fCraft Forums

The main problem is not the database backend, but the middleware that allows using more than one database engine (e.g. a choice of MySQL or SQLite). I am currently looking at either DBLinq or BLToolkit for middleware.

Thank you! I tried implementing a file-based tracking solution, which ended up wasting way too much memory, CPU time, and diskspace. Now I will probably go with a database-based solution. The problem is - I don't want to force every fCraft server to set up MySQL, and SQLite has its own set of perfor...

Thank you for spotting! The readme ended up totally misleading without the "not."

For more of this, check out this thread on my side project, MineChan.

The purpose of this thread is to post information about changes in the software that powers fCraft.net Freebuild, whenever it's updated. Sometimes Freebuild gets to use unreleased, advance copies of fCraft, and sometimes it gets customized features. Some changes are omitted, if they are not relevan...

I tried slightly increasing the maximum allowed clicking distance (relative to player's current position). It was a 12x12x12 area around the player - same as vanilla server, but a little stricter than most custom servers. I increased that to 14x14x14, to account for lag. Whenever the server software...

1) "Check port" will only work if nothing else is using that port. So make sure that you turn off your server first before checking it. Also, try one of the third-party check sites, like this one: http://canyouseeme.org/ 2) Try temporarily disabling your firewall (if you've got one), and s...

If anyone finds a reliable way to reproduce this bug, let me know. I haven't been able to get any strange-acting blocks on my test server. We've got a Heisenbug!

minecraft.net does not use any consistent sorting for servers.jsp page. I've asked the Mojang web developer (Tobias Mollstam) about this, and he did not know or care about the sorting. So I don't think they'll bother fixing it any time soon. It appears that the position on the list is random, and it...

I just added somewhat of a /rules extension. Now server owners will be able to put a bunch of text files (e.g. one for every rank) in a rules/ folder. When you call, for example, "/rules op", it will print contents of the file "rules/op.txt". And just calling "/rules" b...

Here's what probably happened: - You were hidden. - Players tried typing "/tp Helio_", but the command found no players. - For convenience, if no players were found for a given name, /tp tries to interpret the given name as a world name. That's for people (like myself) who often mix up /tp...

Odd. Investigating.

Done in 0.600

Adding. Good idea.

EDIT: Done in branch-0.60x r705

My opinion is: It should be up to moderators to punish rule breakers. I will not add auto-censorship to fCraft.

This has been finished in the developer copy, available in /branch-0.60x/ r698+

water/stillwater and lava/stilllava are used in vanilla Minecraft for water physics. They look exactly the same though.

I'm gonna keep spawns and build permissions totally separate. And no portals.

/copynot will have to use the same amount of memory as /copy, regardless of how many blocks are omitted. So the draw limit will still apply.

Hello MCForge! I think MCZall/MCLawl and my fCraft serve different niches - I never perceived them as competing projects. I've always focused on freebuild features and stability/performance, whereas MC* developers have historically had more interest in rapid feature release. I have not been keeping ...

I'm gonna kill this topic. Please suggest ONE thing per thread, in the future.

Rejected.

I'm now almost done rewriting the line-wrapping algorithm. Expect this to be fixed in a few days.

There's a catch, Hafnium: you can type in Minecraft block codes ("0" for air, "19" for sponge, etc. Full list here) instead of names. So I really have no way to tell slot numbers from block codes.

I wouldn't mind having multiple copy/paste slots, but I am once again not sure about the syntax. Adding " /Copy X " syntax is easy, but /Paste command already has some parameters. Maybe instead of adding numbers to all those commands, I could add a separate command that selects the slot nu...

I think I'll go with a cylinder command, as theytookourjobs suggested.

First attempt failed horribly, and second attempt shall be better. Some day.

I like Astelyn's "/nvm"

I won't bother.
