How to add Decals into Blockland Retail (works on demo version)

1. Make a .png file with 256x256 resolution. 32bit Png is recommended.
    After that, make another .png file with the same decal, but with 64x64 resolution.
2. Copy it to the following location: .../Blockland/base/data/shapes/player/decals/
    If you want a face decal, copy it to the "faces" folder instead.
    The smaller file must go to: .../Blockland/base/client/ui/avatarIcons/decal
3. Edit the File: .../Blockland/base/data/shapes/player/decal.ifl
    Edit file "face.ifl" if your decal is a face decal.
4. Add the line: decals/<name_of_decal>.png
   It must have exactly the same name of your decal.
5. Nothing else to be done. Run Blockland and go to the Avatar settings.
   There will be another decal on the list, it might not show up on it, but it is shown on your blockhead when selected. :)

Have fun with this Tutorial.  :cookieMonster:

I found out how to get a preview icon or whatever you want to call it!

It is really easy. E_net please add this to the end..no credit needed.

Just be sure to have added your decal normally using his tutorial. Then...

1.  Copy the <name of decal>.png
2.  Paste it in  Blockland/base/client/ui/avatarIcons/decal
3. Get the image and resize it to 64x64.
4. Start up Blockland and see if it works.

I did this with the RTB's Jacket 4 decal and it works yay! Maybe later I will make my own.

Thanks, I'll be updating right away. :)

Pretty easy stuff, but do other people see your home made decals?

I'm going to find out as soon as I get the activation code.
That will happen very soon. :cookieMonster:

I've asked Ephialtes and the other clients download your decals and paints.

Really?, wow that's damn impressive! :D

What? THe download system or Ephialtes being my friend?

... The download system... i guess it's impressive that you've got friends too... Good for you boyo! :D

I made a custom decal, it shows up perfectly for me, but that download system doesnt work :(.


I believe you are mistaken.

It is that if you JOIN a server with new decal..they see something they have instead of yours.

If you MAKE one and the decal is an addon(or not IDK if it has to be) then they download it and they can see it. I think.
