If you're doing more than just hosting a version number:

I'm sure there are thousands of reasons to host a text file but they're just not relevant to this situation. We're discussing whatever this is, not Slayer.

and if it doesn't get approved, or it isn't an add-on, what then?I could be horribly wrong, but I don't think jes's project is an add-on.

How can something not be an add-on? If it runs in Blockland it's an add-on. Can you give me an example of a non-add-on add-on?

What if he just doesn't want to host it on RTB? Let him learn how to use TCP objects, RTB isn't required.

I'm not saying it is, there's no need to get up in arms here. I suggested it as the most obvious thing to use, and also recommended he look into free web hosts. Have you got a problem?

Basically any tool that generates .blb files outside of blockland.

It seems, judging by the OP, that jes's tool is a thing that makes colorsets.

Again, I might be wrong.

Well it's clearly written in Torquescript so unless it runs within another Torque game to make things for Blockland it's kind of an add-on.

Oh, duh

ok nevermind

Code: [Select]
function ColorSetMaker_VersionCheck() { [b] if(isFile("./RTBinfo.txt") && (isFile("add-ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/client.cs"))) { return; }[/b] if(isObject(ColorSetMaker_Downloader)) ColorSetMaker_Downloader.delete(); new TCPObject(ColorSetMaker_Downloader); ColorSetMaker_Downloader.connect("dl-web.dropbox.com:80"); }

I think this is the first time I've ever 100% agreed with Ephi. Use RTB, it's probably better than dropbox for your needs. Dropbox is really weird with how they handle their files, the only benefit you get is downloading from a server closer to you. I don't know where the RTB server is located, or maybe Ephi has multiple and they're linked to improve speeds for clients, however his system works it does it's job well enough.
