Exactly so. Once the 256 ids are used up, the next block is given the id 0, which is air. Then air starts acting like that block. Most blocks are only assigned an id when they are first used, but unfortunately the block inventory menu causes them all to be assigned.

Sounds like the suggestion just boils down to us providing some templates for prefabs of different types, which is fair enough. At the moment you can just copy prefab or definition of a similar thing from the engine or existing mods though.

It isn't because air is in the block picker. It is because the block ids overflow and the air block gets overwritten. What we need to do is increase the number of ids and add overflow protection. :)

I'm not sure what you are suggesting which we don't already have? Everything you describe is already implemented, although some of the details are a little different. You can certainly add either a zip file or a folder, with a mod.txt and whatever assets, into the mods directory and that acts as...

Typically this is used to create a launcher that can obtain Java: http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/

No offence, but I think you're overengineering that change. :P

I've already integrated the existing chunk work with your new representations and serialization (I grabbed it as soon as I could :) ).

It is just an identifier for the event, typically something like "engine:forwardmovementaxis". It... really isn't used (having specific classes negates the need for it), except perhaps if you ever want to log an event. I think it was intended more for the javascript modding.

I think I've resolve to handle multiplayer as a fork, and manually merge select changes from singleplayer later, yeah. It isn't great, but I can't really think of a way around it.

Hmm, the problem is probably that the effects is loaded before a world is loaded (and thus before modules + overrides are available), due to being used by a shader using the old shader system. And whichever version is loaded first sticks because asset unloading isn't implemented yet.

Well, this is very interesting. I would suggest either in the RegisterInputSystem load process, or in TerasologyEngine (initControls() or similar). The former is more about configuring input for the current world (taking into account module binds), the latter doing initialisation of the input...

It should work for all assets. Including prefabs too, probably.

If your interest is in having individual blocks with different sizes, then I would suggest looking at how we have done doors - they are actually composed of two blocks but act as a single unit, so you place and remove them together. There are two underlying assumptions to our world...

I guess I really meant to say stacking should just work with the tessellator, the size changes are another story. Sorry if that caused confusion. :/

I like the clean, sharp look of it. It may not fit everyone's gametypes admittedly.

At the moment we have three interactions - attack, use and frob (use object in world, such as a chest). If the first two were combined and context sensitive, then the last might be a right-click? This can cover a number of use cases, such as using an item on another player, popping up a menu...

We used single-player connecting to a local server in Footbrawl Quest, it is messy and I wouldn't want to do that in general. It is particularly unfriendly when multiple copies are running due to port conflicts, and you would essentially use double the memory with the server and client having...

The entity system is not thread safe, I would advice against putting anything that manipulates entities in a background thread at this stage. This may be fixed at some point when the entity system is changed to defensively copy components on request, and to keep a version number for each to...

Character movement is now using a server-authoritative, client-predictive system as above. When a player uses an item or attacks, characters are rewound to their positions at the time of the user's action (theoretically to allow interaction, although attacking does nothing yet). Some tweaking is...

It looks like the block id overflow issue.
