New ROFLbox announcements, TWO IN ONE!

The ROFLbox crew have recently posted two, rather intriguing, posts that you may find an interest in.

Firstly, the roflbox 0.5 public beta is up for download now.
Click here for the full post and download. PLEASE NOTE that the sandbox core is included as an attachment to the bottom of the post. IT IS REQUIRED TO USE THE ROFLBOX NETWORK!

That also reminds me! On the 24th of spetember, 2008, the Roflbox network was publicly announced of it's status:
UP AND RUNNING!
For all of the Rbox fans (who are pooping their pants with excitement), this is a glorious day. ROFLbox is now showing a promising future in the fast-growing world of sandbox mod mods. Please enjoy the following, triumphant post Gas made on the network's status;

"We are pleased to announce that the ROFLBox Network, along with it's partner website, is up and running! For those of you wondering what exactly the ROFLBox Network is, I'll tell you. The Network is an online creation saving and retrieval system, which enables anyone playing ROFLBox to save their creations and load them again later on any ROFLBox server running mod version 0.3 or higher. If you are familiar with saving groups on Sandbox, you won't have any trouble learning the new system. For simplicity, the chat commands to save and load groups are exactly the same.

Ingame Chat commands:

* @netsavegroup name - After you have a group selected, this command will tell the server to upload it to the network.
* @netloadgroup name - Will load a specific creation of yours from the Network for you to use on the server.
* @listgroups - Will list all creations you have saved on the Network. (handy incase you forget the name of a creation)


The Network doesn't end there, though. We have also created a web-based utility so players can manage their groups without being ingame. On the ROFLBox Network website, you can Delete or Rename creations, upload screenshots, share your creations with other players, and much more! To use the Rbx Network website, you have to be a registered member on the Death by Binary forums, which itself, is also a plus! :grin:

Server Owners: Curious how active your server is on the ROFLBox Network? There's also a utility to register your server on the Network to collect server-specific statistics on the performance of your server on the ROFLBox Network.

Check it out now if you have the chance! We've worked really hard lately to finish this project on time. I know I have put in dozens of hours and hundreds of lines of code into this, and am curious to know what everyone thinks. Your feedback is valuable, and will help us improve the system and add new features to it.
