Basically there are these options to play multiplayer:

• Host a server on your local machine (just download the server files and run them). Alternatively you can also start a "LAN" session ingame (the red LAN button). If you're not in the same household, i.e. you want to play via internet, you have to forward the ports in your router (4254-4259 TCP and UDP), but then you should be good to go
• If both of you already haven an IPv6 address, you can start the game via the +ipv6 launch option and you should be able to play with each other without having to forward any ports
• Host a server or start a LAN session and play via Hamachi or Tunngle (in this case you don't have to forward your ports)
• Rent a game server, there are quite some hosters out there who offer RW servers. This is the easiest way (but there are monthly costs)

Unfortunately the game has no support for Steams peer-to-peer networking yet (i.e. invite friends directly into your game). This, however, is planned and I hope it will be available within the next months

I also died laughing shooting off a whole swarm of fireworks that it's awesome. I however feel there needs to be sizing variations and effects to them, similar to how Minecraft does them. The whistling is awesome, even how they shoot off, yet be awesome if they added trail effects, multi-bursts, and etc. As they are now they're a fun toy to play with that I'm going to dedicate a building to making them

Hehe, glad to hear you like it There is definitely a lot of room for improvements, and I guess they will become even more interesting when electricity is in the game (allowing you to remote-launch fireworks, adding timers etc)

Quote from Captian_Cornball

are the Firweworks Supposed to Despawn? I put some out, RE-logged intot the server and they were all gone.

Yes and no I admit it would be preferable if items don't despawn when reloading the world, but currently the firework rockets behave like flares and tnt (and despawn if you quit the game). I'm sure this will change in the long run.

Vielen Dank für das Feedback

Könntest du da nicht eine Umfrage machen lassen?

Wir richten momentan ein Tool ein um generell Umfragen durchführen zu können. Vielleicht richten wir sogar eine eigene Sektion für sowas ein, mal sehen

Quote from Bogus

hab ja gehofft das ein Mining helm drin inhalten drin sein könnte und eine schaufel

Der Mininghelm hats leider noch nicht geschafft, aber er kommt bald, ganz sicher

Quote from Bogus

Ihr wisst schon, das morgen erst der letzte Tag ist oder ? *gg

Ja schon, aber erfahrungsgemäß ist morgen ein ungünstiger Tag für Updates

Quote from ArcticuKitsu

When clicking on the musket ball in the crafting station I had a crash.

There was a small hotfix a few minutes ago which fixed this issue Maybe it's necessary to restart the Steam client in order to get the update^^

Thanks for the feedback

Quote from icon58

So did Steam jump the gun on the updating or? My game updated itself now I see all the servers out of version with me. My test server still says it is 9.1 even after I ran the updater. Please advise .

The server update should be available, but if it's a rented game server, it sometimes takes some time until the hoster updates it

Quote from botchikii

One think : the snowmen have their avatar look weird in crafting station (zoomed in and offscreen)

Oh indeed, thanks for letting us know, will be fixed shortly!

Quote from botchikii

Didn't find them in the loom ? I have the redcoat hat but not them

Yeah that's actually intended These items can only be obtained from dungeons (and via command of course^^)

Quote from mjminfo

@red51 little bug report, animals keep "rain" falling when spawning on SP world

I will check out what's going on there^^

Hi folks,

First of all, we wish you all the best for the New Year and hope you have a healthy start into 2018!

A new update is now available. It introduces several new items and also some other new features.

Just in time, a firework rocket is now available

We also added new clothes, including a samurai armor, new haircuts and also lots of new weapons - most of them cannot be crafted, they can only be found in dungeons. Speaking of dungeons, we improved the loot spawn in dungeons. It still needs some tweaks, but now the loot you can get from dungeons should be more valuable.

This update also introduces "stamina", so the player is no longer able to sprint indefinitely. This only applies to survival mode, although there is an option to disable it.

There are some changes to the API as well, we will release the API changelog shortly!

Last but not least we did some bug fixes and some smaller changes, but we're still working on some optimizations, in particular we want to reduce the overall memory usage. Expect another update in January.

We also can't wait to release the other things which are already in their starting holes, e.g. mounts and other transportation options, like trains and boats.
Which one of these features do you actually prefer and want to see first?

