Blockland imports are about to get way better

smallguy

I wanted to share the progress I've been making in improving the tool bls2brs. I've been adding mappings for a ton of commonly used Addons and also making existing mappings more accurate using microbricks and more careful logic for brick orientations in special cases.

improvements to default brick mappings, music bricks now use the brickadia speaker brick!

The main challenges with this kind of thing are that brick rotations in Blockland are never consistent. Even within the same Addon the bricks will sometimes be oriented differently depending on the size of the brick. There has to be a lot of trial and error and testing to get this right.

There are hundreds of bricks that will start converting in the next release so keep your eyes out! You can follow the releases at https://github.com/brickadia-community/bls2brs to get the next update.

Pirate Adventure starting to look like the real deal, the windows were a pain to model with microbricks in code!

This is what the mappings for something like the Spawn Point brick currently look like

Everything had to be considered, such as using smooth tiles to reduce lines on the top of the brick, removing collision from the transparent section and correct orientation of wedges.

This morning I got the default roads looking more like Blockland roads, with the yellow stripes in place and the white stripes sized correctly.

This is looking so sick, I used an older bls-brs to import blockland builds into brickadia back in 2019/2020 when I was starting to work on BR's Rockwell.
