Add ons hard to install?

You obviously weren't around during v8
Oh yes, installing add-ons in V8, so annoying (and difficult at first)

I think making dedicated servers should be easier, and less hassle. Like a tick-box, when you tick it, the server you launch is dedicated
Much easier and less risky then having to enter a terminal command. That should be in V13

On the topic of downloading add-ons from servers, there is a new feature in the pipeline from RTB that allows you to download all the rtb add-ons a server has directly from the RTB server. This means they download crazy fast and you don't have to sit there waiting to get each single file from a server with a home upload speed.

You can just recommend RTB to all your friendies and make BL easier for everyone.  :cookieMonster:

You fail to see the meaning of a dedicated server.

Is it possible that it could just download the normal folder stuff that's needed to join servers?
I don't want to have a massive add-ons list to sift through, nor do I want to wait several minutes waiting for it to check if they're all valid.

Yeah, RTB add-ons downloaded directly from the server would be content-only zip files.




there is a tutorial on the menu Dammit

Sounds, Very Epic.

After using the tutorial, I understood the basics of Blockland. But, after creating my own server, no one would come! Soon I found out that it was because my server was "dead". After following instructions on how to fix that, it would not work. To this day, i can not create my own server.
It always shows up dead to anyone on the same network as you. You have to quick Query LAN. Hurr durr.

Installing add-ons... Why so hard? Why not make it possible to add add-ons to Blockland easier? I know there's RTB, but not EVERYONE knows about it. Blockland should add a system to add user generated Add-ons from the forum much more easier.
You drag a .zip into a folder. That's not hard.

The rest, I agree with.

He did the tutorial dammit.

Just download stuff to your Add-ons folder.
Is that so hard?

Cant you just go to console and type 'canvas.pushdialog(RTB_ModManager);' to open the mod manager in game.

EDIT: Code fix.
