Adding Colors

[Lord Templar]

If I want to add colors to the defult colorset, where in the Blockland Folder do I go?

[honytawk]

In here:

Windows XP or older:
C:\ProgramFiles\Blockland\Config\Server\

Windows Vista
C:\Blockland\Config\Server\


There is a file named "ColorSet" and is written in RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
Be aware that you can only have 64 colors (effects not included)

[Lord Templar]

Thank you.
Will leave unlocked incase anything goes wrong.
When I went to the folder the file consisted of numbers.
I expexted colors like images.
How do I edit the colors?

[honytawk]

You need to work whit a code named RGB
its kinda like this:
255 (of red) 0 (of green) 0 (of blue) 255 (of transparent) : makes Red not transparent
0 255 0 255 makes green
0 0 255 255 makes blues
then you can mix stuf

The easyest way to create such numbers is: open Paint or an other coloring program you have
there go to the ColorChose window
Notice that there only will stand 3 numbers (transparent is not included)

Transparent:
255 cant see trough
0 cant be seen
and all the rest thats between it

I hope this makes sence to you

[Lord Templar]

I'll test it out.
How do I tell it what column to go in on BL?
I think I figured that out.
Yet, now when I try to start a game with my new colors it shuts the game down.
I did the math and I did not go over the limit of 64.
Any help?

If you finished a culum, you need to add "DIM: "place the name here""
This is what is going to be the name of the culum

Example:
255 155 100 255
5 5 5 255
123 45 67 100
DIM: Random Colors

147 252 132 0
156 87 135 12
41 46 48 79
DIM: More random colors

I think its because of that

If its not, send me the file so I can check

[Lord Templar]

I figured that for the column names but when i try to start a game (single player) with my new colors it shuts the game down.

I believe it DIV, not DIM

Btw, pure colors, like 255 0 0 255, can look bad for most building. (But they work great for RGB light animation)

Yep, its DIV

Code: [Select]

230 87 20 255
191 46 123 255
99 0 30 255
34 69 69 255
0 36 85 255
27 117 196 255
255 255 255 255
20 20 20 255
255 255 255 64
DIV:Bold

255 is the maximum you can use
Maybe its about this

[Lord Templar]

Nope thats not is.
I think, I'll double check.

[Loopyla1]

Nope thats not is.
I think, I'll double check.

Did you make it DIV and not DIM?
If you did then I can't help you...

[honytawk]

Can you copy and paste the file in here, so I can check?
Or send it to me on PM or something if you dont want it to be spread over internet

[honytawk]

I think the problem is somewhere else
I tryed the set and it worked for me
Maybe an add-on thats placed wrong

If you dont have much add-ons, I sugest that you reinstall Blockland
(you could copy your saves, colorset, ... to somewhere else and then copy it back in)

PS its easyer to use full numbers for transparrent like 100 or 124 instead of 0.700
