Game Bar What is it? Game Bar is a concept design for Blockland. Initially, I hoped to provide a new resource to developers, and a new feature for users. I managed to provide 2 new features, and 1 new resource. I installed a default clock(useful for fullscreen), and a message bar. Since the release, there has been some confusion on what Game Bar does and how to take control of it. It is very simple, see the Resources below. Resources postError(); postError will post a message under the clock for 5 seconds. The message can be formatted, color changed, etc. I thought this would be useful for things such as a live TDM Score Updater(Updates scores every 5 seconds), or displaying errors. Example: postError("<color:FFF700>Jeep<color:FFFFFF>: Hello "@%client.name@"!"); Result: Jeep: Hello InsertNameHere! What is to come? Note Bar - Note Bar will be a plugin for Game Bar that allows users to post reminders that will stay on the bar. If you wanted to post a reminder to clean your room, you will see it when you spawn. TDM Live Updater - TDMLU will be a plugin for Game Bar Server that utilizes postError to post live scores of all the teams in a TDM. Game Bar Post - GBP will be a plugin for Game Bar that allows server admins to post messages to all the clients bar. The message can also be formatted and will stay there for 5 seconds. How can I help? You can help by creating plugins for Game Bar. I really wanted Game Bar to be built on as a custom environment. The only way that will happen is if you create plugins.

I had the beta on my old computer, and I just downloaded it from R.T.B. Looks like a very good idea. Are you the only one working on it? |

Sounds pretty useless actually, as I have a clock in my taskbar and RTB4 has a notification system that seems a lot better than this. |

Besides, those messages should really be kept as short as possible. --- Quote from: Jeep on June 15, 2011, 04:10:45 PM ---I wish I had more people to help though. --- End quote --- Set up a public GitHub/Bitbucket repository so people can submit their own patches without being on the "core team". |
