Thanks for the tip. Heads have always been a problem on the Empire. I dumped it in a chest and eventually it turned into a spider. And back again. And then back into a spider. And that's when I decided to donate it to a very lucky random player
(Very late post, I am aware) By the way, now that I have my new processor, the server seems to be running just fine, the performance issues I had were solely because of my previous processor being too weak.
It seems "Respawn closest location" doesn't work correctly in the Wild. I just died there (two times, lol) and ended up near a bed in the wastelands. I'd somewhat expected to be dumped near the outpost.
Doesn't your bed override that setting? If you have a valid bed, that is always assumed to be where you should spawn.
That's not what the help / wiki says: it suggests that beds are overridden when this option is turned on, as long as the outpost is closer to your deathpoint than your set bed. It's also the behavior which I noticed when I died in the waste close to an outpost (but I'd have to test to make sure, that's been a while).
Oh no, it definitely did not always prefer the bed. Otherwise this travel trick would have failed... Place bed 20k out. Ride in 10k, turn setting ON, die, respawn at town. Turn setting OFF. Die, respawn at bed.
Well, then it never worked correctly Edit: correction. I believe we re-purposed a player setting to what is supposed to do now.
When I die and my head drops is my skins head but when I log out or switch smps my head glitchs out and goes back to my old skin that i dont even use anymore then I all of a sudden its goes to my skin but goes back to my old skin. Why does this happen?
The new head will be your new skin, but you likely have an old head with your old skin on your Residence. This causes the game to bug out on the client and get confused on which one to show. I might have an idea to fix that though
As bizarre as this may sound it's most likely your connection which isn't fine but there's little you or the Empire can do about it. Here's the problem: when you connect to the Empire it's not a one on one connection. The signal (data) is actually passing through dozens of other systems before it reaches the Empire. Mostly routers (=devices which are specifically used to send the right data packages to the right destination). Sometimes something 'bad' can happen with those systems. For example: when they have to process too much data it is possible that some start to run a bit slower, which can cause small delays. But as you might realize: many small things can make up for one bigger thing. My guess is as good as yours, but I think something like this is probably happening: somewhere between your PC and the Empire things tend to slow down a bit. However, this shouldn't happen all the time. I just missed you online otherwise I'd have asked about it.
Interested incidents. On multiple occasions yesterday and today I have gotten off my horse and it has disappeared. When I log off and back on it's back. Spooky, right.
What Minecraft version are you using? Although EMC allows you to connect with 1.10 and up the advised version is still 1.9.4 or 1.10 (so no newer releases like 1.10.2) because of the risk for weird glitches.
