RTB Development

I've had it load in a tab next to the Blockland Forums since this topic was still active as a jack rabbit about an upcoming beta test...

Mine is in a tab set to refresh every 30 minutes.

I wouldn't go that far, it's not that active/worth it. I just make sure the page always opens itself for me.

Just finished the implementation of the chatroom system and tested it with someone. Once I get it fully sorted I'll push this out as another (possibly final) alpha. It's very basic at the moment - it just supports the basic necessities but I will work on getting it more fully fitted out during the course of the beta.

There are a couple of seemingly random crash bugs happening at the moment which I can't seem to narrow down to any specific bit of code, or even replicate reliably. If you join the beta you will probably have to put up with this until I can find out what's causing it.

I've got a new alpha prepared for a release this weekend for the alpha testers. This features chat rooms including per-room configurable settings.



There's still a bit more to do functionality-wise with the chat rooms but it is at a releasable point right now.

The crash bug still exists but I've had Badspot manage to replicate this on a debug build and it appears to be something out of my control at the moment. If he gets a fix together it should be in v20. I'll probably release a beta before then anyway, so you guys will have to just not complain about any random crashes.

Really cool.

I'm looking forward to it.

[Furling]

I can't wait!

[Crysist]

V20 and next Alpha release? Hooray!

You know it kind of annoys me how new fixes get made to help RTB work but nothing is ever added for other modders, only removed.

There is actually some of us out there who don't abuse everything we're given. Only some of it.

Couple more things for the alpha ... I've added limited room "management" functionality which consists of being able to kick/admin/de-admin people. Room creation hasn't been added yet so an interface for room management isn't really necessary at this point. Eventually you'll be able to manage your admin/mod/ban lists as well as room access.

I'm going to push out the alpha tonight when I get back from work and depending on how things go, I'll be opening up the beta at some point on Saturday.

;~; If there's another snag, we'll all die.

A cool feature would be to upload mods to RTB directly from Blockland.

I'm not sure if that's worth the effort. It's not like you can make .zips in game anyways. You're making the add-on outside of Blockland so you might as well upload it outside too.

Ephialtes, 2 things. 1, who are the alpha testers. 2, (and more important), do you think RTB4 will be out before 2012.

2) Hopefully now speed has picked up.

I'm defiantly getting the beta.
