Improved ToyboxI’ve been improving Toybox to better handle failed/slow downloads. The entire system has been re-written from scratch, so that downloaded content is now extracted in the background – which should mean that there will be little to no hitching when downloading lots of files, or big files.I also added a HTML control to Toybox since a lot of people were having typical website trouble – and wanted to refresh, or go back etc.. This should make it all feel a lot more homely.Removed Create Multiplayer GameThe Create Server option in the menu has gone, you can now create Listen servers through the Create New Game. The options for max-players, gamemode (etc) are accessible by pressing the wrench on the right of the window.Map DownloadsYou can now download maps directly through Toybox in the Start Game dialog. This feature is a work in progress, so it’s going to be going through some quite drastic changes as it fills up with new maps.To download a map, click on it. Once it’s downloaded (all the icons at the bottom have exploded) you can start playing it in the usual way.800×600 LoveIf you’re playing in 800×600 – I feel sorry for you. But I’ve tried to make it less crappy in this update by tweaking the spawnmenu so that it uses more of the available screen. Here’s before and after.It’s not a huge difference, one extra spawnicon row, but every pixel matters when you’re limited.I also added a little button on the top right, when you click it you get full screen, like this:Clicking it again puts it all back to normal. I’m guessing some of you guys will find this useful.
