Dead Topic, No Necro-ing

[Keon]

ofcourse maybe you can change it a little adding mor future ingredients replacing the ingredients used now
but people would still need medicen druggs and perfromance enhancer

and another spacey idea what if you throw items into space
and they would drift away
but if you drop blocks with q it would just be placed infont of you
this way ships can make systems to build walls behind them with rubble
and if ships explode you get really nice wreckage

Great idea! This way, when big ships explode, we have a million flying blocks to calculate the positions and speeds of, then make them collide realistically, and light them! Because that wont cause lag at all!
Besides, from the way I understand it, Space is like the void, there are no blocks or possible block positions. Essentially, you can't place blocks, only entities. If you're building a space station, then you are adding onto the pocket-dimension version of the station, which is an entity in the main dimension.

Did I explain that right, FR0STBYTE? (Note the capitals implies only he can correct me)

Wow...

You beat me on the sarcasm meter.

Also, frost. How does lighting work on the outside of spacecraft that could be rotating relative to the sun?

[fr0stbyte124]

For any sort of reasonable lighting, we'll need dynamic shadows. Specifically the hard variety, because no atmospheric scattering. I don't know how expensive this will be. In space there is a lot of room for optimization, which I haven't even begun to look into. Reduced geometry/mapped areas, mostly static objects, well-defined hull areas, half of the faces are guaranteed to be shadowed, etc.

If we needed to allow for a vanilla-style look, then we would just make it perpetually night and let people scratch their heads as to why the sun isn't lighting anything up. I'll tell you why. It's because you're playing Minecraft on your laptop like a noob and I can't fix that!

Spoiler:

I would like to appologize to all the Minecraft laptop players out there. I know you can't help that you are noobs, and it was improper of me to bring it up.

Things in Space

But what would happen then with all the things in space what about mining
And what would happen then when ships explode they just vanish leaving all the people inside instantly dead
With their spawn point in the ship that was destroyd or just let them hang in space
And i get the part sattelietes being entities instead of blocks
But what about asteroids and non atmospheric planets

Every time you format your sentences like that I get the feeling you are writing a poem. I'm going to start formatting it as such if you don't use proper punctuation.

*Edit*
It actually turned out rather lovely if I do say so.

[joykler]

i like poems so whats wrong about it even if it isnt my purpose


een ezel in het algemeen
stoot zich niet 2 keer
aan dezelfde steen

did you like that
its you because

je stoot
je telkens
aan mijn
poems

ha

[fr0stbyte124]

I like your unintentional poetry better. They make moderately more sense.

Anyway, planets are static terrain. There can only ever be one of them within polygon draw distance of the camera at any given time. All foreign terrain must be a proxy entity which maps the coordinate transformations and keeps track of collisions. There can be any number of these, within reason.

If a ship blows up, a player must respawn on either a home planet or in some sort of nexus lobby, depending on how we want to set it up. Asteroids are proxy entities as well, so that they can have independent movement.
I don't know what you are asking about mining.

I think what jokler is trying to say
is that when you go to mine
you tnt blocks which will blow away
and fly and fly and fly

And so if you have blocks flying like that
you need to code them, correct?
I think that joykler finally said something
that makes a bit of bl**dy sense!

POEMS FTW

[fr0stbyte124]

I'm not reading that out of principle.

[҉]

Absolutely useless necro to write a poem.

[Ra1der Dr1verz]

great, second necro in a week. I need to read when the last post was more often...

[Ivan2006]

That indeed is an important skill when part of this community.

[Ra1der Dr1verz]

Just realised why I'm not getting a point for this... it's my topic.

Nope. Necroing your own topic only is an argument against pointaition if it´s in the shipyards topic.

No, that doesn't save you. You get points for necroing your own topics too. You haven't gotten a point because that would require, like, three whole clicks and I'm too lazy to do it. Also, Keon objected. So you've probably got a pass this time, unless Tiel is less lazy than me. Which I don't think he is.
