Help / Re: How to make good looking trees?

Says who?

Not everything has to be spelled out for you.

Building trees is one thing you can do while playing the game. I'm having difficulty doing that in a decent fashion.

Help / Re: Blockland ID already tied to Steam ID?

A'non-steam key' doesn't exist, every key can always be used on it's own without steam regardless of whether it has been used to activate a steam copy.

When I say "non-steam key" what I mean is a key that is not connected to a Steam account.
If a key is associated with a Steam account, it cannot be shared.
If a key is not associated with a Steam account, it can be shared. However:

Help / Re: I can't get my old key.

.......yes you do.

I've run tons of servers in the past, and not once has it ever asked me to give it my key.
If the copy of Blockland installed on your computer is already logged in as you using your key, it should be able to start a dedicated server without question.

I bought a key sometime in 2013, and it was attached to an account which has been deleted since I bought blockland. Now, I am on the steam version, and need my blockland key in order to host a dedicated server. Help!

I'm confused.
You had your key back in 2013 and used it to connect your Blockland account to a Steam account.
You're now trying to run a dedicated server, but you claim you need your key in order to do so?
You shouldn't need your key in order to run a dedicated server.

Belongs in modification help

no it doesn't

Well, it certainly doesn't belong in the Help section.

I'm referring to building them from bricks.

This section is for problems running the game.

But won't the key work if it's non-steam?

If the key is non-steam, it can be used by another person.

This is not true.
I used to share my key with my younger brother since my parents refused to buy him his own account when we could just use the same one.
It caused confusion between us and other players, but we could actually be playing the game, and even be on the same server, at the same time.

Sorry, now that I think about, since we're in the same house, we had the same IP and there was no way to prevent both of us from using it at one time.

He isn't sharing it, hes giving it to him since no longer plays.

sharing keys is revokeable

It doesn't matter how you word it, it still falls under the category "sharing your key".
But it doesn't matter anyways, Blockland Keys tied to Steam accounts cannot be shared.

only one can play at a time

This is not true.

Loads fine for me.
Try disabling all add-ons except for the ones required for the build to load.

Honestly, it looks like Slayer is causing the loop, but I can't be certain since I've never used it.

(I cant see dedi server on list though)

You're server will only appear on the list if:
1. You've forwarded your ports.
2. You hit "Query LAN" before attempting to join.

This could be a shaders thing
If you have shaders set to a low enough setting, it will make things that aren't lit by the sun darker without producing an actual shadow.

Help / Re: Framerate Issues...

« on: October 20, 2015, 08:20:07 AM »

Dang.I still dont understand how this games very simple graphics can lag even on this.

The problem with sandbox games is that the CPU has to render every single block that is within you're field of view.
For example, let's say you have a wall of blocks and behind that wall you have another block. When you look a the wall, you can't see the block behind the wall, but your CPU still renders it since it's within your field of vision.
Minecraft does a better job of fixing this issue, but still isn't perfect.

Help / Re: Where is the banlist.txt file in Steam Blockland installations?

« on: October 16, 2015, 11:35:41 AM »

(I use Steam)

Both Steam and non-Steam Blockland installations use the same file hierarchy.
Files on a Steam installation can be found in the same location as in a non-Steam installation.

banlist.txt does exist, however auto admins are stored in prefs.cs, not adminlist.txt.
Both banlist.txt and prefs.cs can be found in <location of steam games>\Blockland\config\server.

Help / Re: Best CITY RPG Add on 2015?

« on: October 14, 2015, 04:48:27 PM »

Aoiki's has a backdoor?

For some reason, CityRPGs are notorious for having back doors.
Every CityRPG on these forums either has a back door or is a piece of stuff (at the very least, I've never found one myself that didn't apply to at least one of those two categories).
If I were you, I'd either make my own or keep an eye on Kyuande's.
