The Future of RTB
<< < (13/18) > >>
Reactor Worker:
Glad to see RTB is set to become an official part of Blockland. The current roadmap looks good, but I have one addition I'd really like to see; an upgraded server browser.

The current server list is passable and the webpage version is decent but a better, "richer" browser could be built. Something more interesting to look at than plain text, but also more informative than isometric-auto-generated images. I've left this description deliberately vague as I think anyone capable of creating such an add-on probably has many of their own ideas on how it might work.

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.

I think a good way to go about it, is have users be able to go into the Holding Tank section - but with a disclaimer letting the user know that the Add-Ons in there are unapproved.

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.

Nobody ever said it was becoming default. It's going to become officially supported, or available as a free DLC.

i've wanted a server description feature for a while now
DrenDran:
so, can you invite users to your server though steam yet?

--- Quote from: Ephialtes on December 21, 2013, 07:00:11 PM ---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.

Thanks for this response! This sounds great.
