    I'm proud to report that due to several hours of my mediocre programming we have a backup system in place. I plan to make the frequency of backups settable in the settings tomorrow, but currently its once an hour.

    posted a message on Failed to connect to own server while on own IP-fixed
    Yes, I used the correct link (The one provided at the bottom of the page) I just get an endless "Connecting..." then telling me it cant connect. What is the cause of this? Ive tried with both notch's server and a custom server. Done on own computer with MinerCPP and a different computer (Same IP) with the defult server.

    -Defult server still doesn't work but I havent tried it in a bit, custom works fine. Nevermind.

    posted a message on TNT multiplicity
    Basically whenever TNT explodes it checks around it in a small sphere (2 blocks each way?) and if others blocks are detected they explode also, however their explosion is slightly bigger then normal. For example:
    (tnt is where the TNT was, log is blast radius)


    :soil::soil::soil::soil::soil::log::soil::soil::soil::soil::soil:
    :soil::soil::soil::soil::log::log::log::soil::soil::soil::soil:
    :soil::soil::soil::log::log::log::log::log::soil::soil::soil:
    :soil::soil::log::log::log::log::log::log::log::soil::soil:
    :soil::log::log::log::log::tnt::log::log::log::log::soil:
    :soil::soil::log::log::log::log::log::log::log::soil::soil:
    :soil::soil::soil::log::log::log::log::log::soil::soil::soil:
    :soil::soil::soil::soil::log::log::log::soil::soil::soil::soil:
    :soil::soil::soil::soil::soil::log::soil::soil::soil::soil::soil:

    If we add a tnt next to this block, we get the resulting hole:



    Now my plan is to make it so that every TNT next to the blocks uses a exponential function. One like (1.5sqrt(x))+4, however with more of a top off, x representing added blocks.

    Now this isnt perfect. the desired outcome would be more along the lines of 1=4, 2=6, 3=7,6=8. Then the rest have no effect.



    This will allow awesome warehouse full of TNT explosions, but its exponential-ness will make it less abusive. Like you cant blow up the entire map.

    The only thing I have to say is that although I highly don't believe in the Church, all I can say is that how can my **** and a vagina be.. Erm... Let's just say, how can cellular diffusion, cell respiration, photosynthesis, veins, cells, digestive system, working limbs, fertilization, milk production, two eyes not around 5-6 differing from a person to another, and other stuff occur without proper planning or something? I doubt those are due to a big explosion from a rock.

    "How were you created?"
    "Boom, everything came along."

    I'm sorry, are you saying that "I don't understand how thus it can't be true"?
    Because if you are please do me a huge favor and slap yourself. This is an incorrect response. You are not an expert in this field. Clearly you have never taken even a class in this field. I have taken some rudimentary courses in this field and already I can see ample evidence for how we could come from nothing to this.

    To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.

    He's entitled to his own opinion. Stop telling him he's wrong.

    Its not his opinion. To explain an opinion with rational examples and proofs its great, I love it. But to explain it with ignorance (IE " I just don't understand how this could of happened") Is what I'm trying to critique. I apologize if it came out as anything else.

    posted a message on How to deal with griefers: We make the client do it-
    Quite simply just make it that the server now rejects all packets from that client excluding the ping packet. Thus he thinks hes still on the server, people are moving and building, and he can see stuff happening. Yet whatever he does it only seen to him, not the other users. Its like client siding buildings. Only issue is that flooding no longer works for the greifer.

    The whole 2x2 brick area is just notch seeing how the bircks looked next to each other. They aren't needed. The pink thing is some overlay that isn't used either. Lastly the gold bick is a different sytle of gold thats in the game; can also be safely removed

    These are all assumptions, but I don't see how I'd be wrong.

    Deep floating just means its really really high up. Hoping it would have a ton of overlapping islands :sad.gif:

    However, these is something amazing to be going through a cave, seeing light, and seeing another floating island off in the distance, a drop in front of you. Amazing.

    This is really great guys. Although I honestly know nothing about snetwork socket programming, I think you guys have that covered and need more coding in the normal sense. I think I can do that. Is the one at sourceforge the most recent version, and if I make any additions can I send them to you? I don't believe I'll do much, but I'd like to try, you know? I would particularly try my hand at water physics. I think I have some nice ideas how to keep the lag down while keeping it realistic, but I will not know until I try of course.

    EDIT: Wow just going through your script. Damn is that one beautiful script.


    EDIT2: What compiler do you use? I'm using visual C++ Currently and its throwing errors about using Extern "C", which it seems visual C++ Doesn't like you using sadly.

    What notch means is don't distribute the minecraft.jar of this. He wants this for paid players only.
