That's the way I read it on the Class Reference. RBX.lua.(INSTANCE) ⇒OutOfSpace

The Plane tutorial...

I'll have eye cancer if I look at it for too long X_X. It'll be hard to do, but getting this thing to a small size is possible. Also, thanks for testing all of those scripts ⇒OutOfSpace

We have liftoff!

Special:Longpages

Stage 1 - Complete Success! ⇒OutOfSpace

Form of input...

It's all cake lies. This is where the code came from. It's how you set the code, for the code door.

⇒OutOfSpace

Roblox pages

My parents pulled me off right before I could do anything to it>.<, thanks for fixing it! It had too many 'x_x' pages.

⇒OutOfSpace

Jobs

Wow, I had to think on that! And what a great way to stop noobs from getting contact information xD. ⇒OutOfSpace

YES!

They're updating...on the only day that I'm off =P ⇒OutOfSpace

>.< Looks like they're on hold. I wonder what could be taking so long?


List of Roblox Pages

I don't think you understand. That page is there so that people can advertise their own roblox fansite. Roblox has it there for that reason. It's not there to show what's on the blogroll only. Clockwork would've locked it if it was intended to be very straight forward (e.g. Here are our sites, read them, we're not adding yours.) It's a player creation page, just like Places and Creation Ideas. And using the excuse "I'm tired of cleaning this page." isn't going to persuade me from undoing the redirect you made, because if you wont do it, I will clean it; and it's as simple as that. ⇒OutOfSpace

I want it gone as much as you do. The only thing keeping me from doing that, is it's official. Roblox has set a place where a regular person can advertise their site and keep it on the list, so long as it meets the criteria. Unless the administraition tells s otherwise, the only thing we can do to that page is keep out the bad and make sure it's relatively decent.
Here inlies a problem: Where do we draw the line? When does it have an end? When do we stop taking care of something that has grown to be nothing more than cancer, an uncontrollable growth of un-updated sites!? When do we stop taking care of it?
Plus I don't expect anyone to make an announcement about its closure. And I can see where and why you stand for shutting it down and replacing it with a simple list of 'Official' blogroll sites. You don't need my permission to edit it. You can undo any changes I've made and I will not undo them, from now until I get confirmation from an Admin (either Clockwork or Reece ), or a Mod ( I.e. MrDoomBringer ) on its official future.
And I'm not trying to be a butt about this, but what happens if every new player posts something stupid on the wiki, do we shut it down because it's redundant to edit it and make anything productive on here? Do we lock all the player creation pages because they get filled with too much crap? Yes. Yes we do. And if I don't get a reply In 27 hours uppon sending my messages, it will be a list of the bloroll, unless they tell us otherwise.
Now to address who will edit it while I'm gone. Let's consiter how many people really read it. If we had 150 people reading that page a day, most sites on there would be very populated. But that isn't the case, so noone will edit. I'm sorry to tell you, but there are only 3-4 really good daily editors on here that check in daily. So, noone will edit it for about a day. What's thwirst that can happen? Mass reverts.

⇒OutOfSpace

Don't worry about a thing. I'll make sure it gets taken care of. If you see it on Recent Changes, just ignore it. ⇒OutOfSpace

Away

If your wondering why I'm away, the marching band I'm in has plenty of places to go >.< Ill be on for most of next week though, so you can take a break then. Great work on all of those math pages!! You did a brilliant job! ⇒OutOfSpace

We're not going ot DC...maybe next year xD. I'll be doing the major 'maintanace' or however you spell it. ⇒OutOfSpace

== Citations ==

Anam... cite whatever page you want, I'm looking at [1] right now, but it really doesn't matter to me. MINDRAKER 11:10, 15 October 2008 (CDT)

Alright. Thanks for the site, I found what I was looking for. :) --Anaminus 11:30, 15 October 2008 (CDT)

Thanks mindraker!

Thanks for helping me with Scripting with Grammar. You made it easier to read and understand. Keep it up!

