Minecraft - f13 Server is: chugging along... again (Read OP)

[NiX]

I found not holding down the button to dig helps. If you destroy a block, give it 1sec and then dig the next. Impractical, but it helps.

I've been using similar workarounds by running through each block. This doesn't work on trees, and it's becoming a nuisance when I have to dig up at least 5,000 stone to finish off the project. I'll crank on it some periodically throughout the week, but I hope the issue gets resolved by the weekend.

[Sheepherder]

Jealousy is a bitch. Don't forget to read his post from the 12th, it only gets better!

The Dwarf Fortress "community" is undergoing a witch hunt at the moment, it looks like.

Which is funny, because grandmaster neckbeard doesn't seem to care too much, aside from pushing out updates at a pretty furious pace.

[tgr]

How much tinfoil is in that guy's hat? I mean, seriously:

http://codergames.com/news/games/alexa-traffic-rank-service-fishy/

[Malakili]

Ok, I'm officially not clicking on any more links that go to that site.

[tgr]

Just to avert a few more hits on his site, this is how bad his paranoia is:

Alexa traffic rank service is very fishy.
Although I'm getting more and more unique visits based on Google Analytics report, my Alexa traffic rank is getting worst. Instead of getting lower (better rank) the Alexa traffic rank number is getting higher. And this especially happened when I got thousands of visits per day disclosing TIGsource scam circus.

On top of all of that, the visitors of my site are profiled as people of 45-54 years of age, mostly males with a low confidence in my site. The Alexa is actually suggesting to you that my site is not to be trusted and that its not a popular site. Many people will believe in this crap. Seriously, what kind of an unfair service are they running? And who the heck are they anyway? What kind of people would do something like that?

This is an obvious proof of another scam and that the monopoly runs so deep that only a total demolition of them would change things on this planet. Roots of that sort of monopoly are deep and strong. Basically, they're slamming each and everyone who are not a part of closed-circle of secret communities / societies. My site is not even present in their directory / fake search engine. I never was a part of that and never will be. Alexa is probably another Illuminati creation made to affect / change public opinions in the most deceiving manner.

Instead of providing neutral data / or no data at all, about my site, they're actually providing false data, deliberately, driving people away from my site. What a bunch of evil entities.

I'm gonna continue disclosing facts and truths about how deep the rabbit hole goes, waking you up. Stay tuned! Together, we'll destroy evil, you'll see!

I don't care if it's really true or not, but jeez he makes it sound like he's one of those idiots who head out into the bush to live off the land "becuz dat damn gubment" or whatever.

[Paelos]

Time to tell him to grab a gun and head to the nearest tower.

[Malakili]

Strikes me just as pure attention whoring at this point, its hard to be that crazy.

The internet has become this torrent of water that'll polish the dirt off many a turd to reveal the crazy neckbeard inside.

[Lantyssa]

Time to tell him to grab a gun and head to the nearest tower.

A tower he could build himself if he played Minecraft!

Also a ringing endorsement of Alexa, since their system seems to be working perfectly.

[Hutch]

He could build the tower out of TNT, and launch himself at his enemies!

It's not Alexa, buddy.

Good job.

Kind of makes me think of:

[Malakili]

Its a reference to some doll from a couple years back that said things like "goo goo ga ga" and some parents thought one of the noise combos it made sounded like "Islam is the Light" and it was like, recalled from Wal Mart and stuff.   Never heard it myself, but it sounds like a bit of crazy creeping in (which I guess is the link to the current discussion).  I leave it to that so this doesn't get politicsified.

[Teleku]

In particular, it turned out the same lady who claimed the doll said Islam is the Light, later filed another complaint saying a Nintendo DS game also was telling her daughter Islam is the Light.  The Comic was making fun of that level of craziness, where its every one else that must be wrong, not you.  Which reminded me of this guy. 

Sorry, guess if you don't know the back story it doesn't make sense.  But it really was the first thing that popped into my head as I was reading his stuff.   

[NiX]

Hrm, I found it funny because there's a hotdog saying "Islam is the light!"

NBTEdit
Edit the structures of NBT formatted files (level.dat). More power than most of us need, but I found it useful
for changing player location.

Was using Minecrafter but lately is broken.  Waiting for integrated texture-replacement.

[Paelos]

Any updates on the deconstruction bug?

[NiX]

He's working on it and it'll  be fixed in the next update.

Ah, did he have a timetable on that, or is it one of those "when I'm done" things with no estimation?

[Yegolev]

I determined that texture replacement is already integrated.  I'm a super sleuth.  Still like Doku RPG best.

[NiX]

Early next week. He hasn't started resolving the block issue yet, but he did fix leaves for the next update!

[Bzalthek]

If he keeps this up he could land a job with Blizzard! /snark

My son actually has this doll.  Now I'm not a believer in "secret messaging" and the like, but damn if it doesn't actually sound like "Islam is the Light".  It's pretty different from most of the other sounds it says.  I can totally see how some fundamentalist might get all freaked out by it. 

Here's what it sounds like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRXKkc3fqd0

For a one man programming team to be delivering updates weekly means he's been eating nothing but fucking Ramen for the last seven days.  Cut the guy a little slack.

[Bzalthek]

Way to jump on the defensive from a little snark and sarcasm, Crusader Blanco

[Tarami]

He should drop the idea of posting weekly updates. They're just going to get more and more buggy.

He pretty much has. These aren't guaranteed updates like the Friday ones.

Status of SMP Health

The few hours I’ve been able to work today, I tried getting SMP Health as complete as possible. It will be released early next week.

Here’s the status:

* Send attack network data: DONE
* Add the ability to attack other entities: DONE
* Implement falling damage: NOT STARTED
* Implement respawning for dead players: PARTIALLY DONE (there are bugs with the player keeping the current location in some circumstances instead )
* Make eating food regenerate health: DONE
* Send health updates to the players: DONE

The “attack entities” code is done on a general level, so you can hurt animals, monsters, boats, carts and even other players.

There are a couple of other tweaks in the next update as well:

* Fix leaves. Again: DONE
* Optimize the lighting update slowdowns: STARTED
* Make players riding carts or boats a long way receive terrain updates: DONE
* Fix the block re-spawning bug: NOT STARTED
* Add “pvp” toggle flag to the server settings: NOT STARTED.

[Paelos]

Glad about the leaves. The block respawning thing should be top priority IMO.

[Yegolev]

Not looking forward to falling damage.
