Sledge changed a lot since version 0.1.0.16
Feels more like a modeling program now.

Oddly enough, I didn't see trimesh, whatever happened to that?

Lighting is exquisite! What compile tools are you using?

Found the device,but its not ready yet.

wait a sec, are those drop-downs? I don't have drop downs...

I just learned about the VM Scale thing in hammer. How this has been there and I could have used it a billion times in the past is aggravating. Please say all of the features in sledge are easily found.

Here's something applicable.

How about selecting the faces with a certain texture applied to it. Say I wanted to change all of one texture, sure I could do that with replace, but now I would have to find that texture everywhere and select it by hand. This was something that was encountered recently.

Its dark cuz there's no sun in that skybox, gawd don't you know anything?

... dafuq?

Irrelevant but I was here when I noticed it.

Relevant: Me and Zeeba are plotting to make something. Details later.

My last thought before I went to sleep last night was "I wonder if we're expecting too much from Penhuinboy?" and then there were cartoon rabbits.

KOTH and CP for HLDM came far too late in it's lifetime to be useful or relevant. Its a shame, I worked so fucking hard inventing the triggerwork for them.

I think the point was to have a map jam for the server since we have one again. I wish it was teamplay or could be set to teamplay for certain maps. I also wish I had the time and energy to devise some kind of experimental free-for-all DM map type that worked and would be enjoyable.

Does it have to be a "remake" cuz i was messing about and came up with something a bit interesting i named "battleknot"

Wow I didn't think anyone would like the idea, I thought the idea was going to be disbanded by off-grid technicalities. Anyway glad I posted, and thanks.

Most of my suggestions come from two programs, 3DS Max and a program called TurboCAD I used a while back for technical planning and drawing.

TCAD was interesting because it had the changeable grids. It's how I planned out R'Dia and created the 6D logo.R'Dia was inspired by one of the original Xen maps from HL1. The map was radial in design, focused around a central point.

The triangular grid I never used, but Kasperg's map called Hexagerate was really interestingly designed in hexagons. It would allow easier angles of construction at more that what we know. I often do 45 degree angles because they were a great challenge and broke the grid without being geometry too different and unmanageable. A triangular grid provides more to work with.

Those are just a few examples, I'm curious to see what PB comes up with.
Sledge FTW!

Have you ever considered differently shaped grids?

Valve was able to get a connection between Google Sketchup and Hammer. Sketchup can export stuff to a format that Hammer can read, but I never managed it because its really specific.

Tetrahedrons would be a good way to get the faces, but the importer has to be used with a bit of understanding. I would using it for geometric and neatly spaced curves that are otherwise impossible. Who knows, I might want to make something like...

...this.or..... this.

DiscoStu, you will win 10,000 internet points if you post a picture of the repair man to this thread. XD

Saw this.I'm sold.

Yeah I'm getting randy over that OBJ import thing. The environmental implications could be astounding. Believable rock/cliff formations, islands (floating or not) Curved arches, even ships and space ships. For source, you could rough out your displacements in a 3D package and refine it in Sledge. I'm definitely going to see how far this goes.

Each of the Biomes o'Plenty trees have their own kind of wood and the closest I've found was Tropical. Cocoa needs the regular minecraft kind. It has the id of 6:3

I've been testing wood hoping for a workaround but I haven't found any solutions. It is possible to get cocoa by making brown wool using brown dye from Iris' and smashing it in a pulverizer. It then gives me what IT thinks the brown wool is made of, giving me 4 string and a 30% chance of cocoa. Farming like this is the biggest pain in the ass, as you also cannot farm Iris and must find it in the wild.

Give me some trees, I'll share.

Found a flaw in the modpack. There's no junglewood trees in Biomes 0'Plenty so you can't find or grow Cocoa for chocolate things in the food plus mod. It's really defeating.

Sooooo uhm... Atom if you could drop some jungle saplings in my mail box, that'd be greeeeat.

Server is down I think and I didn't do it. AotBT servers must be hard to keep online with more than 2 people online. :<

is that .OBJ thing working or is that a planned thing?

Place weapons in locations that would give a player an immediate advantage.

No i'm not pissed anymore.

