change the name of the service.
you cannot use the "return to blockland" name. there's no ifs, ands or buts about it, you have to change that stuff like asap. it doesn't matter if "that's what it is", you can't use the name. at all.

The name stays. Sorry.

Next up: Custom SEND button in the chat bubble, and custom buttons for saving and loading groups. Might add some sounds too.

Currently the disable and enable add-on sounds in the mod manager are also just a "tick" noise. I will change them to use the synth sounds (low pitch for disabling, high pitch for enabling)

Im sure Badspot would have failed this then already, seeing as how he has been on and failed add-ons since I posted this.

He even fail binned something in the faces and decals section, and I RARELY see that happen.

[otto-san]

ok nvm it does indeed state that this is a "modified RTB"

It's not Badspot that made the 'No using RTB's name' rule. It's Rotondo that made the post about it. Don't give me any crap about how 'he would have already failed this', Rotondo isn't one of the more active administrators and he appears to be the one mainly enforcing the rule. I would really suggest changing the name now while you have the chance if you want it to stay on the forums, because sooner or later it's going to be noticed and it will probably cause a huge fiasco.

[Acerblock]

Why are you so closed off to suggestions?

[otto-san]

i would like to point out

Fed up with broken remakes, I set out to make an RTB of my own.

this is an entirely fluff statement because a) this is not an RTB of your own (assuming this means a functional RTB successor since anything else would categorise under a remake), b) this is, indeed, a "broken[/poor] remake"

Although I have respect for him for implementing shaders and the dayCycle,
Rotondo isn't the one who created Blockland or these forums.
If this were to be failed, it would be for a reason (ex: back door code, console errors, etc)
Not because of the name of the add-on.

There is no back door code.
The only console error I get is when I click on the GRTB IRC main chat tab
"SimSet:Member: is not an object"
which I know has something to do with the tab being "active"
I'm working on a solution.

Why are you so closed off to suggestions?

I'm not. I changed the infomaniac like people suggested, and I improved the mod manager Ui as requested. But I am not changing the name of the mod unless I decide to, or if Badspot tells me to

this is, indeed, a "broken[/poor] remake"

How is it broken? All the other "remakes" aside from DaProgs gives quite a few console errors.
even DaProgs gives console errors upon start up

Add-Ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/interface/mods/addOns.cs (25): Unable to find object: 'AddOnsGui' attempting to call function 'delete'
BackTrace: ->onStart->serverPart2->initClient->loadClientAddOns->interfaceFunction

Missing file: Add-Ons/System_ReturnToBlockland/interface/colorManager.gui!

Please read your console.log

[otto-san]

the poor insert was added for a reason

maybe it should've read "[poor] remake" instead

regardless the rest of my statement remains true; b was subjective

[Advanced Bot]

Just make an original name for your mod. It's not that difficult to do. Remakes of RTB is weak.

Thats forgeted up lol. You call this a poor remake yet other "remakes" give console errors upon starting Blockland. Do you read your console sir?

Although I understand your point

mate it's about more than just console errors

i understand that you likely put in a fair amount of effort here but you have to look at the end product as a whole. this is a poor redesign and it didn't really need to exist in the first place. you have to bring more to the table than UI redesigns and noises, especially if you're claiming absolute superiority over other mods seeking to achieve the exact same thing with legitimate weight behind them.

if that console error was from DAProgs's version, i would also like to point out:

I have currently left in all RTB functions as I will probably add support for them too if people chose to use this.

As stated this is beta, so I am still rebooting the server quite often as I am adding/fixing it.

your claims need meat behind them that simply isn't there. in fact, you've well nearly just taken the meat from someone else's bones and decayed it.
in addition, you've proven to be unnecessarily defensive and closed-minded to input, which is toxic to improvement, and, ultimately, causes you to be left behind regardless of what fantastic product you could produce and present.


edit: my thoughts on the whole rtb name thing: rot was referring to completely new mods using the RTB name. this is not a new mod; this is an RTB redesign and it would be incredibly immoral and disrespectful to lay claim on it as your own

[PowerDag]

rotondo did, he's a global moderator. i don't see how that's not good enough for you, you have to have the head honcho specifically to tell you to change the name.

the person who made this rule doesn't matter. so long as they're in a position of power, their say goes, to a reasonable extent. at this point, you are literally just refusing to change the name out of pure spite for the people giving you advice.

in my personal opinion it's even worse, what with the rest of your post. slander, if you will.

[Goth77]

It is? Also, tell that to the others.

Im not claiming "absolute superiority" over them. I am simply stating facts.
GRTB is more light-weight and saves and loads groups more efficently.
Oh, and there are no console errors upon startup.

It's been out for quite sometime and he still hasn't fixed these simple console errors.
Do you think he will anytime soon?

Exactly
