What is "CHECKING CDN FOR 1 FILE"

It says that every time I try to go into a server. :/

It checks the CDN for the file manifest.  It should either download it from there or proceed to download it from the server.

Alright. What'd I do.

HERES WHAT I DID (I have mac so no autoupdate for me);

1: I installed V18.
2: I copied (Command/Control C) ALL my addons from v17.
3: Pasted them into v18 addons folder, selected Don't Replace (for the default ones)
4: Copypasted my Config folder.
5: Copypasted my Base < Client folder (Some custom cursers and junk)
6: Copy/Pasted Saves file, selected Replace.
7: This appears...
WHAT'D I DO?

AGAIN?!!

You are running the v18 scripts with the v17 executable or vice versa.  Do not copy the executable or base directories from one version to another.

I keep getting random freezes during game WTF.

"Regenerating File manifest"

The first time you run each map, it will take time to hash all of the files.  After that it should speed up

Then a bunch of bullstuff spam in the console.\

Elaborate on "bullstuff spam".  I cannot read your mind. 

Escape menu opens outside of a server

Known issue.  Will be fixed.

Music loops larger than 1mb are not added to the music list (D:<)

Oh darn, you can't force people to download your entire music collection converted to .ogg.

The "faster" cache system makes blockland take about 8 times as long to start up

The cache is rebuilt the first time you start a game, it should not happen again. 

I can no longer run two different blockland windows at once

If you really have to do this, install the game to two different locations.

I cannot access the files I have downloaded from connecting to other servers for my own uses

Good.

snapshotGameAssets function crashes Blockland.

Elaborate.  Is there a message? In what circumstance does this happen.  Provide information.  Learn to communicate.

And this:

That is your computer being broken by security software or windows file permissions.

I found out make build cache load quick. I created new folder name anything (I create name it back up addon) to desktop then I open the blockland folder, I grab Add on a folder and drag to new folder. then I start blockland, I saw it were very quick load. then I closed Blockland. I did take add on folder back to blockland folder, It worked for me.

This is just robbing peter to pay paul.  stuff has to go into your cache eventually, and by making an empty cache.db file you'll have to download everything.

Known issues with V18

• Escape button does not work the same as it used to.  - I added it to global action map by mistake.
  
• Can't run dedicated server and client out of the same folder anymore - due to cache.db file being locked
  
• Window may become unresponsive during "Building Cache Database" phase - this can be exacerbated if you have a very large add-ons folder.
  
• Macintosh version may place cache.db directly on the hard disk rather than in the Blockland folder - you may or may not have permission to place files there so the mac version may not work.  The bug does not happen every time.  I am investigating.

It seems that you can no longer start a dedicated server and a client in the same copy of Blockland.

Yeah cause the cache database is locked.

interesting, my main copy of BL froze on building the cache database, but after a good long while it the bar starts loading, and the pictures run through the whole thing :D

Oh yeah, building the cache database can freeze for quite some time.  Is that what is happening to people or are you getting an actual crash?

@Everyone having write permission errors:
The patch needs to write to the disk.  Normal computers allow this.  If you have installed some cracked out security software that breaks normal functionality of your computer, it is your responsibility to operate it.  Also, do not run the patch or install v18 while running Blockland.

I restarted it a few times in the process of figuring out and I eventually got through it.

Don't suppose you can zip your entire blockland folder and send it to me?

I crash on "Building Cache Database"

If you could run blockland.exe -trace and then send me a console log that would be helpful.

No it will not steal your private mods any more than people connecting to your server already does.  Please learn the difference between scripts and art files.

so you're telling me I can make a file called weapon_carrot and fill it with extremely high-poly models of carrots, and it'll download really really fast to other people with this magic cache thing?

..I don't think I understand this at all

You can already do that you douche.  It just takes forever for people to download it.  You're all loving handicapped.  I'm not explaining anything else.
