RTB Development
Jaydee:
Hey I've got an idea:
Server Information on loading. Much like the Infomaniac. The difference is its on the left side and it shows the server title, number of bricks, players, etc. Its just a small info while loading.
Ephialtes:
I'm a bit against any sort of idea that would further obscure the loading screen or general GUI space. Blockland started off with really clean, empty windows and minimal gui. Adding the infomaniac was arguably pushing that but I think he *kind of* fits in.
I'm planning to re-do the main menu for v4 to make it less obtrusive, I like the main menu much better without all the RTB links there if I were being honest.

Hmmm, kay.
-Jetz-:
Have you ever considered the idea of adding support for Infomaniac giving tips in-game, possibly triggered by certain add-ons to show how they work? It could be useful for less clear mod functions. Maybe have it so the add-on registers its tips with a title and context, and then could easily tell it to display it to a client when they pull out the weapon or switch to the playertype or access the add-on in some way. On the client side, registered tips could be saved for future reference, and in-game, you could have a check box to not display them again.

And have an option in the RTB Options to disable those tips completely, if wanted.
That actually sounds rather useful in some ways, it would probably really help the new people.
