Start Game Menu Idea #2 Addon Info Tab!

[ZERØ]

I had another great idea someone could probably use, it has to do with the fact many addon's still have a RTB Description file! I thought that
since the file is not in use anymore, maybe there could be a way to use it in the custom game's addon selection screen.

Simply have an info tab placed next to the addon and it would open the description the same way RTB used to have descriptions for addons.

The info tab would display info about the addon the same way rtb used to handle addon descriptions, and there's already many addons with a description.txt file, so it would be possible to utilize it, maybe an image preview would be nice too, except it would be irrelevant to events,sounds,supports,systems...I'll probably make that suggestion it's own thread...maybe.

I thought about it and I think its a great idea, but what do you guys think? I find it a great way to deal with addons with vague names.

This would be somewhat easy to make, but it would be time consuming. /support

Why use the rtbInfo file? All it has is the add-on's ID on the RTB website, the add-on's icon on the RTB website, the add-on's type on the RTB website, the add-on's title, and the add-on's version. I say use the description.txt, as Blockland requires every add-on to have one.

That sounds like a even better idea, great thinking.
