Author Topic: Downloading mods correctly (a tutorial)  (Read 3393 times)

I am finally making this post to save the blockland forums from posts called ''Hao to install mods?'' Well, Heres a tutorial.


Maps.

First of all.
You have to download it.
You extract the whole folder to.
Blockland>Base>Data>Missions.
If you are in game. You have to restart blockland in order for this to work.



Vehicles.

First of all.
You have to download it.
You extract the WHOLE folder to your main blockland folder.



Wepons and the such.

First of all.
You have to download it.
You extract it too.
Blockland>Add-ons.



ColorSet.

You download it.
Normally a Colorset will just open automatically, and you save it too.
Blockland>Base>Configuration>Colorset.

Note: Normally it asks you if you want to overwrite it, say Yes.
Note2: If you are in game, you MUST close blockland by doing this:
Escape Key>Quit>Yes.

"Weapons and the such" & "Maps." are wrong.

This is also assuming that they are all zips/rars.

Weapons is not  wrong. That is how I do it and have never had a problem.

And maps isnt wrong either. I have downloaded them that way forever and never had a problem.

Then all of your weapons are extracted the wrong way. Some maps may work that way, but most I've encountered extract to the main blockland folder.

Remember: not having a problem does not mean you did it right.

Vehicles & weapons & most other scripts & most maps extract to your main blockland folder. There are special cases in each category where they go other places and you should read the original post to see if the add-on you are downloading has a special place to be extracted.

Special note added?

Your still telling them to extract things to the wrong place. Besides, there are plenty of (correctly made) tutorials on how to do this, but new players are just not finding them.

Whoops. Didnt mean that. And fine. Closing this stuff.
