RTB 4
So the long-awaited RTB 4 is now available for download. You can either use the in-game auto-updater or the download link below. The original topic in the add-ons forum died of old age so I'll probably move this over there after a bit. The most notable new feature is the friends list/chat system which replaces the IRC client. The full list of features is as follows:

  • Friends List - RTB Connect is a custom chat system built specifically for Blockland which allows you to keep a list of all your friends and talk to them, invite them to servers and see what they're up to. In addition to the friends list there are also public chat rooms you can join much like the old RTB 3 IRC Client. In future versions you'll also be able to create your own.


  • In-Game Add-On Manager - This system will allow you to browse Add-Ons submitted to the RTB Add-Ons System, comment on them, rate them and finally download and install them without ever having to leave Blockland.


  • Online Add-On Browser - To go with the In-Game Add-On Manager, We've also got an Online version of this which is connected to our forums. Using this system you can submit your Add-Ons to our system, to be downloaded by users ingame!


  • Player Activity Tracking - Information about what server you're on, and how long you've been playing are sent to our Web Server so people can see who is currently playing Blockland and where.


  • Server Information Broadcasting - Information about the server you're hosting is sent to our Web Server such as the players on it, and even what Add-Ons you've enabled.


  • Colorset Management - Instead of having to copy a text document to a folder to change your colorset, you can now use our Colorset Manager that allows you to download Colorsets from the RTB System, preview them, and then apply them before you start your server, without ever having to leave Blockland.


  • Ingame Server Manager - The Ingame Server Manager will allow your Super Admins to manage your server by controlling the Auto Admin list, all the server preferences etc.


  • Game Tips on Loading - The Infomaniac will now give you information about Blockland when you're loading a server, so you can learn more about the intricacies of the game!


  • Server Information - When you attempt to join an RTB Server, you'll be presented with an information screen which will show you all the players on the server, and all the add-ons the server has.


  • Auto-Updater - RTB will automatically notify you when an update has become available and will allow you to download and install it immediately.

Known Issues

  • If you're having trouble getting the user context menus to work, remove Iban's CityRP Gui add-on.
  • Don't add more than about 80 friends at the moment or you won't be able to reconnect.
  • Sometimes if non-friends message you their name will be blank.

It has been automatic since RTB v2 I think.

RTB has come a long way

Why the beta testers don't got "something more" than others? D:

The real question is why should they? Also crashes when trying to open overlay when starting a server.
Edit: Scrap that, crashes when starting a single player game.
Edit2: It was an add-on I was testing. Move along.

The real question is why should they?

Volunteer work.
With it being live, many others will find bugs and glitches as well.
