Are you asking for support for a pirated version of the game? A game that cost £11? That's also an indie game?

You can try games on Steam for up to one hour and get a refund if you don't like it.

I can wait out however long it needs to render a whole map.

It's not the rendering time that's the issue. The application can render the whole map. The problem is there are no viewers that can open up such a large file that the application generates. This is why the in-game map, as well as every map application out there (including Google Maps and Bing Maps) use separate images and stitch them together as your scroll around the map. A principle called Map Tiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiled_web_map

There will be a way to process larger maps and compress them into a smaller image, but believe me that process is extremely complex and requires a lot of in-depth knowledge in computer graphics. Looking at each pixel one-by-one and looking at its neighbouring pixels and then generating a new pixel map. And it always results in data loss.

That's the big problem with image compression.

Here's an 'a', its pixels as displayed on a screen, and finally the data structure behind it. If you visit each pixel and analyse its neighbours and recreate a smaller file (to reduce the pixel dimensions from 12x14 to say 6x7) then you actually end up with just a mess of pixels and the "information" (in this case the character 'a') will be lost. Same principle with the maps in Rising World, just on a larger scale.

Just wondering why this was depreciated? There doesn't seem any other way to draw lines / circles.

P.s. I can try using guipanels that are 1px by 1px and Bresenham's algorithm myself as a workaround but I think that might cause performance issues?

a whole big map would be difficult to manipulate I think ?

Yep. The maps Solveign app generates are already 85MB (for me at least) which is massive when you think most web pngs are less than 1MB.

That's eating up more memory than Windows XP needed to run!

I use win grep for searches

java -jar file.jar wont work here as there is no manifest attribute ( @Solveign yet)

@Minotorious hehe yes that is also a awesome non-plugin plugin

@Minotorious Is there a performance benefit in using powershell over cmd? If cmd works for the job why use powershell?

Are you typing java -cp .;./* ch.sfu.mapviewer.MapViewer ? or java -cp .:./* ch.sfu.mapviewer.MapViewer

You need to use .;./* with Windows or you will get a failed to load main class error.

(I'll upload a screen grab)

This is what I did (on Windows 10 Pro - but will work on any Windows OS variant)

Download the zip folder.

Create a folder in C: root called MapViewer (Windows 8 and onward you will need to confirm this action as it requires admin rights to create a folder in the root of C).

Extract the zip folder contents to the folder you just created (C:\MapViewer). The folder should now contain two jar files. (mapviewer-0.0.1.jar and pngj-2.1.1.jar). You must move the jar files into the MapViewer folder.

Press Windows Key and R to to open up Run Dialogue, type in cmd press enter (this will open up a console screen).

Type in CD\MapViewer and press enter (you'll be typing this in after your username (e.g. c:\users\username> )

type (or copy and paste) java -cp .;./* ch.sfu.mapviewer.MapViewer and press enter ( you should be in c:\MapViewer\ when you do this on the console).

Program will launch.

Map files are located in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steam apps\common\rising world\maps (not on my PC so this is a guess of the path)

(Should be enough information but if you need more just ask!)

Look closely at this screen grab:

Best non-plugin plugin on RW

Sounds like the host to me then.

RW uses a lot of CPU as opposed to GPU. Do you have lag playing on SP or on a public multiplayer server? Might be worth testing out imo to rule out it being a problem with the host. I've had numerous website hosts over the years, some have been great some have been abysmal (I know it's different but it's also the same )

As always, awesome!

YAML is very strict yes but so too are all languages. If you have problems copy and paste an example and edit it (that how I started).

chatcolor: 0xFFFFFF
chatnamecolor: 0xFFFFFF


items:
  crafting:
    deny:
    - repeater

p.s. In regards to spacing - tab and space bar are not the same thing.

Do you need this to find out if a stack has been splitted "inside" the inventory/chest (i.e. the new stack still remains in the inventory/chest), or is it just relevant when moving the new stack from the inventory to a chest (or vice versa)?

Good morning Red, It relevant for when moving and splitting a new stack from inventory to chest as well as chest to inventory.

So the following methods

public void onPlayerChestToInventoryEvent(PlayerChestToInventoryEvent event) { }


public void onPlayerInventoryToChestEvent(PlayerInventoryToChestEvent event) { }

What is happening is it is creating illegal states (amongst other things). You will actually get kicked from the server with a "you are using modified files" warning.

INFO: Player Yahwho illegal state: ChestStackExchange: Origin item is null


INFO: Player Yahwho illegal state: InventoryToChestStackExchange: Origin item is null

When you drag a stack from inventory to chest and try to stack an existing item in the chest (with right click) you also get a a graphic glitch

I am using:

event.getItem().getStacksize();

to detect the exchanged stack size, but when a stack is split with right click I have no means to detect that this has happened. I.e. the exchange is actually 1 instead of say 64

Hmm well my requirement isn't for taking from a protected area (my protection plugin stops you even viewing the contents of a protected chest) so no stealing there.

My problem is somewhat different but still requires the ability to check if a stack have been split. I've been looking through the API for a while now but can't seem to see anything that would do the job.

I take it Mino you're sunning yourself on a beach somewhere?

And when you say fix, you mean only allow split stack in your own inventory? That would solve the problem!

Hehe yes I didn't want to mention why I needed it!

That said, is there a way to disable mouse input listeners by button?

Is there such a listener or is this a call for API request?

I see

Use the + - keys as spunky linked.

You can also use this in conjunction with the setp command (set precision). Such as

setp veryhigh

And back again with setp default

The shift key (think that's the one - I'm on my phone right now) will lock an object so you can move it and check reference view points.

There are a bunch of excellent videos on YouTube explaining 'advanced' RW building mechanics.

Hope that helps.
