The Future of RTB

[Elitehoser]

It does however mean we could possibly do away with RTB logins and just use Steam accounts in the future which would be cool.

Sorry but I still don't understand this part. What is rtb logins exactly? Is that the part when we hit our RTB hotkey and our name to the right? When our ID Authenticates to the master server? The reason I ask is because I have no intention of switching to steam :/, which is why I'm so glad you put this post here. Sorry I'm just a bit confused :/.

I hope RTB can come with the Blockland download in the future, meaning when you download BL on Steam or wherever - RTB is there by default. I have another idea - drag and drop add-on's. All you'd do is drag the add-on's you'd want to use to your account on RTB and it'd be there. Best of luck, Ephialtes.

One of my main aims is to have RTB accounts sub-divided into the computers you play Blockland on - so you'd have a "Caribou's Desktop" and a "Caribou Laptop" if you play on a desktop and laptop a bunch. This would be great because it means:

• You could download add-ons to a specific computer (or even a dedicated server you manage) just from the download manager without having to be on that computer.
• Your controls, prefs, avatars and colors could be made available to all the computers you play Blockland on.
• Your save files could even be made available to all the computers you use.

And a bunch of other things.

Honestly, I'm more excited about RTB gaining official endorsement/being offered as a DLC than anything else. It's about time.

I'm still wondering why we need a BL ID to friend people.

[Passta Soup]

BL_IDs are a huge concept of RTB and are a lot more efficient to use than names.

I still dont understand why 'show BL_IDs in playerlist' is even an option. It should always be on.

If rtb becomes a DLC, can you make it turn that option on automatically?

There are some mods on the RTB site that no longer function properly as of v21 (such as the Apache- its roosterpit is completely solid so you can't see through it when shaders are on) that I think need to be removed if not fixed

i'm pretty sure the reasoning in the v11 (or w/e) topic was that it was to curb ID 'discrimination'

the idea is that IDists are idiots, and thus wouldn't go as far to find the show BL_IDs in the advanced options or whatever

it was kinda funny

I think we can all agree that while the process of reviewing add-ons using a hand picked team of experienced users who can assure the quality of all the content on RTB sounds nice on paper, the problems show themselves when the moderators get too busy to review or forget about it for a while, and add-ons get backed up for days, weeks, or in the unluckier cases, months. While quality assurance is what makes RTB better than the steam workshop could ever be, it may be better off to take a slight hit in that department if it means keeping up with the influx of content creators this influx of players will no doubt bring.

This is amazing and I cannot wait.

R.I.P.
Me being able to play BL on my laptop
(if RTB is default then I won't be able to play on my macbook cause RTB crashes me)
Though, if this isn't going to happen overnight or something, I should be good. Have plans to build a gaming Hackintosh
The showing IDs is needed for VCE and other mods that can be BL_ID-based. It's an important feature.

Oooh, sounds neat! Will friends, favorites, etc. be carried over in a transition?
