Development / Re: Server Crashing Issues
« on: December 07, 2010, 09:24:20 pm »
OK, left it running for about an hour, came back and saw this on the console.

What port are you running mineserver in? Looks like some random connection is made and thus crashing the server. I know we should do something to prevent it =b


Also I think you need to format whatever print function you are using like %02X, cause i think 0x4 is supposed to be 0x04?

Same thing? ;)

hmm..sorry for the delay, I've been wondering about this.

Maybe too slow upload rate on the server?

Would you guys rather us post bugs on github under the issues or your bug tracker at http://redmine.fknsrs.biz/projects/mineserver ?

We prefer the redmine ;) Thats the reason we have our own bug tracker..

Support / Re: config help..
« on: December 03, 2010, 01:45:01 pm »
I just want to point out that Mineserver is still under development and does not have all the features that the original server software has ;)

1: no mobs (friendly or otherwise) seem to be spawning.. Is there something that I need to add to the config file to enable critters/monsters?
Mobs are not implemented

2: when I tried just running it on it's own, the map it generated seemed to have no trees or stone.. Since I'm gonna be running it with the game I had saved previously, that's not too much of an issue now, but it's leaving me wondering if trees are going to grow properly?
The map generator is also in heavy development. Trees don't grow just yet. There was a commit for growing saplings to (simple!) trees but it's not taken to the main branch yet...

3: Is there something somewhere that explains the Cave Configuration and Beaches section of the config? I'd like to know a bit more about what they do..
Not yet..the cave generators etc. were only made couple of days ago.. And I was told those configurations do nothing at the moment ;)

4: I can't seem to get the whitelist going..
strange..I have to ask someone to check it.. Did you use case-sensitive names?

Sorry if this is all covered somewhere obvious, but I've looked at the wiki and through the forum and can't seem to find much info..
Not a problem.

I gotta say though, it seems to be running well on my machine! I Couldn't get the official server to work properly without crashing or messing up somehow and booting me after less than 20 seconds logged in, so this is a godsend for me :D

Nice to hear =) But be aware there are still some serious bugs in Mineserver..like if you go too far from each other in the game the clients will crash ;) This is being fixed at the moment...
You can check http://redmine.fknsrs.biz/projects/mineserver/issues for bugs and if you have some new ones you can also report them! Also feature requests are welcome!

Hi! I'm Fador or as some people (rarely) call me, Marko Viitanen.

I'm located in Tampere, Finland.

I've had some "home servers" for over 10 years but just recently bought a real server in which I run a website of my own (and also mineserver.be).

I first started programming when I was something like 14 year old. My dad was on a C-course and had some material in Finnish so I started reading it and coding on my own. Something simple like text adventures ;) I didn't do much programming back in the days but like 5 years later I started to code again. And I also started with PHP and other languages like Java,Flash Actionscript and Javascript.

I'm employed and I also study in Tampere University of Technology. I study computer systems, not so much programming, hardware related stuff like VHDL only. Altough I've been taking more programming courses lately for fun ;). I've earlier this year made my Bachelor of Science thesis (some courses still missing!) and aiming for MSc degree. I been working for two years as a research assistant in a video compression related project where I do some C and VHDL coding. So I'm not so experienced in C++.

Age: 26

Other hobbies: Girlfriend is a hobby?

I started this mineserver project mostly because I needed some lightweight server for myself and I was sure I could do a better job than Notch ;) But for some reason other people got interested and here we are =D

Dont work :)

I must confess I didnt check for binaries on the github page though. My apologies if the stuff I need is on there. I have a few questions though.
We don't provide binaries yet because the software is not usable at this stage ;)

1.Are you planning on using multiple threads? It'd be really nice if I could assign certain cores to the server and leave the one the client uses alone. I hate adding to any lag thats already there.

We are going to use threads.

2.Will this server be 100% compatible with the client, even if the client gets an update? I'm guessing the server will download the java files from the minecraft site and work using either a wrapper or interpreter?

No. For every update we might have to do manual updates too. Java is not compatible with C++ (in which Mineserver is written) and Mineserver is not a wrapper or anything like that. Mineserver is a full custom server totally separate from the original java server.

3.Where do babies come from?
You'll learn that when you're older ;)

4.What are the main goals and objectives for this server? e.g are you planning on adding features that Notch might not add/doesnt want to add?

First we'll try to get everything working almost like the java server does and then we can start adding some new features. We will also make a plugin system for third party plugins. Mainly we try to make a replacement for the java server with less CPU/memory resources used.

Anyways, hope things go good for you guys and im sure you're going to get a great deal of interest in the coming weeks!

Thanks!
