Re: An Ethical Question... (Minecraft General) Posted on 26 Apr : 21:07

Long story short, If we provide the files, then there are two problems. 1) Due to the license, nobody but notch & his company can redistribute minecraft. 2) [completely ignoring #1], we became a supplier for the software, and responsible for what it does to other's machines. Especially important, since somehow (most likely through a client mod), someone gathered a bunch of minecraft usernames/passwords). also, remember the story of mcadmin, where the programmer had the power to op himself on any server he connected to (could just as easly did a "delete home directory" command.

Re: Why? (Minecraft General) Posted on 11 Mar : 07:56

most games, you are a visitor in the world. I have never played WOW, but from my understanding, you login, kill a few things, or do a quest, and leave. Once you are gone, you have had no impact on the world. minecraft, is a grinding based game. You build, and you sculpt. You make your mark upon the world, for all to see when you log off. wonder what WOW would be like, if you could go into the wilderness, and build a house...

eep, I was wrong. Turns out I did not have permission to do opengl with my user (video group in /etc/groups). Ignore me.

Thread: minecraft for linux - only works w/ oracle/sun's java (Minecraft General) Posted on 28 Feb : 21:52

I heard a couple people playing with this, and I have confirmed their findings. Minecraft does not run w/ IcedTea/OpenJDK. If you wish to play under linux, you will need sun/oracle's jdk. This is the error you receive when you try to run it --- BEGIN ERROR REPORT a1dce528 -------- Generated 28/02/11 1:48 PM Minecraft: Minecraft Beta 1.3_01 OS: Linux (amd64) version 2.6.38-rc6 Java: 1.6.0_20, Sun Microsystems Inc.

Re: issues (Server Discussion) Posted on 26 Feb : 22:26

well, if they had a roundrobin system, of something like 5x authentification servers on a rrdns... after you submit name/passwd, they send you an authentification id, or something, as well as the ID of the login server, pass that onto the server, and it know's who you logged in with. of course, still have to keep the login credentials the same between all servers... so a few technical things to work out
