RTB Development

[Jacob 123456789]

I've also requested an engine change from Badspot to help out with managing the focus of windows on the overlay since it's all a bit messy and hacky at the moment. The change should make things a lot more usable.

Coming in V20? :o

Ephi was gone and no one else approves files.
If one sits in the holding tank too long they are assumed to have an unfixed problem and get deleted.

It looks great,I might join beta if you can still use the mod manager.
Also how can you take down your add-on I want to take down one of the add-ons I uploaded as there redundant as of v19.

You can.

You have to ask him to remove it.

How to opt into beta?

That's been the plan since v19, and even before. Not like it was unmentioned. He's talked about how RTB 4 is currently using a hacky workaround until Badspot makes an update to make it work for a long time now.

Forget it , I cant opt in but I found a bug with normal rtb when you click the lower left tip of the go back bottom on the mod manager, it refreshes instead of going back.
I hope you remove any inactive Blockland users,but I wont think I'll be able to apply as Im going on a 4 day Vegas trip.

RTB4 Beta 4 just went out, I'm hoping this is the last beta before the release candidate as there's only a couple more things to do:

• Room management (less work than it sounds)
• Sending PMs to people who are not your friends
• Display a list of people you've recently played with when you go to add a friend
• Better management of modal windows so they can be displayed in places other than the main client menu
• Changes to make the client attempt auto re-connections

Changelog:

Code: [Select]

Connect Server:
 - Increased timeout period for pings and removed debug lines.

Client:
 - Changed description of default colorset and updated the default add-ons list.
 - Added option to close the overlay by using the escape key.
 - Escape key now cancels key bind attempt when changing the overlay bind.
 - Numbers/letters/symbols can no longer be used as binds by themselves.
 - Added /me and /action for chatrooms/private chats.
 - Added colored names in chatrooms - green for friends, orange for yourself.
 - Fixed incompatibility between RTB v4 and RTB v3.
 - Re-added GUI downloading and added checkboxes to the list of possible controls to download.
 - Fixed mission phasing to allow compatibility between v3.5 and v4.
 - Changed the invite management window to allow optional acception/rejection of selected people.
 - Unbinds RTB v3.5 irc binding automatically so it doesn't count as unbindable.
 - Added number of users in a room to the window title.
 - Re-added client/server authentication from v3.5.
 - Fixed dodgy resizing of user pane scrollbar in chatrooms.
 - Added support for MOTDs in chatrooms and the ability for the owner to change them.

 - Windows on the overlay now have their position and size saved for people with big resolutions.
 - Added indicator to show if a server is dedicated or not in a player's info.
 - Added 100ms pause before requesting new page of comments so that collapse animation always completes before the request can return data.
 - Added "datablock" variable type for server preferences.
 - Removed debug echos and testing prefs from the hook scripts.
 - Added chat logging for rooms and private chats.
 - Chat history now stored when you close a chat and is shown in grey next time you open one.

1: The missing /me bothered me for some reason. Good it's back.
2: Checkboxes for specific elements of a GUI... How does it regulate this?
3: Sticky Notifications?
4: You should have made it "Chat - RTB Connect" or something. RTB Connect sounds really nice, you shouldn't have to remove the name.
5: Does chat log to a file, or simply ingame? If it does have a log file, does it clear itself or can I keep it all?
6: Or is it only used like this?

3: Sticky Notifications?

Not sure, but I think it might be that automessage you get now for joining the chatroom.

[MegaScientifical]

I guess I'll just have to check.

2. Not sure what this means.
3. This means the notification hangs around at the bottom of your screen incase you're afk and goes away once you open the overlay. This is only used for invites/messages/friend invites.
5. It logs to /config/client/rtb/logs
6. That only displays previous messages from the current session - once you close BL they're gone.

added checkboxes to the list of possible controls to download

The above confuses me. That is stating you can specify what is allowed in a downloaded GUI? In either case, I just went over my game. Nothing was added to Network's list of what is downloaded, Options for RTB only has a checkbox to download GUIs, options in the buddy list also doesn't seem to have anything about downloads... Where is this?

[Ephialtes]

It's referring to the list of gui types that can be downloaded via RTB's GUI downloading feature. It didn't used to allow the download of checkboxes - now it does.
