Addon Woes

[Bishie]

I'm having a number of issues with a multitude of addons despite having installed them correctly to my knowledge.

Examples of the issues are as follows:

-I'd use a grenade but it doesn't explode; sound effects are absent also.

-I'd use the portal gun, but the model is like that of the hookshot. The portals created are nothing but coloured blocks.

-I am able to use the minigun; except there is no sound upon firing.

All of the above and more have been installed as advised; namely by extracting the files to the addons folder.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I believe I have somehow caused a confliction having overwritten the aforementioned. The addons that extracted without prompting me to overwrite function flawlessly.

You should be extracting to the main Blockland folder, not the add-ons folder. :\

[Wedge]

How many add-ons are you running?

[Bishie]

I'm running the following:

Weapons:

-Chainsaw
-Minigun
-Flamethrower
-Grenade
-Portal Gun

Vehicles:

-Biplane
-Stunt Plane

Mods:
-Zombie Mod

How do I rectify these problems specifically?

[Colten]

Ok, reinstall Blockland. Then, install those add-ons but extract them to the main Blockland folder.

[Bishie]

I presume I have to manually delete then reinstall? I see no uninstaller.

[Aloshi]

...but I suggest you reinstall in a different folder, so if it doesn't work out you can switch back to your old game/copy things over to the new one.

Delete the whole Blockland folder then install it again.

Depending on which version of the portal gun you downloaded, that might be the way it is supposed to be. Did you download the one here?

I happen to have all of those addons installed at the moment, running flawlessly.

Are you using the HE Grenade by Pload? If you installed them correctly, you should be able to go this directory:

C:\Program Files\Blockland\Add-Ons\Sound

and see the following files:
hegrenadeFire.wav
idle_chainsaw.ogg

In this directory:

C:\Program Files\Blockland\Add-Ons\Sound\PortalGun

you'll be able to find:
portal_open3.wav

This is just a sample of a few of the files, I'm checking to see if you've got them installed right.

Can you still hear other sounds, such as jumping, painting, or shooting?

[Bishie]

I've reinstalled the game and all is working as it should. The Portal Gun is outdated as suspected by Wedge. How do I remove the current version? Do I simply overwrite?

Again your help is much appreciated. Do excuse my naivety.

namely by extracting the files to the addons folder.

All of my mods, and most others on the forum, install by extracting to the Blockland folder.

Disable Weapon_PortalGun if it exists and enable Weapon_PortGun if you are trying to use my Portal Gun.

Are you using the HEGrenade (Weapon_HEGrenade) or the older Grenade? (Weapon_Grenade) The sound problem for that and the minigun probably also comes from the way you extracted it.

Delete the Add-Ons/Add-Ons folder, and reinstall the mods by extracting to your main (usually C:/Program Files/Blockland) folder.

[Bishie]

All is working as it should; addons included. My regards to those who proved helpful.

1= you downloaded the wrong portal gun/ it didn't work, download it again and you will get the new portal gun, but it doesnt overwrite hte old one >.<
2=the high explosive grenade does not make an explosion half the time, i tink it might work in an online game, but i have probelsm porting forwarding and stuffing
3=i forget the rest of questings, oh yeah DL to main blockland folder, and if that doesnt work, download to BLfolder/add-ons, although thats not particularly proper and will have numerous problems such as slow internet game loadings and missing parts such as stuntplane tire and gunshell.dts
hopetishelps, reinstalling the game would clear you of unwanted problems, but delete the old blockland stuff in that case
