I want to start this off with Gmod before I nearly piss my pants in joy after what I read on Notch’s Blog tonight.<\/p>\n
I’ve been working hard on that thing I mentioned in the previous blog entry; the “SubmarBoat”. A boat that thinks it’s a sub. I knew if I posted it in the Contraptions section, they would tear it apart and find every fucking flaw with it (mainly design and effort) instead of actually helping<\/strong> me make it work as-is. What’s worse is they’re treating me like a noob. One guy even had the nerve to tell me the basics of welding, which I already know. I have been playing since 8.3b. To tell you the truth, it does suck. Here I’m trying to make a boat that also works like a sub, and I’m thinking too much SUB and not enough BOAT. . Before he talks about what has been fixed\/added, he mentions about some mods being on a thin line with him, and he frowns upon them. But what’s important is why I made this. Minecarts will finally be bug-free in SMP! This is GREAT, great news for my tram lines. Finally it’ll have a purpose for its existence. Also, boats will be seen by other players. There will also be support for texture packs, and new menus for it, servers, and single player worlds. It’s almost as if he’s trying to put a little Gmod into Minecraft. More GUI menus.<\/p>\n No doubt though that such a mega update is going to cause mega downtime for minecraft.net. That’s why I need to update early, before everyone else does. Of course this will break all of my mods yet again.<\/p>\n Unfortunally this doesn’t fix the leaf issue with leaves not being deleted when all the wood is removed from the tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I want to start this off with Gmod before I nearly piss my pants in joy after what I read on Notch’s Blog tonight.

\nAfter several failures of trying to get the damn thing to sink correctly<\/strong>, I have had to settle with Toggable Wire Hoverballs. Still, it has alot of remaining bugs. Mainly weight distribution issues.
\nWhen it sinks, it acts like as if the two doors I installed to act like airlocks are weighing it down. Yet it seems just fine in boat mode.
\nI used to know a guy along time ago that was an expert in subs and making them sink properly. He knew how to weigh the props and make it work everytime. Since I don’t even remember the guy, I have to ask what I don’t want to. Facepunch.<\/p>\n
\nBut I posted it anyway, hoping some kind soul (like the guy that helped me) would show up and say “Hey, I can help you. Fire up a server and I’ll get this thing working correctly.” Alas, that did not happen and the comments were fast and harsh. It’s gotten so bad I’m not even bothering looking in it anymore.<\/p>\n
\nStill, it hurts. I worked so hard and they tear it up with their dickish comments. Telling me to build something that “doesn’t take 5 seconds”. I did expect it, but I still hope for SOME FUCKING COMPASSION!! D:
\nNow I don’t know if it’s even worth working on it now. It’ll never be good enough for those fucking elite jerks.<\/p>\n
\nBut the thing is, I’m trying to pull away from the “PHX Sub” and “PHX Boat” designs that have been overused for months. I want something fresh. Something new. But nothing is coming to mind!
\nEverytime I get an idea it’s either based from the PHX Sub and\/or PHX Boat. Very frustrating. Such as making a PHX Boat and having a hatch over it for sub mode. But again, that’s recycling old, overused ideas.<\/p>\n
\n.
\nNow for the good shit. While in Facepunch I went to the Minecraft thread and noticed the second poster pasted news from Notch’s Blog, about an “Update coming tomorrow”. I noticed this was posted TODAY (which is yesterday at the time of this blog entry).
\nI checked out Notch’s Blog and sure enough he mentions an update on the 9th (yesterday) coming on the 10th (today). Why Wednesday, though? Doesn’t he release updates on Friday? I think this is the first time he’s done it.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, he means mods that alter gameplay to give you an unfair advantage (there’s only one I know of that does, but it’s for SSP. INVedit.).
\nYet he also mentions “useful” mods like the bridge mod might be allowed into the game.<\/p>\n