RE: Could I ask you a favor

Dear Anaminus: There are some redundant links on the main page. I edited out a few, but realized to my horror that the main page was quite a delicate little thing. I know you're good at the wiki. Do you have any 'lick and spit' ways of removing the two redundant links without making the front page look like a mess? MINDRAKER 00:39, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean? Does the main page get all jumbled and messed up when you try to change it? Is it that bad??
By the way, Gavin12 isn't following the Policy very well... hint hint bash bash --Anaminus 06:39, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
>User_talk:Anaminus#Could_I_ask_you_a_favor
I think I see what you mean. Here's what you have to do:
Each section in Help Center starts with this:
| {{CatImage || image=
Add so each is like this:
|valign="top"|{{CatImage || image=
This way, they will be aligned upward instead of centered. --Anaminus 10:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Dear Mindraker:

I know some of this is already around. But im trying to add my own point of view. People might have difficulty understanding some of the other ones. Its always better.

Dear Mindraker:

Would it be okay if I added some tutorials that were not on the wiki already?

Well I'm back

From my vacation xD. I bet MrDoomBringer's happy he won't have 'new message' nearly everyday. And the wiki looks good. Anything major happen while I was gone? ⇒OutOfSpace


ATOS

Well, JustinP231 removed it, so, I'm trying to recreate it. So far I've gotten:

  • Slimes can roll to a spot.
  • They can remove any "Part" that isn't locked.
  • They can turn random colors.
  • They die apon hitting the end wall.

Hopefully he puts it back up, but idk.. ⇒OutOfSpace

I don't think he'd let us have it either way. I'll ask him, but he's dealing with everyone else who loved it :( If it does come down to me having to re-create it, what new features/changes would you like? ~Space

Ok, I stayed up until 1:19am making sure every single bug was out of it.
  • Here's the new features:
    • Slimes can now eat a maximum of 35 parts. They do eat hats.
    • They now rely on Body Angular Velocity instead of Body Position.
    • The game fully runs, removing all tools when the slimes enter, and giving them to the players when they leave.
      • I didn't put tools, or parts, in the game yet but the "game script" changed the parent of the model that they'll be in.
  • Here's some hidden changes. (very important, but not seen):
    • There is now a way to adjust maxSpeed and Acceleration from the workspace.
    • I can make changes to the slimes script, and a script will update the slime's main script without me manually having to do it.
    • The red wall is in a diffrent model from the "Base" and other "Walls"
  • Things that would make it less laggy:
    • There are 32 slimes. 8 per row, and 4 per collum.
    • You will ALWAYS have 6 minutes to build and 3 minutes (which I'm thinking of changing) to survive. I think in the original game it was randomly set to 4-7 minutes.
Any specific "VIP" feaatures you want? ⇒OutOfSpace

Ok, V.1.9g fixes just about everything. The entire place can run multiple times without hitting any errors.
  • Here are the fixes/additions:
    • One thing I thought needed to be added was a ban script, It's now there.
    • Slimes nolonger eat the base when they "fly".
    • The max they can eat is 17 parts.
    • All walls have been fixed so that they don't get eaten.
    • There are now several types of briks to build with (multi-colored, studded the same way as the original game, and are diffrent sizes.)
    • Slimes remove anything whose parent is not "Slime".
    • The walls remove anything that touches it (exempting slimes)
  • Here are the things I'd like to addon for V.2.0b . Please comment on them:
    • Slimes have reflectance.
    • Roof (That cleans itself.)

**People can't build near the end.

    • More Slimes and building space.
    • More brick types.
    • Debris.
UPDATE: 1.A2 includes:
    • Slimes have reflectance.
    • Roof (That cleans itself.)
    • Fixed wall error..again...=P
UPDATE: 1.A2b includes:
    • More brick types.
    • More building space.
    • More slime control (BAV)

And that's the last of it. Next major thing will be the PM_SYSTEM for my script builder. I'll send you a PM for everything else.


Version 2.0 brings in lots of internal changes.
  • Here are the internal:
    • There is now a "SlimeControls" model. You can control:
      • Reflectance
      • Transparency
      • Angular Direction
      • MaxSpeed
      • "RandomColors" tougle.
      • How many parts can slimes eat.
    • All the scripts are sorted in models by "GameScripts" and "SlimeScripts" reducing the hastle of updating every single slime.
    • The Configuration file for the slimes has been re-written.
  • Here are physical differences:
    • Block that can align.
    • More space
    • Less slimes (it was 8 slimes in a row by 4 in a collum (32), now it's 3x10 (30))
  • Bugs fixes. These were released in 2.1:
    • The base, walls, and end wall can't be removed.
    • The spawn has been moved lower, but the roof will stay the same.
    • Easier Configuration fixes.
I expect to release this later tonight or tommorow. ⇒OutOfSpace
