Re: What is BWF?

Given that the additional log is legitimate, I find it rather interesting that slowpoke thinks an outburst in a private sub-forum and the improvement of a feature that has been stolen from inspired by BTW in the first place justifies the full-blown copying of BTW to press it (it's functionality) int...

Re: What is BWF?

Theory vs reality.. it is the same story everywhere. My Database-Professor repeated like a mantra that there shall not be JOINS over more that three tables if one of those holds more that 10k Datasets. Guess how shocked I was when I found that there were JOINS in production over ~5 Tables of which a...

Re: Fight the good fight banners

I guess it is good then that the Borg-Banner has neither 'No' nor 'means' in it! ;)

Re: Fight the good fight banners

There is a Theory that they did remove the banners from people who did post in the vMC thread on the last x pages. Since my last post was on page 5 or so I may have slipped trough the net.

This is no general removal. I do still have the Borg-Banner in my vMCF-profile but I wasn't as active as other members.

Re: What is BWF?

What I find rather hard to get is: how could they expect this to work in the first place? I mean even if they would have had a fully working 100% feature copy of BTW how did they expect this to put FC out of business? Per design a copy will be not up to date and not as awesome as the original. FC ha...

Re: What is BWF?

Yes but it would still take longer than what a week or two? The only way I can find the speed plausible is if they are doing what I tried to describe with the homework analogy like you said too.
And I guess this is not the work of one but at least a small team.

I hope they will fix it so you can build a usable railway through nether portals .. does it work if one blocks any other spot but the railway?

Re: Dinnerbone in BTW MCF thread

Homeworld is a good example. I loved it so much that I took a huge part of it into my own Browser (RT)S. Dawn of War is still one of my favourite RTS games Supreme Commander (until including Forged alliance). While SC2 has its highlights it lags complexity. I used to play Brood wars a lot. Ground Co...

Re: Dinnerbone in BTW MCF thread

Same thing is valid for a lot of games.. Quest objects glow, lootable bodies are marked, Build-in Questfinder points you right to the spot, RTS is dumbed down to mass=win, FPS.. is there anything but CoD anymore?

They are already adding a new mineral to the Nether! Why not just implement this whole analog thing with that. Call bluestone and and leave my redstone system alone.

Defining the "Standart" BTW-Server Setup

I'm hosting a low population Server (vMC and BTW only with 'as is' configuration) for my friends and myself on a AMD 4200 dual core with 3Gigs RAM running Ubuntu. And it is facing massive performance issues (regular freezes, crashes when entering/leaving the nether, unloaded chunks, async-player pos...
