Author Topic: [HOW TO] Use XFire in Blockland  (Read 4578 times)

There are a couple ways to do this.

First way.

1) Go to XFire Plus Downloads > Custom Game Support

2) Extract to any folder on your hard drive. Run it, sometimes you might get an error saying so and so and that hitting file and register will fix it. If you get that error please hit File > Register on the program.

3) Hit Games > Add new games, this will bring up your Internet Browser (Firefox ftw) and will have a list of games, go down to Blockland, hit Download. It may ask you if you want to open xfcgsg.exe to run this command hit Launch application. It will then download and install in your xfcgsg.exe.

4.) Installing the game support is finished close the xfcgsg.exe application, open your XFire, go to Tools > Options >Games. It may already be in your Installed games, if not, go to Not-Installed then go down on the list until you find it. Hit "Game Installed" hit browse, and find your Blockland Retail or just Regular Blockland folder, and hit apply. Close options. Now you're ready to use XFire PM's ingame. (NOTE: This doesn't have Launcher, or joining support.)


Or the second way.

1) Go to your xfire directory. Open xfire_games.ini with Notepad.

2) Scroll to the bottom. Insert this code...

Code: [Select]
[1049]
LongName=Blockland
ShortName=bl
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blockland\0002
LauncherDirTruncAt=blockland.exe
LauncherExe=blockland.exe
ServerStatusType=Blockland
InGameRenderer=OGL

3) Save, open your XFire, go to Tools >  Options > Games. It may already be in your Installed games, if not, go to Not-Installed then go down on the list until you find it. Hit "Game Installed" hit browse, and find your Blockland Retail or just Regular Blockland folder, and hit apply. Close options. Now you're ready to use XFire PM's ingame. (NOTE: This doesn't have Launcher, or joining support.)

Any GOOD questions, please read thorougly before asking questions.

You have to do this everytime XFire updates, which is a hassle.

Sorry to bump, but it didn't work, Blockland nor Retail Blockland show up on installed, and not installed list, i added

[1049]
LongName=Blockland
ShortName=bl
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blockland\0002
LauncherDirTruncAt=blockland.exe
LauncherExe=blockland.exe
ServerStatusType=Blockland
InGameRenderer=OGL at the very bottom like you said, but it didn't work, my retail blockland.exe file directory is "Local Disk (C:)\Program Files\Blockland", not what ever location you put in :/

Not sure if you even READ the post but it worked fine for me

I did it the second way since the first way has a link that doesn't exist no more

Sorry but this is only a 2, 3 or 4 month bump, but i need help, i got down Blockland and RTB, but they don't launch after i click them, why?

Code: [Select]
[5062]
LongName=Blockland
ShortName=bl
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blockland\0002
LauncherDirTruncAt=blockland.exe
LauncherExe=blockland.exe
ServerStatusType=Blockland
InGameRenderer=OGL

Code: [Select]
[5063]
LongName=Return To Blockland
ShortName=rtb
LauncherDirKey=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ReturntoBlockland
LauncherDirTruncAt=playrtb.bat
LauncherExe=playrtb.bat
ServerStatusType=Return To Blockland
InGameRenderer=OGL

O_o I'm looking all around the link in the main post....the only thing that COULD be a download is the Get button and when I click it nothing happens. I copied the link it has and pasted it into url box and it still didn't do anything :/ it says "request" in the url... Meh, I did this manually...although it won't add....I did it manually before and it worked....

Don't we have to add this every time Xfire gets updated, You should add that.

I didn't need to get Xfire plus, i got normal Xfire, it works in Blockland, not Return to blockland though

i did too but i used in retail


The code should work in Retail and/or any blockland 0002 mods. Since it all runs from the same .exe. (mods not retail)

This only allows you to chat in-game, this does NOT log your hours nor does it launch from XFire, or server abilities.

Wow, your still around Venom?

I thought you were making Jackass movies in Retail Blockland or something, what happened?
