aaanywaay my server is up! :)
Gah is the mc server kinda dead now?
Anyway look at this [CLICK]
Pretty much you can no longer have any gaps between ladders. I wouldn't mind too much but it means that quite possibly many custom maps will get broken as some use ladders for platforming sections.(including mine :P)
So what do you guys think?
I think notch sucks even more now! Mwhahahahahaha*Cough*
My server is up :)
EDIT: http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/58815655419461632 ah ok thanks notch :)
Well, I never really left gaps in my ladders because I like it better when they're all together.
Hmm made a snazzy banner for my map.
You guys liek? :P
On topic with Minecraft being laggy for a lot of you, another option is to press CTRL + ALT + DEL. Open up your task manager, go to the process tab, right click the process "Java" or "Javaw" and select "Set Priority". Then select "Realtime" or "High".
I keep meaning to try this now my computer is good (yes, my iMac actually struggled with it...) but I'm being sidetracked by Shogun II :P I'll give it a go sometime soon :)
EDIT:
I made tests and there's definetely some memory leak going on with Minecraft right now. When I open Minecraft, wait for all the graphic to finish loading itself, I am at like 560mb. After that it will get higher, gradually. After a couple of hours I was at 800mb. Did a "save and quit", booted the game again and I am back at 560mb.
What does the "realtime" priority means anyways? That this process is a priority only while a program using it is currently running?
Huh. I'd noticed that my computer gradually got slower as it ran Minecraft, which could be fixed by saving and quitting, but I never knew why. Maybe the extra memory is some kind of cookie that is built up from your play data; that would explain why saving and quitting Minecraft clears the extra memory.
I dunno know. I really dunno what I cookie would be used for, honestly. In my experience in software devellopment + the fact the game gained memory on me without me exploring therefore generating new chunks of land, I suspect the memory leak coming from something that's always there, always running, no matter what you do. Probably the NPC spawning. Notch retouched it lately for wolves and brown sheep so even make more sense that new bug could be introduced.
Hey, Whaale, I know I'm a little slow on getting here, but could you get me (roosterbling) whitelisted? I would like to join the action again! :p
Say, did that server crash yesterday as well?
Our server aparently crashed and rolledback up to the last back up that was made...
Wondering if it wa isolated or more spread problem.
Although playing in SMP was fun, I'm still having as much fun in SSP. Only because I installed mods that I have an epic time with.
- SDK's gun mod
- More creeps and weirdos
- Humans+
- Baby Animals
Industrial craft is another good ssp mod. tho i haven't used any mods in a while as they tended to make my game crash every now and then.
Anybody else looking forward to the occlusion culling on the update rather than the weather? I'm leaving out stats and achievements, those are the best parts of 1.5.
Quick edit: Occlusion culling is when the game renders only what you need to see, so it should reduce lag.
Good new everyone!!
Notch says that 1.5 Might be out today!!
Cant wait for achievements!!! :D
Yep achievements and weather sounds good.
Not too keen on the "ladder fix" as it will probably break my custom map ._.
**** it. I'll have to wait for everyone to update all their mods, and then I have install them again -.- Anyways, Occlusion Culling better reduce my lag. I've tried everything, and Notch may be my last hope.
Update is out: http://notch.tumblr.com/post/4746701...s-on-this-blog
Any impressions on the performance upgrade anyone?
Yeah, Occlusion Culling seems to have downgraded my performance, too. :(
I didn't really notice a difference. Also still have yet to see weather.
The new saplings don't have different names so they get a bit confusing. Achievements are meh at the moment nothing too exciting just basic stuff. Apparently the booster rails are pretty weak so ehh....
Mods and servers are broken :D
havent noticed any diff either. i turned on the OpenGL whatchamadoohickey too, and still have yet to figure out what it changed.
The OpenGL is the Occlusion Culling. Occlusion Culling just renders what you see, not everything around you. You need a good CPU power to have it run well, but it reduces the use of the RAM, so if you have a good enough computer, it should reduce lag greatly.
I noticed a great difference.
Without OpenGL, I run at 31-40 FPS on Normal fog, unlike before with 18-21.
Winning*
EDIT: With OpenGL it still runs the same, but it's weird how my FPS improved.
The Stats & Achievements will be a lot nicer when they are not stored Locally. They should definiatly be stored on Minecraft.net. I play on two computers and am a fan of stats so it would be nicer to have them online.
I happened to get reain the 1st night on the new map I made, not really so bad lag-wise actually, at least not in "Fast" graphics.
Tho even when i changed to the "Fancy" graphics, it wasn't really that bad, it added the rain sound, a lot more rain and some other slight differences, but it didn't really lower my fps that much.
It was still well and playable either way.
I noticed that too. Fancy runs much smoother, but I can't stand the fancy clouds. They look horrible!
Really fancy runs faster?
Hmm will test it out. I don't really like the look of rain, the colour is just euugh..
Well, a I came into a few bugs. I started a new world and settled into a snow biome and guess what? I can't place any block or object on any other block that has snow on it! I can't even place it on the sides.
Has anyone encountered rain or snow yet?
They should have made it a little bit more common than it is now.
EDIT:
There's now a demo for Minecraft, provided by PCGamer.
http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/04/19/do...inecraft-demo/
Yes, they haz permission from Notch, obviously.
So I tried it out. You spawn in the same world, and same coordinates.
You start out with a couple of stuff.
Also, the cows are specially branded for the PCGamer people.
BEHOLD MINECRAFTERS....

This looks like a Minecraft mod could. What imagination.
