New Update Out.


From Notch's Blog
SMP Health Update is out
I’m expecting bugs on this one, so I’m monitoring the usual channels (irc, twitter, email) extra carefully.

Basically everything I talked about in the last post is done, with some extras such as visible hurt animations (how did I forget that?) and visible fire on burning mobs.

The lighting still isn’t right, I need to rewrite it. I think I know what the problem is now, though. Or rather, I know what ONE problem is. You know when you’re traveling by boat, and you see weird strips of light on the ocean floor in multiplayer? That.

Also needed is visible armor on players and mobs (sheep!), and some tweaks to reduce laggy moving mobs. And bows and arrows.

There are a couple of new settings for the server:
pvp. True by default. If this is set to false, players can’t hurt other players.
spawn-monsters. True by default. Set to false to remove all monsters.
spawn-animals. Also true by default. Set to false to remove all animals.

[edit:]

Wow, that broke the game. Hold on while I try to fix stuff.

[edit:]

I’ve uploaded a new server and a new client, fixing the two major bugs I heard about.
I had to disable leaves decaying again (sorry!) because it caused infinite loops in certain situations.

Keep me posted, and I’ll keep fixing!

Quick list of what's still wrong:

  1. Items can still be dropped and picked up to reset their use count, but if you die, the use count will persist on the items dropped.
  2. Skeletons make no sound when shooting, and their arrows are invisible.
  3. Likewise, zombies and spiders make no sounds.
  4. The player doesn't make a sound when being hurt.
  5. Upon respawning, the player will be invisible. So will mobs.
  6. Mobs appear to take more damage than in SSP before dying. Probably because while your client shows you've hit them, the server might disagree. Lag issues.
  7. Leaves are still not decaying.
  8. When you're on fire, the screen shakes, but flames are not visible.
  9. Furnaces are fiddly (they sometimes make items disappear).

It's back up, had to wait for a new version of hMod otherwise none of the mods would work.

Ugh, I hate that there's damage now in multiplayer. Having no health bar made making outrageous things in multiplayer easy.

And the servers seem to be deserted now too, it's getting pretty boring. Think it's time for a restart?

Once Black Ops dies down and I get a little time off from working I'll probably get back into this.

New Update
The client version is now 1.2.4
The server version is now 0.2.6 (mandatory update, there’s been protocol changes)

Bug fix list:

* Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly
* Added proper hurt animations and sounds to mobs and players
* Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts
* Made arrows visible and deal damage
* Hoes now produce proper seeds
* Creepers make noises and animate before exploding
* Explosions animate properly
* No more infinite free arrows
* Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it
* Buttons and levers (and a few other blocks probably, it’s a general solution) animate properly
* Fixed minecarts (and pigs!) moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.
* The join server screen now remembers the last entered ip
* Increased chunk saving frequency on the server
* Leaving sneak mode no longer triggers a million sounds
* You can now see sneaking players
* Names of sneaking players aren’t visible through walls, and are visible a much shorter distance
* Snowballs!!

I’ll monitor for bugs for a while, then head home!

[edit:]

Server 0.2.6_01 no longer gives everyone 64 snowballs on connecting
[edit:]

Server 0.2.6_02 and client 1.2.4_01 now spawn other monsters than ONLY CREEPERS EVERYWHERE

Looks like the server will need a new update.

I think ES is currently testing the update, should go live soon.

I'd also quite like the server updated.
