Hahah this is the message it sends you when there is an update, there hasn't been one since everyone got it so this message isn't normal for you guys. Aware tricked you all by posting a fake picture of it asking for your key, thinking Ravencroft was joking.

Everything is fine.

forgetin Aware you fooled all of us.

[Aware]

Well forgive me for not taking Ravencroft of all people seriously.

I'm checking through the file right now, and it says this in the code:

Code: [Select]

MessageBoxYesNo("New Version Available", "There is a new version of Blockland Plus available. Do you want to download it?", "BlocklandPlusCheckUpdate(1,\"" @ %url @ "\");", "canvas.popdialog(BlocklandPlusUpdaterGUI);");
Which is strange, since the update message we're seeing is far different and more malicious in intent.

On another note if you actually look through the code, there is no posting function what so ever. This add-on DOES NOT upload ANYTHING at all. It only sends about 20 Get requests, which for those of you who don't know, just downloads stuff. And the updater does this:

Code: [Select]

if(isWriteableFilename("Add-Ons/System_BlocklandPlus.zip") && isWriteableFilename("config/client/DownloadedGUIS/cache/System_BlocklandPlus.zip"))
{
%this.saveBufferToFile("config/client/DownloadedGUIS/cache/System_BlocklandPlus.zip");
fileCopy("config/client/DownloadedGUIS/cache/System_BlocklandPlus.zip", "Add-Ons/System_BlocklandPlus.zip");
fileDelete("config/client/DownloadedGUIS/cache/System_BlocklandPlus.zip");
messageBoxOkCancel("Download Complete", "Blockland must now shut down to finish the Blockland Plus installation.", "quit();", "canvas.popdialog(BlocklandPlusUpdaterGUI);");
}
else
{
messageBoxOk("Error", "A required file for this update is Read-Only. Cannot Finish installation.");
canvas.popdialog(BlocklandPlusUpdaterGUI);
}

So every update downloaded will just end up in your add-ons folder, instead of stashing a file elsewhere.

Also nice photoshop skills there Aware.

I have never posted a joke topic before.

This still isn't explained, unless this image was faked as well or I'm missing something.

it's so easily fakable
i'm pretty sure he thought everyone was joking too

though to be honest i'm still completely unsure of what's going on, was this an actual thing or did raven make it up too?

No I'm not joking for the third time.

[Thorfin25]

You should change it to "A new version of Blockland Plus is available. Would you like to install it now?"

Edit: He already did

[Ipquarx]

My next question was going to be why does it say there's a new version of blockland available? Or is that just how the thing works?

[QuadStorm]

I'm assuming that the message was from the old (original) version, and now it's been updated to not be as misleading, since the most recent version's message is different and not misleading at all.
