oh right. interesting, given the fairly massive amount of performance bugs they were suffering!
there was 'unofficial'* beta release 1 a few days ago
then there was 'unofficial' beta release 2 just a couple of days ago
now 1.8 is officially released to everyone
and 1.9 is on the way!
*'unofficial' despite it being released by a member of the development team and linked to from the minecraft.net site
Bukkit are apparently on the job. Really need to get back to mining, too much fucking about with satellite dishes and media centers have been taking up my time.
ah dammit ...
"do you want to download the latest update?"
oh yes please, now connect to teh mine
"nah, the server software doesn't match this MC"
well dammit, you could have said something before I feckin updated
Until I say the server is updated...... it isn't updated!
Ant - is the server updated yet?
well yes, that's fair enough
minecraft could have mentioned something though
I can't go back (next time I keep the old jar)
oh ... anyone got the old .jar handy? - cheers
(can I just go back one like that?)
I guess it doesn't check the servers you use because you could be using many different ones.
I should have the .jar. I'll have a look.
I suppose it couldn't check, but it could mention it might be an issue
cheers for the .zip
didn't work :(
I tried Ant's .jar but MC updated without asking me
Then I tried another .jar file I found but that auto updated too
bugger
Hmm, I'll see what I can do. There must be a file that has your setting for updating saved.
no worries, it'll all come right in a day or two (possibly ;-) )
I had a quick poke around in 1.8 and... it's underwhelming. What do y'all think?
not that impressed either
Jake has been killing endermen for their pearls all evening, water hurts them so he chucks a bucket of water on the floor, stand in the middle and makes them come to him - not a scary as billed :(
Hahaha, I like endermen just because they're like... built-in mild griefers. And that's cool. Shame they're not on peaceful (being essentially non-hostile) because non-peaceful bores me.
I also updated without thinking about it but using Ant's bin folder asks me again if I want to update which I said no to. I can't connect to the server though, says something like Internal client error: javaexceptionblah, 503, etc.
503 is what the dodgily written website returns when it's overloaded with people trying to log in.
So even if I've logged in on the main screen it still needs to connect to the minecraft server when connecting to teh server?
