It's true, the callback function is never called. We will fix that with the next update
It was intended that the callback function is called when the client "successfully" enabled the marking selector, so the only thing you know at that moment is that the client actually is in "selection" mode.
You could use event.player:disableMarkingSelector, the provided callback function is called once the client actually disabled selection mode. Also an information about the area size (or in other words, the coordinates of the start- and endpoint) is provided as a parameter, so this is basically the right place to check if the selected area is valid

The only side affect you will have when keeping it is that every player will have an empty inventory after the update But deleting the chests and furnaces tables will unfortunately break all existing chests and grills in the world (it's not a big problem at all, but it would be necessary to remove and place them again).
You could fix that by starting the server (or another server, just to make sure it does not get mixed up with the original world) loading the backup world, and once it's done with converting, you could move the chests and furnaces tables into the original world database (it's necessary to shutdown the server for that).

Thanks for your nice words and your feedback btw, I'm happy to hear that

Thanks for the world! There is an inventory in your inventories table which contains an invalid item. It must be a pretty old inventory, a long time ago someone must have used the "item" command giving himself an invalid item, which caused his game to crash. It seems he never joined the game again, or he uses another name now.
We uploaded a new server (same version number though), this one should skip the erroneous inventory. Please try to convert your backup world with the new version, at least on my local machine it worked

@LordFoobar: Thanks for sending us the world! There was indeed a problem with the conversion: When a particular table (e.g. chests) was empty, it hasn't been converted. You can fix the problem by deleting all tables that are empty, then they will be recreated when loading the world. If the worlds are not too important, you can simply create a new world
We also uploaded a new version, Steam should automatically download it. If you're using the Standalone you need to delete any file (since this update has no new version number), e.g. server.jar in the data subfolder.
Thanks for helping us to find this issue

Sounds good, thanks! You can send me the link via PM once it's ready

I have seen the yellow rectangle for the second world, but did not have time to see what it was, it was there a fraction of a second, and I didn't think of copying the debug output I haven't noticed that the first time (for the first world).

That's fine, if the loading procedure did not stuck there should be no problem... Do you mind to send us your current world via email (support[at]jiw-games.net) perhaps? Then we can see if something went wrong

3 Weeks is okay, as long as it's not a few months old there should be no problem^^
What happened when loading the world for the first time after today's update? There should have been a small yellow indicator about conversion in the loading screen? Or did you perhaps cancel the loading process?

Can you please send us your backup world (where the update hasn't been applied to) via email or upload it somewhere? You can send/upload it without the "CustomImages" folder, that should reduce the file size dramatically

The code should check that such column doe exist and ALTER the table accordingly...

If this column does not exist, the world hasn't been converted to the new version (the database structure has been completely changed with this update).
Usually the world converts when loading it for the first time, unless it's a very old world version. What happened when you loaded the world for the first time after the update?

Thanks for the log! The problem happens when converting the world. Did you perhaps cancel the conversion before? When altering the table "Npc", it does not find the column "Type" (which was used before the update, in the new update it has been renamed to "TypeID").
Do you have a backup of the world? I'd recommend to replace the world by the backup and try it again

Das wird mit der gestrigen nightly zusammenhängen... Es wird aber normalerweise automatisch ein Backup angelegt, sag Bescheid wenn du bei dem Problem noch Hilfe brauchst, dann können wir das gerne via AnyDesk beheben (geht am schnellsten)

Auch von unserer Seite herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Purzeltag! Hätten wir das vorher gewusst hätten wir noch schnell ne Geburtstagstorte ins Spiel gebracht

Oh yes, sorry, of course you have to set it to true Glad to hear it worked!

Unfortunately that happens on a few machines. You can go to your game directory (steamversion: steam/steamapps/common/risingworld) and open the config.properties file with a texteditor, then set "game_bypass_fullscreenadjustment" to false true, adjust the resolution and set "graphic_refreshrate" to the refreshrate of your monitor (usually 60). Then save the file and try it again

Nach dem Server Update wurde mein Inventar zurückgesetzt. In den Kisten ist noch alles drin.

Trat leider in manchen Fällen beim Konvertieren der alten Welt auf, bezieht sich aber nur auf die Inventare. Eine neue Version (aber gleiche Versionsnummer) wurde hochgeladen, wo dieses Problem nicht mehr auftritt. Falls du noch ein Backup der Welt vom vor dem Update hast, dürfte es diesmal korrekt übertragen werden

Hi @Fobsily,
hast du Internet von einem Kabelanbieter? Falls ja, um welchen handelt es sich?
Wenn du direkt nach dem rausfliegen nicht mehr auf den Server drauf kommst (wegen "authentication"), dann geht die Internetverbindungs kurzzeitig komplett verloren. Ist dein Computer direkt via LAN Kabel mit dem Modem/Router verbunden, oder benutzt du WLAN oder DLAN?

Mit dem neuen Update sollte der autom. Reconnect eigentlich funktionieren, weiß aber nicht, ob das auch funktioniert, wenn wirklich die Verbindung komplett verloren geht

Der Log hängt damit übrigens nicht zusammen, das ist ein anderer Fehler, der gelegentlich mal zum Vorschein kommt

Hi folks,

Here is a small but important update. Unfortunately it does not introduce ores yet, we're still working on it
This update is mainly about multiplayer, since especially larger servers had some severe issues in the past. This update should fix all major problems and improve performance, especially concerning chunk loading.
Basically this also affects singleplayer.

Apart from that, this update finally introduces optional password protection for your multiplayer server, also the server output is now written into a log file (this might be interesting for Windows servers).

See the full changelog below. Stay tuned!

Hallo Leute,

hier ist ein kleines aber wichtiges Update. Leider führt es noch keine Erze ein, daran arbeiten wir noch
Dieses Update betrifft hauptsächlich den Multiplayer, da besonders größere Server einige schwerwiegende Probleme in der letzten Zeit hatten. Dieses Update sollte alle großen Probleme beheben und die Performance verbessern, besonders hinsichtlich des Chunk-Ladens.
Im Grunde genommen betrifft dies auch den Singleplayer.

Abgesehen davon führt dieses Update endlich optionalen Passwortschutz für eure Server ein. Der Serveroutput wird jetzt auch in eine Logdatei geschrieben (dürfte vor allem für Windows Server interessant sein).

Hier der volle Changelog. Bleibt gespannt auf das nächste Update

Currently it's a limitation of the game. The world has a total height of 1152 blocks, 256 blocks are for the surface. But we will add another layer (=64 block) or eventually two (=128 blocks) to the top soon
