Author Topic: !! MAP HELP !!  (Read 1232 times)

Im kinda new to the blockland thing ( All I do is build or stand in awe at others builds ) but I think it is time I step up a bit and finally create my first map. I am completly unsure on how to do this so I am going to need a little help.

*warning* I am only 14 years old ( big computer talk confuses me so try and keep it simple XD

First, is there a certain add-on I must first install to do this.

Second, once in game, how do I get started

Third, some basic works on creating a new map

Help is greatly appreciated and I'm sure posts like this are already created but I made this one to show exactly the information that I need. Thank you for any support you give...

get the mission editor

duck

Installing the editor:

1. Download the Editor.zip from the forums. (No idea where, modding discussion?)

2. Open the zip using Windows.

3. Drag the Editor folder inside the zip to your C:\Program Files\Blockland folder

4. Open "main.cs" in the C:\Program Files\Blockland folder by opening with a text document, and find:

Code: [Select]
$defaultGame = "Add-Ons";
and change it to

Code: [Select]
$defaultGame = "Add-Ons;Editor";
5. Save

6. Open Blockland and start a Game.

7. Press F11 then mess about with it.

This is sort of a haxy way to do it, note that it won't work in V9. Only V8 and down.

Okiedokey. Fool's guide:

1. Click the following Image and save the .zip file to your Desktop.



2. Double-click the file once it has downloaded to your Desktop.

3. Leave that window, and double click My Computer.

4. Double click Program Files.

5. Double click Blockland.

6. Click on the other window with the Editor folder in it.

7. Drag the editor folder from inside Editor.zip, to the Blockland Folder.

8. Open up the file "main.cs" in the Blockland Folder by double-clicking and then selecting Notepad from the menu.

9. Find the line:

Code: [Select]
$defaultGame = "Add-Ons";
in the file.

10. Change that line to:

Code: [Select]
$defaultGame = "Add-Ons;Editor";
11. Save the main.cs file.

12. Close the main.cs file.

13. Open Blockland.

14. Start a Game.

15. Press F11 once you have spawned.

this is all i see when i open it...

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Package overrides to initialize the mod.
package Editor {
   function onStart()
   {
      Parent::onStart();
      echo("\n--------- Initializing MOD: Editor ---------");
      exec("./editor.cs");
      exec("./particleEditor.cs");
      exec("./GuiEditorGui.gui");
      exec("./ParticleEditor.gui");
   }

   function initClient()
   {
      Parent::initClient();
   }
}; // Editor package
activatePackage(Editor);

There's a main.cs in the Blockland folder, and a main.cs in the Editor folder. You want the one in the Blockland folder.
