Is your time worthless?  Do you OCD?  Do you want to help out with Blockland v18?  Now is your opportunity!

Here's the deal:  v18 features a high speed file download system.  To facilitate this system I need every add-on that exists.  

I need some volunteers to:
  • Download all files from the add-ons board
  • Put them all into a single archive
  • Send me a PM when your archive is ready
  • Upload the archive via FTP to the address I give you.


There are 3 relevant sections of the add-ons board:
  • Add-Ons
  • Maps - done by blitz9100
  • Music - done

    I already have all RTB files so it is not necessary to do that section.  Each section can be done by a different person but I don't need 100 people to do this half way.  I need one person to do each section completely.  

    Only attempt this if you have the bandwidth and time to download, archive and upload 1GB+.  If you can do this, pick a section and reply.

I think I might be able to get something.

I could do this easily at my other home, but unfortunately that's not where I am.

Well, I guess Badspot has been looking on the forums. Music section is a GREAT idea to put in. I'll see if I can help out.

Does this mean the add-ons section is going to close or be renovated? Or is this going to be uploaded and integrated into actual blockland, or is it just for testing purposes to see how faster the download goes?

i have a ton of old addons, back to v9, if you want me to upload them
although it does have some failed addons, as it's from my crashed computer before they were crap'oned

edit: i have 796 from the computer that crashed, should i filter out default ones and abusive ones, and things like city rp?

No, The files will just be hosted in a single place for fast downloading when you're connecting to a server - much like how the RTB Content Downloading works but a faster and cleaner implementation.

Do you mean ALL add-ons, by that i mean failed add-ons, mini-nuke, CityRPG


Sounds cool, i'd be happy to spam send you a couple of the mods.

Also, looks like this will be quality.

ill do the music section

Or the addons if no one wants to.

  • Download all files from the add-ons board
Holy stuff.

EDIT: Why dont we just start from scratch?
EDIT2: Add-on board has about 70 pages of add-ons. I may be able to help.
EDIT3: I will help on Maps. You wont mind a .rar file, would you?

He doesn't want you to package them all together and upload them to some site.

He wants you to have all of them ready in a big folder then he'll give you a link to upload them all to.

By the looks of it, I'll be doing add-ons, seeing how no one has said they'll actually do it.
Just a bunch of "maybe"s and "might"s with even a "a few of them".

I'm not confident in my connection speed/bandwidth. Someone else should do this and not say "maybe" or "might" or "some of it".

i can, i just don't know if i should remove some of them, like city rp, the mininuke, and the speedometer

I'll volunteer for maps.
