It's loving annoying.

You're supposed to report stuff like that by going here: http://trac.returntoblockland.com/
The beta is a test, and it can't be improved unless you give some input.

So you can't join your friends because you need to download a GUI. Big loving deal.

I'd much rather press the key bound to light than say /light, for example, and I'd much rather press the button than open a GUI to click a button.

Okay. Go ahead and bind 30*3 keys for using/dropping/selling inventory, virtually infinite keys for buying items, and flooding your chat to find out what you have in inventory.
Because that would make much more sense for DRPG right? Who needs those GUIs? Just get a bunch of keybinds for the 30 slots in your inventory.

It's highly unlikely that RTB4 is actually able to detect if an add-on is preventing them from joining.
Oh no you didn't get to join. What I want to know is why you're joining a server only because a certain person is there and not because of what kind of server it is. If you wanna stalk/talk to the person, just send a personal message. If you want in so badly, take the whole damn minute of your life to download a GUI that you need to do everything in the server which I explained why multiple times. If you really want in that badly I can give you a workaround that'll let you join but not have a keybind (that you don't have to bind if you really don't want to) so you can jump around and do absolutely nothing but annoy people.

MegaScientifical:
The point of RTB detecting that a server can't be joined is so that you don't have to rejoin the server you were already in since the one you were joining is unplayable. Creating dynamic detection of this type of block is impossible, or incredibly difficult. Obtaining these means taking the long route of going to the browser, downloading a GUI you'll never use, and being forced to use it just to play with friends. You are making it a requirement to check with friends if the server has such a script in place before joining, and complicating the process which Ephialtes and others have worked so hard to streamline. I have a valid point, and just because it inconvenience you all doesn't invalidate the point. Address it logically or stop trying to discount me.

It is okay if you have a GUI and you can't play fully without it, but that shouldn't justify blocking the flow. I know noobs will complain "I don't know what to do?" and you must tell them "Get the GUI!" but blocking people without it isn't the way to go. Make it work within Ephialtes' GUI downloading, or find some other workaround. Maybe make your own GUI downloader so at the very least they all download without separate downloads. But I can't tell you how many times I've tried to join friends on RTB and got kicked out saying "Download this," which I may add has broken links sometimes.

I also need the full link, not a click link. >.>

Chrono:
Or you can just not join a server only because a friend is in it.
You should join a server because it's something your interested in.

But why am I even mentioning that even after I know what kind of person you are anyways?

Besides, I'd rather have them forced to download a GUI and then enter the server and likely know what to do rather than having a bunch of people clogging a busy and popular server (and seeing from experience), never getting help on how to do anything.

Sorry. I'd rather have the server filled with people who have a basic idea on how to get started than let a bunch of clueless people in (who probably think it's a variable RP) and one guy who wants to stalk his friends and not do anything.

If you want to talk to your friends, you're already using RTB4, you can talk to them that way. You don't have to be in the server, and if you want to be in really bad, then take the less than a damn minute to download a gui that takes barely any space on your computer and you never have to use anyways.

I will not impede any future projects just for the sake of people who are too lazy to download an 84.3 KB file. Joining a server is not the only way to socialize, and that's the only possible intention of joining a server that your friend is in.
