Changelog 2015-04-12: First hostile animals and MySQL support

  • Finally the new update is available! This time it took longer than expected, since we also did some preparations for some bigger updates. We will give you more information about that soon ;)


    This update introduces three new animals, a bear, moose and rabbit. As you may expect, the bear will attack you on sight. The moose on the other hand only attacks you when you attack it first (the goat has the same behaviour now). Unfortunately they don't drop any loot yet, that will be changed soon ;)


    Apart from that, we have an important addition for dedicated servers: You're now able to use MySQL or MariaDB instead of SqLite. This can be defined in the server.properties file (instead of a worldname, you specify a database name now).
    We have release a small update to convert a SqLite database to MySQL: Convert SqLite database to MySQL


    We have also improved the serverbrowser, giving you the ability to sort the list by playercount (or alphabetically), and also to specify some filters.


    Another change concerns the networking: If you lose the connection, you will be reconnected automatically. This should solve some issues when having slight connection interruptions.


    Apart from that, we added new lua functions and also renamed some old functions. Make sure you update your scripts, you find all information about it in our official forum. An updated AreaProtection script is now available.

    Did an error occur serverside when dying or respawning? Usually this happens when something goes wrong with respawning (either when an error occurs [you should be able to see it in the server log], or when a lua script prevents the user from respawning).
