Author Topic: RTB replacement? (Read 1814 times)

ultimamax · February 08, 2014, 10:40:46 AM

Given that Workshop integration isn't being worked on (to my knowledge) a replacement should be written for RTB.

Features that steam does not offer:
Server Prefs
Auto-admin, granting admin
IRC
Server options
Add-on hosting

I know a bit of torquescript, but I'm definitely not experienced enough to write most of this. (I could probably make the server prefs GUI, but i'm a stuff designer)

If you are interested, reply. If you are already working on a replacement, talk about it here, so we can rally together some developers and make it happen.

edit: We could also recycle the source. We don't have his backend server code but I assume it's not too complex

bam

i'm sorry but if you think the major popularity of blockland is going to download that now that rtb is finished, you've got another thing coming! you'll only do the same and ~~give up~~ move on from blockland like the rest of us, steam is the best use now that Blockland has lost RTB.

Badspot mentioned that he'll probably start working in Workshop.

I hope this is a joke post. Of course people move on from things, that doesn't mean that whoever works on bam is destined to give up on it how Ephialtes did.

Besides, if it's developed openly, the bus factor would hopefully be bigger than 1.

If it was a joke, it wouldn't have been a very funny one.

Ephialtes didn't 'give up', hence why I striked out that phrase in my original post. Ephialtes is moving on, which the developers of 'bam' will be doing once they've got a job and a life to actually tend to. Steam is the way forward because it's easy to use and once Badspot has implemented the Workshop, it'll be so much easier to use and RTB will be fully replaced by an official system.

I'm not criticising 'blam' or whatever it's called, I just think it's pointless because it'll be either phased out by life or by Badspot updating Blockland to work with Workshop. I cannot be arsed to download several overlays for my client which'll probably be pointless in a couple of weeks or months.
