Seclevs, Blocks and Physics Headaches

all of my post were on topic

I dont know what everone is talking about when ever I played on terraria it did not lag at all with water. The only time it did lag was when they drained the ocean and it only lasted couple of secend.

my Internet is slow in the first place

 

Ah, that reminds me!
Will you be able to attach things such as Kegs to Sails, making a flying bomb?
If so, it should detach after a set distance, raining explosive doom on your enemies.

 

Capitals are for the first word in a sentence, reading your posts make my brain hurt.

Ontopic; bombs would only roll down the new slope blocks I assume, since the kag landscape is based on blocks, bombs would not be able to roll down hills. Maybe you could make a bomb launcher using a long slope then a ramp.

 

A question I recently began pondering, is there going to be less lag eventually? For example, instead of having doors client-side, can they be server dependent? If everything is client dependent, there will be more lag, and therefore more glitches, especially with the new physics it sounds like. *bounces on trampoline, dies, body teleports to previous postition with an enemy dancing on it's head*

 

I think that wouldn't be added, just think: Put kegs under boat, sails attached to kegs resulting in flying boat(it would be funny as hell anyway :D)

 

thats not what I meant.
what I meant was this:
you keep exactly the same system, but water will only be spawned if there is empty space, and where you dig a block next to the water.
that way, you can safely dig down, and there would still be water.

 

Er. I think the concept you are trying to explain is the exact thing he just explained. It's kind of the same concept and would more than likely run into the same problem as stated. I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.

 

Suppose there is one drop of water, resembling a puddle. When I dig nearby blocks, this little drop of water is going to get bigger, and fill up everything that I just dug. Infinite water? Seems legit! :p Ah well, I suppose it's better than lag. It would be hilarious to drown some tunnelers too. That's what you get for diggin' down!

 

I wonder if it's possible to have underground springs, and while tunneling if you happen to open one it'll just flood the tunnel. That'd be rad.

 

of course, it will only flow down and sideways... and you have to be pretty stupid to open an underground lake...

no its not. the water would actually act like an infinite source of water, and it would create water next to and down of the water if possible. the water will be a block, but it would be without wierd flows and streaming and all that stuff... its not terraria.

 

Oh gawd theirs going to be so much more rage with bombs in this build

One trampolines

Two Ramps

Three Being in a boat

Four less lag to blame

Fine ill not capitallize

Well a lot of new things are being added, we can't rule out lag on a monumental scale just yet.

 

Unfortunately we've already been told that we CAN'T have Terraria water, so I doubt there will be any underwater springs or flooding. I also think we can stop bitching about whether Terraria water is any good or not, considering it isn't relevant since it won't be used, good or bad.

I dread to think of water in Zombie mode though. How the hell are we going to hunt for deep underground portals if death water is everywhere after the first couple dozen blocks? Sure, after boats we'd be able to deal with the surface, but frankly, most of my time on zombie servers are spent underground.

As for ramps, I'll wait and see. Frankly I don't know enough about the ramps to talk intelligently about them (although I totally already have since I apparently have no problem being a dumbass). I'm still wary though, if KAG has taught me anything, it's that most traps will hurt your own team more then you, and most traps can easily be dealt with by a builder with some ladders (as long as he has a good enough escort). But again, I'll have to wait and see how they work.

 

Ah, I'm guessing you must be a game designer and know exactly how such a thing works, and could explain it to Geti! Problem solved.

 

I will play these maps so hard my fingers will bleed, cause i got a blister on my finger...
it dosnt hurt but yeah anyway sounds Awesome

Cant wait for the update it will be amazing, but bombs will still be my most feared enemy

 

imagine the castles after this!

 

Um why? their going to be (mostly) the same just ramps and ropes in the mix but yeah
it will be different
