RTB Development

[Ephialtes]

Not currently. I'll be looking to allow private message sending/receiving from ingame and at that point it may be appropriate.

So, question, with all this RTB business going on, are you ever going to be working on ERPG?

That one that Ephi advertised out the ass with his Infomaniac tip system?

I was wondering this too, what's it gonna be about?

Thats pretty much it, except there is a picture of the raft out there.

I won't be touching ERPG for a while until I get RTB to a stable position. I've still got the passion to do it (as does TheGeek last time I checked) so whenever we've both got the time we may start looking at it again. Anyway this is a thread for RTB development, ERPG is irrelevant.

Just a little RTB update, I've been trucking along with the RTB Connect client and I've figured out a secure way of allowing users to register for a Connect account from in-game. The original plan was to go to the forums to create your account.

The main issue was that another add-on would intercept your password as you registered and steal it - so now I've made the registration process generate a password for you and download it as an image. This is impossible for another add-on to intercept or read. Passwords will only be used when you want to login to RTB Connect from outside of Blockland - when connecting within Blockland all you need to send is your Blockland ID and Name.

Wouldn't people fake their name and ID that way?

[Ephialtes]

There is authorisation on the server that makes sure the ID and Name they are sending are actually theirs.

How? Check for IP?

Im sure it just checks your Key and Name to see if they match up

Badspot created an API for Ephialtes, so that RTB can search up an ID and return an IP, and vice versa.
If the ID's IP matches the IP requesting a certain feature, then it's a go.

Otherwise, the response is "RTB could not verify you as a Blockland user" or something of the sort.

This is gonna be an awesome update.

Does that means that we also can use the API?

Yes, Bad news is the release date is going to be very far away. I'll try and release RTB 3.3 at some point but I have a feeling it'd actually negatively affect performance generally, given the way the RTB 3 mods have been setup.
