Author Topic: Add-On Not Appearing (Does this belong here or in Help?)  (Read 2126 times)

I made a small script (Does math in console (me so smarty!1!11)), but when I start a single-player server, the add-on doesn't show up. I open the console and scroll up to see if my script is in the loaded add-ons list thing, but it's not there. I already have a description.txt and a client.cs, and I don't think it needs to be a .zip file. Anybody know how to fix it?

It needs to be in a .zip

It needs to be in a .zip
I'll try that. Locking for now.
Nope, still not working.

If it is client sided, then it will not execute when you start a server.  It will execute when you start the game.  Check the console before starting a server.

Also no it does not need to be in a .zip file omg stop telling people that

If it is client sided, then it will not execute when you start a server.  It will execute when you start the game.  Check the console before starting a server.
Nope, still not loading.

put the .cs in the add-ons folder, then start up the game and type this into the console:
exec("add-ons/(enter filename here).cs");

put the .cs in the add-ons folder, then start up the game and type this into the console:
exec("add-ons/(enter filename here).cs");
Can't have .cs files in root add-on directory.

Can't have .cs files in root add-on directory.
He mean't exec("add-ons/Client_YOUR_ADD_ON_NAME_HERE/client.cs");

What's the name of the add-on, and can you post what's inside the namecheck file?
If these don't match up, it won't execute. Also, add-on's with ()'s don't execute, because they are seen as copies of an add-on.

What's the name of the add-on, and can you post what's inside the namecheck file?
Namecheck isn't needed, and is entirely pointless for a practice add-on that won't be released

A few things to do:
Make sure your description.txt and client.cs are correctly spelled.
Make sure your client.cs is actually client.cs, and not client.cs.txt
Make sure the two files are in a subfolder in the add-ons folder
Make sure the subfolder follows the broad naming requirement (Category_Name)
Did you put it in the Blockland folder in My Documents?
Check the console for errors related to your add-on - Either look through the console in-game, or close the game open the console.log file and ctrl+f for your add-on name

Why dont you post the add-oon lol

Did you put it in the Blockland folder in My Documents?
Should it be there? I put my folder in the Local Disk.

Should it be there? I put my folder in the Local Disk.
As of v20, yes it should, unless you specifically tell the launcher otherwise

Tried all of above, still not loading.
