Yeah, but i launched it the old way by mistake and it autoupdated my client :$

>>Is he saying it will take a while to implement the conversion feature, or that the conversion is there but might take a long time to complete?

I think that's fairly obvious saying it might take a long time for the converstion, probably more so if you've got a big world (LIKE THE SERVER :@ )

No, (well maybe), but the old method of runnign minecraft.exe logs in fine, but everyone on minecraft forums is saying that the new launcher is failling to log in.

The server has been updated to the new version on minecraft.net and it seems that hMod etc. is all working on it, but i can't log in to check. Don't know if that's related to not using the new launcher or not though.

OK, worked it out I think.

hMod uses it's own server jar file (minecraft_servero.jar, fact fans!) which obviously hasn't been updated when i updated the official server file.

I've just launched the original server jar, and it's currently converting the world to the new format. I suspect this will take FOREVER, and there is a back up if it goes wrong or whatever. That means no hMod until hMod is updated.

Alternative is we hold back and use 1.2 client and server until hMod is up and running with the new server. I don't mind which, but let me know what you'd all prefer (I think I know what that will be somehow :D).

On the plus side, the 1.3 client is /much/ faster than the 1.2 was for me - on Singleplayer I can have fancy graphics on my laptop, view set to normal and still got 40+FPS. The new lighting is pretty, too.

New server, or new map?

Edit: I know, we've had this conversation before. I just like to check.

we need to decide /now/ before we do any work, as I can't convert the new world format back to the old to work with 1.2.

I am going to have a shower, and then I'll decide what to do. I'm edging towards keeping 1.2 for now tbh.

Aye. 1.2 for now, will decide over the next couple of days whether to move based on noises from hMod, kMod,Bukkit etc.

Restoring 1.2 now, should be up in a few.

Can someone find a download for the 1.2 client and share a link pls? :$
