into the server; there is really no need to state that, however, because a lot of my time is already spent on the server.  I have also played on the server a LONG time, and I have a near perfect understanding of the gamemode and how it works, which would allow me to more easily help others, diagnose their problems, and further expand their understanding of the gamemode.

* Any staff that can/have vouch(ed) for you: None yet.

BloxGaming SB3 / Tool Suggestion

« on: February 04, 2017, 09:59:32 am »

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=106753151


Visual Clip Tool.  Basically, Visual Clip Tool allows you to visually cut parts of props either by a plane defined by another prop or a manually set preference.  The title says "Could be broken!" But it's not.  It's also made by one of the guys who devs Spacebuild.  It says this cannot be installed with "PermaPoly Weld Tool" or "Prop Shrinker" but to my knowledge we don't have either of those.  It might be referring to PermaPoly Weld as the Polyweld Tool, which we have.  But no one uses Polyweld Tool, so it's better off if we uninstall it anyways.


The Visclip Tool would be particularly useful in making beautiful curves on ships.  I've tested the tool in SP and on other servers and it doesn't cause any major instabilities when parented or on moving objects.  Multiparent works perfectly fine on it and it is compatible with AdvDupe.

BloxGaming SB3 / A couple of random suggestions and ideas.

« on: January 20, 2017, 02:53:36 pm »

Recently I've been having some random ideas/suggestions for the server (and it's welfare) and I thought I should maybe list them.


1:  I love spacebuild and most of the maps.  Almost all maps are original and have cool designs and places to explore.  However, that sense of exploration is kind of ruined because you can noclip anywhere (except space).  And plus, people planet hop a lot (Gaining momentum, flying through space to the planet).  There's not really much we can do about planet hopping but I honestly feel like there should be a system where you can't noclip on a planet unless it's a spawn planet.  Not sure how it'd be implemented, but it's just a thought.


2: Since the server is tight on cash, I feel like you could sell the SC2 script on scriptfodder or something.  Of course you would have to get in a mutual agreement with Frog and Zombie, but I feel like it would help ensure the server staying up.


3: I don't have one yet, I really only had 2 things.

Development / Adv Dupe 2 SENT Restriction Bug (Sorta know how to fix the issue)

« on: October 27, 2016, 08:15:25 pm »

(Bottom middle of the screen, the error with a random ent.)


https://github.com/wiremod/advdupe2  I would recommend downloading the latest version, which has less bugs and more features.


Or don't.


Anyways, open up the advdupe2-master file.


go to advdupe2-master>lua>advdupe2 and then open the file called sv_clipboard.lua


I do not know the exact fix, but I have a vague idea from when I helped a buddy solve the problem.  Basically, search "IsAllowed" and there should be 6 results all under the same string.  From what my buddy told me, he said all he had to do was change the "false" statements to "true", and it solved the restricting of SENTs.






This is supposed to be at the top of the post, but for some reason the font messed up.  Basically what I said was, anyone below Admin is plagued with this issue.  That issue being all SENTs are restricted.  Rendstung also reported this issue before.

Development / SBEP Ents: Large Torp Error.

« on: October 19, 2016, 05:57:22 pm »

I made a nuke that used 10 large torps parented to a base parented to a puddle jumper.  I've tested it on numerous occasions without any instabilities but end up getting this error:


http://pastebin.com/mSzfwBjn


I don't know what causes it, but everytime the nuke itself goes off, it pastes this error 10 times into my console (For each torp I presume.).

Rejected Applications / [Denied] Administrator Application

« on: August 28, 2016, 03:35:34 pm »

IGN: Shifty

Currently Rank: Moderator

Playtime:  2 Weeks 5 Days(Approximately, give or take a day or so with the broken scoreboard.)

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:82551223

Age: 15

Rank Applying For:  Administrator

Have you been banned from one of our servers?: Yep. (Breaking Rule 6.(I remembered to list it this time!))

Why you are applying:  With the rebirth of Spacebuild and Bloxgaming, my love of Spacebuild has also been re-birthed.  I have been a member of this community for a substantial amount of time, and love helping it grow and flourish.  Becoming Administrator would further my ability to help and grow the community that I have grown to love.