Before I left the Tropics forever, I snapped a selfie with the dinosaurs that crashed the server.SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH!
(seriously, i went there for tropical fish for my aquarium...)

Yes it is different. Must have generated a new seed.

It wouldn't be too missed if you started over. I have nothing, stuck in the tropics, need diamonds to make a new portal to get to a home that is no longer way pointed or might not even be there.

Like I said I wouldn't mind a clean slate. I'm so fucking pissed.

Never morph into anything larger than a Ghast. Unfortunately the problems dinosaurs cause seem carelessly untested with the morph mod. Dinosaurs have been known to destroy lots of servers so this problem isn't uncommon.

EDIT: I died in the tropics and lost all of my stuff!!! It didn't teleport me back to the portal because the map is different. I'm completely stuck!!!

That dinosaur with the hat fucked up the server really, really bad.

It still doesn't work.
Now it says im missing a bunch of mods......

I can't connect to the server. It says "The following multiparts are not installed: PR_RFIRE"

SP works fine but are you sure the server is 1.0.9c?

EDIT: I just reinstalled AOTBT and it didn't solve it... wtf.

I found a solution and its not on my end. The server needs to update because something on the server's modpack is different than anything I have. Even if I run 1.0.9c, something is JUST different enough to kick me off. Reinstall 9c or update it to a newer version.

They updated it and added 3 mores mods. I know BIBLIOCRAFT is one of them!

WOOHOO!

EDIT: I'm getting a constant error that prevents me from joining the server. I tried the latest build and it didn't work, and the current build after a reinstall just said the same thing...

No, it involves me and a giant dinosaur with a top hat. XD

I'm actually stuck in the tropics and can't get back to the overworld :*(

EDIT: did some experimentation in singleplayer. When you morph into a extremely large dinosaur, it can crush the land and make it flat. Like, super massive land flattening capabilities. The problem is that it only changes the terrain on the client side of things. Even in single player, the server never updates and the player gets horribly stuck. I guess it overloads.

EDIT 2: Server has to be restarted. It's not letting me sign in.

Crashed the server pretty bad. How it happened was rather funny

Bear joke was good, reminded me of this old one.

There was a clearing in the woods with a magic lamp at the center. One day a wolf was chasing after a rabbit in hopes to eat him for lunch. When they came upon this clearing and saw the lamp, they both jumped for it and touched it at the same time. A genie appeared and spoke to them.

"Since you both touched my lamp at the same time, I will give you both three wishes."

The wolf went first saying "Alright! I wish I was the only male wolf in this entire woods!" The genie granted his wish.

The rabbit wished "I want an awesome motorcycle!" The genie granted his wish.

The wolf said "Wait, I wish to be the only male wolf in this whole country!" The genie granted that too.

The rabbit said his second wish, "Oh, I wish for a cool helmet to go with my new motorcycle!" The genie gave him a cool helmet.

The wolf said his final wish. "No, hold on, I wish I was the ONLY male wolf in the entire world! All of the she-wolves will have to come to me for pups now!" The genie granted his wish and he was the only male wolf in the world.

The rabbit hopped on his motorcycle and strapped his helmet to his head. He started his motorcycle up and revved it. As he was pulling away from the wolf and the genie, he yelled his last wish.

"I WISH HE WAS GAY!"

Someone asked me what a vasectomy was, so I told them that its when you go to pay the stork and the check bounces.

JOKE 1

A group of passengers were on an small airplane when the captain realizes they are carrying too much weight. The captain makes an announcement that they must jettison some luggage out of the hatch. Among the passengers, a chef, a business man, a priest, and a terrorist were stepped up to throw their stuff out. First the chef.

"I am wealthy enough, I suppose I could purchase a new frying pan when I land." And he tosses the pan out.

Next was the business man. "I can have my assistant fax me these papers, it's ok." And so he tossed out his brief case.

Next was the priest. "This bible of mine could land upon a poor soul and teach him the word of God." He tosses his bible out.

The terrorist takes off his vest lined with dynamite. "I am a coward and I don't want to die just yet." Tosses the vest off the plane and everyone thanks him. The plane was now light enough to make the journey safely.

