RTB Development

[Ephialtes]

It won't initially. There's some added complexity to get binary file transfers working correctly.

Just use the modManager. :P

What about having an option (defaulting to off) to go straight to the mod manager when clicking the add-ons button when starting a server?

[Ephialtes]

Ideally I'd like to work out a solution to entirely replace that add-on window. I'll be putting a lot more thought into the interface of the mod manager for v4 since functionality is kind of mashed wherever it will fit and not carefully planned as I'd like.

Coolest way would be like the new steam library "grid" view. RTB automatically detects "rtbGridIcon.png" as the image and displays it in the menu. You click on the icons to turn them off/on, with off icons being "grayed out" using swatches. You can resize all the icons from a slider. If there is no grid icon in the add-ons folder then the image is some sort of default grid icon image that come with RTB pertaining to the add-on's category.



If you're not going to play with this idea then I'll probably just make an add-on that does it myself.

I don't think that'd be very effective when people have upwards of 100-200 add-ons installed.

You can separate it by pages? I think its stupid to put all add-ons in one place since it uses too much effort on your computer. Also its a cool idea though. :D

Or add a start game option to the mod manager. Like a map picker, server name, server password thing in the mod manager so we don't have to pick which one to use.

You could make a category section like that and when you click on it, it takes you to the list of items that belong to that category.

If this thing's gonna be called Blockland Cloud then here's a quick logo I did:

That's really, really bad.

[ApplePiePod]

Constructive criticism much?

Constructive criticism much?

No. Marcem's reply was fine being that you didn't try.

[ApplePiePod]

Didn't try?
My ass.

Try looking closer. Jesus.

Effort HAS gone into this, have any of you actually viewed it on a dark BG?

Make it eye-friendly, and with eye-friendly I mean that you should make it so you don't have to change/copy it to a black background.

Please bear in mind that the main menu of blockland is relatively dark, most of the time.

I'll render a version on black if you like.
