Okay let's beta test now

There is some strange header mangling going on ATM. It's beta testing time as soon as that issue is resolved.

EDIT: Sent.

When I'm home I'm going to make a bug report app for you all testers.

[Crøwn]

I think rtb should be an app and shouldnt come with blockos, i mean the desktop icon not rtb itself.
When will you be making the ingame mini blockos?

[cheese6]

1) RTB should be an app and shouldnt come with blockos.
2) When will you be making the BlockTOP?

1) The reason we made it as an App is because when people get RTB - some don't know how open this, some are to lazy to do the bind, some forget it. And it takes longer to install an app, then you also have to restart. So we made it a mandatory app.
2) BOS5 might include it, BOS6 will defently have BlockTOP.
Depends on how fast we redesign things get bugs cleared. Then we can add new stuff. It also depends how fast Fluff can stuff out a frame of a laptop. How fast he can adjust the BlockOS screen to the BlockTOP miniscreen, and how fast we can debugify it.
Then first we have to redo most stuff in the first part. So don't expect BlockTOP soon.

To stop from having to restart after every add-on downloaded, use setModPaths(getModPaths()); then just execute the add-on accordingly and it should be fine.

Bugs Known:
Start Menu stays up all the time. (Stays up when you click something on it, goes away ingame, comes back when you leave the game.)
Not a very good bug to find that is very descriptive, somehow i was switching through fullscreen and non-fullscreen while changing sizes, I came accros my background switching to default. Not sure how.
When on fullscreen on that smallest view (640 480) most of the apps and icons you click show the window mostly out of the screen.
whoisclient doesn't work.
Backgrounds dont save after restart.

Ideas:

   Features:
   Start Menu Icon is cool, but what if we could change to anything? Or better yet, a set of defaults like the bricks, rtb bricks, and the B for blockland?
   BLOCKOS5 Title is better as BLOCKOS 5.
   BLOCKOS5 Title is such a hog, wheres the blockland title? The game isnt called Blockos.
   Settings is mentioned twice in this. One is a desktop icon, one is in start menu icon. Why are they called the same thing? One should be Options (default), one should stay Settings (BlockOS settings.).
   Order the start menu more reasonably (Tutorial, Start Game, Join Game, Options (Settings), Player (I still want this), Credits, Quit.
   RTB Mod Manager icon to go with RTB icon.
   Make the time able to show it like most people like it, instead of the time going from 11, 12, 13..., go from 10PM, 11PM, 12AM, 1AM. (AKA Instead of military time, make it optional to use standard instead.).
   Make the date clickable to show a calender. Make the calender be able to show dates, have reminders, etc.
   I sill really want Email.
   Make all those tiny letters on the toolbar larger and easier to read.
   Make the Screenshots App show the number of the images.
   My Documents more simple and easy to understand how to use (I cant figure out how to use it :c)
   Moving around Icons.
   Recycle Bin

   Apps:
                Internet Explorer
   Fixed Tetris
   BrianHosting Download Manager
   More Games
   Maybe the Calender idea
   WhoIs
   MAYBE a Notepad that two people or more can all work on (like etherpad)
   Better Notepad
   

I will continue to upgrade this IF I need to. Mainly just bugs.
Brian told me to post this instead.

Removing apps in beta2 w/ new appstore design.
Once he finishes that is.

I agree wholeheartedly on this one and I have already complained about it before.

   Make the time able to show it like most people like it, instead of the time going from 11, 12, 13..., go from 10PM, 11PM, 12AM, 1AM. (AKA Instead of military time, make it optional to use standard instead.).

Silly english-speaking countries.

   Make the Screenshots App show the number of the images.

Good idea, thanks.

   My Documents more simple and easy to understand how to use (I cant figure out how to use it :c)

Agree.

The question here is whether to use the BOS database or the Datafling database.  Or a combination.

Looks sweet, however the use of 'OS' implies its an operating system which though it tries to mimic it really isn't other than that great work!

This is simply because it resembles an OS. And brian refuses to change it

I could easily integrate the two. It is literally a GET request.

True.
