lol, go you.
Slezak:
This is a neat idea! I'm very happy someone was able to create it, but it should be safe to assume it would have some bugs, but knowing who created it, they SHOULD be able to be fixed. I love the idea, but then again, I've seen people try to do this sort of thing with "3D virtual desktops" which are like buildings you'd walk around and click on icons to get to certain parts of your computer instead of just having a desktop background. It's a novel concept, but it adds a sort of extra step to the process. If done right though, it could make a beautiful "start to your day" where you spawn, look around your place for a bit, stare out your window, and then go over to the computer to start playing in another server... so you can go stare out someone else's window.

Questions:
[*]Why does it load all of the add-ons twice? I'm only an amateur scripter so I don't understand a lot about the add-on loading system.
[*]Wouldn't it be awesome if there was an actual "Blockland Central Hub" (instanced, of course, about 16 or 32 players at once) thing where you walk around and possibly interact with other people and can choose to start an actual server or join one, or even freebuild in a sectioned-off part of the hub?

Suggestions:
[*]Additional set of events for the RTB menu options (the mod manager, IRC client, and RTB options specifically)
[*]I want it to load the default add-ons ONLY OR have an external "hub add-ons" list so we can set the ones we want pre-enabled, but keep the add-ons I have enabled already enabled for when I wish to start a server from the hub.
[*]Like someone else said, have it pre-load the hub save so we spawn in the hub instead of somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
[*]If possible, add a "Quit to Hub" option to the escape menu.

I think it's safe to say Amade's just dropped this entirely. He's told all of us to delete the mod (I kept it, but it makes blockland take so much longer to start up that I'll most likely get rid of it)

It's main problem is that it's buggy and it's not polished. I made a script that automatically respawns me a second after I first spawn, and that alone made the mod much much much better. If we polished it up, it really could have potential.

This is an absolutely amazing idea, and could be done as long as we had a dedicated.

I think we need a quitToHub event to.
