1.4.6 Update

Discussion in 'Empire News' started by Aikar, Dec 22, 2012.

  1. New update!
    Shops can no longer mixup buy/sell prices. It will disallow creating new shops that have Sell prices higher than buy prices, and any current shop with mixed up prices will not work.
    Shops should work as normal now and will allow selling to a full chest if there is a partial stack with room.
    Fixed ignore lists. - current list were sadly erased and got cleared.
    Vault will not charge you if it fails to open.
    Vault can be opened by new players.
    Debug has been added to vault if it fails to open - if your still having issues, let me know!
    A new secret has been added... stay tuned for details on it!

    IGNORE LISTS WERE BROKEN AND HAD TO BE RESET
    Please re add anyone to your ignore list who you do not wish to communicate with.
    Sorry for the inconvenience about this.
  2. Bug found and still active: Vaulting fireworks will cause them to be cleared/wiped and be turned to a normal firework.
  3. I've just noticed that among these updates, you've made the no permission message for commands look like the "this command doesn't exist" one. Very sneaky...

    Well, either that or you've changed a lot of commands.

  4. That was in the initial post. Vault wipes all extra data beyond enchantments, as we have to rewrite the entire vault to fix it.

    thats the next high priority item

    Doesn't make sense from a performance aspect for the code to run for staff commands on normal players ;)

  5. So, wait, does enchanting books give the books durability? Just a 1.4.6 question. I mean, if you hit a creeper with a bunch of paper in the real world, you would have quite a mess. A. You would have a smoking crater. B. Your book and it's pages would be tattered. C. Your Face: :mad:.
  6. Considering I have 20 fireworks which I could sell....
  7. Bow down to the all-mighty AIKAR THE ECONOMY DESTROYER!
  8. Do we need separate chest-shops for buying and selling?
    My chest-shops still seem to work (?)

    Please explain!

    Some enchanted item shops with code in the sign do not work (did not work today) - for example
    276-4sjciv (Diamond Sword, Looting 3 + Sharpness 4 + Unbreaking 3)
    276-564i6v (Diamond Sword, Looting 3 + Smite 4 + Unbreaking 3)
    276-5gk8cv (Diamond Sword, Looting 3 + BoA 5 + Unbreaking 3)

    There are several problems with anvil, see
    http://empireminecraft.com/threads/1-4-6-anvil-not-working-with-equipment-and-books.19279/

    PS: It might sound paradox, but making infinite fireworks does not affect economy in a negative way. The main problem in EMC economy is the constant and excessive increase in amount of rupees (inflation) and accompanying increase of prices and shortage of supplies (empty shops). So normal fireworks would only make shops have less stock and make the prices rise faster, it would only speed up the effects of inflation.

    IMO, making fireworks of infinite use and available to all was a good decision.

    Emitting a ton of free rupees is a problem. Prices will need to be adjusted to compensate for that.
    From a socialist, short-term point of view, this is a good development: more rupees for the people, less value for the rich :)
    From capitalist, long-term point of view, it's not so good: it is not sustainable and leads to depression and instability...
    :)
  9. Another bug fix round:

    Anvil issues fixed - If anyone was accustomed to having anvils work even when it said too expensive, sorry but that had to be removed. it was part of the problem of other issues we saw.
    Vault will no longer allow you to put an item in the vault if it would lose its data (books, fireworks, renamed items)
  10. No, that update note meant when a person mixes up prices, ie pays 40 r for a diamond but sells for 20, and people then spam buy/sell to drain all their money, will no longer work.

    I think you typed the codes wrong, for DS, Loot 3 sharp 4 unbr 3 I got 276-6b989n

    Its an encoded value, so multiple codes can represent same enchant list if different order.
  11. I've got the codes with /iteminfo and double checked them.
    I'll check once again tomorrow.
  12. Some enchanted items have their enchantment code(s) cut off when setting up a shop, some examples:


    Efficiency IV diamond spade -> Diamond Spade-a (/iteminfo gives 277-a4)
    Unbreaking III diamond spade -> Diamond Spade-a (/iteminfo gives 277-an)
    Fire protection III diamond chestplate -> Diamond Chest-s (/iteminfo gives 311-sh)
    Fire protection IV diamond chestplate -> Diamond Chest-s (/iteminfo gives 311-si)
    (On the 4th line of the sign, I've used the ID that /iteminfo shows for these items, but it translated the item to its full name and cutting off the enchantment code.)

    When the shop is set up initially, it can detect the enchanted item, but as time passes, the shop will be unable to detect the item, giving the "out of stock" message.
    Some similar enchanted items, such as efficiency IV diamond pick or fire protection III/IV diamond leggings do not have their enchantment code cut off.

    Also with the 4 enchantments, a diamond sword with Knockback II, BOA IV, Looting III, Fire Aspect II, /iteminfo shows 276--10er89e but shops do not recognise the item.
  13. i wonder if the math for figuring out if its too long is 1 off, so the single enchant items are still translating when they shouldnt be.

    as for 4 enchant, did it literally print 2 -- ?

  14. Yep, there were 2 "--".

  19. I saw dynmap posted an update about the nether... must be this issue.
    Yes the firework was planned before the update, but didnt want to hold the update up for it so had to work out other issues before getting back to it.
