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

[CheeseDragon]

I get the same thing with the decals and I'm on windows 7, the preference thing doesn't happen on mine though.

Jesus, full permissions on blockland folder, that's not the problem for sure...

Run blockland, then run this in your terminal

ps auxww | grep blockland
This should return one item.
Also, try this:
ps auxww | grep steam

This should tell me what user those two programs are running under. Basically, if that user doesn't have permission, they can't do anything. ...obviously...

Well I'm stumped. Everything is working, I guess it just isn't downloading the things? Can you try copying the files from a normal install to the steam install?

I did that and it works and all. Everytime I login it still tells me to choose my type of network. But I can customize my character perfectly again and it works ok I guess.

But there's this gay ass problem where, everytime I close BL, everything resets to default. The player, the controls, everything. It's ticking me off.

Can you put a custom prefs.cs into the config place and see if the custom preferences are applied, even if you can't save them from in-game? A workaround would be creating them externally and then importing them.

This is pissing me off.

[Lugnut]

I don't have a solution for you guys.

We've ruled out
Permission errors
User errors
Group errors
Blockland errors
There literally isn't anything else to rule out.

Try manually modifying the preferences file with a text editor. Falling that, try to install blockland into a different directory.

I guess you could chmod 777 everything and see what happens.

Kind of a silly question, but are you the administrator of your computer? I know little about computers, but I would not be surprised if that were related somehow or another. I'm having the same issue and I am not the administrator.

[Lugnut]

Shouldn't make a difference with regards to his user.

Running it as the administrator is a bad idea from a security standpoint, so I don't consider it an option.

However, op, try running blockland from an administrator account- no wait that's hard. Gotta reinstall steam for a new user... eh, not a good solution.

How do I do this?

You could find the administrator password and change the current user as administrator. That's not hard. I've done it before

How do I do this?
