  • Timber Beams

    Hello fellow medievalist.


    I know this is for roof beems as opposed to external beams. But this is all part of timber framed buildings, and the concept remains the same. :saint:


    I use multiple beams to create one beam. In the bellow example, each tie beam below the king post is actually created with 10 construction objects.


    Each side of the tie beam consists of two "main beams" with a minor angle offset in the middle. Then one side is thickened with 2 x smaller beams with an increating obtuse angle. The central part is rounded off with an elongated half cylinder.






    Quote from messy

    I tried stretching a single rounded edge block into the beam length but when you do that the edges get warped into an odd pointy look.


    If you're going to do this. Use a normal straight "square" beem. Then add smaller rounded block beams to the ends. Use the manual position tool to sink one end of the rounded block into the other. This creates the effect of a rounded end beam.



  • problems with plugins

    How to install / run a plugin


    Pretty much the same procedure with Unity, I think the only difference is that plugins is with a capital P.


    But... I'm pretty sure this is only relevant for linux based systems. Which a lot of rented servers are.


    In Windows, Plugin and plugin can't exist within the same directory. But in linux plugin and Plugin are seen as different, including pLugin plUgin etc.

  • Set Gap

    The gap, I mean when you drag a construction element to lay a row of them.


    You use + and - keys to set the gap.


    The gap comes up at the bottom of the screen, but it's increments are like 0.01 ~ 0.05


    So when you want to set the gap to 2.5 (for example) it takes a long time.


    Then you have to reset it again (manually with the - key) in order to get the gap back to 0.


    Quote from Yaromid

    I think it depends on the positioning precision (if not then maybe the scaling precision?), so setp


    Just tried this Yaromid and you're spot on! :party:


    I'm often playing with precesion at 0.01 ~ 0.05 which will explain why the gap, when I was trying to use it, was always incrementing as such low values.


    Thanks guys :D:thumbup:

  • Server Requirements For New Version with plugin API

    Just a heads up, Server 2012, and 2012 R2 are EOL in less than two months.


    You certainly wouldn't want these servers connected to the Internet after 10th Oct.


    Also, as far as using Windows as a server, pretty much every BC company runs Windows servers. I think that says it all.


    Yes Linux is great too. Even Microsoft acknowledge this, I believe Windows Azure actually runs as a VM from RedHat servers.


    At the end of the day, servers are tools, you just need to pick a tool and use it. So long as it works for you, that's the main thing 😀

  • Save Custom Graphics Settings

    Hi,


    Would be great if we could save the settings within the custom graphics settings.


    Each time I select custom, I have to change the settings each time from the custom default.


    I often switch between medium and custom (depending on what I'm doing). I'm sure I'm not the only one.

  • WorldProtection, Self claim protection plugin

    The server didn't crash (so good news).


    Code
    WARNING] [16:20:32] PluginManager - HandleError: A plugin runs riot!


    Basically if a plugin creates too many null pointer errors the server will cleanly shutdown.


    Code
    [WARNING] [16:20:32] Exit (1)


    As a temp fix, go into your server.properties file and edit the Plugin_ErrorThreshold and set the value higher.


    I'm sure yahgiggle just needs to add a null pointer check in his code. :thumbup:

  • PlayerCraftItemEvent

    I just figured the CraftItemEvent would return a string or an ID I could then use to cancel the event and send a notification to the player saying this item (or object) is locked, if the identifier was of a certain type. Or accomplish via runtime polymorphism...


    I mean, heh, you get players joining a medieval themed server and then building glass structures with glass doors and using metal yellow and black chevrons with purple incandescent lights. *roll eyes* because I guess that's just what some people do.


    Administrative controls are fine to a degree, but I'll always opt for the technical contol.


    But if it can't be done right now, it can't be done :)


    Doing a great job mate :thumbup:

  • PlayerCraftItemEvent

    Hi red51


    The PlayerCraftItemEvent "event.getItem().getName();" returns null, is it too much to ask that we can get this in the update tonight? :saint:


    This would be super helpful in locking out modern day items as I know the permissions files doesn't really work for this yet. I don't mind doing the leg work :D
