RTB Development

[Butler]

Would it be possible for RTB to go through one's Add-On folder and delete every Add-On that does not have a server.cs?

No

No

Ha, sigquote'd.

Delete all prints, maps, client-sided add-ons?

When we're at it... Would you add so crap-ons and bad-ons would be deleted? Even if it would make fewer people use RTB...

[Space Guy]

There's an "Auto Remove Failed Add-Ons" option for RTB but it doesn't do anything yet.

[mctwist]

Oh forgot about that one...

Prints folders have a server.cs

Ok, let me clarify more:

Would it be possible for RTB to go through one's Add-Ons folder and delete every folder that does not have a server.cs or a client.cs?

[Chrono]

There goes maps.

How about anything that doesn't have a .cs, .mis, or .gui file?

[mctwist]

Or even better: Why don't go through the folder looking for add-ons that is not correct validated with the built-in Blockland add-on verifier?

How about you suggest what functionality you want and I'll work out the logistics. I imagine you're wanting a feature to delete all server-downloaded files?

[Truce]

I imagine you're wanting a feature to delete all server-downloaded files?

Would it be worth having RTB remove all server-downloaded files not accessed after a certain time limit? It would have to be a rather lengthy one (a month or two), but it would help clean up any add-ons that ended up getting failed or just aren't used anymore. I ask if it's worth it because the space freed up wouldn't be all that much, even for people with lower-end machines.

[Ephialtes]

There's no functionality as far as I know for removing a folder (as opposed to just a file) so it'd still leave a bit of a mess in the add-ons folder anyway.

[Ephialtes]

I've just done a first test of the content downloading, it seems to work really and is very fast. It's a bit of a temporary hack since the v3 code is not well suited to doing this but it works. I'll be making it nicer in v4 when that rolls around.

[KINEX]

Is there any system planned to update add-ons for a dedicated server startup with RTB? I know I mentioned this before but I would like to know if this was in the works.

[Ephialtes]

I plan to look closely at dedicated options in v4, especially for people with no graphics card. There need to be options to allow them to change colorsets etc.
