We call them 'methods' in Java

Well I did not make my living programming. I only started playing with Java when I picked up Rising World after I retired from 50 years of engineering and engineering management. Programmers built their routines to my specifications and from my feedback input on how the machines should behave in practical application. I had Fortran with WatFor and WatFiv in undergrad College run on punch cards on a main frame that had a one week turnaround for output. I did take one PLC class years later in post grad. Forgive me for messing up the vernacular as we always called them computer routines or applications. But hey I guess if I can learn to make the JAVA thingie do what I want, I can call it a 'method' in here so I won't get laughed at near the water cooler. Thanks for the heads up

Sometimes clicking the X on the search box at the top brings back the list of blueprints.

Actually this works to get you back the Thumbnail section on the left with all the pictures. This is enough to save you the trouble of relogging. However, you do not get the menu of items on the left hand list side and directory list.

Is this thread still valid? It says that Java is not being used or SQL? Is this claim just for the game or including plugins which seems to still use JAVA?

Just use Ant

Yep that is what I have been using most of my projects are pretty basic level so not needing huge underlying support for the code structure. Thanks

Yes, there is a language extension for English.
It should also be in English, but the penultimate Update with dme, a distinction between the System and in-game voice settings.
It Responds to the settings of the game.

But as long as the are not de, it will Automatically en.

Or did I get you Wrong? What Comandos do you mean?

No that is what I was asking. I am keen to try this but awaiting the finding of a suitable model to load. Not wanting to pay for a model I would prefer. I will try it,Thanks.

Does this have english command support or only German?

Ok I am confused by Netbeans when creating a new project. It gives you all these selections ; Java with Ant ; Java with Maven; Java with Gradle. Any Suggestions on which is the best to choose when starting a new Plugin for Rising World?

Not yet. It is planned tho

ROFL ... ok thanks. The chuckle is because the it is planned is beginning to feel like the Movie : The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and his contractors always saying when asked how long will it take. "Two Weeks!"

Seems I can use my blueprints but if I get to the point that the server stops from using them (setting in confige, I know) my blueprint directory dissappears even if I relog and get another set. Is this a feature of the game? The only way I get my blueprint directory back is to reboot my computer.

Update on this. I only have to close the game completely to get my file listings back.

I cant seem to remember where this feature is or if it is in the Unity Version?

Wow nice work makes me laugh. How can one have the time and patience. Love it .

What kind of movement/flow are you looking for specifically? Do you refer to ocean waves?

Ocean waves are actually planned But unfortunately we have no ETA for that yet... it will happen after replacing the Java version with the new version.

If you're looking for flowing water, the new version already has flowing water, but it only takes terrain into account for collision for now. The only change that's planned is that water will also detect construction elements in the future (at least construction elements with a minimum size).

Water has a fixed resolution (one water cell has the size of a block), unfortunately it's not possible to have more detailed water (i.e. consisting of much smaller cells/blobs) in a performance-friendly way...

Having detailed flowing water on a large scale isn't possible (yet) from a technical point of view unfortunately. If a single water drop would have the size of 1 cm (which is still a big water drop), a tiny 4x4 pond would already consist of millions of water drops. While modern GPUs can actually handle this on a small scale in realtime, this is far from being usable in a game like RW. On the one hand, the game needs this on a larger scale (what if the player wants to have more than just a tiny pond of physically accurate water?), on the other hand, this data needs to be accessible by the CPU (because the game has to sync the water state between clients in multiplayer, and it also has to store the water state on the hard drive, so it doesn't get reset everytime you restart the game/server).

So the question originally is in regards to the ocean and somewhat on ponds. I look out in a storm and notice the large body of water just sits there reducing immersion. The trees sway and even the grass sways. In a small pond the plants (Lilies) just sit there when the wind blows and as such detract from immersion. This game wows, friends of mine stop in awe at sundown colors or the sky at night that 'devil is in the details' you have already enfixed to the game .

As a wish list on flowing waters, I would like to direct water from the hilltops through hollow cylindrical building pieces and channels of blocks simulating aqueducts.

Quote from CursedXistence

Personally I think the big thing people are wanting would be particle effects to make fountains, running faucets, splashing water, etc. things like that to go along with the water blocks you had mentioned about adding beforehand. I could be totally wrong but it seems a common thing for people to call that "flowing water", not knowing it's just particle effects.

I am looking forward to such effects as they are important to the finished look of flowing waters. You are correct that these are effects that a visual and needed as in a sprinkler system providing water to plants or a beautiful water fountain in a city center. Hopefully this is put in in a form of technologies like electricity and wire where click and run pipes can be installed from a water source and provide such displays as sprinklers that add to the growing and farming techniques as well.

Right now I have way too many NPCs on my server. They are spawning and ending up group up against mountains and water in huge herds. Is there a way to limit them short of deleting them all at once or one by one ?

Does it flow through pipes?

Also Water Lilys should move with the water in a pond. They look nice but a great look would be for them to sway with the water. You will make Monet happy too.

The Trees and grass sway in the wind but the water just stays there. I know it ripples but it would be nice if we could get some weather in the oceans too.

there is a reloadpermissions command just for this

Yes and No on that. I restarted my server which should have reloaded the permissions (I would think) but it did nothing. The files are corrupted and are not seen by the server. I have a different post about this problem. All the files were in the directory but the game only saw that ones that were not adjusted. If they are corrupted by an online save or some fancy text / font crap they are not seen. I had this same experience in the JAVA version servers I ran. The listing of all the files in the directory and the listing in game for an area

Solved this was a corrupted permissions file that was edited online and not moved to a separate computer and edited with generic editor.

Hello everyone

to add permission areas protection players

I looked at the example but I still only have the 3 displayed on the server even if I add other permissions

default permission

},

"area": {

"addplayer": false,

"removeplayer": false,

"setname": false

},

permission Areas

{

"area": {

"addplayer": false,

"canenter": true,

"canleave": true,

"removeplayer": false,

"setname": false

},

Hello everyone

to add permission areas

I looked at the example but I still only have the 3 displayed on the server even if I add other permissions

I tried several attempts but always the 3 by default are displayed

I may have an error name files or not in the correct file location

thanks all

You have to be careful editting these .json files as if they are changed while the server is running the server will not pick them up. It is best to use a generic editor or notepad and just save it over the file to avoid adding extra textural information being added to the file and the server will ignore it. Best is to make a copy and name the old one backup.json or something. They do need to be in the Areas directory for the server routine to see them. I just had this problem on my server and had to remove the corrupted files, re-edit a back up file and move it to the server Area directory.
