It's pretty nifty

Quazzie · 21-02-2011 11:43pm

Whenever i log in, be it on the old launcher, the new launcher, or even through a browser, it just goes black and nothing happens

ShadowHearth · 22-02-2011 9:43am

Does it mean texture packs wount be working too now?

Cheers for newws tal.

Tallon · 22-02-2011 9:51am

No, textures havn't changed, just a helpful welcome screen

DOC09UNAM · 22-02-2011 9:58am

Am I the only one it's not working for now?

I can login in-browser if I want but the app doesn't seem to want to work anymore.

ShadowHearth · 22-02-2011 12:37pm

just got it, thanks tal.

works finw for me lads. just tested, it keeps all textures too. woot!

* Implemented a new lighting engine with the help of MrMessiahs (can be turned off)
* Changed the options around, added a new “Graphics options” button
* Added beds. If all players in a map sleeps in a bed during night, the game immediately skips until morning
* Added three new half-size blocks
* Added Delay/Repeater redstone dust blocks
* Added whitelisting to the server. To use, enter “whitelist <cmd>” where cmd is “on”, “off”, “add <player>”, “remove <player>”, “list” or “reload”
* New save file format, old maps need to be converted (that might take a while..)
* It’s now possible to have more than five save slots, and to rename saves
* Scrollbars in both the texture pack list, and in the map selection screen
* Replaced the Mojang splash image to reflect the new logo colors
* .. and a bunch of bug fixes and tweaks!

ShadowHearth · 22-02-2011 5:45pm

Yep, as I said in the other thread. Servers need to be updated. Will be down for the time being

seriousbuns · 22-02-2011 5:48pm

oh right, was getting scared there for a sec :P

DirtyBollox · 22-02-2011 5:48pm

if you want to play offline your worlds will have to be converted to another thingy. not too sure what it is.

Most of the servers are down now, including ours.

We have to wait until the plugins are updated (which should be soon today), or disable them altogether.

Thoughts?

cherryghost · 22-02-2011 5:53pm

Quick update:

Server needs to be download, converted, reuploaded. Will take about 2 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience (well I'm not really, blame Notch :P)

By that point the plugins should have been updated by then too (plugins get updated several times a day normally)

Tallon · 22-02-2011 5:53pm

Offline is down too

All worlds need to be converted to the new format

seriousbuns · 22-02-2011 5:54pm

guess im studying for my exam tomorrow the next two hours so...

ShadowHearth · 22-02-2011 5:54pm

ah cool. it means a brake of mc lol. gl in the work lads.

cherryghost · 22-02-2011 5:56pm

Holy crap it's dark and damp out.

And I'm out of bread and butter

Tallon · 22-02-2011 6:09pm

Only time I get to shower is when MC goes down

jak/mar · 22-02-2011 6:10pm

Ok lads ive found the bed.
i think someone asked for pictures but i cant remember

Crafting the bed, 3 wood planks, 3 wool

And the bed itself,

And when its night time you can right click the bed get in, screen fades black and then you wake up in day time.

Tallon · 22-02-2011 6:18pm

Nice work man

ShadowHearth · 22-02-2011 6:32pm

awesome lad.

alot of refurrnishing to do now....

is there double version?

any idea on new blocks?

jak/mar · 22-02-2011 6:33pm

Theres also a wooden half block made of 3 planks ( like the stone half block) but oddly enough when you break it it has the stone breaking pattern i.e. grey squares flying out not wooden

Kersmash · 22-02-2011 7:42pm

There's a cobblestone half-block, the usual half block now has to be made from proper stone, and I think there's also a sandstone half block.

cherryghost · 22-02-2011 7:43pm

Right servers converted. Crazy, was over 17k files, and with this update it's only 109 files in size! We can do daily cartos again woo!

Quazzie · 22-02-2011 8:30pm

So when will it be back online?

Antar Bolaeisk · 22-02-2011 10:08pm

Now we get delays and repeaters

On the plus side a more automated train track with switchovers etc is very doable (though the slowdown bit is still tricky).

Do the train boosters still work or have they been 'fixed' in the update?

irishstoner · 22-02-2011 11:50pm

Same with our server

Really sucks how all the mods break with every update!

cherryghost · 23-02-2011 2:00am

Keep an eye on this. We could be up and running soon enough

DirtyBollox · 23-02-2011 2:01am

(I think)

Anyone else having the problem that when you sleep in a bed on a server you get half way through the proccess of skipping the night and then you are woken up by mobs spawning above you?