Hallo Leute!

Zuallererst möchten wir euch einen guten Rutsch und einen erfolgreichen und gesunden Start ins neue Jahr wünschen!

Es ist ein neues Update verfügbar, welches mehrere neue Gegenstände und auch ein paar andere Neuerungen einführt.

Gerade noch rechtzeitig steht nun eine Feuerwerksrakete zur Verfügung

Wir haben außerdem neue Kleidungsstücke eingeführt, darunter eine Samurai-Rüstung, neue Frisuren und auch eine ganze Reihe neuer Waffen - die meisten davon können nicht hergestellt werden, sondern lediglich in Dungeons gefunden werden. Wir wir von Dungeons sprechen: Generell haben wir den Lootspawn in Dungeons angepasst. Es braucht sicherlich noch Feinschliff, aber nun sollte man deutlich wertvollere Dinge finden können.

Dieses Update führt ebenfalls "Stamina" bzw. "Ausdauer" ein, sodass es nicht mehr möglich ist, unbegrenzt lange zu sprinten. Dies trifft nur auf den Survivalmodus zu, obwohl es auch eine Option gibt, das auszuschalten.

Auch die API hat ein paar Änderungen erhalten, in Kürze folgt dazu der Changelog!

Wir haben auch einige Bugfixes und kleinere Änderungen vorgenommen, aber wir arbeiten immernoch an weiteren Optimierungen, insbesondere wollen wir den allgemeinen Memoryverbrauch reduzieren. Dazu wird es im Januar ein Update geben.

Wir können es auch kaum abwarten die anderen Dinge zu veröffentlichen, welche bereits in ihren Startlöchern stecken, z.B. Reittiere und andere Transportmöglichkeiten, wie Züge und Boote.

Welches dieser Features würdet ihr eigentlich bevorzugen und zuerst im Spiel sehen wollen?

Quote from Minotorious

What about the item and ore IDs questions? I know it was very early in the morning when you replied red

Sorry, for some reason I missed that part

But yeah, if you want to spawn ores, you have to spawn the "ore" item with the appropriate variation/texture (e.g. 3 for stone, -101 for iron ore etc)

But you always have to use the item id's found in the "Items" table. Alternatively you can use the static "Definitions" functions, for example:

//Spawn iron ore at player position
World world = getWorld();
Definitions.ItemDefinition itemDef = Definitions.getItemDefinition("ore");
world.spawnItem(itemDef.getID(), -101, 1, evt.getPlayer().getPosition(), Quaternion.IDENTITY, false);

Unfortunately it's currently not possible to create objects (or clothing items). These items have additional information and the API does not provide a way to set these information...
This will be changed with the next update Probably there will be a new Inventory.insertNewItem() method for that.

I'm glad to hear that

Quote from zfoxfire

at 6:22 it looks like there is red in the distance when looking up a shaft

Yeah, when going to hell, the overall fog color is just changed. During the transition, this also affects the distant fog. Maybe this will be changed in the future

Quote from zfoxfire

at 14:30 the glass casing of the new penlight is offset

This looks like a bug of the preview version. Apparently this video was recorded with the pre-version of the update (since the mining drill has no sound)^^

Quote from zfoxfire

at 16:54, it looks like the new terrain placement tool doesnt show hellstone

At 16:54 you can see a grid instead of the terrain preview. One of the update preview versions actually had a grid instead of a real terrain preview, but we removed the grid for the full 0.9 release

Das macht vermutlich Sinn, das werden wir hinzufügen Beim Posten von Code aber am besten immer code Blöcke (</>) verwenden, sonst geht die Einrückung flöten

The label size of a text field is determined by the actual height of the text field element.
About multi-line input, the GUI currently does not support this unfortunately. Maybe it will be added in the future, but there will be separate API element in this case (e.g. a "text area" or something like that).

That makes sense Although I'm not sure if adding a separate event might be favorable eventually... since the PlayerChestAccessEvent is cancellable, closing a chest must also be cancellable (if it's handled by the same event).

If you read an item from a specific chest slot, always make sure the "Item" object isn't null. For example, when reading the item from the first chest slot (Item item = chest.getItem(0);), it returns null if there is no item in this slot.

