Hey guys. Its TheJyGuy. Been a while eh?

Since the "Thug Life" didn't choose a lot of people, I feel more than obliged to inform everyone on how to be a true "gangsta."
Step 1: When you go to a McDonald's (or somewhere else), ask for a water cup, but actually put soda in it.
Step 2: If you actually have friends to message, "text" them while your battery's under 10%.
Step 3: If you see an "Exit Only" door, enter through it.
Step 4: Record sports on the TV, even if you don't have the expressed written consent.
Step 5: If you have to fart, fart right in front of someone's face, especially if they're sitting down, or something.
Step 6: When you're at the table, keep your elbows all over the table.
Step 7: Movie hopping (where you buy a ticket for 1 movie, but you see more than one).
Step 8: If you smoke, blow the smoke into a baby's face whenever the parents aren't looking.
Step 9: Wear clothes that's at least 3 sizes too big for you.
Step 10: Post pictures of yourself all over the internet with you holding up a BB gun, &/or your Dad's gun (or whatever), while having a Twilight, &/or My Little Pony poster in the background.

Ok, since this doesn't really have a forum yet and theres a pr3r subsection, I'm gonna go ahead and make a forum for this. Basically, Civilization PR3 is a game run on PR3 where you get to control a country/empire. You can engage in relations with other countries, have colonies, go to space, wage brutal wars, and more! There is an information spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

While updates aren't always constant, you should expect updates to it atleast every week. I also occasionally introduce "NPC countries" so that theres stuff to compete with. You are always allowed to start out as an NPC. However, please note that if you take the role of a NPC country, you will keep all relations and stuff that nation had. Most of this stuff is explained on the level itself.
There is a discord mostly dedicated to CivPR3 here: https://discord.gg/ZJhVXG9

Current world map: 

Basically, upon attempting to finish the work unit, it's stuck at 99.99% done, ETA 2 seconds, but it wont actually finish. Anyone know why this is occurring?


EDIT: It finished and sent after letting it run on that for about a minute or two.

I never really understood why so many people buy jeans that are "faded," &/or already ripped. I honestly never wear jeans (except for just about a month ago for the first time in at least 5+ years), but if I did, they definitely wouldn't be ripped/faded. I have these sweatpants that can also be shorts, & I love them, but they kinda faded, so when they're as sweatpants (they have a little zipper that you zip to the shorts, if you don't know what I'm talking about), there's definitely a noticeable difference in the color, which I think is kinda unfortunate. Enough about my "JNCO" sweatpants. I just think it's very frivolous to buy jeans that look like they've been used everyday for at least a full year. It's pretty funny how jeans that are already faded (& by "faded," I mean a cheap streak down the jeans to make it look it's been actually faded, even though it looks like someone accidentally spilled very cheap bleach very strategically over the legs), &/or ripped will usually cost more than new jeans. & same with "acid-washed" jeans. This might just be because I'm not from Canada, but I never really cared for them, but I still won't ever judge anyone for wearing them, though. I guess I can see why some people might think that they look cool, but I'd try to wear clothes that will look rather new. 
This is kinda irrelevant, but I just feel like I should share this. I think flared pants look amazing. Especially if they have a crease ironed in them. A woman wearing flared pants with a crease ironed into them might just be one of the prettiest, most beautiful, classiest things that I can think of, & I don't even know why/how. 
Honestly, I don't even know what I'm prattling about, anymore. 
I'll just get back to faded/ripped jeans. I'll sometimes see people who you know can afford the nicest pairs of pants have jeans that you would only expect to see on a homeless person, I just don't get it. I don't understand why so many people will call it a "fashion statement," especially when it's way too popular for it to be one. I really don't know why people would buy jeans that look just like 3rd-generation hand-me-downs. 
Sorry for this trivial diatribe, I just seem to prattle about the most inconsequential stuff when I'm bored.

Hey guys! I know this is an entire sub forum dedicated to PR3R, but since it was empty, I decided to make a general thread where you can talk about general stuff that doesn't really warrant a new thread. I've also included some info below for any of you who might be out of the loop.

