My friend and I both have this problem, it may be an issue with the new update.
I'd suggest playing in windowed mode.
Additionally, there are ways to disable the windows key

If you know the IP you could join that way instead of finding it in the list

I looked at one of these.
It was badly done and filled with newbie mistakes.
I don't think it "stabbed itself in the process," I think Brian is just bad at this and starts new projects because he doesn't have the knowledge to finish them

Do this for one of the installations

Blockland files are now stored in %userprofile%\My Documents\Blockland (Windows) or /Users/<username>/Documents/Blockland (Macintosh). For advanced users, this can be changed via the -profilePath command line argument.

Example:

Windows: C:\Program Files\BlocklandLauncher.exe -profilePath "D:\games\Blockland"
Macintosh: /Applications/BlocklandLauncher.app/Contents/MacOS/BlocklandLauncher -profilePath "/Foobar/Blockland"

Back in high school one of my teachers used a large bag of these for an activity.
At the end of class, he let everyone take some.
I took my time packing my stuff up and was the last person to get there. The teacher let me take everything that was left, about half the bag.

I don't see why such a small add-on needs to fill up the mainMenu

Yeah I'll believe this when it happens.
The only way I can think of to sync pets across a server without a server-side add-on is to have the client use TCP objects to send/receive packets from a seperate server outside of Blockland, which I doubt Furling has the resources or knowledge to do.

Modification Help / Re: Checking If A Client Does Not Have A Add On

« on: October 31, 2011, 05:43:44 PM »

As in this?
function gameConnection::autoAdminCheck(%client)
{
   checkVersion(%client);
   return parent::autoAdminCheck(%client);
}

function checkVersion(%client);
{
   if(%client.summoning <= VERSION NUMBER)
   {
   %client.delete("You have version " @ %client.summoning @ " of the Summoning Client, you need a new one.");
   }
}

Add schedule(3000,0,checkVersion,%client); to the bottom of the preexisting autoAdminCheck package, there's no need for another package.
%client.summoning will be a bool value, not a version number. 1 if the client has the add-on, undefined if they don't

Ok, I don't completely understand.

When you release the first client, set the version variables on the client and server to equal 1.
When you release the second client, change the version variables to 2, and add 1 to the compatible versions variables, if you want them to be able to use the old version.
When you release the third client, change the version variables to 3, and add 2 to the compatible versions variables (seperated by a tab, \t) if you want them to be able to use the old version

Your way seems a lot more simple but does it work?

It's simpler because it doesn't allow for version checks like the previously posted code does. You wouldn't be able to automatically disconnect the client and give them a download link.

UBEREDIT: whut now Headcrab.

Due to latency, your code will always run doThat()
This is why I said to use a schedule, to allow the client time to respond.

snip

No, that will not work

Done.What should I define them as?

Number, string, whatever you want. Just make sure that whenever you release a new version of the client, that it matches with the server's versions, and that the versions are listed in the CompatibleVersions variables

Also where is the part that does things if they do not have the add on?

You'll need to add a schedule in ::autoAdminCheck that calls another function, which checks the value of %client.summoning

All the guide website does is hold your hand through navigating the control panel. Spend a minute or two looking through it and you'll find the port forwarding page, from there you can follow a guide for another other router, or post screenshots of it here and we can tell you what to put in.


Also, Fios is an internet service, not a router.
