Author Topic: I wish people would learn how to install thing properly.  (Read 4307 times)

I don't like downloading mods i already have but in stupid directories.

Like:
add-ons/add-ons/shapes/lol.dts
add-ons/data/shapes/lol.dts

Instead of simple add-ons/shapes.

It's annoying.

Discuss.

I agree, Basicly the only people that does that is that guy from RedCo.

The Drag racer has files like /addons/shapes/addons/shapes/addons/shapes
And then missing texture files which give a few errors

Its the same with the Wii Mote Most of his mods actualy, Ive stopped downloading them because im annoyed with them and i dont want to fix them myself

yeah that redco stuff is terrible. 

Easily the worst so far, Im pretty sure they are fail worthy if not already failed

I think i have about 3 copy's of that hoverboard.


Its Nasa's server. He installs them in the last thing he installed so you get super long folders. Thats why i never Go to his server.

I got one like this:

Add-Ons/shapes/add-ons/shapes/add-ons/shapes/file.dts

I have 3 like that.

Also, i just discovered this: (Seriously, i took me like a minute to get to the end :( )
C:\Program Files\Blockland\Add-Ons\Shapes\Add-Ons\shapes\Add-Ons\Client\Add-Ons\shapes\Add-Ons\shapes\Add-Ons\shapes\Add-ons\Add-Ons\Client\add-ons\shapes\Add-Ons\Client\Add-ons\shapes


This is getting ridiculous.

I have 7 copies of the drag racer.

handicaps who don't know how to install mods. I swear to god I'm tired of the stuff you get pilled up in your folders because ether the Server Admin is handicapped or the Add-on didn't come with a simple install so9 the handicapped admin screws it up!.

I got tons of particles, and such all over my add-ons folder.

Badspot should make an organizer for his next update. Mabey it could detect add-ons, and place them were they should go for everyone.

People just need to learn how to .zip properly, and actually open up their zip before releasing it.
I always test the things I released so far (song loops) by zipping then, than checking the zip for error.
If we could get them in the habit of doing that, and the problems should stop.

People do know how to zip properly, just the people that install them don't know that the add-ons folder in the zip doesn't go in your already existing add-ons folder. It goes in the blockland folder and you replace the add-ons folder. Sigh.

But than doesn't that mean that you are unzipping it incorrectly?
For example, @ Satan:
You said you got Add-Ons/shapes/add-ons/shapes/add-ons/shapes/file.dts
So doesn't that mean that you unzipped it into your addons folder, which already had another one in it, probably from a previous attempt to unzip something, and than you unzipped it in there.
So wouldn't the problem here be with people not knowing where to unzip things?
The posts here sort of mislead the whole topic.

Should put a check into 1.4 to see if people have them installed in the main folder and not in addons/addons/addons/addons/addons/addons/addons/vehicles/lol