Backstory

After the success of PR2, Jiggmin mistakenly paired with Sparkworkz to make PR3. Jiggmin had done the art for PR1 and PR2, but an artist from Sparkworkz named Nicole Swimley did the art for PR3. Due to server lag and login issues, many people moved back to PR2 or just quit entirely. Jiggmin got married and lost interest in PR3 soon after. Sparkworkz shut down, but reached out to Jiggmin to offer full rights over his game, but since he was busy with real life, he didn't respond. About a year later, isokissa3 took the source code and revived the game under his own control. This brought many members and potential for the game to continue onwards. Later, GambitAnimating offered to help with updates and such to make the game better, and isokissa allowed it. After about 2 years of PR3R being up, isokissa was fed up with a certain subset of people, and gave me the mod role so I could help moderate the game. Since then, I've been promoted to admin, and two other mods have joined the team. Gambit, Iso, and I are all still working on some cool stuff, and we hope to see how PR3R can look like in the future.

What's New?

So, PR3R is actually adding new things! Here's all the new content and features:

- King of the Hat: New game mode where you have to hold a hat for a set amount of time to win.
- Bow: New charged weapon item that has 3 uses and lobs.
- Super Teleport: New item that allows you to teleport 3 blocks instead of 2, just like in PR2.
- Napalm: New item that sets you on fire for as long as shield. Touching other players hurts them.
- Police Hat: Adds 1 extra ammo to laser guns.
- Ushanka: Immunity to wind and ice.
- New sets: Cyborg, Dragon, Spider, Meteor, Donkey, Cheetah.
- New parts: Meme Head, PR3 Hoodie.

- Tournaments: Lobbies with room for infinite players and better prizes.
- New Rating System: Thumbs up and down, instead of a star system.
- Ability to kick and ban members from your lobby as the host.
- A ping counter.
- Ingame login system.
- More consistent water physics.

- Heart Block: Heals you in deathmatches just like in PR2.
- Reflector Blocks: Reflect bullets in a set direction.
- Weak Blocks: Slowly crumble as you stand on them.
- Glass Blocks: Weak on top, and reflector on sides.
- Code Blocks: Blocks that give you the ability to do a lot of different things, including changing damage values, referencing other blocks, checking for the players' hats, and setting variables.
- Checkpoint Blocks: Blocks that override safe blocks to make safety nets more interesting.
- Custom Stat Blocks: Change the amount of each stat that a block gives.
- Buttons and Reactor Blocks: Pressing Buttons shatters correlating Reactors.

- Editor Convenience Tools: Hold shift to place, delete, and move huge sections of a map. Copy and paste sections in the same way. Use shift to draw lines with the paint tool. Middle mouse click to select a block.
- Block Categories: Categorize your blocks to save yourself time.
- Ability to set the deathmatch starting health.
- Ability to set the vanish timer.

That's it! Stay tuned to this thread for PR3 news and events. There's also one on Acid, so check that one for things you might miss.

Just curious for the reason why it couldn't be simply jiggmin.com; does Jiggmin still own that address? Someone else own it and can't give it away? Staff decision? 
If sometime in the future, though I have no idea how this stuff works, I think it would be nice to get rid of the 2. I get that we're not the "official" JV site, but I think "jiggmin2" is less visible to old members that have no idea of this website existing.

I've decided to throw aside my good friend Gamemaker: Studio Professional this time. Sorry old pal, but I want to learn the hardcore basics of coding, real coding, with real universal languages. I understand I've used GameMaker for hundreds (yes literally) of games I've made before but It's time to try to step forward, GMX is great, and there's a lot you can do with it, but I can't seem to ever figure our the Multiplayer or the 3D. And, I don't want to pay for add-ons anymore. 

Alright guys, why post this public? Well, I know some of you know a thing or two about coding and all that neeeerd stuff. I have some experience myself, such as the time I made the card game "War" when I was very young with Python. That was the first game I ever made by my self. Yes, it is a super simple game that took me like 3 lines of code to make but hey, I was like 5. (Maybe not but the lower I make my age the more like a Genius I sound).

Has anyone here ever made a game from scratch ( No, not Scratch™ the free online tool, that's even lower down the line) but from code? This is something I really want to learn how to do, without the aid of GameMaker Drag and Drop assistance. What should I use? 

My goal in the end, which may be long to come, is to make a Multiplayer game. 
Seat belts everyone!

I've distributed a handful of game betas to our beta testers. The first game(s) should be up and running by the end of this week!

The age-old question: PC or console gaming?
