Yesterday they dropped a new beta for 1.4.5, so if Jeb doesn't break anything else, the answer is soon.

Even if I updated with the beta, though, waiting for the recommended build gives the plugins time to update to new stable builds as well. So it makes more sense to wait for that, for reasons besides having everything explode because lol it's a beta.

I don't know whether to respond with a copypaste wall of "YES" or to just be happy you're not updating when you say that it's unstable/going to be unstable.

Trust me, we've done this little dance before many times. Hard to believe that it's been over a month since 1.4 hit.

Is there a way to have two different versions of Minecraft in use? As much as I LOVE switching back and forth it gets tiresome.

The only way that I know of is to manually switch out the minecraft.jar files inside the /bin folder of your Minecraft installation. Juggling two or more versions of that file is the only way to play on previous versions without having to buy another account, or have a separate installation, etc.

Jeb doesn't really want us to play 1.4, it's just for decoration. :|

What about the flying plugin, can you still add that before we get a chance to update in a month or 2-3?

Unfortunately, it isn't a plugin. I was going to build a contraption that utilizes Command Blocks. I've already played around with the blocks offline, so now I need to test their compatibility with commands issued by the server. If it all works out, I plan on building a shrine of sorts around Spawn so players could obtain flight there.

The way that /fly has been working so far is pretty simple. Once imbued, it stays on until you leave the current world, or disconnect. So, it won't work in Adventure World. :p

Anyway, since this update is taking so damn long, I'll grant /fly to anyone that requests it when I'm online. Be warned: I'm usually on the Strafe Time Schedule. Results may vary.

But that makes no sense!

What kind of idiotic sense of logic does one have to have to do that!? That is an achievement upon stupidity! Why would you release an update that you didn't want other people to play?!

I PM'd Stuffman to get whitelisted on the server a couple of days back. Did he suddenly disappear? :ohdear:

Or maybe I screwed up and never sent the message.

It happens. I can help you in the interim, if you'd like.

Oh, shit, sorry. I check my PMs when I get home and usually don't get around to actually acting on them a few hours later. I just forgot.

Esper · « **Reply #611 on:** November 27, 2012, 12:49:39 AM »

I wonder, is the server compatible with things like a minimap mod?

DX7.EP · « **Reply #612 on:** November 27, 2012, 12:50:30 AM »

The commonly used Rei's Minimap is client-side only and thus compatible. Can't verify for other ones though.

Thank you kindly.

Sparda sent me a beta of the MC Server Civ V map to playtest - so I went ahead and started that. Prince (Normal, AI gets small advantages) difficulty, with only two aesthetics mods enabled too (for loading custom maps requires the game to be in mod mode - alas that disables multiplayer :<).

So far in mid-game, working with the Exuro AI to conquer Haku's area while dealing with unhappy populations and bleeding money. Along the way....

Ahahaha, this title! XD

Interestingly every civ has already researched Optics at game start. Considering that the tech enables (among other things) land units to embark on water, as well as the map being full of oceans, it's a good change.

Met Haku's empire very early. Come to think of it, I'd rather call the Desertmen Fremen.

His city's dangerously close to mine too...war seems imminent.

Not pictured: Wolf pack with Tyrant's Helms. :V

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Aww, I wanted Emperor Reimu and not this old hag. At least it wasn't Yukari

Demoman and Suika's favourite place. Met Pure's forces earlier but I didn't screenshot that.

Spelling aside it's workable fortress.

Not included: Stuffman and Cadmas (I haven't found any of their units yet).

Something is up with the server. Shady and I both timed out. Server is still active. After I got back in a few seconds after getting timed out, I fell through the ground to face the suffocation texture. Relogged and didn't fall through the ground, but chunks are hardly loading now, and EP notes that the livemap is loading slowly too.

EDIT: Server seems to be ok now. Don't know if it was restarted somewhere in that time gap or what.

EDIT 2: I spoke too soon. Getting some huge lag, and a connection reset as well. Least the chunks are actually loading now.

Dr.Strafe · « **Reply #616 on:** December 01, 2012, 09:38:03 AM »

I logged in to check on stuff. Things seem fine. The current players say that they haven't had many issues lately.

I've always had lag/disconnect issues since we went to 1.3. I just thought that it was my crappy computer/internet. :V

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #617 on:** December 01, 2012, 05:54:51 PM »

Ah, in that case, guess it was normal. I've never had it happen so that's why I posted about it. Thought a plugin was imploding or something. :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #618 on:** December 01, 2012, 06:35:55 PM »

I think it was unusual even for the 1.3.x lag issues, much more so than normal.

Think it occurred before, so it could be periodic/random latency spikes.

hey there. sorry if you don't remember me :V i haven't been on for a few reasons, one of which is because i haven't been in a MC playing mood and i also updated without backing up. i might join after the update.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #621 on:** December 04, 2012, 08:13:47 PM »

Need a backdated minecraft.jar? I have one available.

Stuffman · « **Reply #622 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:04:02 PM »

So, in response to some aggravated prodding on the forums, the Bukkit devs came out and said that the current beta build is stable but has not been promoted to RB simply because some new API functions have not been completed yet.

Obviously our plugins do not rely upon functions that do not yet exist, so I will be updating with the beta this weekend.

Agent of the BSoD · « **Reply #623 on:** December 05, 2012, 10:06:40 PM »

Yay, we can finally, like, be updated! (and do something about those withers) :getdown:

Yahoo! The anvil would prove very useful~
Looking forward to fight the Wither too, The beacon would be an interesting design idea.
And don't forget the new adventure world :3

So. :V I see business as usual is going on. I've been popping on at odd hours lately to check in, but looks like I was finally caught in the act.

Well, I had a falling-out with the rest of my family back home, so I decided to pack up and head out of state to start over. That was back in... what, late July? Anyways, I was in a rut for quite some time, seeing how I couldn't find work and had pressure still being thrown at me from back in Michigan. Ran out of savings eventually, but I managed to scrape by until I found work. By then, my interest in everything was pretty much dead, and I couldn't even find time to devote to keeping things like MC in balance.

That went on for long enough, but I finally managed to get the title for my car signed over to me. The whole story is something that would go better in Letty's, but I'll just say that I finally feel liberated and creative enough to possibly work on things again. With the server update coming up, I think it's a better time than ever to try.

SO WHAT'D I MISS :V

DX7.EP · « **Reply #628 on:** December 07, 2012, 07:14:36 AM »

Glad to see you're back and kicking!

As for the long story, feel free to post it in LJ, where we and other members can better express support.

Anyways, back to server....
Mostly we've been waiting on the 1.4.x stable Bukkit build, which came recently. Also Sparda's MC Server Civ V map project on the side, where the Infernal Republic gets the joy of being a playable civ (defaults to Danes). :V

Stuffman · « **Reply #629 on:** December 07, 2012, 03:06:54 PM »

Server is down for the update. It'll take most of the day, I'm making a full backup of the server (just in case everything explodes) and I'll have a lot of SCIENCE to do afterwards.
