Since RTB was shut down, we've had no way to do many of the following without using a stripped down version of the RTB client:
- Have "Auto-Admins"
- Change certain default prefs without restarting
- Change/Register custom prefs for mods
- And basically everything else that Server Control added. We really took that thing for granted, didn't we?
To be honest, I've never liked the look of the default admin menu. The default
minigame menu gives you more control. So, I've come up with a solution - a complete remake of Blockland's Administration Menus and systems, with a focus on ease of use, compatibility with those using the default system, and lots and lots of new functionality.
Is it any better than the default admin menu and RTB's server control?It's much simpler;
- The clear bricks menu and the player functions menu are now combined, so the Turbo menu will always show players who have left as well as players who are present.
- Turbo lets you save your preferences and reload them, without having to manually change everything.
Screenshots so far...Early prototype:
FAQQ: How will Turbo maintain compatibility with the default admin menu?
A: Very simple. If you have Turbo, and join a server using the Turbo administration system, your Admin menu will be the Turbo menu. Otherwise it will always be the default menu. Since there's nothing the default menu can do that Turbo can't, those on a Turbo server without the Turbo client will be able to use their own menu as normal.
Q: Will Turbo prefs be compatible with RTB ones?
A: Yes. RTB_registerPref will add preference entries to Turbo's menus, though use of Turbo_registerPref is recommended instead.
Q: What about the default blockland menus? Change Gamemode, etc?
A: Turbo will just link you to those when required.
Q: Are there different levels of access?
A: Turbo still uses the normal admin categories - Host, Admin and Super Admin. Future updates may change this.
Q: And what does Turbo add, exactly? Are there any new things I can do?
A: Turbo doesn't give admins any more power over players than they need. I'm considering adding Mute functionality, though, if anyone's up for it.
Q: What about mods that modify the default admin menu? Won't Turbo break those?
A: Turbo is a mod that replaces the default admin menu entirely. It is impossible for compatibility to be ensured.
