My game hangs at OpenAL initialization.

This happens to me all the time, even during v20. What I do is I go to the Blockland files (for me, C:\Users\Christopher\Documents\Blockland) and the game starts.

What's goin on here? An addon? Why isn't my environment button showing?

For future reference this is caused by an old version of Admin GUI Plus which I have since updated: http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewFile.php?id=2587
Make sure you get version 3.

What do you mean? Go to it? Open it in Windows Explorer? The folder has been open since I was reading my console.log, it still does not work. It also never happened to me prior to v21.

WHAT THE forget
I set the timescale to 0.2 by saying /timescale and look what happened to my console!


Console.log says absolutely nothing about it so I didn't bother uploading it

Changing the resolution after this occurs will remedy your problem.

Run the game, and if it does that OpenAL problem, leave the console open and open up C:\Users\[YOURNAME]\Documents\Blockland in Windows Explorer and the console should continue. If and when it does you could close Windows Explorer and it should continue to run normally. I have no idea why this works but it works for me at least.

Here's a fix to a not-bug feature that everyone was looking forward to: onDay/onNight events: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=204001

Blockland works for me now and I have an Intel Graphics card, but for some reason I can't see shadows nor shaders. I tried them on all qualities but they just wouldn't show.

Shaders won't work at all on macs. Even fog won't appear...

Same here 

On topic:
For the "no light installed" console spam: It starts when any kind of light (other then the sun) is activated. I post a console log below. The spam started when I planted a ghost brick. Hope this helps.

Also before the spam part I tried activating diferent shader options. They all work, (only the shaders I think) but at the end it always skips initalizing shadows. Would someone look at what could cause this? And if intels then how could I fix it?
I want shadows arrgh

[Cookiez664]

hmm I still don't have shaders.

Wait, in my console there's that Nolight thingy that people have been talking about.

• Point lights not working even though shadows do work link - Console log would be helpful

I have the same problem and want to help. My Graphics card is form the HD 4000 series (HD 4850) and i uploaded my console.log to my dropbox. (It's because it was too big for an attachment)

When I try to start a Custom server, add-ons fail to execute properly, the Brick, Weapon and Paint GUI gets stuck, my player's HANDS gets stuck and when I try to load something, nothing happens until after a few seconds when my screen gets flooded with Runtime errors. This has been only happening to me, and I don't know what the forget is going on. This was caused by an add-on.

But still
Oh yeah, I'm also getting errors with bad, misformed URLs with the CDN and shaders errors such as:

GL_INVALID_VALUE
GL_OUT_OF_MEMORY

and I'm on a NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M GPU. What is going on?

Hello, Badspot. I also got the UninstallGLLights spam.
My console log is below here. (Really, that console spam forgets my blockland.exe):
