I can start a server for you if you want. Contact me by PM

Hi, I have been coding a simple Minecraft launcher which connects people directly to my server but I have some troubles with the update button. Maybe some of you are more experienced than me in file hosting / Downloading and can probably help me. This is the code for my update button:

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
MsgBox("Please make sure Minecraft is closed!", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation)
If System.IO.File.Exists(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\Bin\minecraft.exe") Then
Kill(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.exe")
End If
If System.IO.File.Exists(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\Bin\version.txt") Then
Kill(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\bin\version.txt")
End If
If System.IO.File.Exists(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\Bin\minecraft.jar") Then
Kill(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar")
End If
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("https://s3.amazonaws.com/MinecraftDownload/launcher/Minecraft.exe", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.exe")
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("This is the problem, I don't know where to download my files from (or atleast where to host them)", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar")
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("Pretty much same thing here", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.minecraft\bin\version.txt")
MsgBox("Update Finished.", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
End Sub
End Class


I'd like to have my files hosted on the Internet so my programs download them and then it launches the game with the modded and updated minecraft

The problem is that I don't know where the host my files on. I need a website that VBnet can recognize and download my files from. Or atleast, if you have any other free alternative please let me know.

Thanks.

"You may have noticed a motion blur shader and bokeh dof shader. These are VERY beta and probably don't work properly. If both are enabled at the same time, all shaders fail. Keep them disabled unless you want to see how they're looking for now."

I think I have them enabled, because I am not getting any shadows, how do I disable them?

Are there any? When I search on youtube it delets 1.0.0

Laser mod, but you can also create one with a BUD Gate and a redstone block (mineral) which can be obtained by mining with with an enchanted pickaxe (Or by cheating if you're lazy or the host of your server/whatever you're doing)

Sheep or Zombies, they both annoy the **** outta me and they both drop useless stuff.

Wool is actually semi-useful. Kinda useful for most builders though. And zombies = Rotten Flesh = Food = Easy to get.

Rebooted the server after you saved the changes?

You pretty much just stole my words. Thank-you, you theif! :dry.gif:

I did this and it still didn't work

Did you skip the step that they said "Do not skip this step!"

What IP did you enter in your server.proprieties and what IP did you use to login in your server?

Not sure whats worse, his grammar, or his reading ability.

I think that's the grammar.

Quote from lilinyu

today i play game runescape ,i play one monster，i am exciting ,because i play long time to kill it

Just a random tip like that.

Go back to school and learn some grammar so we can actually understand what you say.

What do you need?
Router: Netgear
Model: WNDR3400

Exactly what I needed. :smile.gif:

Can some use Teamviewer and help me? Or on here I don't know...

Yes, but I guess he is looking for his external IP.

Hey guys,
I'm starting a server for me an my friends, but I'm having a few problems...

- Changing initial spawn point (I tried McEdit but it didn't work)
- Being an administrator
- How to limit the commands
- How to make safe-zones and such
- how to run an effective server

Please help me! I have a Mac.

If MCedit didn't work. Remember that you must not run the game at the same time while changing the spawn with it and remember to save your modifications.

Learn to use your tools before saying they aren't working.

bump?

Just listen to what the logs are saying:

CAN'T KEEP UP IS THE SERVER OVERLOADED OR DID THE SYSTEM TIME CHANGE

When you see this message, this means that you've ran out of RAM in the server, to allocate more RAM on a server run your server with a .bat Launcher, there's how to do that:

Open note pad and type:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar minecraft_server.jar
PAUSE

where -Xmx1G is the number of RAM allocated for your server. You can't go higher from what you have. So make sure you don't put more on your server than you have on your computer or you wont be able to run it eithier. (Remember also that running the game on your PC consumes RAM so it means that you wont have the full amount of RAM to allocate to your server).

Remember to vote my post up if I helped.

I had my server running perfectly fine when i had time warner cable.
We switched to centurytel/link.
I updated the ip and checked the ports on my router and they are all fine.
It doesn't work though. yougetsignal shows nothing (i am running the server when i test it)
I can only connect by LAN.
We got a new modem but i dont think that matters.

Does anyone know of a way to get my server to work/ what is wrong with my new ISP that i need to fix?

Thanks in advance, i couldn't find a topic like this

Did you write your external or Internal IP address in the server.proprieties?
Are you 100% sure your ports are correctly forwarded?
What IP did you use to connect?
What does it says when you try to connect in the server logs?
