Ok, As I'm sure your aware, Recently, There have been MANY problems relating to EMC, (Mobs not working, People getting blocked from the server because of SpamHaus), This I'm pretty sure is due to us recently being changed from Craftbukkit to Craftbukkit++ if you don't know what ++ Does, it pretty much just makes the server more optimised IE, Tree's will only decay if your in the same chunk as them, Mobs go from spawning up to 8 chunks away to 4, 'Unsafe IP'S are blocked', AKA a 14 year old who sent more then 3 emails one day. It's frankly really annoying and it makes EMC, Alot less fun, I'm sure most will agree with me, the old Craftbukkit ran fine, If anything, This new "Optimized" Bukkit causes more lag.
No, it did not... I dont think CB++ has anything to do with the issues you state (i'm not sure where the Spamhaus blocklist comes in, but im pretty sure its not unique to CB++) The CB++ greatly improved performance, and greatly sped up the growth of crops back to a more sane length of time. CB++ has been in place for like 2 months now, but these issues were having now are very recent. They are likely due to the database issues Justin was working on today (If code that uses DB is failing, it could still impact totally unrelated code down the execution chain) CB++ has brought nothing but positive to EMC and I do not see it ever being reverted back. Lots of servers are moving to it now.
Correction, looks like Spamhaus is from CB++, I apologize. Still, thats like %0.000000000000001% chance it will affect you. If your on the blacklist, your PC is likely infected, meaning your MC account is likely to be stolen, and you need to fix it. Removing your ability to play is one way to force you to solve the problem. We already do this for stolen accounts. If your account is hacked, we will ban you until you rectify the problem.
I dont think CB++ has anything to do with the issues you state (i'm not sure where the Spamhaus blocklist comes in, but im pretty sure its not unique to CB++) A.Craftbukkit++ is as far as I'm aware, The only one that uses Spamhaus, The CB++ greatly improved performance, and greatly sped up the growth of crops back to a more sane length of time. A. But at great cost to everyone else who doesn't grow wheat 24/7 + This only happens due to them changing to growth rate of crops in the settings, Which makes it non vanilla IMO CB++ has been in place for like 2 months now, but these issues were having now are very recent. They are likely due to the database issues Justin was working on today (If code that uses DB is failing, it could still impact totally unrelated code down the execution chain) A. No, The mob issue is NOTHING to do with the issues related to the Database. It's related to failed code, I've tested it on my own server, I got almost exactly the same symptons that others are getting on EMC, IE, Blaze spawners not working, Mobs not moving. CB++ has brought nothing but positive to EMC and I do not see it ever being reverted back. A. Ok, Well I would like 4 skeleton spawners moved to the location of my Blaze spawners please, As blaze's no longer work.
so 1 week vs 2 months is solid proof its all CB++'s fault? Show me proof that CB++ is causing these issues. How do you replicate it on your own server?
I believe, Craftbukkits last update was 1 week ago, I use World Downloader to test it. In CB++ and just CB
Erm, trees never grow when the chunk isn't loaded... If the whole map was all loaded at the same time, no one would be able to play the game... As for the spamhaus, that's probably the problem of other peoples PC's, not CB++.
Ok I will apologize again... It looks like others are reporting this same issue. This is very peculiar.. I would of never suspected CB++ to be at fault.
SAME CHUNK, Not all the chunks.. Ok, I've just looked through all of CraftBukkit++ update logs, I think this may have something to do with it https://github.com/Afforess/CraftBukkitPlusPlus/commit/6fe9432ddcd0a4f1b35336cf18aa0fdd8ca1d711 Path finding changes.
Problems been occuring longer than 4 days and we def did not update in the past 4 days or so, since justins been moving.
Ok, Firstly, I'd like to say I'm sorry for sounding like I'm shouting >.< It's just really ticked me off just not being able to play , Secondly, I'm heading back to my Blazey for some more extensive testing.