Quote from Captian_Cornball

Maybe Red can explain why we need an argument for getItem();

[...]

It Has to be the limitatons of the API, I know what you are getting at at and
Item item = chest.getItem(); cannot be done.

This is not a limitation of the API. There is no chest.getItem() function, since it would not make sense. What do you expect such a function to return? A chest has usually more than 1 slot, so it is necessary to specify which item you want to get (from which slot). That's why you have to use the chest.getItem(int slot) function.
If you want to get all Items from a chest instead, you can use the chest.getItems() function, although keep in mind that this returns an array of items.

Quote from Captian_Cornball

Code

Item[] Items = chest.getItems();
//Item item = event.getItem();
// player.sendTextMessage("yes"+NameofItem);
if (Items.getName() != null && Items.getName().equals("bandage")){
    player.sendTextMessage("[#FF0000]BootyBux: ");
}

This does not work: The chest.getItems() function returns an array of all items which are in the chest. You can't call getName() on an array. Arrays in Java do not have any methods. Instead, you need to get a certain item from the array (in this case Item item = Items[0];), or iterate through the array:

Item[] items = chest.getItems();
for(Item item : items){
    if(item != null && item.getName().equals("bandage")){
        player.sendTextMessage("Found bandage!");
        break;
    }
}

Quote from LordFoobar

For example, is there any reason why this :

Hmm... I tried the snipped you posted and actually it produces a semi-transparent panel, as intended More precisely, both snippets result in the same output Or was it related to the Netbeans issue?

Quote from LordFoobar

WIth Eclipse, third party projects are build alongside, but NetBeans don't bother to update third party sources when building a project, and happily take existing Jars even of the third party sources have changed.

Did you link the libraries, i.e. the jar files, or did you link the whole projects? In this case, Netbeans should recompile the third-party projects automatically. Also make sure the "Compile on Save" setting is active (otherwise it apparently results in awkward situations)

Quote from LordFoobar

But why? If player.addGuiElement(element) is already doing the job, why aren't every added children notified also? Same thing when removing an element?

Well, right now it is unfortunately necessary to register every single element to the player But it's definitely our intention to change that in the future, so the game handles that automatically. We need to make sure that every situation is definitely covered when introducing automatic child-parent handling.

Quote from LordFoobar

In short, GUI design is a pain.

What part is causing a pain exactly? The child-parent handling is obviously suboptimal, although adding the elements manually shouldn't cause too much hassle I know that the chances are higher to forget adding certain elements in this case, but especially when you compile plugins on the fly (and reload them with the reloadplugins command) these issues should be easily resolvable

Quote from zfoxfire

It's basically a bug in the dungeon generation

Oh it's not exactly a bug We didn't restrict the dungeons to be underground only, so these things can actually happen (although it's very rare). That's why these parts slightly resemble a tower.

However, of course real surface entrances will also be added in the future

Quote from sharkbitefischer

I have noticed many people complaining about having to excessively relog to fix java errors

Unless the blueprints contain *lots* of construction elements (tens or hundreds of thousands), this indicates that there is an issue with the server. In this case a log file would be helpful. You can find the server logs in the "Logs" subfolder in your server directory, please grab the latest one (from a session when the issues you mentioned occurred) and upload it here (please create a separate topic about that)

Quote from sharkbitefischer

it is not generating any error logs

An error log only gets created when the server crashes (or more precisely, when an error occurred which forced the server to shutdown).

Quote from sharkbitefischer

PNB won't set and you have to relog before anything works again.

If you're referring to the pnb plugin: it's unfortunately no longer compatible with the latest version of the game, since the internal item id's changed with this update, but the plugin uses hard-coded id's (so they're now referencing wrong or invalid items)

Quote from Minotorious

hmmm is the a post missing here? I cannot see a question just your answer @yahgiggle

It was a guest post which needed to be approved manually (in order to fight spam)^^

Quote from LoneAlpha_Wolf

is there a way to teleport from a cave to house?

If you have already slept in a bed or tent, you can teleport to your spawn position. To do that, open the console (key ~ or `) and type gotospawn If you haven't set your spawn point yet by sleeping in a bed or tent, you could use the findbase command to get the coordinates of your base, then type goto x z (replace x and z by the coordinates you get from the findbase command) to teleport to that location
