What I'd really want is a way to access the forums or a built in browser or something that would be nice.
Anyways,
Good job and somehow the event cook book won't work for me it just bugs and I can't click anything but the return button.

Do you have Internet Explorer 6 or above? :u

To clear up the C:\Program Files (x86)\ issue:
The majority of computers out there either run 32-bit (can use up to 3GB of RAM efficiently) or 64-bit (can use up to 8GB of RAM efficiently) operating systems.
32bit applications can run on 64bit machines, but 64bit applications cannot run on 32bit machines.

In 64bit installations of Windows, 32bit applications are stored in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder instead of C:\Program Files\, which is for native 64bit applications.

x86 = 32bit
x64 = 64bit

I'm pretty sure that there's no 64bit version of Blockland, so it will be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\. 64bit vs 32bit is a different version of the operating system. I think certain computers can only handle 32bit, 64bit, 16bit or whatever.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong there (or anywhere).

Internet Explorer
Why would you use Internet Explorer in the first place?

I think 32 bit goes in the regular program folder. Besides, you can choose where a program is installed anyways.

And Internet Explore is for the people who don't use Firefox.

Update 1.1 has been released.

Users can update it with the MD updater app or download a fresh copy. If you have been experiencing external definition errors, I recommend a clean installation of 1.1 and not an update from 1.0.

I just saw. How cool! Can't wait to download.

EDIT: I can't click proceed. I filled in all the infromation, but it is still greyed out. Why?

Yey, the pixel problem in The Clan Plan is fixed :D

Took about 30 seconds to download compared to Sheath's 5 minutes  :cookieMonster:

The are little grey circle bricks next to the edit buttons. At the bottom it states you must "tick" these circles to proceed. Its like a checkbox.

It's fairly new, it seems.

Blockland uses a custom installer and seems to install itself into Program Files (as it was probably created in the days when 64bit was rare), whereas a newer installer (or maybe an .msi) would install into Program Files (x86) because that's where 32bit applications on 64bit systems seem to belong.

Why do I seem to be arguing with you over this? This is pointless. :cookieMonster:

And Internet Explore is for the people who don't use brains.
fixed

I have extracted the folder, and it worked before

but now its giving me the external function error again. :C

Are you running version 1.1? That should self extract all the DLLs. If you continue to get the problem, please do the following and report your experience.

1.  Launch AfterBlock
2.  When the window appears with the logo, press Control and D at the same time on your keyboard (before it welcomes you)!
3.  The debugger will appear, under the "diagnoses" tab press the execute button next to "Check DLL bank" and "Check file structure"
4.  If you are missing any DLLs, fix them by executing the repair feature below the diagnoses for the appropriate DLL
5.  Run the check again and report back

Luckly for me, I'm not having these errors, so I'll be using the updater.

True, it is. Anyways, it doesn't matter too much since Blockland now lets you install it anywhere you set it too. I have it to install straight into my C Drive.

ADD: The {MD} updater failed to download the newest version.

Ehh, just you it seems.

I wonder why... Anyways, I'm going to send you a PM now. Take a look at it.

Could be the BuB server experiencing a difficulty, your Internet blipping, read and write permission failure... you'll need to manually download the latest version if you want it reinstalled. But luckily all you need from it is the .exe.
