that limit might be why the customizable vehicles gets an invalid packet :o?

Nope. The "limit" is actually just a TorqueScript variable.

Custom TML Parser, v2

It now supports (or, in the case of default features, improves on) ordered and unordered lists, nested lists, bold, italics, headings, colors, format nesting, and more.

You can easily add or change functionality! Example
You can also use it for things completely unrelated to fancy text: Example
Parse text according to multiple definitions! Example

You can simply disconnect and then rejoin the server, or wait to be respawned.

Which is why you don't tell them to delete files.

I have a 100% success rate from that. It works much better than yelling and calling them idiots... *cough cough

This happens when the server deletes your player object. What server were you on?

You don't really need to do this. There are better methods, he could try first. Like:
- Checking if the installer is being run as administrator. (Maybe he had insufficient permissions to access that file?)

If nothing else helps, then yeah, do what Master Blaster said.

-Cajetan.

Actually, telling them to delete the file is normally the best response because it almost always fixes the problem and is very straightforward for even novice computer users to do. You have to remember that many of the people asking for help here are young or have no idea what they're doing.

General Discussion / Re: How to make a Dedicated Server

« on: October 27, 2013, 10:42:54 PM »

This is my cut-and-paste tutorial that I give everybody in the Help forum:

Quote

Creating a Dedicated Server (for Windows)

First, make a copy of your Blockland shortcut. Then right click on the new copy of the shortcut and go to Properties. Click the Shortcut tab.

The target field will look something like this:
Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe"
To make this launch a dedicated server, add the -dedicated parameter to the end. It should now look like this:
Code: [Select]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Blockland\BlocklandLauncher.exe" -dedicated
You can now launch the server using that shortcut, but I recommend that you read below first.

(Optional) If you wish to start a specific game mode, add the -gamemode Name_of_GameMode parameter to the end of the target. If you don't do this, the server will default to the standard/custom mode. (which allows you to set your own add-ons and customize everything)

(Optional, but recommended) Set your dedicated server to use its own directory. (if you don't do this, it will use your current BL directory) Add this parameter to the end of your shortcut's target: -profilePath "C:\path\to\server folder"

Setting Up Your Server

Before you perform these steps, you should start your server at least once and then close it - doing so will create the pref files for you to edit. Note, these steps should be performed while the server is closed.

To change server settings, open the file called "prefs.cs" in the "config/server" folder.

To change which add-ons are enabled, open the file called "ADD_ON_LIST.cs" in the "config/server" folder. A 1 next to an add-on indicates it is enabled while a -1 indicates it is disabled.

To install new add-ons, simply place them in the add-ons folder.

Shutting Down Your Server

This might seem trivial, but most people don't know how to do this properly.

To shut down your server, enter quit(); in the server console.
