I didn't say anything about making an add-on here. Besides, that wouldn't even be a problem if TorqueScript had a basic type system. Yes, I am going to blame that on GarageGames.

The problem with getting RTB Connect working is that Torque is a pile of crap. Besides, I think that RTB Connect is in the long run a waste of time and effort. With either Steam, MSN or any other chat application I can chat with other people (not only blocklanders who are actually in-game) while playing. There was one legit use for RTB IRC, namely one-time private chat with other people playing. That use is pretty much eliminated with RTB Connect (at least until you can start a private chat from the chat room (and even then it'll still be worse than the old IRC since being open to all chat requests is opt-in)). This means that the big feature in RTB4 which actually matters is an in-game mod manager with a default keybind that conflicts with Steam.
Congratulations on time well spent.

Cool, glad you signed up to a beta for something you see no value in. Looks like we have a new beta spot opening up. :cookieMonster:

Please note that I didn't say it was completely worthless but rather that it wasn't worth the time and effort spent.

Opinions, opinions.

Would it be possible to have a server communicate to a custom chat room under the host's ID? (but give clear indication that the server is posting said messages)
Not that there would be great use for it for the general public, but it may help me.
