Author Topic: An idea for in-game addon downloading.  (Read 665 times)

What if Badspot made something like the RTB mod manager, forced it to the blockland forum addons subforums, and have it download ingame? Would this kind of stuff be possible to make?
I think it'd be a good replacement for the people that kind of relied on RTB. Anyways, I'm not an expert on these kinds of things. Just an idea.

Would say that would be interesting. I don't think it would be possible however.

Unless everybody who posted an add-on followed the same format, then sifting through the HTML data of a forum post may result in links with errors, or improper links.

You don't have to parse full html, only the tiny subset that can be produced with bbcode.

The real problem are the download links, blockland needs a direct link in order to get the file. So if someone hosts an add-on on mediafire or similar, it doesn't work...
