1.8 Final Is up and running

[NeilPearson]

Just threw up 1.9pre3 For some testing. Just to see how it goes if anyone is keen.


Client is availible here:

Server, for whatever reason... here

Hope you backed up the map before hand, I'm expecting there to be errors where new chunks are generated but you never know when the server may corrupt the map just because mojang missed some bug.

[NeilPearson]

Forgot about that. Grabbing a backup now.

[Shonky]

Just as well Raz grabbed a copy of the map last night then isn't it, as soon as I try to generate new terrain the server crashes, rolling back to 1.8.1, hopefully I don't have to ask Raz to upload the map as well.

[NeilPearson]

Maps there, under 18finalbackup.

[NeilPearson]

How do you know it was 1.9pre3 that Caused your crash?

I just loaded up a 1.7 map i have in single player and ran for about 3kms and found ravines and what not and never had a crash.

[Shonky]

I replicated it 3 times, its not the client crashing, its the server. I jumped on the server, went out past your new shack to the west I think it is to where terrain was being generated, shortly after I'd get a java socket exception and the server would crash. After confirming it was crashing (crash dump files visible via FTP) I put back 1.8.1 and reverted my client and all was back to being good.

[NeilPearson]

Damn. might mean we will need a new map when we go 1.9 then.

[Shonky]

Looking to be the case, will try it again with 1.9 official, maybe they'll fix the problems when using an existing map.

[Shonky]

Alright, I've been chatting to Raz and we've come to the conclusion that avoiding the update is a waste of time since there is no urge to build anything substantial on the current map knowing it will be nuked in the near future.

Anybody object to trying a new map on 1.9 pre 3?

no objections here

[Santaria]

Make it so!

[ysu]

go for it

[Shonky]

Oh what fun, 1.9 pre 3 flat out refuses to run on the server when generating a map from scratch at the moment, Raz and I are trying to nut out why.

So I shouldn't keep building on the server?

[Bauer]

We give up, no matter what we do the server will not start , and in our research we've learned of some show stopping bugs such as the server will almost always not save chunks so for now we will wait. Cmon notch, get your shit together.

I am glad we all paid to be beta testers.

Do we get our names in the credits when it is done?

We are back to 1.8.1 again, so keep building if you like norbs, and we will try to keep this map if at all possible when 1.9 official lands.

Good point Neil. Forgot it was still beta. So id LFS isn't it?

[Rots]

Yep. The difference though is Minecraft doesn't take 5 years to get new content!

LFS wasn't slow early on either...erm... or more accurately; it was actually moving.
I mean, who knows how the development of minecraft will go in a year or two...

[Shonky]

And then there was pre 4 which isn't out just yet, tomorrow I imagine. If notch has fixed the map saving and the ender generation problems which overwrite the main world we'll probably give it another crack.
