This is pretty much what the plan is for v5.

Did not know that. It seems unreasonable to perma ban someone from the IRC. You should give them a long time then.
It seems unreasonable that I have to deal with hundreds of dumbass kids that can't control the stuff coming out of their mouths or behave in an acceptable manner towards other people, yet you don't see me bitching and moaning about it. I'm not paid nor obligated to provide this service to them, so if they piss me off I ban them. Complaints in writing please.

Er - this was done a long time ago.

And just looking around ...
Don't do this. I'm not going to let you post anything that screws up RTB.

Because of the way RTB and BuB work, I created a system mixing the two TCP packages together to get
them to work. If Ephialtes is changing the normal RTB package, I want to have that updated and ready
to use when BuB releases.

I've removed the Image2Preview link - I'm not too keen on seeing more abuse of the preview feature.

It was just some lame logic oversight because a few days were missed from processing between the 28th of October and the 2nd of November or something so the data all got shifted left a few days. If I don't find the time to fix it it'll correct itself in about a week and be back to normal.

I haven't decided on whether it'd be a premium feature or not (or whether there will even be a premium service) but I definitely plan to limit the number of rooms created by users somehow. People should be encouraged to enjoy the rooms available to them instead of immediately trying to make their own.

Help / Re: [RTB] "Account does not exist"?
« on: November 13, 2010, 08:00:26 AM »This happened to me too.
Seems that RTB accounts are being transferred to a new system
They're not.
Make sure you're logging in on the downloads system.

There will be about 4 or 5 public ones - like a General, Helpdesk, Servers, Off Topic etc.

If I were to do this via RTB people would have to enter their key as part of the payment/registration process for a server. I'm not going to bother trying to figure out some way around this.

« on: November 12, 2010, 02:10:05 PM »I just have a small question about the new file arrangement :
Many add-ons that use RTB Prefs (mine included, unfortunately, since i copy/pasted from one of those when I was figuring out how) will exec RTBR_ServerControl_Hook.cs if $RTB::RTBR_ServerControl_Hook is false. Since the alpha's file system is different, how will this affect those add-ons?
The old filepath and variables will still exist, but would reference the new path. The include code will be updated in the documentation to reflect the fact that RTB now gets executed before everything else too and people will be encouraged to switch their code to the new format. Then eventually I'll just remove the legacy stuff and anyone who couldn't be bothered to update their code will be left with a broken add-on.

I'll be aiming to try the group chat out in alpha. I don't want to have to add everyone in the beta to my friends list - that would be a nightmare. It'd be far better to have a global room for people to discuss issues collectively.
The mod manager is just a case of moving the code over into the new file structure. It should just be a case of changing image paths and a few find/replaces on variable names.

I've got a plan drawn up for how I'd do this if I were to provide a service like it via RTB and I think it'd reasonably satisfy everyone's requirements. I don't think there are many/any people in this community I could trust with my money to provide a quality service.
If I have some time after RTB4 is out I could look into it, but only if there are enough people to offset the cost of it sufficiently. I'd aim to operate at breakeven or a loss as usual. I'm not too interested in turning a profit out of the Blockland community.

Small Progress Update
As some of you know but almost none of you will be able to appreciate, I've got a job - and on the approach to Christmas things are getting pretty busy so I've had less and less time to look at RTB. Most of the time I've spent recently has been dealing with migrating things over to the new datacenter. Everything's running from there now (except the wiki, but nobody uses that) and it all seems to be getting along great and the webserver has an uptime of 53 days!!!!!111
I haven't said much on the new website yet, but I think it looks nice and it'll do a much better job for us than phpBB was able to. I've been gradually adding functionality to that when I have the time.
Actual RTB development has slowed to a crawl recently due to lack of time, but I'll be picking that back up again soon since the alpha doesn't even contain all the important things like the Mod Manager etc. which I'm sure is bugging alpha testers if they haven't already switched back to v3.5 yet.
There's a chance the beta may come out this year if I can get everything stable and working nicely.
