Changes that affect add-ons:
The auto-updater should work for most people but if you have a dedicated server or can't auto-update for some reason, there is a manual patch available: 1.02 to 1.03 Don't Wait Up Kids 2007-02-10 12:00:00 (permalink) On the plus side, we've improved everything significantly in the past couple of weeks but that means that we have to make sure things are stable before releasing it. So we're gonna take two weeks or so to make sure everything is stable and throw in a few more good features. Please cry on the forums Release Date 2006-12-23 12:00:00 (permalink) That is the estimated release date for the shiny new version of Blockland. It will be for sale right here on the internet for the low low price of $19.95. As it is now the game is quite playable and fun, but I really want to take the time to tighten everything up and ensure a quality release. I also want to make sure that my ducks are all in a row legally. Still Alive! 2006-07-17 12:00:00 (permalink) Things have been going fairly well in the land of blocks. I have been beta testing with a few people from the community and fixing bugs. We've generally been having a good time and building like mad: 
There's also a screenshot thread on the forum here. Note: Copyrighted Lego material has been removed for legal reasons. I actually prefer the new style because it works better as a real-time scene. My goal is to fix all of the problems that existed in v0002.
Some of you may remember the old optimization picture. Well here's a new one for ya. New Website 2006-02-23 12:00:00 (permalink) And yes, I do realize the folly of making a curved website design for a game about blocks. New Server Slash Forums 2005-10-15 12:00:00 (permalink) The forums are back up here If you registered within the past 3 months, you will have to re-register. Sorry. TBM Exploit Details 2005-07-16 12:00:00 (permalink) For complete information, see this thread. Basically, TBM detects AiO installations and compromises them so that anyone can connect to the compromised server and then proceed to upload and execute any script they want. There are a number of things a malevolent person could do to a compromised server including overwriting all of the script files, effectively removing the entire game. If you have installed TBM at any point in the past, I am forced to recommend that you delete your Blockland directory and re-install the game. Security Warning 2005-07-14 12:00:00 (permalink) Do NOT use TBM Rumors have surfaced recently that the makers of TBM have developed scripts that will damage a users Blockland directory if they attempt to use TBM code or models in a way that they don't approve of. I questioned Rob and MCP (aka Kier) of the TBM crew about this on IRC and they admitted to developing such a script. I questioned them separately about other hacking incidents involving TBM, which they both admitted to, but they tried to pin the blame on each other. These people cannot be trusted and their mod, TBM, should be considered a security risk. MCP has shown a tendency towards spite, vengeance and hacker ethics. I recommend you delete TBM and its auto-updater immediately. Blockland and Garage Games 2005-02-26 12:00:00 (permalink) Sadly, this means there will be no updates to the free version in the near future. But in the long run, this means you'll get a polished game with more features, improved interface, better performance and cross-platform support. Really, this is the best situation for all of us. The current version will remain online. I have not yet had any negotiations with Lego. I am going to try to contact them. I would like to keep the Lego theme, but if we can't reach a deal then the game will be made with a different theme. I have updated the FAQ. Feel free head on over to the Forums and ask questions. If you're thinking about making a post, please try to remain realistic and avoid jumping to conclusions. Forms Are Back 2005-02-25 12:00:00 (permalink) Update: The forum email function was broken for a bit, but it should be fixed now. Also the url for the site will soon be www.blockland.us. The old url will still work, though. Self Extracting Exe 2005-02-24 12:00:00 (permalink) The next version 2005-02-23 12:00:00 (permalink)
