Author Topic: My custom print not working  (Read 1025 times)

Okay, I was trying to make a map of my mall, so I took a screenshot from above the whole load. Then I used GIMP to separate that screenshot into six 512x512 .png images for the actual prints. Then I used those images to make six 64x64 png images for the icons. I made a .zip file named Print_1x1_Mall and, inside it, I put two folders. Here are the folders and their contents:


Inside the Print_1x1_Mall .zip file:



Inside the "prints" folder:



Inside the "icons" folder:




Please explain to me what I did wrong. I even put it in the virtualstore>programs>blockland>addons folder and it still won't show up in my list of add-ons in the "enable add-ons" menu when I click start server. Is there anything I missed? Please respond.


Why did you bump?

It wasn't even a minute after you posted!


I took a quick look at your pictures and almost immediately I could see things that were missing and/or not formatted correctly. Below I will give a very detailed explanation of what you need.

Inside your Print_1x1_Mall you should have 5 things. The first item that you want is your description. You are able to do this with notepad.

description.txt
Code: [Select]
Title: 1x1 Brick Mall Prints

1x1 brick prints for a mall

Once you entered the code above into a blank notepad, save that notepad as description.txt in your Print_1x1_Mall folder.

Next is your "icons" folder. Inside this folder you need to have your images saved as a .png set to 512x512 px. Once you have done that, rename your images to the titles in the code below.

Code: [Select]
mall_bottomleft.png
mall_bottomright.png
mall_topbottom.png
mall_topmiddle.png
mall_upperleft.png
mall_upperright.png


You should be all set with your "icons" folder.

Next item you need is your "namecheck.txt" Open a new notepad and enter...

namecheck.txt
Code: [Select]
Print_1x1_Mall
Save it as "namecheck.txt" and place it into your Print_1x1_Mall folder.

Next is your "prints" folder. In this folder you include the same images with the same titles as the icons folder. Only you make them 64x64 px.

The last item you need is your server.cs. Open a new notepad entry and type the code below.

server.cs
Code: [Select]
//do nothing - print loading is handled automatically
Save that notepad as server.cs in your Print_1x1_Mall folder.

Compress this folder into a .zip and place that .zip into your add-ons folder.

Your done! :)

Thanks for the help!

Obviously I was missing some things... but at least I can do it now :D

This is why you go to the faces, decals, and prints section and look at the "how to package faces, decals, and prints" thread that is stickied to the very top.
