We've got a whole bunch of things planned for the next version for this Snow Trench Wars mod!
If you have played this before, well you better tighten up that belt of yours and get ready for some more action packed fighting!
Well, Snow Trench Wars was just an idea that popped into my mind when I was playing on Xalos' Trench Warfare back in 2010. My old friend Zax had shown me a build he was working on and I thought it would be perfect for a trench war server-then it hit me, Snow Trench Wars! The build was perfect for the name because it had a white ground and was surrounded by tall black walls and had these two courtyards separated by a tall wall inbetween a pathway.
Now there was no add-on made for it during this time, all I did was download the Team Deathmatch add-on, then modified the build a little bit and started the server; in which was a huge hit might I add.
After a few months I figured "Hey, why don't I make a mod for this for many different features?", as much as that made much demand, I didn't know much on how to code but I started on it anyways. A few months after that I made the mod and also had modified the build to be much bigger and also added vehicles-this added much happiness to people and I had to add more admins due to it.
A few years later the build transformed as the mod evolved and has now become what it is today!

How to install an add-on (including steam)If you are a steam user, your Blockland directory is in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\BlocklandIf you are not a steam user, your Blockland directory is in
C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\My Documents\BlocklandYou'll see a folder named "Add-ons" in either of these directories, you want to open that folder and save the add-on in there. After you have downloaded the add-on, it is best to restart Blockland for it to work, after you've done that you will need to set a keybind to open the interface. Just go to Options >> Controls then scroll down until you see "Snow Trench Wars GUI | Toggle GUI", double click that and then set any key(s) to it and then you're set!
Server InformationYou can find information about gameplay, client interface, administration, etc. here.
We use and will always use Bushido's T+T and Frogs Weaponry weapons because they are just suited for this and I just love them! Thanks to you Bushido.
One thing you'll notice right off the bat when joining the server and spawning is the HUD aka Heads Up Display.
This is important for gameplay-you'll notice that you can see your Dirt Block Count Bar, Armor Bar, Health Bar, EXP Bar, Rank & Level, Captured Points Count, and Money ($) Count. All this is important and is very informative based on how you play.
Another thing you'll notice is the build has changed and that there are now AI's running around trying to kill you.
Well the build is something we've wanted to completely redo for a long time. You'll notice that there are many hills and other small pieces of land in which aren't very far off the coast of the main island. There is water, in fact there will be an oxygen and body temperature mod coming soon, but not that soon. The AI was something that was supported when the build was first being made-they were implemented to help keep a low playercount from being bored and gave them a challenge.
We've removed the default teams from the gamemode and just went with optional teaming in the clan support part of the add-on. You have a few other options when creating and/or modifying a clan. Clans were meant just as a whole team itself option given to players until ideas started popping up out of nowhere when testing the first revision of Version 6 BETA 1.
Notifications are another thing you'll notice when playing the game; you'll see notifications that pop up from the bottom of the screen that will inform you of certain things that are triggered from specific things that you do. There will also be message box notifications during gameplay or just browsing through/using the GUI aka Graphic User Interface.
Once you open the GUI, you'll notice there are various options to choose from-such as being able to view different pages of the interface; one of the including the Store, your Inventory, and even seeing the server Rules, but there are more.
You'll even be able to set your own settings and such. Another thing you'll notice at the bottom of the interface is your career statistics, not all of them (at least yet) but the most important ones.
If you look off the right you'll notice that you can donate money to a player and also can create a/view clan also even Rank-Up. You won't need to push the Rank-Up button if you have the setting "Auto Rank-Up" enabled as it will increase your Rank when you reach the specified career statistic goals.
There's been a few improvements to the Reporting and Suggesting systems, you can easily make a report and/or a suggestion when using the interface-once posted, the server mod will then take into account what you had posted and notify all administrators on the server. Though of course being able to view reports and suggestions from the interface has not yet been finished, only the host can view them.
There is a Help section to the interface if you need any help or tips with gameplay. If that section doesn't do any good to you, you can always ask a server administrator.
