ShadowZero:
Can you allow mod manager users to see change logs for add-ons?

The contents of the RTB 'cache' files are attached. The first is normal and looks fine. (it worked until I clicked it in-game) The other I can't tell, it loads and abruptly disappears when I try and view it in the browser, but opens half of it in MS Paint with the rest black.

Is that something that can be replicated? It looks like you may have navigated away from a mod page mid-loading because the screen.png has two png files inside of it including http headers which indicates a flag wasn't reset properly or the screenshot downloader was never re-created.

It's on the list of things to do.

In regards to GUI/Content downloading:
I haven't played around with it too much just yet, but I've been working on a mod for a littile while that utilizes RTB's GUI downloading to provide an easy-to-use interface for the clients. However, I've considered adding bitmaps to the GUI to make it look much nicer, which I saw RTB supported sending to the clients. From what I can assume, RTB won't actually download the images the GUI elements refer to if the client doesn't have them (stop me here if I'm wrong on that).
Is there a way to utilize RTB content downloading to ensure that the users download the images? I know I could do it through the default Blockland procedure, but some users have download textures turned off, and as far as I know, there's no easy way to check that server-sided. I already make sure they have GUI downloading enabled in order to join the server, but I now have two questions: First, if I upload a private add-on, despite it being private, are users still able to download the texture files through RTB? Secondly, is there a way to check if the user downloaded content without modifying RTB?

Looking forward to RTB4.

Ditto on what he said.
It would also be very VERY helpful to be able to update the text values on controls of the GUIs that get downloaded.
