1.3 Woes

I actually think we're already using 1.3.1. Mojang released 1.3.1 on August 1st rather than 1.3 because of some minor fixes for modders. (But of course I can't be sure if the server is on 1.3.1. Our clients are though) 1.3.2 will be fixes for bugs introduced in 1.3.1.

I dont know if they put in a new version of bukkit, but my pistons reappeared!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, guys it could be just 2 days, until 1.3.2!! Finally I'll be able to smoothly run on EMC by then soon!

*Sees disappearing glass piston doors* *Re-appears after a minute*

Sweet, it looks like bugs are fixed, or at least staved off, because chests make noise again, furnaces/brewing stands work in town, and my bookshelf piston door fixed itself after a few lever clicks. I'm not sure what the staff did, but thanks, IcC and friends!

This morning all my regular pistons and half of my sticky pistons have re-appeared and seem to be working. Also half my furnaces are working. There is really no rhyme or reason with these bugs.

Unfortunately though something that's only server related (haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else) is that items moved or put into chests at certain random times can disappear. At first I lost a hardly used eff 4 diamond pick that I placed back into a chest then came back a few minutes to a half an hour later and it was gone.

Then earlier today I moved a stack of tnt in a chest to another spot within the same chest and went and smelted some iron ore to get 30 iron ingots. I placed those within the same chest (for future use). Then like 5-10 minutes later server started to freeze up. (smp1 for those wondering) Then did it again a 2-3 minutes later. I went back to my storage room and found the items gone. (my res has no perms to anyone else, never has. It is also in an area no one can get to. So don't be bringing up people taking the items)

Then earlier me and another player were moving stuff to my res to a chest only he could access (access sign). He put a bunch of stuff into the chest and I put down some blocks then went to his res for a few minutes came back to my res and the blocks were gone and the double chest was completely empty. No way he could have emptied it again since we were both at his res and he was there with me the whole time before I went back to my res and saw it empty.

So, so far the server is ripping me off. Im just lucky I haven't lost stuff that is REALLY expensive, rare, hard to get. The stack of tnt was a nice kick in the bum from the server though. Around those same times, items like fence gates or trap doors that were either open or closed before I did stuff then after I lost those items they were back to what they were before.

This makes me believe the server is saving every few minutes/hours (idk the saving times the server is programed for) then after a few minutes reverts back to the previous save causing doors, items in chests that were changed after the save to revert back or in the case with some items disappear forever. So far it seems to be random at times. That with the pistons sometimes disappearing and then a day or two later reappearing seem to be local to the server cause I can't find any mention of it anywhere else online.

And I would add that most of it is specific to town. Absolutely no piston problems in the wild and nothing lost (but there is sometimes a lag) outside of town.

Yes I have noticed that as well. That it seems to be town related only.

I am having random items vanish inventory and chests. Also sugar cane disappears in random sections after planting - de-spawns or something happens a lot. Some work that i complete is re-set backwards to a point where it looks like i did nothing.

Server very slow plants not growing pressure plates not resetting for doors to close or very slow

1.3 has screwed me over. I had 4 stacks of Villager Eggs and put them in my shop, and I logged off, and they disappeared when I logged back on today. The sign didn't have anything on it, and there was nothing on the sign. :/ now I only have 2

I set up a chest so ppl could sell me water lily's went off to look for shops that might sell them, after a while i gave up went home and the chest and sign was gone. I didn't log off or go to any other server.

I keep planting and losing stuff, stuff i plant if it don't disappear it don't grow.

some pistons have repeared, but still very buggy. I'm missing 1.2 pretty bad right now.

1.3.2 is out and you can download it and you will be able to play on Empire Servers but, does anyone have word on when the actual server geting the 1.3.2 update. There is one small change. Its that now large oak trees branches now generate sideways instead of up and down.

EDIT: Do not update since everything you do when you are on goes away when you leave. I just bought a bunch of objects and places some of the objects down and then left the server. Then when I came back on it was all gone. I payed all the money for the objects and did not get it back after I logged out. So I guess just bought nothing. Here is how Empire needs to fix this update the servers to 1.3.2 since you guys are still on 1.3.

Ya im using my cobble gen in my res and it stops and there is like invisible bedrock but the red stone is still works fine.

whoooa, glad I came onto the site before I updated. Can't wait for 1.3.2

I updated and everything is working fine, i didnt lose anything.

I think that has to do with the server in general not the update. Since other people are reporting that they are fine after they updated. I just found out a few minutes ago that I lost a stack of something else (rare) I put away a week ago cause the chest reverted back to what it was before. So yeah its really ticking me off. This is a server problem not a 1.3.1/1.3.2 problem. Since its not mentioned anywhere else on minecraft boards that I can find.

I've gotten to level 30 several times since the update but have only been able to try enchanting two items because my experience keeps disappearing. I suspect there is probably a server plug-in that maintains my experience across all the servers and that it'll eventually be fixed.

In the meantime, I'd like to sneak a few enchanted items in somehow. Has anyone determined what makes it disappear? Is it when I switch servers or something else?

I am pretty sure thats a display bug. If you kill an animal or smelt some items or something that gives you even 1 xp you will see it again. usually happens when you switch servers I think. Could be other things to.
