It won't be. I already asked Jason something like that. If if was going to be, I would stop working on the mod.

Update:

I have finished adding forged materials to the game. At this stage still just copper and bronze, but even just those materials have taken almost 800 new objects and thousands of transitions. Just think how much work it will be to add iron!

In the meantime, the new forged tools require a new item: the anvil! Get a load of this bad boy:

Next step will be bringing the mod up to date with Jason's latest content changes. That won't be a trivial thing. Then after that, adding iron.

I like the idea of your "body" staying alive on disconnect. As a bonus it would prevent death by loss of connection too.

I'm also fine with detaining individuals as long as it takes multiple people to do it.

Edit: the one body thing should be global, otherwise trolls will just disconnect and join a different server to grief there.

powa gets it. This is what I was saying weeks ago until I got tired of wasting my (virtual) breath.

My suggestion was to have a system for detaining an individual that is only effective when used by more than one person. How many times have you seen more than one griefer at a time?

If there was a readily available action, like hitting someone with a long straight shaft that did nothing by itself but knocked them out when TWO people did it, that would be enough to stop every lone troll. Unless they straight up kill you first, but if they do, fair game to them.

Hey Babsy, I'm decommissioning gusminecraft.cloudapp.net to be replaced by unclegus.cloudapp.net

All other instructions remain the same.

Yeah, it's a new server, so I'm going to shut that one down.

My daughter was just now trying to join, but she upgraded the client to the latest version first, and it crashed on connect to my server. So I tried rolling it back to the official installer version which still crashed. Most people are on Windows, so this will be a big problem. I will try to debug it in a few hours' time.

The server is unclegus.cloudapp.net but that's all taken care of for you in the installer. You need to run the installer because it swaps out all the necessary asset folders. If you try to join the server without running the script, you'll get a version mismatch.

Good question! The underlying mechanic change of this mod is that things have a chance to break. The tools of different metals serve the same purpose, but bronze is better than copper, then iron is better again, then steel is top quality.

At this stage, only copper and bronze are implemented, but my next change will introduce iron working. Having just completed this massive overhaul in one "big bang", I'm hoping from here on I can implement things much more incrementally.

I also think decay would be more interesting than a total wipe, but considering that a total wipe was necessary, the apocalypse was a much more interesting way to do it than just "the servers are down for maintenance".

Okay, I have created a .zip file with the necessary changes to run this mod and I have tested that it works by using it on a different computer with the standard client installed on it.

I've tried to make it as simple as possible to install and uninstall, so I have included script and batch files to do these actions for you.

1. Download the pack here
2. Extract it into your OHOL game folder.
3. Run installUncleGusMod.sh on linux/mac or installUncleGusMod.bat on Windows.
4. Run the game and login.

When you want to swap back to whatever server you were joining before, run uninstallUncleGusMod.sh or uninstallUncleGusMod.bat and it will reverse the process.

A version mismatch will tell you that there's a new version of the pack to download. I'll just replace the zip file, so it should always have the same link. Make sure to uninstall the mod before extracting the new version, so that it overwrites the mod files.

I was watching Steve Dutzy play on launch day, and TWICE he had his mother say "HI STEVE" to him. It freaked him out.

I think it would make sense to be able to name yourself if you reach a certain age without being named.
