Author Topic: Blockland installer v12 v13 or v14  (Read 6574 times)

I want to mess around on some old maps which need a long draw distance.  As far as I know v14 was the last release where the draw distance went above 1000.

I've done some extensive googling but the closest version I've found is v16.  I ran into a couple of copies that claimed to be v14 v13 v12 whatever.  But the archive date was always after 2010-05-25.  Which is when v15 was released.  When a new version is released, all old version exes are updated to the new one.  Even if their names aren't changed.  So anything I download from after May of 2010 is going to be v15 or later.

I believe there is a NO EXE rule here or something like that.  So if you have it, please pm me a link.


Edit:
I have been collecting old versions of blockland.
You can find the ones that have been found @ old.block.land
Do not contact Badspot about any issues with an older version of Blockland.  They are no songer supported and most, if not all of the issues you face will have been fixed in the latest version.
If you download one of those, you may also want some of these add-ons:

Custom Master Server Script From Port's v20(Works for all versions):

[CustomMS_DG removed because it defaults to master2.blockland.us]

RTB v2 for Blockland v9:

Use one of the big archive sites to get the download page from that time, it should have the old installers.

I wanted v12 specifically for looking back on, and I couldn't find it whatsoever
it would be cool to get these back
if anyone does find it pm it to me too please

I did.  The oldest I've found through those is v16.


Right.  Now download and install that, and watch as it unpacks the Blockland launcher from v20.

Edit: Actually that might use the launcher from v21.  ... Yeah, its from the current website so it will use the current launcher.

Well that's stupid, guess badspot edited the files so people stop playing old versions of the game

also I did it on v8

you can also do this because there's no limit

..no it's not an illusion, I scaled the player to be 100 100 100
also, slopes and tutorial


sadly the slopes and tutorial seem to crash the game at above 3000 view distance so this is all
for kitchen and bedroom it's up to 6000

for more player scaling,
here's 0.01

here's 0.001

and here's 0


also tendon sorry for kinda derailing your topic a bit but this is just incase anyone finds this interesting

Ooh nostalgia.  I miss the ability to scale things up to ridiculous sizes.  I wonder if there's also no brick size limit in v8.  I remember being on the kitchen map and placing a 256x cube outside.

ok I did some messing around on slate and
ever wanted to see the entire sky palace at once?


(would've done a megashot on this but it doesn't exist on this version)
this is with the view distance set at 20000
zoomed in:

zoomed out (fov 90)

for slate, there's no limit on view distance as far as I could tell
which does mean you can see the entirety of slate's building limits (before you reach the end of the interior) all at once

How did you get v8? I want to mess around with the stuff that v20 won't let me too. old.block.land doesn't have anything on it.

I sent the links to Pecon, but she has yet to do anything other than set up a directory on old.block.land.

I'll pm you the archive link for v8, Menderman.

man i seriously miss being able to see an entire build at once. I didn't even notice this till now - all i noticed was how its annoyingly hard to pose some broad angle pictures, but never the fact that the old versions had much higher draw distances.

really gave maps a sense of scale, esp on GSF's maps or those house maps. nostalgia overload...
