Add RTB to the list of add-ons that crash blockland.

What about LoadaddOn?
I think its category is either Server_ or Script_.
It worked for me before v21 but after the update it doesn't.

Well, I made another script that loads add-ons in a different way, so LoadaddOn doesn't matter to me much.

So someone can just say an add-on name, and you'll add it to the list without checking if it actually has a problem?

Yeah, and then you either never update again, or you lose everything when you do. Sounds great!
Backup the files, press BlocklandLauncher and update...
Take the files back to the folder.
Done. I think that's way better than using an add-on that seems to be broken anyway.

Loading an add-on during gameplay is not something that can be made to work reliably.  It may seem like it is working because the local host is more forgiving, but it will cause random crashes for remote clients.  It destabilizes the whole game because the engine is not meant to work this way.  Do not make or release things like this.

Isn't there some console thing that you can load add-ons?

Because Kalphs server, people use eval to load add-ons that aren't enabled because they don't want to restart the server.

Wait, what?
Hot air balloon?
Zepellin?
Pod racer?
Balloon?
Those exist?
Someone please link me.

•Adv. Server Filters

Where do I find this add-on
It sounds useful
Its broken now, it was released for Blockland sometime in v11 or 10.
It added filters like the following :Default Only, Default Music, Custom Music, and Has Addons.

Also for some people user content alpha crashes when loading a custom gui.

The Tau Battlesuit has a strange glow effect when shaders are turned on.

Why would you want to host a server that can be crashed just by hiting those vehicles with a hammer and then touching a brick?

Also I'll add the addons that are reported broken/bugged to the list.

server search doesn't work for me but i'm not sure why that is

Takato's weapons have always had that texture glitch IIRC. For me it's purple lines but whatever.
Also apparently the reason why they lag is the seven quintillion polygons or whatever.

Everything and anything you can do in the console, you can also do in scripts.

What's the micro buggy?

If this is the case I don't understand why they havent been CRCed for being too high quality for Blocklands engine.

What's the micro buggy?
Its a easily found vehicle through google, its low quality and has a very poorly modified jeep script.

I know it's broken, is there still a link to it
It might be fixable
