  player.setLocationTickerText("Test", true);  

Cannot find symbol.

THe Libraries Classpath is set the the one that's in the server folder.

Ahh coolio.

It was more for database browsing ease from MySQL Workbench as I'm in there a lot anyway.

[New] SQLite and MySQL database support

Does this mean that we can use MySQL in the future for RW database instead of SQLite?

uses internal String magic

Love it.

Yes, I'm more so just concatanaging two string together, possily on a fairly regular basis (UI stuff). But this is after compilation and no nested loops or such.

So I think I may just stick with the + operator in the code as it's quicker (to write)

which will be ready in the next couple of hours

The main part of this error message is:

AddressInUseException: Port 4255 (UDP) is already in use!

Have you forgotten to close down a previously running server?

So having time to digest this.

Am I correct to believe that it's always going to be better to use the StringBuilder class over String?

Hi fellow plugin dudes (and game devs),

Bit of Friday night code optimization chat.

Now on my blog, around three years ago I wrote somthing that goes a little like:

"So I’ve always done it with the plus (+) operator turns out using a prefix $ is much more efficient in terms of memory usage."

//less efficient
string newString = firstString + " said hello";
//more efficient
string newString = $"{firstString} said hello";

Disclaimer: honesty I can't actually remember posting this.

So I just tried it (as I still just use the plus operator) as below:

 String firstString = "foo";
 string newString = $"{firstString} bar";

But I just get an error message. " ; expected "

I think, the problem is that this was wrongfully filed under Java (which I'm trying to compile it as), when in fact it may very well be C# code.

First off, am I right that this is C#?

Second, and more importantly, what do you think is the most optimal way of string concatination? Using the plus operator or using the String classes concat operator?

Answers about it being negligable are not accepted.

paulevs I'm interested in knowing your thoughts on this

Hi,

I've noticed a few times that the Debug Console gets spammed with NPC X IS FALLING (X, Y Z) events.

Maybe a counter with a threshold and a npc.destroy() method in required?

Sorry, so in the meantime if I use loadFromFile what does the string look like?

On the assumption the resource is in a res folder in the Plugins directory

Plugins/MedievalRealms/res

Loading from plugin resources is broken atm unfortunately But we try to get it fixed with the upcoming hotfix However, loading from a file (e.g. from plugins folder), url, asset bundle or raw byte data should still work.

Oooh so ..

 ta = TextureAsset.loadFromPlugin(plugin, "res/test.jpg");

Should work in the future? I would very much like to keep all the assets bundled up in the same jar

Thanks for the reply Red Legend.

Hehe I'm a hobbiest programmer, so not sure what gradle is

In the Java version I did this:

 ImageInformation ii= new ImageInformation(plugin.getPath() + "\\resources\\gui\\tab01.png");

I've just had a good with this:

TextureAsset image = TextureAsset.loadFromFile(plugin.getPath() + "\\res\\test.jpg");
style.backgroundImage.set(image);

Now I don't get an error messages, in fact I get a "Loading asset (Texture) from cache: D:\MR2\Plugins\MedievalRealms\res\test.jpg" from the console, so it finds the file.

However, when I log into my test server the images are missing (transparent bg).

Hi paulevs

You mean like:

Plugins/PluginFolderName/PluginName

Plugins/PluginFolderName/PluginName/res/text.jpg

Hope that makes sense! I will give it a try (that's what I did in the Java version), was just hoping we could have packed it all into one Jar

 ta = TextureAsset.loadFromPlugin(plugin, "res/test.jpg");

What path do we need to use for loading images as a texture asset from within the JAR? I would use a path similar to the above in JavaFX but with the plugin I get a "The system cannot find the path specified" error.

Hello,

So on the Java version, I made it so that players couldn't drop the Primitive Stone Axe - because without it a player is effectively at the mercy of other players offering tools as a gift.

The recipe for this item is 1x stone and 2x sticks.

I know that players can now pick up stones (rock), would it also be possible in a future update that players could pick up sticks too or maybe punch a tree several times and eventually get a stick?

(Think of the realism! Punching trees to get sticks! )

Seriously though, an action key initiated timer on a tree would work? Like the gutting of animals but "Gathering stick".

This would cure the whole, "no tools" problem.

Hi Red,

Not sure if you'll have time, but if it's a nice quick job... can we also get access tp the OnPlayerSleepEvent again?

It's an iceberg lettuce.

Does this mean you could do something like:

player.showLocationTicker("Sorry pal,<br>your white socks are giving me a headache");

Quote from red51

(it even supports line breaks)

The latter.

I would like this text to always show to players, achieved currently through server.properties file. I don't think this would need changing?

But I would like to set this text by API calls, as you mention -

player.showLocationTicker("Sorry pal, your white socks are giving me a headache");

Having just said that, what do you think would be the max character count here?
