General Discussion / Blockland FireFox Search Engine Addition

« on: September 12, 2007, 08:02:05 AM »

Code: [Select]

<SearchPlugin xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/" xmlns:os="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<os:ShortName>Blockland</os:ShortName>

<os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.blockland.us/smf/index.php?action=search2&search={searchTerms}">
</os:Url>
</SearchPlugin>
That is what I have. This is my issue, &search={searchTerms}, if I take that out, the search engine will appear in the options to choose from in FireFox, but if I add that in, it won't display. I'm at a loss... It has to be there in order for the search to work.

Can anyone please help, or explain what I am missing? FireFox forums helped me none, no one responded, guess it was the wrong thread, but there is no thread for search engine creations.


Thanks in advance,

Modification Help / Admin/Super Accesses

« on: July 30, 2007, 12:20:43 PM »

I have a quick question in regards to Admin/Super Accesses/Permissions...

Is there a way to disallow an Admin/Super to un-ban someone from my Banlist?

Or would this make it so they couldn't ban at all? I'd think you'd be able to limit the un-ban function to either host or my BL_id...


I'm not for coding, so any help would be appreciated. I'm gonna dig around the blockland files, but I don't recall anything editable as far as I can recall, so... Yeah.

Thanks,

Help / Can't Join Some Servers...

« on: July 22, 2007, 05:43:41 PM »

I'm guessing I'm the only one having this issue since I haven't seen it posted.

I received this error once last night while trying to join a server with Slezak's Windows Add-on. Kept trying to connect, but kept saying "(Failed to open file 'Add-Ons/bricks/4x1x5WindowT.blb'.)" Downloaded, and installed Slezak's Windows, connected fine.

Another issue, just now, trying to connect to a server I receive this error, "(Server is missing decal texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.PNG)." But has 4+ people connected, so must be my end.

Here the console section in regards to this issue:
"Could not locate texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.png (will attempt to download)
Unable to load texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.png for decal! - using default texture
Connection error: Server is missing decal texture: add-ons/Emotes/cookiemonster.png.
Issuing Disconnect packet."

I am unable to download Aloshi's Emotes in Text Add-on, so I cannot test to see if I can connect after installing add-on.


My question is, is there a cause for this crashing when a server has a graphic, or object that a client doesn't have? Never had those add-ons before, and connected to servers just fine. Did notice in the v7 Changelog, "Missing terrain and water textures will now be replaced with defaults if they cannot be downloaded from the server. This fixes some "Invalid Packet: 12" errors." Would this be the root of it?


Thanks,

Help / Ban List - Time Codes

« on: May 06, 2007, 05:13:46 PM »

[Edit] - Figured out how to manually add the ban... but I'm lost on what those time codes mean...

I have a 14 day ban, closed the server, got code: 204284

Used that code on the manually added entries... Now it equals like a 74561100 day ban, the minutes and seconds are cut off...

Can someone explain?

Thanks.

Help / Perm. Bans

« on: April 21, 2007, 06:26:06 PM »

I've got a question... Every time I "forever" ban someone, and restart the game, the ban list, in-game, is empty.

Also, the BANLIST.txt find, empty....

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Help / Server Hosting Issue...

« on: April 16, 2007, 07:03:21 PM »

Server is now OFFLINE.

Well this is mainly only an issue for one player, and no reports for anyone else... So I think it's just him, but here is the console log for their connection activity:

What he sees on his end is that the console is saying it couldn't find files for, Add-Ons/Shapes/50_gray and Add-Ons/Shapes/75_gray then it drops his connection.

Any idea? Would like to fix the error if it is on my end, but I don't see what would be calling for those files...

Thanks in advance,

Suggestions & Requests / Brick Save In-Game Deleter

« on: March 24, 2007, 08:59:33 PM »

Don't think this has been posted, but there needs to be something where you can easily delete a brick save in-game. Although you can easily go into ~\base\saves\ and then into any given map folder, select, and delete the save.

Music / Why Are We Posting Full Songs?

« on: February 26, 2007, 07:12:22 PM »

I Just want to raise the concern to Badspot, and everyone else.

I see everyone is uploading full length songs... Why, may I ask? If someone had this on their server and you didn't have it, would you sit though the download? Probably not, so why even bother uploading full length songs?

As you can see Badspot has no music file over 100KB (aside from "After School Special" which is 625KB). And all is of loopable playback in Blockland. Reason? Well keeps it small, and doesn't take up much room for the BL download. My point? Keep it small for download sake, keep it simple for length sake, keep is easy to listen to.

Also, I doubt Badspot has this in the forum rules, but if you're posting full length songs, available to download by another (even non-members,) that is piracy my children. It's one thing to have pieces of a song for use of a game (thats not a hug piracy issue,) but full length songs is another thing. Especially when these forums are for the retail edition of Blockland, and is being hit by a lot of guest users. It only takes one person to ruin the fun.

Thanks you, and have a

Modification Help / Tutorial: Changing Word Filters

« on: February 26, 2007, 09:39:49 AM »

If you want to add or remove the words that are filtered in your server. Go to base\config\server\prefs.cs.

Line 10: $Pref::Server::CurseList = "[Edited out for obvious reasons]";

Line 12: $Pref::Server::ETardList = " u , r , ur , wat , wut , wuts , wit , dat , loel , y ,";

Just add or remove words, separated by comas, of course.


You can also disable it in: Start A Game > Advanced Config. > Uncheck the desired filter(s).
Or in base\config\server\prefs.cs
Or do it in the console:
$Pref::Server::CurseFilter = 1;
$Pref::Server::ETardFilter = "1";

Change the 1 to a 0 to disable it.

[Edit] - Make sure your game is shut down before you edit the prefs.cs file, otherwise when you close the game it'll reset to the setting at point of game start. If you want to edit with game running, just put the commands in the game console.

Modification Help / Tutorial: Auto Admins and Super Admins - Updated

« on: February 26, 2007, 09:32:36 AM »

I don't think this has been posted yet, so I'll post it.

Open base\config\server\prefs.cs

Line 3 and 4:
$Pref::Server::AutoAdminList = " ";
$Pref::Server::AutoSuperAdminList = " ";

Within these quotations, put the BL_id of who you want to auto Admin or auto Super Admin (Separated by a single space.)

[Edit] - Make sure your game is shut down before you edit the prefs.cs file, otherwise when you close the game it'll reset to the setting at point of game start. If you want to edit with game running, just put the commands in the game console.