How can you help the server:  As I have stated in my previous applications, I have an ungodly large amount of time on my hands.  With this time, I have spent most of it playing on the server.  With my unconditional activity, I'd be able to more easily report, handle, or deal with issues; such as people crashing the server, repeated spawn killing, and other actions that usually require an active staff member around at all times.

Any staff that can/have vouch(ed) for you:  Keeves, Razgriz, Major Catalyst, Mr. Pyro the Narwhal.

(Yes, I reused my old Admin App.  Nothing was wrong with it besides me forgetting to list some information.)

IGN: Shifty


Current Rank: Ultra Trusted


SteamID: STEAM_0:1:82551223


Age: 14


Rank Applying For: Moderator


Have you ever been banned from one of our servers?: That's a negative.


Why you are applying: I have too much time on my hands, and I really love and appreciate the BloxGaming community.  It would be an honor of mine to be a Staff Member of the community and "work" for it.  I also believe I am qualified enough, after working for 3 previous communities.


How you can help the server: Since I have too much time on my hands, I can be on regularly and in the event of an emergency, I could instantly respond.  Because I have worked and managed 3 previous communities, I believe I could also "Communicate" with the players and help make an all around friendlier community.


Any staff that can/have vouch(ed) for you: None, yet.


(EDIT Note:  I understand that it may have been too little gap from my promotion to Ultra Trusted and it could cause problems.  If it does, feel free to tell me to apply at a later date.)

Expression 2 (E2) Code / An E2 Request From: Shifty

« on: November 19, 2015, 02:29:45 pm »

For a while now, I've been building Space "Gas Stations" and Speeders. I had an idea for a Speeder so that it has no resource gen, but it has storage.  The idea is simple, but there's no way for me to tell whether I have enough resources to continue flying/going to planets. (I mean, an E2 that lists the resource could be used, but where's the fun in that?)


 Anyways, my E2 request is an E2 that reads Gas Storages and Resource Caches for the amount of resources.  When it has full resources, there is a HUD indicator(When you're in the chair) that is Green.  As resources are consumed, the color slowly fades from Greens, to Yellow Greens, to Yellows, to Shades of Orange, and then Red.  Red meaning "Hey, you better haul ass over to the resource station."


This sort of things is probably unbelievably simple, and possibly Doable without E2, but I lack the knowledge to either create an E2, or make a system similar to what I want. Anyways, Happy coding! (If anyone does)

Approved Applications / Shifty's Ultra-Trusted Application

« on: November 08, 2015, 07:04:14 pm »

IGN: Shifty


Current Rank: Trusted
SteamID: STEAM_0:1:82551223


Age: 14


Rank Applying For: Ultra-Trusted


Have you been banned from one of our servers?: No.


Why you are applying: Because I am active, and I can be on the server in the event of a staff member not being present. I have also worked for numerous communities, so I have experience in the field of Moderation/Other things related. The reason I am applying for Ultra-Trusted, instead of a higher rank, is that I wish to be a pseudo-staff member of this community, without being a higher-up. (At least, not yet.)


How you can help the server: With my experience in moderation, and being in other communities, I know how to properly handle a situation in which someone is breaking the rules, or doing something else that is troublesome.

Introduce Yourself / Herro Everyjuan!

« on: August 24, 2015, 07:48:05 am »

Hello, I'm Shifty.  I'm pretty sure you are well aware of my moronic tendencies. Because I'm a fucking imbecile.
Anyways, I've recently joined the SpaceBuild server (About a week ago) and I believe I've made great progress with my building and designs. I'm still primitive compared to everyone else >.> .  Anyways, my topic about Raz probably projected me out as a douche, which I can be sometimes.  I'm usually lighthearted and funny, but I guess I was caught on a bad day.  Hopefully to whoever is reading this, (Raz, Bert, Blox, whoever) doesn't hold that against me, it was a big misunderstanding.  But I'm not really one to give out personal info, so it's more of an apology letter than anything... or something... but yeah.  I'm Shifty. >.>
