A service that let's you share brick save files ingame online.
DrenDran:
So I've been thinking about making an add-on which lets you upload and share builds in a service vaguely simular to RTBs file sharing system, except it would be probably completely ingame. (I'd be making the server from scratch (C++) , and if I didn't have to add HTTP support that'd be nice) Basically, the way it would work is there'd be two ways of uploading a save file, either you go to the escape menu ingame, click the save bricks, and there'd be a 'save to file' or a 'submit submission' button. And/or there'd be a button on the main menu, or a gui brought up with keybinds that brings up a thing that lets you select a file to upload. Either way, you'd get to add a description and such.
To download there'd be a menu which you open either by a button on the main menu, or by keybind, that you could open that would let you select a file from a list, which would include the name, time and date it was submitted, the submitter, the amount of bricks, used/required add-ons, rating, comments, number of downloads, and the descriptions. There would probably also be a search that would let you filter out all builds that didn't contain your search string in the name. There could also be a button that would let you directly load an online save ingame.
This was just an idea I had after seeing it suggested, and figured it'd be possible for me to make, and wanted to know if it was a good idea?

I'm fairly sure this is going to be included in one of the upcoming RTB versions.

I don't believe Ephailtes has said anything about it in v4, maybe v5.
But at this rate, that might be a year away, no offense, of course.

v5, and he said v5 wouldn't take long because v4 is a complete rework, and later versions will just be adding on.
