BlockX is a wide-spectrum content blocker for Resonite, inspired by uBlock Origin.
It is made to prevent meshes, textures and any other kind of content from loading.
Until I find a more elegant way of blocking asset loading, this mod throws a lot of exceptions in the log (non-fatal tho).
WARNING: THIS CAN AND WILL BREAK MAPS, SYSTEMS AND AVATARS DEPENDING ON WHAT IS BLOCKED
WARNING: THIS MOD ISN'T READY YET AND IS MISSING IMPORTANT FEATURES, DO NOT USE
What this mod can and cannot do:
- It can block specific individual assets (textures, meshes, documents, ect)
- It CANNOT block a user (use the builtin block function)
- It CANNOT block a whole avatar (use the builtin hide function)
- It CANNOT completely block an object or world (unless every. single. asset. is in the blocklist but this would lead to more issues)
The goal of this project is mainly to block advertisements and tracking in worlds and not to replace the builtin blocking function of Resonite or moderation reports.
BlockX is not a policing tool, more like a sanity protector.
If you have any issues with anybody, report them to moderation, do not try to get their avatar, world or creations added to this project.
Blocklists for BlockX are made in the txt (plaintext) format and goes as follows:
# This is comment
# Asset signature to block:
d8f42c9ee9af31a2671f6f00773d8e2bc7a808596d195725b61e0d8e4b349e48
The default blocklist is located at: https://github.com/jae1911/BlockX-Lists and will be downloaded at startup and written to a file named blockXBL.txt in the rml_mods folder (or wherever the mod DLL is located) for caching.
Test world is available in Resonite with defaults in the current BL.
Right now, the mod will hijack the asset downloading phase and completely prevent the asset from being downloaded.
The cache checking logic is also hijacked to avoid loading assets that are already locally cached.
BlockX relies on ResoniteModLoader which you will have to install first.
You will then need to download the latest release, and put the DLL file into the rml_mods folder.