Later that day, the priest was walking down the road to his church when he saw a woman crying. He asked what is so sad and she replied "I told my husband that his work would kill him, then a briefcase fell from the sky and hit his head and killed him." The priest comforted her and moved on.

A few houses down he saw a man crying. He asked what was so sad and the man replied. "I asked the heavens for an answer and this bible fell from the sky before me. I am crying of joy!" The priest congratulated him and moved on.

Next he found a boy laughing hysterically. "My dear boy what is so funny?"
The boy replied, "I farted and my house blew up!"

JOKE 2

A guy was riding on an small airplane, and he decided to smoke a cigar. Unfortunately, he was sitting next to a woman with a dog. The dog began coughing, so the lady said, "Excuse me, sir, but could you please put out your cigar? It's really bothering my dog."

He angrily replied, "No, I won't! You shouldn't have a dog on this flight anyways!"

"This is a non-smoking flight! You need to put that cigar out!" she said. They argued back and forth... get rid of the dog, put out the cigar, and so on.

Finally, the man said, "Look, I'll compromise with you. If you get rid of your dog, I'll get rid of the cigar." He was thinking, "She'll never want to give up her dog." But much to his surprise, she agreed to the deal!

The lady opened the hatch and threw her dog out. The man, thinking that he had another cigar anyways, threw his cigar out the window, thinking that he had won.

When they returned to their seat. The woman was sad as the man looked out the window. To his surprise the dog was on the wing! He showed the woman. "What's that in his mouth?" She asked.

It was a frying pan.

Looks like the schematic view in 3DS Max. Its like a graphic breakdown of interrelationships.LOTS of 3d packages have such a view because the rigging and animation can get incredibly hard to look at and understand.

@DiscoStu yeah I think there was that "show connections" thing. If it did work I never used it.

I'm not suggesting we reinvent the mousetrap here, but working with GS entities can be disorienting. When working on those Cap-point and KOTH entity setups, I really wished I had a way to see what was triggering an entity, and what it was triggering.

Then again, does anyone know how what kind of power one can have when you turn SmarEdit off and start inserting parameters that weren't there before? Anyone ever experiment with this?

Or even knowing what entities target it. Maybe not a complete I/O system, but perhaps something that is a bit more ergonomic.

The tornado doesn't damage anything. It picks up loose things like players, animals, and items and tosses them about. It did no damage to me since I was morphed into a bat and didn't take fall damage.

I also just found out you can make big flags with your face on it. I'M STAKING MY CLAIM! I CLAIM THAT FOREST AS MY TURF! GET OFF MY LAWN! lol.

My current project is making said flag and getting the farming things under way. I have a few farm plots and cleared a bunch of land for more stuff. Growing cotton is a waste of time if you have a bunch of sheep, it's faster.

I also want to get into the Tropicraft stuff at some point. You can capture fish and make aquariums. Tropicraft also comes with a new tropic-only world so I'll need to figure out how to get there and back.

Thermal Expansion.

Super pick for extra ore. Pulverizer for 2 dust per processed ore. Electric furnace for fast cooking of the ore dust into ingots. It works pretty fast with my current setup. Though ore processing is like a Tier 2 tech thing compared to the galacticraft things. We have a ways to go yet.

I was wondering if the FGD can be creatively interpreted for an I/O setup. Even if its just one in and out after all options have been explored, would it make enough of a difference? Could a new FGD be made to improve upon this in some way.

Fortune favors the bold...

IS and input-output system possible in some way for GS?

I love this modpack.

Giant fucking hats...Tornadoes fucking my shit up...Me, fucking Atom's shit up...Good times...

I didn't get a screenshot of my ore processing plant before I logged off for the day. It works fast and its only half done. No need to make it too big I guess. I have 1 pulverizer that doubles the ore output, then electric furnaces that turn them into ingots. It got through stacks of ore in about 20 minutes, works faster than the ones in tekkit, although the ones in AOTBT don't seem to upgrade. I wonder if the galacticraft ones do?

Something that's pissing me off is that there is no info one most of the stuff. The wiki is terribly incomplete and its hard to find a lot of info regarding what the interactions are and how to make some stuff. The NEI doesn't show the Recipe for a lot of things.

I love my Cintiq more!
