Blockland On full screen NOT WORKING?

[Mrmii21]

So, I tried to play blockland today, and I thought I could fix my long-unsolved "not-working-fullscreen" problem. I couldn't, because this time, it WORSENED. When BL started up, I saw the usual message on my monitor: "Out of range". But then I heard my computer's error sound. I tried pressing all sorts of buttons, and I'm honestly not sure which button is the default button to toggle fullscreen. Pressing my keyboard's start button didn't seem to work, and neither did ctrl+alt+delete. So I had no choice- I had to hold my power button. When I started it back up, I went to these forums, posted this thread, and now, well, here you are reading it. Please help!

Additional Info:
My computer is running Windows 7, and has an AWESOME graphics card.
My monitor is some sort of kind from LG.
...Yeah, I'm not familiar with ways of identifying computer components.
and, this started happening when I first got my current computer.
I DO have rtb, plus a LOT of addons.

Anyone who helps gets

Out of range mean the resolution is no supported by your monitor, so manually change it in the preferences file.

What's a preferences file, where can I find it, and how do I edit it...?

A preferences holds information on how to run the game, you can find it in your blockland folder (which directory inside there I don't know ATM), and you can edit it by opening it up with notepad.

Well, I'm gonna need a location, sorry. Thanks anyway.

I have more info! I found a console log, and here's what it said:

you could open the BL folder and look for obvious things
kind of like
blockland\config\client\prefs.cs
i'll break it down for you
all files for game\files to configure the game to what you want\client or server, you are the client\the file

first, what is your screen resulution.

Try manually editing your prefs.cs. Go to your Documents directory, and open the Blockland directory. Once you're there, navigate to config, then client, and open prefs.cs in your text editor of choice (e.g. notepad).

Look for a line that looks like this:

Code: [Select]

$pref::Video::fullScreen = "0";
and change it to this:

Code: [Select]

$pref::Video::fullScreen = "1";
Now, look for a line that starts with this:

Code: [Select]

$pref::Video::resolution = "[some numbers should be here]";
And edit it so it looks like this:

Code: [Select]

$pref::Video::resolution = "1024 768 32 60";
Save the file, close it, run Blockland, report back.

BTW the button for toggling fullscreen/windowed mode in practically anything is Alt+Enter.

Well, The fullscreen thing was already at 1.
And the numbers for resolution were "1024 768 32 75", so I only had to change the last number to 60.
I'll try it now...

Well, Apparently, I didn't need to do that stuff. I presses alt+enter and got the screen to minimize, and I set some settings, and bam! done!
