i downloaded rtb and put it in my addons folder and it didnt work |
| Space Guy:
You might be able to use the 'content file downloading' of RTB as well as the GUI downloading to get the bitmaps transferred. I'm not sure of the requirements, though. (Server mods only? Used in datablocks?) |

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? --- End quote --- Not currently. Images are binary files which Torquescript doesn't have the capability to read or write so a server-to-client solution is not workable. I'm working on a more generic file hosting solution for RTB at the moment which could be used to allow for downloadable images within the gui downloading system but it would always require those images be somewhere on the RTB system. There is no feedback report for which files got downloaded through the content downloading, you're only able to see whether the client skipped the entire process or not - like the gui downloading. |

I was considering putting all the image files into a .zip and packaging it as an "add-on", then making sure the users joining have RTB content downloading enabled so that they can receive the images that way. My one concern was that if I just put it up as a public add-on, people would try downloading it through the website / mod manager, thinking it's a normal add-on they can use in their server. If I put it on as a private add-on, will users still be able to download the images when they join my server via content downloading? Or is that disabled for private add-ons? |
