Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

What is this?

A Multi-Brick legacy server written from the ground up in Node.js. (Custom Build by Malte0621)

What is the difference?

The difference between this and the normal node-hill is the fact that this custom build has featrues that does not exists in the normal node-hill nor client.

Current custom-build features:

  • Sounds
  • Full XYZ rotation axis support (This means your maps CAN to follow the new brk format., replace +ROT with +ROT 0,0,)
  • Replicated physics (WIP)
  • GUIs
  • Materials (This means your maps CAN to follow the new brk tag., +MAT . Example: +MAT bricks)
  • Decals (textures) (This means your maps CAN to follow the new brk tag., +DECAL . Example: +DECAL https://example.com/texture.png)
  • Tweens (tweening) - for bricks
  • Sitting
  • Climbing
  • Emotes (WIP)
  • Videos

What does this do?

It allows you to host Multi-Brick servers efficiently, and headlessly (VPS hosting, etc). It comes with a fully-packed scripting API that lets you do things the legacy server normally couldn't do.

It can load .brk files to the client extremely fast, but at the same time being memory and CPU efficient. Allowing for long-term 24/7 hour hosting.

What does this NOT do?

This does not provide any additional functionality to the legacy client.

ie. The client will not gain any FPS improvements.

Automatic Client Installation:

Download the client installer/uninstaller from here, then run it as admin and click the big install button.

MANUAL Client Installation:

  1. Download the auto updater / launcher from here and download the required sound dll from here.

  2. Put the sound dll in %appdata%\Multi-Brick\ and put the launcher in C:\Program Files (x86)\Multi-Brick, make sure to rename the old one first. (Do not replace old one, use it as a backup.)

  3. Now simply join a game that runs my server. (or if still working, other servers too.)

Errors and fixes:

Error defining an external function. : Restarting your computer usually fixes this. (It is a dll load error caused by windows.) Error defining an external function. : Could also be caused by a windows issue that doesn't fix when you reboot, if that's the case. Make a directory in %appdata%\Multi-Brick call it overrides and create a file called nosounds (or download the file here and put it in the overrides folder. (Or uninstall the client .-., and reutrn to normal bh.. :/)

Installation:

  1. Download Node.js 8 or above at https://nodejs.org/en/download/

  2. Download and extract the template here.

  3. Open the extracted folder in the file explorer, and in the top bar type "cmd" and press enter.

  4. Install node-hill-mbrickplayer using the command node-hill-mbrickplayer@latest in cmd/terminal (make sure your're in the template folder with cmd/terminal.), as this will install the needed dependencies for node-hill to function.

  5. Edit the start.js file to fill in your appropriate server information.
    You will need to add your host key for the set you want to host. This can be found under the set's settings page.

  6. Finally, start your server by launching launch_server.bat or by running node ./start.js.

Additional information

You must port forward if you want other players to be able to play your game. The recommended port for Multi-Brick is: 42480.

You are able to bundle your map/scripts into a single .bbrk file by launching your server with the --bundle option.

For example: node .\start.js --bundle

For more information on bundling check out nh-bundle.
