"How to load & use bricks without restarting the server
To use a brick that you execute mid-game, follow these steps:
0. [server] exec("<the brick's server.cs, example: 'add-ons/brick_1x1/server.cs'");
1. [server] createUINameTable();
2. [server] transmitDatablocks();
3. [server] commandToAll('BSD_LoadBricks');
After you do these steps, the brick that you loaded mid-game will then be usable without having to restart the server.
Post neat steps / tricks that you can do to fix an otherwise tedious thing in Blockland.

Step three can be changed to commandToAll('BSD_LoadBricks');

Only after you complete the mission where you have to safely land three paratroopers from the space base. You know, the one that's in the second map pack.


There's a /greenlight command that gives your player a green light that was made "impossible" to unlock after Blockland got on steam. However, you can still unlock it by use of console commands. Type steamGreenLightGui.clickForwa rd(); into your console, though it will open Blockland's Greenlight page in your web browser. Now you can use /greenlight in any server.

The interesting thing about this is that the greenlight gui/"ad" still exists within the game. Open the gui editor and you will find it as SteamGreenLightGui. If I remember correctly I've even added this info onto TCRF's page on Blockland, or at least expanded on it, as it's legit unused content.

as it's legit unused content.

I wouldn't classify it as unused content,  because it was used when Blockland was getting greenlit. Badspot was just too lazy to remove the gui from the game after Blockland was finally greenlit.

It does seem to count for TCRF's standards, though, as it shouldn't even be here anymore.

After Blockland was Greenlit it wasn't intended to be reachable by users anymore and was not removed from the game either, so I'd say it well qualifies as unused content.

ctrl+E to go back a row on the spray can

findclientbyname("name").delete("Server has been shutdown."); if you want to get rid of someone
schedule(5000,0,crash); to quit your game in 5 seconds
for(%i = 0; %i < amount; %i++){commandtoserver(command);} to repeat a command a bunch of times

setmodpaths(getmodpaths()); can be used to find files you added to the add-ons list while the game is still running
