Update 0.6.5: Plugin API (EN)

  player.setLocationTickerText("Test", true);  

Cannot find symbol.

THe Libraries Classpath is set the the one that's in the server folder.

player.setLocationTickerText("Test", true);

Looks like this method is not mentioned in javadocs, and is missing in player, are you sure that it is correct?

It's just how internal world edits work in the game But does that mean you want to use a global block position instead? With the WorldEditBatch, that should work: You could just provide 0 for chunk coordinates and use an arbitrary block position - the game should calculate the chunk positions automatically.

Yes, global position, since chunk position can be calculated from it. The strange thing is when I manually calculate chunk position and relative block position - it fails to create anything, but if I use chunk position from the player and just offsets from player block position - that works fine. Probably something is wrong with my calculations

A "cave":

Oops. My mistake, too hasty. This works:

        player.showLocationTicker("test",0.0f);      

I'm assuming 0.0f will show it indefinatly?

Small bug report:

- Main menu screen still can be black/dark, sometimes after leaving caves (probably related to some post effects)

- Game sometimes can crash on world rejoining after plugins get update (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION)

Actually both bugs existed in previous version (0.6.5), I just forgot about the last one

Edit: animals will fall underground on world launch

That's weird Yes, maybe the calculation is wrong, I'll take a closer look at this issue!

-1 is supposed to show the text indefinitely, but I think 0 also works (not sure about that)

Yes it does

Quote from red51

Oh, I wasn't aware of this issue Does that only happen when replacing a plugin?

It happens when plugin event is triggered, sometimes it can happen on player join (probably related to player join event)

Quote from red51

Hmm... there is a chance that old animals that got stuck somewhere prior to the update now fall through the ground, but if this happens any other animals, that's a serious issue

With any, and on each world launch. I'm testing things underground and see a rain from cows and chickens on each world launch

Confirmed, all animals fell through ground upon launch (only animals touching surface or terrain .. other animals in buildings on block floors are fine).

Quote from red51

[Bugfix] Fixed bug that caused animals to fall through the ground

I'm not sure about this

Looks like this still can happen (when player moves and new animals are spawning)

There is also a bug with UI (plant selection and element shape selection) - if you will open it on the second time it will show wrong place in catalogue with missing icons, and for element shapes it will show not all available shapes. Simple movement of a slider fixes this, so looks like it is a visual bug

Nice to see all the progress that this game has made since I started playing in 2017

Hii RED, I have some doubts about the new version, could you answer this post if you have a chance to read my observations and my questions? Thank you for keeping this gem of a game optimized as it should be, I appreciate it.

How about RED, thank you very much for the attention and for reading.

Well, I have some doubts and some suggestions

My first question is about the water, it is more than anything talking about the graphic. The change that the game had in its migration from JAVA to Unity was abysmal, it looks beautiful, however there are other things that I think can be improved.

I have noticed that the water of the new version lost many qualities of the JAVA version, speaking specifically about the reflections... In JAVA the water looked very good too, we could see the reflection of the Sun, the Moon, the stars, the sky, but also of the trees and the buildings and the reflection was even very well achieved with the waves of the water.

Now in Unity I have only seen that the Sun and the Moon are reflected. I think that the reflections in the water of the JAVA version are superior to those of the new version. EVERYTHING was reflected.

I guess the new version water lost those features more for performance than anything, but it would be really nice to have those beautiful reflections with the graphics now! I'm only talking about sea water, rivers and lakes, PUDDLES are BEAUTIFUL.

They could put an option in the graphics menu to activate those reflections, something like "complex or ultra quality reflections". I have also noticed that the reflections of the Sun and the Moon in the new version have some errors when there are many clouds, because the Sun and the Moon are reflected in the water even if we do not see them in the sky when they are covered by clouds.

I imagine that the reflections of the water in this new version are a little less detailed than those in JAVA for performance reasons, but I think that everything would depend in the end on the computer on which it is played.

Another big question I have is about the lights... I'm making a very, very large world and I have the problem that the torches and bonfires that I put up can't be seen at medium distances, I would say short... It's something that really bothers me. I wish it could be improved, as well as something optional in the graphics menu (I already have everything maxed out in my graphics, practically, including the amount of lights and the draw distance). I know that there are limits that they put in order not to spoil performance, but I would like to be able to see more lights and further away during game nights.

Moving on to other questions:

When will we have the option to permanently place any object in the world?

Another question is when we will have other important objects such as the map, the hinges to make special doors and the option to create functional custom ships? I know that the latter is less important in its development, I just have the doubt if we will see that soon or it was already discarded in the plans.

Two other silly questions: can you paint the water? And will there be hail in the game at some point?

I have some small suggestions for development that I hope will help you:

Someone said it before, if there could be more types of trees, maybe it sounds very demanding but it would be cool to have some endemic trees from each continent, I ask you because what I'm doing requires that I have nopales like the ones on the Mexican flag, yes were possible...

I would love if they could integrate fish and frogs into the animals, or something more aquatic fauna. About the fishes, it would be nice if they don't appear just using the fishing rod, but are actually swimming in the water.

I don't know if there could be an object that would serve to simply emit smoke and be visually noticeable, like chimneys are seen in the cold.

The game is turning out beautiful, especially since you can now make terraprints, you don't know how much that detail helps those of us who make big worlds!

I hope the development of this great game is being more enjoyable for you, even more so now that you have already done the most difficult thing;) I will always say that it is a masterpiece, to make masterpieces, pure art, my favorite video game, and I have played many, regards my dear RED.
