What is TBM?

TBM is a free modification (mod) to the single and multi-player Lego-like brick building game Blockland. The TBM mod includes hundreds of different bricks for building, 98 different colors, IRC chat, and a variety of high-quality maps and models. Recommend TBM to your friends and come try The Better Mod for yourself!

TBM also has a deathmatch mod titled Death to Block (DTB) which expands on The Better Mod's extensive list of features and allows you to battle your friends online.

The latest update for TBM 2 is The Orange Block, a complete TBM pack with every add-on, map and mod (almost), and enough optimizations to make it even more mod-able. Not only does it have TBM and DTB, but it has Cemetech AI 3, 5 new fire and smoke particles, better weapons, and all of calc84maniac's mods, including his famous web-slinger, iGob scaler and turret switches. It also comes with a great help file so you can learn about all of the features.

Surprise! I've decided to patch up what I have so far and release it as The Orange Block 1.6. Sorry, the community add-on system has yet to be added. I still need to set the mod paths correctly, among other things. I have however added Emotes, balanced the shit out of the weapons, and added toggable blood and fall damage. I also included a bunch of saves left out of 1.5.

A few people have been getting this error recently, but fear not, I am working on the problem. I've figured out that it is related to vehicles, specifically mounting to them. The message you get is my modified version of the original "You do not have the correct version of the torque game engine or related art..." message (since everyone hated it) now used to direct out-dated clients to this website. As long as you save before using vehicles, this error shouldn't be a problem.
