  2. ? It's a forum, not a text message. How did you miss it? The floor is yours...

  3. Probably because it was a page or two back and other stuff has been posted since then I guess?

  4. I would have liked to be involved in it while it happened.

  5. The way that the live map is able to display the player icons is by downloading the player data that btribble posted a snippet of (called a "JSON" message). The data contains the name, coords, world, health, and armor of each player. It also contains the current weather of the world which is neat.

    While you're watching the live map, your browser is downloading this about once a second in order to update each player's location. You could write a program to download this data and put it into a database so you could ask it questions like: "Give me a list of all (non-hidden) players that were within 20 blocks of coordinates x,y,z between Oct 1 and Oct 3". I've written a script to do queries like this, but its very slow at the moment.

  6. Ah yes, JSON. Though I recognized that. I forgot how similar Python and JavaScript data structures are.

  7. Been working hard on a project in LLO. If you 'lock' enderchests do they become ungriefable?

  8. In all honesty, I kinda just... wondered in gave Eclippy some cobble, than I said; "Screw it." and started building something. :oops:
  9. Hey, does anyone want 189 stacks of seeds?

  10. Yes, they do. EnderChests are chests, same code, just a different texture, can only be placed as a 'single' chest, with particles and inter-connected inventories.

  11. But, do enderchests work between Wilderness and Town?

  12. Last time I checked, yes. They are also (if I remember correctly) cross-server.

  14. You'll need Aikar's or Justin's confirmation on that, I don't use Enderchests :p

    Also, in 40 pages (practically a few days! :D) we'll have 400 pages.

  15. If it's true I'll buy a ton of Enderchests to transport my seeds to Town :D

  16. It only works on the smp it's on and won't work if your in wild on smp7 and go to town on smp5. The items won't be in there due it being a different server :)
  17. Cypher_Rahl did a neat trick the other day. He put his "mad l00tz" in an enderchest, then killed himself to get back to his spawn point. Kind of a waste of enderchests if you wanted to do this a lot, but still a neat hack.

  18. :p Saved me having to navigate the nether the hard way lol

  19. Hack? He just put his stuff in an Enderchest, killed himself, and got it back in town. It's not a hack, it's a way to save your items and die without the aid of mods/hacks.

  20. Coolies and Welcome :)

    Yeah I mean if the chest is placed and his stuff is in it I don't see it as a hack.

    I would like to thank whoever it was that took/broke the one in Dwight's park. I had too much junk when I went to the Social Gathering and dumped it in an Enderchest close by because I could just grab it from the one in the park, get there and the chest is gone. THANKS /sarcasm :p
