Probably should've posted this under "Help".

Anyways, sadly I can't help you. It may be an issue with the add-on in question. Have you tried downloading a new copy of the Add-on from the forums? (Assuming it's here somewhere >.>)

It's because Kong has a bunch of music on his server. This issue will occur on any server that has like 5 or more songs. I know this because my Falling Tiles server has 20 songs and everyone has trouble loading the manifest when they first join.

When Badspot works on a new update he should focus on implementing a new way to add music to servers.

Do you have high latency to the server? Blockland always seems to mess up file downloads when it gets a bunch of out of order packets.

Idk if it could work, but worked for me

copy your actual cache.db and keep it somewhere else
then delete the one in your BL folder
then try joining kong server

i'm having issues with this on my own server, and i found out what was causing it. whenever i ran these two functions, the file manifest load would freeze.

Code: [Select]

function RedGateDisappear(%time)
{
	for(%i = 1; %i <= $BattleRotator::RedGateCount; %i++)
	{
		%obj = $BattleRotator::RedGate[%i];
		%obj.disappear(%time);
	}
}

function RedGateSound()
{
	for(%i = 1; %i <= $BattleRotator::RedGateCount; %i++)
	{
		%obj = $BattleRotator::RedGate[%i];
		%obj.playSound("AlarmSound");
	}
}

i have no clue why this happens; it is possibly the strangest glitch i've ever seen in a game.

it could have something to do with this, but my server is pretty damn laggy sometimes and that doesn't seem to effect anyone.
