You need download this -User Content

Any files placed in the config/content folder will be put in base/. This allows you to make GUI edits and such, to get around the Blockland patcher.

eg. config/content/client/ui/Title.png will put in the base/ folder as base/client/ui/Title.png and when the game starts up you will see your version of Title.png.

It works by overwriting any files in the base folder with any files in the content folder, and Blockland automatically fixes it up via the patcher when it starts up so if you delete any files in the content folder and the overwritten files are still in the base folder, the Blockland patcher will fix it up automatically.

No, you don't.
You need to place the texture files in base/data/shapes, overwrite the old ones, and set them to read-only.

I knew i frogot something i need to make them read only!
Lol

There are two methods of doing this,
Either use User Content Alpha, which the creator of it personally said wasn't all that good
Or set the files to read only, which the creator of Blockland personally said it wasn't good.

IMO they both sound like terrible options so I'm sticking with default textures

There is a third method: not use launcher

His textures are really bad.

that is ridiculous


The only use I ever saw for these was they removed the white lines in dark builds. But now that has been fixed since v21, with the lines still there since they are used for specular hilighting.

Yeah, but it doesn't seem to matter at all.
I've found zero problems with this method, and my game has never looked better.

"has been fixed"... yeah okay. The default Blockland textures still look terrible on darker colours.

Looks great on the white. Not the brown.
Not so terrible, but there are white lines on the shadowed black bricks!
White lines galore

You might not see it, but that's probably just because you're so used to it.
When you've had darker textures for some time, the default ones start to look bad. Really bad. I will never go back to default textures.

No, you don't.

You know you can get banned for that right?
Badspot doesn't want people setting stuff to read only because sometimes it breaks the game, and then he gets false alarms in the help board.

However I don't have my reporting privileges anymore, either way I'm not sure that is a rule so I don't know, it could be one of those hidden ones like the "No Edgar Allen Poe" one.

I don't see any problem with making textures read-only. It's not like they could break anything.
But if your textures look all messed up after an update you know what causes it.
