Not sure how to make custom blocks

[SuperSuit12]

I want to make custom blocks.
How do I get started? I've seen a few tutorials that seem to be about addons or weapons, or all the pictures are replaced with ads.
(I mean blocks like the prison bars or the grating. Not just regular bricks, those are like, generated by a script or something and you give it dimensions.)

C'mon, it's not that hard to point me at a good tutorial or tell me a tool to use, is it?

Apparently it is.

There are some good tutorials in the stickied posts in this board and Modification Discussion

I'm no authority on making anything for this game, but I think you have to model the brick, then assign dimensions to the collision box around the model.

Of course, if all of the images in the stickied tutorials are replaced by iTunes gift card ads or whatever, then maybe it's time someone made tutorials that have a quality image host that won't replace images and screw over people who got here after the images were replaced

Keep in mind that General Modification Help is probably the slowest board in the entire forums.

Found the OBJ2BLB converter through the search function, looking at that.
So, apparently, special collision is done with .dts files, and it doesn't make those. How do I get something that makes those, or how do I make them using notepad or something?
Found the blender .dts exporter thingy! Yay for me, I am slightly competent at navigating the interwebz!

Okay, I have all the manditory files... But my add-on isn't showing up in the list. Blockland Glass shows it as red in its list, and it never shows up in the Custom list, with or without BLG.
