Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

I take it lwc is working fine for everybody else then

 

just tried it, lets me create new protections...

 

Hmmm ill try in a bit, but before it would allow me to create protections but i couldnt actually assign them to anything.

 

hmod is updated, but the current build doesn't quite work yet according to this thread. They are working on fixing the problem though, so it's close now.
So, I will sit here F5-ing the hmod thread while twiddling my thumbs waiting for an update.

*twiddle*

 

thumbs arent the only thing j's been known to twiddle...

 

Oh you, you know me so well...

*twiddle*

 

you know, i do have a chest full of redstone awaiting use at battleships...

 

Ahh..yes, I noticed. I completely forgot to thank you for that, so; thank you.
Unfortunately MC lagged so badly for me this weekend it was entirely unplayable. So instead I resorted to AC: Brotherhood and socializing with the missus. I tried getting the gallery done properly, hanging paintings and sticking up signs, but as it took a full fifteen seconds for paintings to appear, and another ten for them to go away if I removed them, I rage quit and did something else. It was also horribly unstable with random crashes and lockups.


Additionally I did not receive my new graphics card saturday (damn slow postal service), so I suspect I will get it today, which means I will most likely lock myself away in my computer room tonight.

 

im curious why its so unstable for you. i havnt heard of any problems since the 1.3 switch. maybe you should try deleting your .minecraft files and let everything re-download?

 

Hm, maybe I should try that. I did run with a downgraded client for a while after all, and I were told that no-one else that I met on the server this weekend had similar issues. Ok, I'll reinstall my client and see what that does.

 

Hmm didn't realise there could be a protection mod..

Anything valuable I usually carry! I generally build with dirt and sand and tbh i wouldn't mind if somebody emptied my chest of them.. A protection patch is a good idea though for those who store a lot of tools/valuable/hard to find stuff.

On a positive note, I've been throwing small amounts of excess stuff into the chests near spawn

 

iChat can not do anything else but there is CraftIRC, which ports between chat and IRC. I did not think this would be used much so i never thought of setting it up It can be done though

That said, maybe i should also look into iConomy because i remember i promised that a while back. Have been busy with other stuff to be honest Is that still something people want? I really do not want to go through the hassle of setting this up if its completely unused.

 

I don't like the idea of having iconomy on the server. We rarely ever need to trade and good old fashioned barter works fine then.

 

Best thing to do if you have important stuff is have a one block chest, put it in the ground and then just build over it... for example on the server I use I have two block chests up a set of stairs that have cobblestone over the top =] hidden and safe

 

On an other note, i just found something today while checking if my Overviewer fix was (still) working



I would like to thank the creator of this fine work... I feel honoured!

 

Damn slow postal service!
Still no graphics card, and as I tracked it earlier I know it has arrived in town - they've just held it back at the sorting central! Damnit!

Anyhow, this means I now make another attempt at MC. Downloaded client again, but it is still unstable and lags horribly.

 

its not your system is it? are you prime95 stable?

 

Haha, could be - it's the missus' laptop. Haven't gone downstairs to my computer room as I know I will be irritated at the lacking national postal service.

 

my laptops probably older, but it wont play MC reliably either. java regularly stops responding then recovers, then stops, then starts...etc.

 

Yes, I see the point. However, this laptop has played MC perfectly well for quite a while - in fact, I've done most my MC creations on this machine. Weird, but now it is pretty much unplayable.
