Ah, ok. I'll subscribe here and/or wait for info from you on the dev version.

I think you can just push specific commits from your local repository to the remote/upstream on github but you'd have to commit after working on each part in your case I guess, then figure out which commits are related and push those only. Most of my knowledge is from books/websites and not actual use thus far though, so maybe someone else here can clarify that for us :)

Put something in there which isn't a block like a diamond sword, or a block that doesn't exist in survival like sponge.

To do worldguard flag checking I would have to take a worldguard dependency which I don't want to do. I might take a look at worldguard and look if I can find the issues in their code... If I find them and can fix I might commit the fix into their code. However I don't plan to add code into my plugin to fix issues from another plugin. That's like if you plant a plant and instead of watering it you glue artificial leaves onto the plant so noone notices that it's not growing. (bad metaphor :D)

@Hangar

Thanks for the link, definetely helpful. I will learn how to use git when I have time. Atm I'm focusing on the next update. I will play around with git with some random code, to get familiar with it and only if I really know how it works I will use git on my "real" code.

Yes I can only commit selected files, but what if I have a file with over 1000 lines of code and I'm working on multiple things in the same file. That won't work. Branching is the only way to do this, from what I have understood about git.

I'm still not quite sure how to distribute testVersions of my plugin to only a few selected people. I would like to have a site where I can put the changelog and the latest file so one can easily download. If you haven't set up a server with ehm, I would strongly advise you to wait till 3.1. There is a lot more customization and a few things that are too "griefy" have been nerfed.

I have recently switched to IntelliJ, because local testserver + local minecraftclient + 2 open tabs in firefox on a 1.8Ghz DualCore + 2Gb Ram makes Eclipse a serious pain to use... IntelliJ is a blessing to have. While everything else lags quite a hard, IntelliJ is still quite usable... I'm constantly at 100% Cpu and 100% Ram Usage :D :D, temps averaging at 60-80°C ....

@Diemex

I'm 99% sure you can commit just the files you want, but I'm still learning git myself so I can't tell you how yet (teehee). This was helpful with getting egit going:

I think branches describe exactly how you would work on different things at the same time, but you would have to get comfortable with merging too.

Anyway... this plugin looks really amazing after reading the full description above and I'd be willing to help test some stuff. I have a small core of guys that enjoy challenges and I think this would be right up their alley. I already have them trained to report anything out of the ordinary to me and I always make bug reports (or FYI's) to dev authors. Feel free to PM me if/when you get something together :)

Is the current version working well? Are there lots of quirks/issues? I'm not sure if I should foist that on my guys or wait for something new...

@Diemex

Hmmm Github isn't supposed to be flawless ;) It's okay to upload half working code because nobody but people that have knowledge of java would be looking at it and maybe even do a pull request or two. Git inside eclipse works pretty nicely imo but again it's your choice ;) Just don't be afraid that code you upload on github will reach end users as they wont. :P

@all

I'm looking for testers for the next release. There are a few requirements if you want to be able to test. First you will have to test out the new features, play around with the configs and activate most of the features. If you have a production server and only use a fraction of the features you are no help to me. You agree that you won't blame me if something goes wrong with your server, after all it's you that installed a dev version of my plugin. You should provide feedback to me, but accept if I disagree with your point of view.

@CreepCraft

The reason why I'm not updating my github atm is that I have multiple areas in the code where I'm working on simultaneously. When I'm not progressing in one area I do something else so that I don't waste time trying to "forcefully" fix something. Sometimes it's better to take a break and you might find the error with a fresh set of eyes when you return to that part of the code. As a result of that I have a lot of things that are indeed fixed already and a lot of things that are partially fixed or even temporarily disabled in the code. I don't feel like I have anything playable atm, it's definetely an improvement but I don't feel comfortable releasing it to anyone. I don't even have it on my own server yet. I'm going to make sure that my updates are well tested and balanced before I upload them. As an admin I find it very annoying when a dev releases an update and I have to disable a new feature completely because something is wrong with it or I even consider it to be broken. I'm going to take my time with the updates and try to keep quality a priority.

The following can be ignored if you don't know what git is... ;)

I'm considering uploading code, when I'm using that version on my own server. Additional problem is that I don't really know how to use git yet. I have to learn how to create branches and have to find out if there is a way to commit parts of files. Like if I have a feature finished but still 3 things that are broken, I would like to just be able to commit the changes for the one finished feature. I could use branches for every single feature I'm working on but that's too complicated to debug and test for me.

@Diemex

Hey, first graz to taking over the project ;)

A while ago you posted a github link of your work, any chance that you actively update that one when you work on stuff? ;) Some things you are working on sound like stuff that's desperately needed. As a fellow developer I wouldn't mind downloading some of that code and compiling it myself and using a dev build on my server just to get some of the things you have already finished :) If not, that's fine too :) I'm just waiting to disable some stuff that I currently cant :(

@Heddiw

Do you know from what plugin these errors are coming from? I can't see how Ehm could have caused those errors.

@Grinjr

Would you like to disable the inventory weighing you down completely or just for yourself and would you like to keep the armor weighing you down?

@Raemis

This has already been suggested before. I personally don't like biome specific disadvantages regarding the player. There are other plugins that do this already and if I add it it won't be in the near future.

Hey, ideas: Winter biomes slow you for not wearing armor to protect yourself and desert biomes cause hunger due to dehydration if you stay out in the sun too long.

@doorknock23

I dought it will. If it becomes extreme and writes multiple hundreds of lines of errors to the logfile per second you might notice lag. But Mo Creatures doesn't spawn as many animals so you should be fine. I'll make sure to fix it in the next update, I guess it'll be a pretty simple fix.
