Can't customize my player correctly and other issues after BL on steam

[Zay]

So yeah I redeemed my authentication code on Blockland on steam, and I started it up and all. I've been having a few problems where every time I get out of a server, this always pops up:


I understood at first but it literally happens every time I start up BL, and every time I leave a server. After I apply the default controls this pops up too:


I tried experimenting by moving the files and all but none of that really worked, it still keeps popping up and my controls keep getting reseted.
Also I can't customize my player. I go to the player menu and the player appears without a face decal, and whenever I try to edit it the decals don't pop up, I can only change his color.


So yeah I seriously need help with this. If anybody can give me suggestions on what to do or know how to solve the problem, I'd appreciate it.

I don't think you're supposed to enter a key when you get the Blockland version of steam. Also have to enabled the "Disable Steam" in options?

post console.log
looks like you're on mac? that would be handy to mention.

 I tried doing the disable steam thing that Generation said, but that didn't really do anything.

I don't think you're supposed to enter a key when you get the Blockland version of steam. Also have you enabled the "Disable Steam" in options?

[Generation]

Messed up sorry.

[Lugnut]

open a terminal. it's in the all apps > utilities thing, or search for it, i don't remember how macs work.

1: open a terminal
2: type this in (feel free to copy paste, but you need to right click to paste)

Code: [Select]

cd "/Users/nathaniel/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Blockland"3: type this in

Code: [Select]

ls -l
post the output here. i'm particularly interested in the first bit which should look similar to this: -r--r--r-- or this -r-xr--r--

sorry, the purpose of the cd command was to jump to the blockland directory

it looks like you have a > in at the start of the command. can you remove that and try again?

wait, why do you have .bat files? this is a mac..?

run the cd command and just leave that window open, we'll be using it a bit.

can you run chmod 755 -R config/* cache.db please? this will attempt to set permissions on the files in config to be writeable.
wait, no, run this instead: chmod 765 -R * this will make all files in the blockland directory writeable by your user (nathaniel) and group (staff)
try testing config. if it doesn't work, before closing blockland, run ls -l again.

i see the group of staff. do you have administrative permissions on this computer? not neccesary, just worth noting.


PS: no pressure, you're just helping me create a solution for all mac users.

This is all that it says when I try to run that command. I also went into the steam files and the client  and server folders inside config are completely empty

is that supposed to be like that?
