RTB Development

[Ephialtes]

Is there anything new in the area of server control, or is that largely staying the way it was in 3.0?

I haven't had time to look at it much yet since this chat system is eating up a lot of my time, but I do have plans to improve it. There will be a few bug fixes for it in 4.0 though.

So far the beta is going okay, the pesky crash bug is pissing a few people off but I have a moderately hacky hack I'm going to implement to mitigate that since it's more an issue with Torque memory corruption than RTB's coding.

Oh... that makes sense I suppose.

I did notice that whenever I run a dedicated server and I try to edit things like the welcome message, it only applies them temporarily but the settings don't save once I restart the dedi server. I have to either edit in single player or do it manually. Dunno if that was reported yet...

[Ephialtes]

I've never heard of that, I'll take a look into it.

What are you entering into it?

My welcome messages usually include a basic color format of the text... something like:

<color:FFFFFF>Welcome to IcyGamma's server.

You have to close the server normally, not forcefully.
As in, use quit(); instead of just hitting the X.

[Ephialtes]

RTB exports preferences after anything gets changed just incase, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Ah okay.

[Ephialtes]

I've fixed a bunch of crap in Beta 1 and the last thing left to do is add the options dialog back in with the ability to change the pesky keybind then I'll push Beta 2 out. Hopefully that'll be tomorrow some time.

[Ephialtes]

Almost done with the options dialog, I removed a few useless old settings from v3 like being able to disable RTB's auto-updater.



I hope to have another update by Friday night (GMT).

I like the fact RTB has its own unique look but its still sympathetic to the default GUI.

Is RTB's presence on the main menu completely replaced by the overlay or...?

[Ephialtes]

I've removed everything from the main menu except the RTB version and logo in the top right corner. It felt like RTB was way too dominating on the Blockland menu and I much prefer how simple and spacious the default menu looks without RTB installed at all.

I may even ditch the logo/version from the main menu when I get around to styling the overlay correctly. It seems unnecessary to have it there, provided there is some form of acknowledgement that RTB is actually installed.

[Sheath]

I see.
It'll be weird with all the space back. :I

[Pentium]

:I
I prefer having everything in the main menu; it's much easier to access.

[Ephialtes]

You'll get over it. It's one key press to be able to get to the RTB menu and that also means everything is accessible within a server too which wasn't always the case.
