I can't use it now. When I clcik on Load World I just a list of your world saves (with full paths) that I can't edit. The old way was better although not very slick but you had it go to the Saves folder by default which was good and doing it that way also meant you could navigate to other folders where you migth have other maps or backups of maps.

It does take some time, from a few seconds to a minute, just to load the world. If you were seeing the green progress bar moving, then that's when it's loading up the world. After that, the searches should be almost instant as you change the text in the search box. It could be more explicit that it's still loading and only has to do that once. The other ideas you mentioned are cool. I'll whip those into shape and then post this tool on a different thread to gauge interest. Thanks for the feedback.

My pleasure, good luck with it! :-)

Thank you for the GUI, it'll make it SO much easier to use! :-)

As for improvements then if it's just me that's going to use it then it's fine as it is but if anyone else finds it useful then I've a few suggestions.

• The first thing I did was load in a world expecting to then type in my search term but it went off looking straight away with a blank filter so maybe a Start Search button.
• A Cancel Search button would be useful too.
• And maybe a Show All button to show all signs in a world, not just ones you're looking for.
• A "Search Complete" text (with maybe the number of signs found?)

Again, that's only if anyone else shows an interest. If it's just me then the GUI is enough, the rest are would be nices.

Thank you again! :-)

Downloaded, thank you :-)

It's C#. I use the Substrate library for Minecraft. It's also used by NBT Explorer and other world editing tools.

Ah, ok. I only know a little about Java, Actionscript and Javascript.

I just put it together in 10 minutes. If it is something you could use then I can add a GUI and other options. I was going to say that you will need to type the full path to your world folder. In your case, "C:\test". The quotes are only needed if there are any spaces in the path or folder name.

I did my ETA before I saw this - yes, a GUI would be nice. I'm sure others would appreciate it and its uses. What language is it written in? I glanced at the source code and I've not seen that before.

Never mind, got it working now. You can't take any shortcuts, you have to type in the full path. Right - let's see what I can do with it...

ETA, it does exactly what I was looking for! No GUI so it's very cumbersome to use but I'm not going to be using it every day. Thank you! :-)

There is an example in the README file. It's a command line tool for now so run it from a DOS prompt. If you are on Linux then you will need to run it with Mono.

DOS? Okaaaay, it's been a while.....

I copied my world folder to the C root and renamed the folder "test" as I'm not typing all that out. I copied the sign tool folder to C root as well.

Went into the ST folder, typed signtool.exe test "diamond" as I know there are signs with "diamond" written on them. I get an error every time.

I whipped up a very simple tool based on Substrate called SignTool. Try it out and see if it does what you are looking for.

Thanks Cubic, but how do I use it? I click on it and a CLI flashes up for a split-second and is gone.

I wrote an MCEdit filter that drapes your creation on the landscape. Useful for walls, roads, and creative castles.

Looks interesting but the download only gives you the pictures.

I updated World Downloader for Minecraft 1.4.6 using MCP 7.25. The updated download is at the top of the thread and new source is committed at Github. This release fixed issues #11, #15 and #16 on the issue tracker. In other words, it should now correctly save entities that have gone outside of tracking range on the server including pictures, chests, mobs, villagers, sheep, basically all entities!

Let me know if you find any problems with the update.

Thank you! :-)

Does anyone know of a tool that can show all signs in a downloaded world and can filter the results? I know of Kamyu's EditSigns tool and I've asked him twice if he can put in a filter feature in a future update but he jasn't replied so that's not happening but at least if his Edit Signs tool exists know it can be done.

I would like to be able to search all signs in a world or area from people selling gear so as to be able to work out what the cheapest of anything is or work out the average price so I can sell mine at a realistic price. I imagine typing in, say, "Bane" and getting all signs from people selling Bane swords.

Edit chests:

Is there any way a future update could include the facility to output to a searchable text file? I have a world with hundreds of signs and looking through them for the signs I want to read (not alter) is a daunting task that will take hours. Thanks. :-)

Or maybe a search filter / box? That might be easier for you to implement than a text file output?
