No, you can't save it manually, it is automatically saved every 10 seconds (something like that) and also when quitting the game, but we can introduce a command to also force-save it manually. But I'm afraid that won't help with your problem, because something seems to go wrong with the saving procedure itself.
So your worlds are still available, but everything you changed in the world will be reverted the next time? Are you using steam or standalone version? Tried to start the application as administrator?

//Edit: Okay just saw your post in the other thread that you are using the standalone. In which folder did you extract the game from the zip? There seems to be something wrong wit accessing the files, since you are saying in the other thread that corrupted worlds can't be deleted (never seen this issue before). Perhaps running the application as administrator (rightclick on the exe) may solve your problem.

As said, it's already sufficient to delete the config.properties file only, so you don't lose your savegame
The default resolution ingame is 1280x720, this is possibly not supported by your display (usually unsupported resolutions don't appear at all, but this doesn't seem to work on all OS). In most cases it works when you select ingame the same resolution as on your desktop.

Hello,

Whenever I try to play Rising World it says I need to download Java Runtime Environment which I have downloaded three times now, and done the process, however the game is still saying that I need to download Java Runtime Environment.
What should I do?

Many thanks,
LeightonJR

Please install 64 bit Java if you have a 64 bit operating system. It is necessary to manually download it, don't let Java do the job for you, it will only download and install the 32 bit version. Here you find more information about the installation: http://steamcommunity.com/app/…ons/0/617321352104403855/

I have had no problem with any other games apart from this one drivers are up to date and all of the java is installed yet it is still crashing and starting to get annoying since i paid for the game...

It seems that you're having an Intel HD 3000 (at least as far as I can find out about the Asus X54C). The driver version from your last post is from 2011 (8.15.10.2559), the old Intel drivers have some bugs, especially related to OpenGL (so other games could work, since most Windows-only games use DirectX). Intel already released newer versions, fixing all those major bugs. The latest driver version is 15.28.22.3517 (2014/10).

The important thing is, that you install 64 bit Java on a 64 bit operating system. Do not let Java install the version automatically, in most cases it will only install the 32 bit version.
If it does not work, please remove Java completely from your system, make sure it is really gone, and then reinstall it. It's also helpful in some cases to reboot your computer when the installation is done.

If we have access to ray-cast functions from Lua (and I don't know yet if we do), I wonder if we could create a Lua scripted sign system. Place an object that represents a sign, like a road sign, draw a collider box around it, just like the area protection script draws the area collider, then label it and give a description that will pop up when the player looks at it, or maybe looks at it and pushes the action key.

That's a good idea! We will add this function to LUA Indeed, this would make such things you described possible. We will add functions to create collisionbodies, and a function to do ray casts against them.

I am setting up a new repository site for Rising World mod development. It is http://www.risingworldmods.com. It's not set up yet, but will be soon. I am looking at using a combination of Joomla and Remository.

Oh, that's cool! We should link that on our homepage

Unfortunately Microblocks don't fit into our current block system. Blocks like slabs are coming soon, but there won't be something like the redpower2 mod =/ Those things could be done with the extended construction system (currently wooden planks, beams, windows etc.). This allows you to freely place elements in the world, which can also be rotated and scaled.

Merkwürdig. Eigentlich bist du automatisch Admin im Singleplayer Spiel (wer auch sonst?^^). Wir prüfen das nochmal genauer nach.

I must say: Pretty cool stuff you're doing with LUA!

You can also just delete the config.properties file in your game folder (Steam/SteamApps/commons/RisingWorld), or manually edit it (look for "graphic_fullscreen" [for fullscreenmode] and eventually for "graphic_resolution_x" and "graphic_resolution_y" [for resolution]).

Thanks for letting us know! Currently the max player count does not work at all, this will be fixed with the next version

Not yet. We will add a tool in the future which enables you to remove objects without destroying them

Mac has a nasty "bug" (not our fault): JDK 1.6 is preinstalled, and Java always prefer the JDK over the JRE. So it doesn't matter which JRE version you install, it always uses the outdated JDK.

Please go to your game folder (rightclick on Rising World in your Steam library, select Properties, go to "local files" and then hit "browse local files...". Please open the "info" file and have a look at the content. If it starts with

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
steamloader/SteamLoader : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

then you need to install the newest version of the JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetw…k8-downloads-2133151.html

Im NVIDIA Control Center kann das normalerweise eingestellt werden. Alternativ funktioniert manchmal auch ein Rechtsklick auf die .exe (im Spielverzeichnis), und dort die direkte Zuweisung eines Grafikprozessors.

Spielst du Multiplayer? In dem Fall musst du Admin sein, damit du den Befehl ausführen darfst.

Thank you very much for the nice words, merci beaucoup!!
Of course you can start a Youtube series, we always like to watch videos about the game

Have fun!

When we're going to add controller support somewhen in the future, it's our goal to allow custom mapping But ofc can't get into detail yet about a feature we haven't even started working on

Single- or multiplayer? Does the process of the game perhaps still run in background after quitting the game (this may prevent the world from saving)?

Oh, I've seen the screenshot in Steam before I saw this topic and was wondering
Anyway: Some of them are transparent, because they're not implemented^^ So no need to worry

Hört sich gut an! Behalten wir im Hinterkopf, bis wir uns dann an Sand ransetzen bzw. den Prozess Sand -> Glas

Hast du eine zweite Grafikkarte? Das Spiel erkennt momentan nur eine integrierte Intel HD Grafikkarten. Falls du also ein zweite Karte hast, musst du diese als primären Adapter dem Spiel zuweisen.
Falls du nur die Intel HD hast, und es sich um eine Intel HD 3000 oder HD 4000 handelt, dann musst du den neusten Intel Treiber installieren.
