I can see a map now.


Or at least the small portion of it which spinning plates is viewing, I guess.

If only I could zoom in more.. this is almost like online stalking. :D

Renamed it to minecraftlauncher.jar from minecraftlauncher.jar.zip

Probably because you downloaded it with IE, and IE is shit and likes to fuck with things like that.

WHY ARE YOU USING SHITTY IE!?!?! :@

There's still plenty of life in it! The game hasn't even finished development yet - so even if everyone here did get bored tomorrow (not going to happen), you'd have a spurt of Teh people playing it at least for a while when it is actually fully released.

Get it! Get it! Get it! :@

It just died.

I fell to my death digging out the pool and when I respawned I was floating in space for a while with no terrain at all, then it booted me out and I can't reconnect now :(

Blue screened :-/

 

Back up now.

Yay!

But it looks like some of the map data has corrupted, we now have huge bits of terrain in the middle of the pool that weren't there an hour ago.

Oh well, time to get the TNT out again.

It's been up solidly for days, and now I get two blue screens in a row :/

Bah, just tried and it looks like they all get JARs screwed up.

Stupid browsers. :@

They don't. A jar is a zip archive.

It's an executable zip file.

A browser's default behaviour should be treating it as an executable, because people that know/care they are zip files (the minority) will know how to override that behaviour, whilst people that don't will get all confused.

* The browser should choose what to do based on what the server says the file is.

To: Matt 934 of 3934
Well, if there's different content types to specify that, then yeah.

(And, if it hasn't explicitly been set by the uploader, the default behaviour should again be to determine if its an executable JAR and act accordingly.)

my browser (IE8) did detect it and act accordingly - maybe spinningplates has buggered about with some settings or installed some software that hijacked the .jar extension?
