I'm up for some L4D2 soon. But I have updated (backdated) to 1.2 - I just need whitelisting to be able to play MC with you chaps.

Done. If you log in I'll try to work out how to admin you, too.

I'm reluctant to downgrade, might just wait till the server's updated.

Work shy, that's you. There's a tunnel that needs completing boyo.

Upgrade the serververv!

I want /a bed/.

Speaking of which, I have been up too many hours so I want //a bed//.

Thanks very much. I've renamed the old /bin to /bin 1.3 so I can play either on the Teh server or the latest SP. I hope.

Assuming that works I vote Xen should do that also.

Someone needs to do a video of this tunnel thing and shove on youtube or something.

should wait till it's finished, it's joined up to the road now - but stations were planned ...

And I need to finish the bridge and have the track going over that too.

Ok how do you stop it updating? The one I download now is pre-updated.

Do what Kos says here about replacing the bin folder. Then get the new launcher off minecraft.net.

Ahh. Really don't want to have to rename folders to play in SP/other servers.

I will wait. Unless I get really impatient.

What's the reason for not going to 1.3?

To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) 733 of 3934

Not going to 1.3 just yet, will wait and see what hMod people say about 1.3 - if it's going to be /ages/ then might just move to 1.3.

 

Anyway, reasons are:

 

No hMod - so no warping
No backups
No minecart mania (:$)
More difficult whitelist/admin privs etc.

Fair enough (although it might be fun to go wild west for a while).

I've downgraded now anyway :C

But the new lighting is so pretty :C

And LOGIC BLOCKS! :C

Yeah, I know. And it seems to run so much better, too.

 

Right, had a quick look and situation is thus:

 

hMod: the guy that's been maintaining it since hey0 had a hissy fit is on holiday until the 28th, so presumably he'll only start looking at a new build some point after that. So potentially a month or so of sticking to 1.2

 

kMod: nothing posted/updated in about a month

 

Bukkit: God these people are /sooo/ shit at actually conveying information. Why isn't there a current status thing on their page, saying what stage Bukkit is at etc? I've found a link to a build that works with 1.3 via Twitter, but I've no idea what the fuck works/is supported because they are dicks. The last post on the bukkit.org page is from 6th of Feb ffs!

I know other people probably feel different but my preference is that if a mod stops working with the current version then fuck the mod. I'd rather use the current version unmodded. That's assuming it's not just a tiny update, I mean ones that actually add cool stuff.

I think the biggest loss would be no warping but... well, there are simple teleport mods. Or we could walk. Would be interesting at least.

Aye, less of an issue now there's an UNDERGROUND RAILWAY too :D

 

My biggest concern is not the warps and that, but the backing up of stuff.

 

:-|

 

I'm going to keep reading about Bukkit and see what's what, but it's so hard to find any actual information.
