Proto:Blockland/Beta7/Texture Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:Blockland/Beta7.

UI Assets

• Many UI graphics are different - already covered by the GUI Differences section.
• Is missing "inactive" state graphics for many main menu buttons.
• There are two images "colorMenu.png" and "colorSelect.png" which are completely identical - they are from March 2005 and show 8 color buttons horizontally.

• 

• There is a stock Torque Game Engine image "GarageGames.jpg" which isn't used in this beta - in stock Torque Game Engine this covers the screen for a few seconds at startup.
• "gglogo150.png" is missing - this would be used on the "About" dialog to show the GarageGames logo.
• "GUIBrickSide" graphics are present - these are leftovers from v0002, they are the lego-style item slots at the bottom of the in-game UI.

In the base/ui folder,

• There are many UI files present for different torque game engine window themes, all omitted from the final v1 release.
• blockWindow is different - in the beta the main body of the window is a darker color.
• torqueCheck and torqueRadio are different, reflecting the new UI style of check and radio buttons.

Icons

The "avatarIcons" folder only has icons for a few parts that have swappable models. There is a separate folder called "bodyparts" containing icons for the main body parts that are not swappable at all.

• The differences of player parts are summarized in the Player Differences section.

The "itemIcons" folder:

• Is missing the graphics for the tool UI backgrounds
• Is missing the Wrench item icon (likely wasn't a used tool yet)
• All item icons are picturing the lego-like models present in this beta.
• All item icons show the items default colors, rather than being colored white (to be then tinted different colors ingame).
• All items are positioned upright, while in retail some are tilted clockwise.
• All icons lack the circular UI background.

plantErrors

The "plantErrors" folder:

• Has all graphics from 14th July 2005.
• Bricks depicted on all of these feature lego-like studs, instead of the final studs design.

Brick Prints

All of the brick prints in this beta are dated May 2006 and are remnants from when the game had a LEGO-like style - most of these prints are based off of real LEGO brick sticker designs.

• All of these prints are sized 256px, while the final retail prints are 512px instead.
• There are 6 empty folders in the prints folder, named "1x1", "2x3r", "10x6", "15x6", "20x6" and "30x6".

These prints are different to final - they are of completely different and more simple designs to final, though are the same concepts.

• 1x1r: "medical1" and "radar1".

Beta v7	Retail v1

• 2x1: "caution1", "computer1" and "letter1".

Beta v7	Retail v1

• 2x2 (actually for 1x1): "arrow", "cautionTriangle" and "vent".

Beta v7	Retail v1

There is one unique print; 2x2 "arrowBlue". This print depicts a blue circle with a diagonal arrow shape cut out of it. The final game's "circle" print is also of a blue circle, but with no arrow.

Beta v7	Retail v1

These prints are all missing:

• 1x1r: "monitor1", "monitor2", "phone", "vent"
• 2x1: "blank", "chip1", "controller", "keyboard", "vent"
• 2x2: "blank", "circle", "handicap", "square"
• Letters: "space"
