Author Topic: I can't use custom particles or stud textures.  (Read 1681 times)

I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or not but it's slightly irritating me. In V19 I was able to have custom stud textures and particles and everyone on my server was able to see it as long as they had textures enabled when downloading. But now when I try replacing textures with another it reverts back default. I had lego style studs and blood particles and they keep reverting back to default.

Custom studs and particles worked server side in v19, I'm not sure why it was removed in v20. Unless there is some option to make this all possible?

It is possible.

Make the stud texture or whatever read only, the blockland launcher replaces things.  If you make it read only it can't replace anything.


However we shouldn't have to do that.

In this thread http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=172522.0 you are not able to run the game.  Did you fix that?  What was the problem?

I didn't realize I was trying to start Blockland up with a DED. The two don't go together for some reason but Blockland alone works for some reason.

What were you running exactly?

Well when I downloaded V20 it came with two new shortcuts "Blockland Dedicated Server" and "Blockland Dedicated Lan Server" and I clicked "Blockland Dedicated Server" so then after when the EXE said it started the server in map_skylands I went to start up normal Blockland and it gave me the sqlite error.

As for any other programs I only had steam running in the background, I can turn it off and check again but I think it will give the same results.



Unless you meant system, I am running Windows XP.

The textures go into the same place they were before, right?

Well, that diddnt work at all.. I still have default Brick Textures.

You cannot overwrite the default files.  For particle effects or gui textures, you should replace them via an add-on.  For brick textures you will have to wait for this feature to be implemented officially.

Shoot, how long will that be? I cant stand the white edges.
But really, the default textures shouldn't have the light areas that glow..

Well I just made the custom brick textures and particles as "read only" and they show up on my server now. I'm not sure if others can see it yet.

Where did you place the files? In the same place where the old textures were kept?
I did the same thing changing my texture edits into read only's and they did not show up in game.

Same place as always, in their respected folders.
