RTB Development

Ephialtes, I sent you PM with feature request a while ago. Could you consider it for v5 please?

If you've got suggestions please put them in the thread or in the Suggestions forum. It's a much better way to get community feedback on the idea too.

The problem is I have no longer this PM and kinda forgot those, so if you could go to your pm box and repost it there, I'd be grateful. Also liked your build on Badspot's server. Very cool.

I was just thinking what a huge advantage these user-owned chat rooms would be for clans.
Is that the main reason you added them?

[Ephialtes]

There are huge advantages across the board to adding player-run chat rooms. It was always my intention to add them eventually.

How long processing approve my mods?

RTB Buffet could very well be the creation of something incredible in Blockland; the ability to load user created saves from an ingame browser would not only aid others in their own skill; but make the creation of things like city gamemodes and major builds 100x easier.

Of course you're taking another user created build, and the community still looks down upon this; I'd love to see this change.

Also; something I hope to see fixed by the next update.

rtb buffet sounds like a great way to share maps thanks to the tags

I hope you have plans for required add-ons as well.

Exactly - I think by having it all publicly accessible with credit clearly given people are going to chill out a bit about "build theft" and if the original owners don't want to upload their stuff for fear of "theft" I'd like to think others would and credit them appropriately.

Yep as mentioned, the save provides clues I can use to get a 99% accurate idea of what bricks, color set, weapons etc. a save will require to be present in order to load.

How soon do you think this update will be out?; I'd love to put a ton of builds together and create a massive salvage-type gamemode for my server; while I still have time on it.

Would Buffet download it directly to the server, or would the client download it first and then transmit it like a normal save upload? Attempt both?
Oh, and will there be a good way to specify offsets when loading stuff? (nevermind, answered in the OP)

[Ephialtes]

The client would basically tell the server to download item X and then give it to the client's player. This does mean the server has to be running RTB, but most do: http://returntoblockland.com/stats.php?p=servers

[Tertahedron]

Do you make those graphs? I want one for the brick and player count on my site.

I'm not able to join servers through the RTB interface since it went down, it always skips the first octet of the IP address.
