whilst zooming out avatars is a mod, i was able to use ctrl E in the paint gui on a fresh install..?

Ctrl E is definitely default

You can hold the right mouse button down to zoom in and out, that's no mod

Make sure you're using the paint can when you press Ctrl and E, but it won't work if you've changed the keybind for scrolling backwards

Testing the zoom in and out thing now. It is not working.

Works for me.

You have to be in the appearance menu where you customize your player, then hold down the right mouse button while hovering over the preview of your player, while still holding the right mouse button down, you can move your mouse around to zoom in or out

If it doesn't work, then your game is either bugged, or you have an add-on that changes how the appearance menu works

RMB for zooming in/out, LMB for rotating.

Also, a while ago I found that there were a few more arguments for blockland:// than just join by going into Blockland.exe and finding the main.cs file embedded in it (the specific function is parseProtocol())
blockland://arg1-value/arg2-value/arg3-value/.../argn-value

gamemode-<gamemode_name> Same as -gamemode. Start a single player server with the specified game mode, or create a server with the specified game mode when used with dedicated or dedicatedLAN. In v20, this is map.
join-<ip>[_port]Join a server with the specified IP. This is the most commonly known. The port can be omitted (will use port 28000 instead).
password-<server password>    Use with join. Join a passworded server. You will be asked for a password if you omit this and try to join a passworded server.
dedicated-[anything] Same as -dedicated. Creates a dedicated server. The hyphen is required, but anything after it is not.
dedicatedLAN-[anything] Same as -dedicatedLAN. Creates a dedicated LAN server. The hyphen is required, but anything after it is not.
port-<port> Same as -port. Set the server port for dedicated and dedicatedLAN.

/magicwand gives you the destructo wand without having to go into admin menu

wtf why didnt i know this

Well, everything but movement and triggers typically use servercmds. And typing /### makes the client instead send commandtoserver('###');
So yeah, everything in the admin menu has it's own /command.
Like /clearbrickgroup ###  to clear someone's bricks by ID.



Also some other noteworthy commands:
/clearVehicles /resetVehicles - Admin only, handy for fixing/removing vehicles.
I believe bots also have the same command if you have bot holes enabled.
/cancelEvents - Not admin only, but can only be used outside of minigames. Cancels any pending events you have triggered, as well as any projectiles you have spawned via events. Helps to get out of traps in freebuilds.
/cancelAllEvents - This one is admin only, cancels ALL events in the server, including spawned projectiles, minigame or not. Handy for when someone decides to be an ass.

Crouching makes you take less fall damage (allowing you to slam into walls and hit the grounds at higher speed getting hurt instead of dying)
At the same time crouching makes you take double the amount of damage taken any other way, even events such as addhealth -x
Inside corner walls that are not single bricks allow you to glitch up them by constantly walking into the very corner of the wall and holding jump (I find staggering jump and doing it backwards works better)

You can make one way walls by turning one wall into a pearl FX then have a transparent brick on the otherside.
Man didn't you, Brickman and I fool around with this on your server back in like 2013? We were building some kind of island thing with a big wall and a raceway and just happened to come across it from my building to a billboard Brickman built? Good times.

Man there are tons of tips I did not know and I played this game for years. I think the tutorial could have done a better job tutoring.
