Mystcraft 0.10.12.01 HotFix

Whoops.
Looks like I changed the wrong string, producing errors with existing “Flat” symbols. Should be fixed in this build. You might need to perform a bit of cleanup to repair altered saves. Sorry.

To recap: there is only one download (found at the bottom of this post); This file is the universal install for client and server; it no longer goes in the jar.
Mystcraft goes in the mods folder.

Note that there are a couple changes between the video and the current mod, particularly that colors and things are easier to write. If you follow the tutorial, you’ll do great.

Mystcraft 0.10.12

This update adds the writing desk model from the contest, as well as a number of fixes and other changes. Check the changelog for a full list. 🙂
This version is still for 1.6.4. Forge isn’t ready for 1.7, yet, and so we wait.

Mystcraft 0.10.11

So the Forge PR I’d made went through pretty quickly, but I spent some time after that trying to improve the system overall. It should do lots better in terms of memory churn, though the footprint is still a bit large.
There were also some general features and things added. I added a Gas block type to the grammar, so those will be handled correctly. Some existing ages with lakes or oceans of gas “fluids” may exhibit strange behavior, though. Mostly they are likely to fall back to their respective default blocks and the modifier symbols they had are likely to become instability, but you probably didn’t use those ages for much anyway. 😉
I also forced Minecraft to correctly unload Ages. This is a fix for ages only, so it won’t affect other dims, but it makes me happier.
Check the full changelog linked below for everything and let me know in the Mystcraft Forums what you think an if you find any new issues. 🙂

Mystcraft 0.10.9.00

Whoops. Looks like I made a mistake in my 1.6.4 update.

A critical bug was found in 0.10.8 where I incorrectly updated some MCP function names. This caused block modifier symbols to have the wrong identifiers. Symbols found on the update are wrong, and old worlds will have issues. This update addresses the latter, invalidating any block modifier symbols found since the update (which I expect to be relatively few…).
Since I was in the middle of a (pretty cool) new system, that’s included in this build… It should work, but if you notice anything odd with weather or biomes in ages, be sure to bring it up on the Mystcraft Forums.

Mystcraft 0.10.8.00 for 1.6.4 + API

Finally, the API we’ve all be waiting for!
Well, I’ve not been waiting for it, since I made it, and you may not have been waiting for it if you don’t plan on making an add-on… but I’m sure many people have been waiting for it simply to see what other people are going to make! 😛
The API is still in alpha; only minor changes with this release. Be sure to give me feedback on the Mystcraft Forums!

This release is primarily to handle the changes in structure gen in Minecraft 1.6.4. Otherwise, this update saw some bug fixes and general balance tweaks. Be sure to check out the changelog.

Keep in mind that you need link panels to make books! This is for both descriptive and linking books.

The API advents with this release, in an alpha stage. It’s still in its juvinile form, not yet fully developed, but it should serve. Be sure to give me feedback on the Mystcraft Forums!

What’s the Hold Up?

I thank everyone for their patience in waiting for a version of Mystcraft for Minecraft 1.6.4. I’m happy to announce I’ll be doing that very soon now.

First I will release a build that I’ve been sitting on for over a month now (for 1.6.2). Then I will update it to 1.6.4 and release that.

Why have I not released this build for so long, you ask? Many reasons. Once of the leading points is time. For the past couple months I’ve been working on my Master’s Thesis, along with my normal studies and activities. This has left me with little free time to spare for Mystcraft development.
“How long does it take to push a build if you have all the code written?” Well, for some people it can take a long time. In my case, I automate stuff and know how to run a project, so it actually is more a matter of pushing a button. That’s not what’s been holding that release back.

The actual reason that time has been a factor is that about two months ago I decided to transition from the Mantis bug tracker I’ve been using. Talking with the testing team, it was suggested that the next release wait until after that transition. I started that, but part of it depended on the host of my server, who has been very busy with work and RL things as well, and I’ve been so busy lately I’ve not had the time to try to work around it. Since there was nothing in the current build to require a more immediate release, I didn’t worry about changing this decision.
At this point my server host is back and we’re finishing the process for moving over to Trac. Once that is done I’ll post the newest build and start the transition to 1.6.4. In theory that shouldn’t take more than a couple hours, maximum. Once it’s updated I’ll push that, too.

Included in these releases will be the first public releases of the Mystcraft API. It’s still a bit rough around the edges, and anything without javadoc is subject to change, but it’ll be out there for people to work with. I very much look forward to seeing what everyone can do with the framework and system I’ve provided. 🙂 I expect there will be a lot of feedback on things I’ve not thought of, which is why I’m releasing it, and why it’s still an alpha.

I look forward to rewarding everyone’s patience soon. Sorry for the long wait.
Cheers!

PS: I note from the suggested permalink that this is not my first post titled “What’s the Hold Up?” I’m apparently repeating myself… And apparently often waiting on events beyond my control to occur. 😛
