I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but many report getting stuck on my server. I have a few who can't even play the game since the update, very slow to load, even when offline or single player for them. Also my server is getting flooded with odd behaviour, mostly when I am in creative mode building for the server, huge memory leaks occur within 30 minutes after restart then the world does not render properly (if I am building in creative). I am attaching the log, if you inspect, you will see a lot of repeats toward the end especially like: "START 11 54 14 STEP BACK START 11 55 14 STEP BACK" .. log file is 30MB in size, zipped to 2.8MB, but still too large to attach to this. Send me a PM with a link to your dropbox, i can send to you what is occurring ( red51)

@Edit - i was just able to send you a PM Red, with attached log. Logs are getting huge now and spammed with "START 11 54 14 STEP BACK START 11 55 14 STEP BACK" over and over. Performance drops quickly if I start using creative tools and eventually takes down server.

Ya Animal Breed Plugin looks like it may need to be updated. Tamed animals on my server no longer show the nametag etc.

@Skillsmatter looks like you are either not at the same patch level as the server, or you need a reboot. A hotfix came out last night, and Steam sometimes needs to be restarted to get the new updates released. Steam doesn't auto patch very well. The connecting client needs to be be at same patch level as server, and usually you will get an error stating you have a different version.

Thanks for the log, this issue will be fixed with the next update (probably available in 1-2 days) Still looking for the broken motor issue though...

Anytime Red, if you need help testing anything feel free to send me a PM anytime. The broken motor issue is tied to that error, only happens if I crash while trying to get in. It's definitely related to the crash I reported. I am wondering if it may be a plugin conflict issue. I do know ABM isn;t working right sinc the update and needs to be updated apparently. (nametag of animals no longer show up, haven't fully tested yet but others are reporting problems with ABM also). Thanks again for your game and updates. We have got our money's worth that is for sure. I'll let you know if I discover more info in regard to the issue, will do more poking around today.

I posted the log above. Game only crashes when getting into boat, but seems intermittent. Check my prior post. If java crashes, then I relog back in, im able to jump back in boat but motor will no longer work (the boat it crashed on). Other boats will work fine. The crash seems tied to getting into a boat, happens more if boat is close to shore, and I have been flying, using commands and such. Also confirmed, once the motor is broken, other players can't drive it either. The problem happened to one player only once all night. Happened to me consistently.

That's strange... did it happen in singleplayer or multiplayer? oO

Multiplayer. One regular players it happened to them. I find that it is more commonly triggered because im admin, and flying and using commands and such. Can't find the exact repro, but trying. Happens quite frequent if im flying, doing commands then attempt to jump back in and drive boat. Happened a bunch tonight. Here's the latest log errorlog_1538022285228.log

Red one bug I have found with motorboat. I can get it to crash to desktop (the client). While in water mostly partially on land at waters edge, hop out of boat, then try to access engine while swimming to ride again. I find I can reproduce it more often if I fly. many times it will crash my client with the following java report: Error occurred during application-update (25)
java.lang.NullPointerException

THEN when I log back in, the engine won't start. I can hop in the drivers seat, but engine wont start nor will boat move. Making a new boat works fine. Boat I crashed on will not.

Also a suggestion: render distance of boats is minimal, could you increase that a bit? You need to be close to them for it to render.

Wen you need to change gears using Q and E keys .. you are in neutral, indicated by the N in lower right corner .. switch to reverse or forward

earthworms are easy to find. especially if it is raining. JUst use the rake, and they will appear, pick them up. it baits the fishing pole auto when having them in inventory. cast out the line .. use right click to keep jigging it, until you get a bite or two then left click to reel catch in. can even find bags that way (with various items, like grenade etc)

Thank you Red!! had fun checking all the updates. brilliant stuff. the PVP bug fixes are MUCH appreciated, not being able to access chests and objects through walls in particular .. oh my, pvp admins will thank you for that for sure. all the drama that has caused in the past I hope stays there (in the past) .. perrrfect!!

You have to consider, it's summer time. All servers in all games have less players during the summer. People are on vaca, trying to enjoy time outside before school starts and while it is warm out. When the days get shorter and the weather colder, and new updates released, expect an influx of additional MP players.

Keep doing what you are doing, they will come. The few who are playing, gravitate toward more populated servers if they are not hosting themselves.

Also, I've had a few of my players leave to start their own servers. Most don;t last for a month, after they realize it's not actually easy and requires work. I even encourage some to go to other PVE focused servers, because I tire from bad attitudes that develop by some who literally freak when they get raided. I say 'maybe PVE is better suited for you', no sense in poisoning chat with hate when pvp is not your thing.

things to consider

Wanted to ask for myself and my players, does this java version prevent tnt AND BPs from destroying blocks and terrain from within a claim?

I agree, also with other predatory animals (boars, jaguars, spiders, snakes etc). But Red mentioned in other posts he is reworking AI, so I'm sure it will get better in time.

ya its very odd. At 1st I thought it was an admin friend playing a joke on me, but then it happened one night when I was the only admin on. Very odd, other horses were not affected, just that one. Only one player has experienced this also. Both horses this happens to, are in inaccessible spots. Just wanted to mention it. Will report back if it happens again.

Also an observation, locknpc command will be overridden by placing a saddle on a horse and remove it. So if said horse is locked by admin using the locknpc command, it stays locked, until you place a saddle on it and remove it (then it wanders again).

Mino you are always very helpful in more ways than you may know. Thank you so much for a relevant response. Angriff, sorry you were offended, i just felt you high jacked my post a bit, that is all. peace!

angriff, all I can say is your responses in this thread are semi off topic and quite ambiguous. Maybe an attempt to buff up your forum stats? Not sure (no offense).

Why would you place a poster over a sign if you do not want the text to bleed through? Why place a sign at all if this is the case? If you are using the sign as a placeholder then, you could simply reverse the sign and the text would never bleed through (or move the poster out one notch and the text would not bleed through).

RW always allowed text bleed through of signs onto posters if they are placed directly on signs, up until recently.

Ahh I see. You assume I use aktivesign plugin, i do not.

Before you say that someone stole them, horses stored in inaccessible locations, randomly will lose their saddle and saddle bag. This has happened to me at least 3 times and another player of mine once (he lost all the contents that were in the saddle bag as well). Seems to only happen if the horse has both saddle AND saddle bag. Other horses we have with just a saddle do not appear to be affected.

Has anyone else experienced this?

You are missing my point. I want the bleed through. Makes customization of in game working signs easy to just place a poster over them for a background vs wood grain options we have. I don't want to have to fire up photo shop every time I want to update/change the text on my signs. I think the font is fine. And why place an in game sign when you have custom signs?? Makes no sense why you would have text on the in game signs, or even use them at all, if you need to offset your posters that you place over them. My point was, signs with posters over them do NOT function as they used to since recent updates.

Since the last update or two, signs no longer allow text to bleed through posters placed on top of them. This used to be very nice, as you could make signs with a custom background. Now, the poster hides all text below. Not a serious issue, just had to redo a bunch of signs on our server. Would be nice to have this feature back, even if it was not intended.

only admins can TP on our server, otherwise players have portals they can use (thanks to mino). I dont think a PVP server should have /tp home abilities lol, heck no. Even portals is a bit much, but at least they have to travel to that location. PVP/Survival orientated here.

Also, wanted to note, portals work great with horses too!! (if they are large enough lol) 4x6 space/opening/entrance needed, so I need to resize my return portals to main spawning no pvp town (Port Chesterfield)
