Ooops. Turns out the content caching mechanism was identifying "description.txt" as content so people may have downloaded a zip file containing just a description.txt.

I'm re-caching all content right now so things might not be available for about ~10-15 minutes.

A note on content downloading in v3.4:

Normally when you join a server you need to download all the files the server has (all those models, textures and sounds) but with Content Downloading Blockland will download all those files from the RTB server instead which means it goes hundreds of times faster and allows you to download things you were never able to download before including:

• Water/sky textures for maps
• The preview image for maps
• Bricks

What's even better is you can then go to "Your Mods" in the Mod Manager and open the "Content-Only Add-Ons" category to see all the content you've downloaded. You can then either delete it or download the full add-on if you like it!

Nice you noted this we may never discover it xD
Also if an addon was uploaded in private will it be still downloaded?

No, this feature is only for public add-ons.

Very nice, just downloaded and it works well.

I didn't even know the was an RTB IRC PM sound! Also, good job.

RTB v3.4 is now available on the auto-updater. Here's a changelog:

Code: [Select]

Fixes:

 - IRC pm sound stopped working as of 3.3
 - Integers cannot be null via the pref manager anymore and inherit the minimum range value instead
 - Rewrote and designed the color manager to be more pretty, also contains better handling for strange cases
 - Strange issue where no mods would show up in the mod manager
 - Console errors from TransferQueue::removeItem
 - Removed redundant "warn/delete failed add-ons" options in Options dialog
 - Fixed errors when starting a server for a second time in one session (from re-registering rtb prefs)
 - Fixes automatic add-on updating from the main menu

Adds:

 - Content Downloading (when you join a server you'll download all the server's rtb add-ons and these are then put into a new category of the Your Mods window)
 - Unban button on the unban screen for super admins

I luv this. I just like the new GUI that let's you know ALL the add-ons that has updates. Hey, I thought a friend list was going to be added to 3.4 or is that RTB version 4? Oh well.

Does the content downloading system pay attention to your normal downloading preferences? The two things I have turned off in the networking options is downloading for sound and music, because I don't want to have to hear custom sounds and music when I'm in a server. Will RTB now download them when I join a server with them?

It won't download music ever but sounds will still download regardless.

in RTB 3.3 i could dowload stuff in Mod Manager but it wouldnt come up in my add-ons spot in Start New Game.
Was this fixed? Or does it just give you the ZIP in add-ons folder? Cookies for you if it was fixed!

LoL i went and found out for myself. It just gives you a ZIP in Add-ons Folder for me. And Ephialtes good job with the new Update!

Just ran RtB and my mod list is blank again except for ones I just updated.

My console was also filled wih this:

getSubStr(...): error, starting position and desired length must be >= 0: ("Add-Ons/weapon_Zeus/Description.txt",0, -1)
BackTrace: ->RTBMM_downloadUpdates->RTBMM_OpenModManager->Canvas::pushDialog->GuiCanvas::pushDialog->RTB_ModManager::onWake->FileCache::Refresh

ERROR: File "/Description.txt" is not in one of the default directories

One for each add-on I had.

Also, does RtB now auto-delete failed add-ons without warning or confirmation?

No, only disables them.

Code: [Select]

$RTB::Options::MM::AnimateGUI = 1;
$RTB::Options::MM::CheckForUpdates = 1;
$RTB::Options::MM::DisableFailed = 1;
$RTB::Options::MM::DownloadScreenshots = 1;
$RTB::Options::MM::WarnFailed = 1;

Can that be replicated and is it consistently an issue?

I don't know where people are getting this idea from. RTB has never auto-deleted, disabled or warned you about failed add-ons. I'd initially put options to disable/enable it but never implemented the functionality. This update removed the options.
