Bug - every addon is by Jincux and Nexus when pulled up in the larger addon viewer/downloader thingy

Fixed, thanks.

While transitioning sites I looked at the statistics collected by Glass and I was honestly shocked.

There's been 48,548 add-on downloads as of the start of this post. 21% of those downloads are old RTB content, and 7% of those are updates, leaving 34,433 downloads of unique content on the old site alone. Over the past 30 days, 653 unique BLIDs have reported using an up-to-date version of Glass. Of all accounts, 321 are registered and verified on the website.

I got the bill for the blocklandglass.com url renewal about a week ago, so based on the fact that the site opened a year ago, that's an average of 133 downloads per day.

That's about 5 times the downloads and 3-4 times the userbase I expected. This is certainly a big motivator to continue working on Glass 2.

Now we're on Alpha 4. I feel like daily releases are a bit much, but I'm really trying to churn this out by the end of the month.

Notable changes:

Comments
You can now leave a comment from in-game. Unlike Glass 1, you don't need a registered Glass account
Ratings
Ratings now work on the site and show correctly ingame. Unfortunately, I won't be able to move in the ratings from the old site as the formats aren't compatible. You can't rate ingame yet, that'll be next
Redesigned Boards View
The last one was ugly. This one is less ugly.
Search
One of the big goals of Glass 2, you can now search in-game. It'll get a little more complex after I implement tags

Probably some more smaller tweaks I forgot about. I'm not going to throw in the disclaimer this time that the alpha is unstable as I honestly believe that it's stable. That being said, we're still subject to bugs. I'm really looking for some feedback. Please let me know what you like, don't like, want to see added, etc.

The next release will likely be our first beta. There isn't much left to incorporate ingame other than the tags system and just cleaning up.

Looks much better, the other grid view seemed like kind of a waste of space and this one is much more navigable.

I need help, my BlocklandGlass System has an empty Preferences Tab, it's just so useless with that bug.. any help?!

Flowey · June 25, 2016, 09:46:04 AM

My Server Preferences arent working. It's not showing up and is showing the default Blockland server preferences. Can someone help me?

Scout31 · June 25, 2016, 10:05:32 AM

A bug transitioning sites cause Preferences to update to a new version incompatible with Glass 1. You can download the alpha a few posts up and that should work fine.

So just replace the old file with the new one?
