Introduction and New Server for Forums!

Guest Mr. Flamegoat

Howdy, all!

 

Quick intro: my name is MrFlamegoat aka Matt. Some of you know me, many of you won't and that's okay. I'm stepping in to help out with the forums a bit more.

 

Firstly, we've moved the forums to a new server and there were a few hiccups along the way. Everything seems to be in order now though, and hopefully everything is moving quickly for everyone.

 

Secondly, if you notice anything out of place, broken, or that just seems wonky PLEASE POST HERE. I'd love to know and I'll be working over the next couple of weeks to update, polish, clean, and optimize.

 

I think that's it. Hopefully this move didn't affect anyone too negatively.

 

Look forward to the feedback, thanks everyone!

 

Update: Email Issues Resolved!

We're now utilizing a 3rd party MTA (sparkpost) to handle all outbound emails from the forums. This should be much more reliable than default PHP methods, as well as being faster and validated. Emails should make it to your inboxes more often while avoiding the doom and gloom of the Spam folder.

 

Emails will now appear as forums@minecraftforge[dot]net via a sparkpost hostname.  Apologies to anyone that had the previous address filtered!

 

Update: Code Highlighter

Added a code highlighter that I can modify and change. It should be forward compatible (I'm removing things that are not, as well as anything that changes core files to an unpatchable state).

 

Let me know what you guys think about it.

 

Update: Forums upgraded and theme has been updated a bit.

I've patched the forums to the latest available (2.0.11) and made some rather large changes to the current theme to bring it a little closer to the modern age. It's still a long way from where I'd like it, but hopefully everything feels a bit more professional.

 

I've removed a few things (team page, various little bits) until I can update them to all fit coherently together. If you guys have any thoughts or opinions on the style and direction, please let me know!

 

If you just don't really care, that's fine too! :D

 

Update: Code Highlighting mostly fixed!

Automatic detection of language is not terribly easy - sometimes your code snippet may default to a language other than Java. If that happens, you can specify from changing the code tag from "code" to "code=java" or other supported language.

 

I've added gradle/groovy as supported languages and can add others as required.

It should get quite a bit faster, too! Well, technically speaking. Might not notice it - but I'm doing my best.

 

We should be updating to the latest SMF in the next day or two. That should help quite a bit with some of the few hiccups left that I haven't been able to work out.

 

Feel free to yell in my general direction if anything is out of place, missing, or broken :D

Very likely, but not directly :D

 

I've fixed quite a few errors that may have been preventing other JS events from firing. :D

I was actually afraid people would get mad. It's not perfect, but it's the best I can offer at the moment. :D

 

I'm having to move modules around and get it prepared for the upgrade :D It's forward compatible, so it's on the list!

There's a slight bug with the syntax highlighter:

 

// Tools (After Enum it's; Harvest Level, Durability/Uses

 

The highlighter thinks everything after the ' is in a string, but it's not because the line is commented.

 

Yea I've got some work to do on the highlighter. Some of the themes don't have appropriate language syntax. Will update soon!

If you post a log here in the forums the editor begins to lag after you pasted it in.

I don't know how long the log needs to be to let the editor lag, but I had the problems with a 500 lines log in a spoiler.

 

Besides that, nice forum update. :)

Finally something better then before with this forum. For me the old one had really long loading times compared to other websites...

Keep up the good work. ;)

The Wiki button at files.minecraftforge.net is leading to 404 page (obviously because it is keeping the files. at the begining), I would suggest to fix it.

 

Hrm, I don't have access to files currently - but I will definitely pass that along!

I will look into this ASAP. Not sure how much JS is running to process the text box at the moment, but it's probably due to that. I'll see if there's anything I can fix or improve!

Found a bug (not sure if it was there before or not):

 

When typing a post, if you try to expand the editor box by dragging the double-lined bar at the bottom, it won't work. The double-diagonal line in the corner does work, however. Not really that big of an issue, but I thought I'd let you know anyway.

Released another major update to the theme. Tried to figure this one out but it appears it's been around a while.

 

No fix available at the moment without digging into the SMF editor and well, it's not good lol. :D

 

Might see if I can just hide it, that way at least it's not a visible broken feature.

The "new" markers on the individual forum pages are broken. It seems like if there is at least one "new" thread, all of them have the marker.

I think it is. I just read a few threads in Modder Support, and when one of them got a new reply, every thread showed the "new" label. When I read the new reply, went back to Modder Support and refreshed the page, the "new" markers dissappeared.

 

EDIT: If you click the "new" button on a post without a new reply, it goes to another thread which does have a new reply.

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

As they say: fix a bug, now you have 99 more :v

The only thing that I found (which may be on my side only, cause I have shit pc and internet), is that when you click the + to expand at Forum History (at the Statistics Center), the Loading that pops up on the top, sometimes, flicks a lot, and may cause problems to people who suffer from epilepsy.

Creating Potatium Craft, please wait.

For a better (and yet poor explanation of my WIP mod, go to: Potatium Craft Overview )

This is annoying the fuck out of me.

As soon as I noticed it my immediate thought was, "What'd we do downgrade our forum software?"

But Larsgerrits is correct, the new button doesn't even apply to the thread it's next to:

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Got that fixed up. This forum software was written back in 2006, so the bulk of it is very difficult to wade through. It wasn't great when it was written, but by today's standards it's atrocious.

 

I've fixed more than 300 issues so far that consisted of mostly poor performance issues with a heavy peppering of security holes and issues.

 

The load time on server has been reduced from 0.280ms average (with several second spikes) to an average of 0.03ms. So hopefully that's noticeable and helpful to you guys.

 

Trying my best to test thoroughly, as I've finally got it to a point I can work on it offline and push updates appropriately.

 

Sorry for any issues that causes anyone, though. Please continue to let me know any issues that arise.

Hrm, I haven't seen this just yet, but I'll keep testing and see if I can fix this up.

Glad you fixed it.  And I hear you on wading through 10 year old code.  Hell, some of my code from only three years ago I take a look at and go "thank god there aren't bugs in there, because fixing them will require a total rewrite."

This with the load time is really the best change. The first thing I noticed, the second thing were the changes made to the theme.

 

If the forum software was written in 2006 and if it is so bad, why not changing to a more modern one and a good one? Wouldn't that help alot?

Once the transfer is fully done and everything is stable. The plan is to re-evaluate all of the systems we use and look into better solutions. But the important part is to make sure everything is stable/cleaned up so we can get a full lay of the land.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

This. The reality is, the more I can clean it up and smooth things out now, the easier it will be if and when we decide to migrate to something else. I'm just the guy cranking the cogs right now, so I don't want to speak out of place.

 

I echo Lex, I want it to be clean, stable, and secure for you guys. I'll keep doing my best to make sure that's how it goes :D

    • Jagex held the Winter Summit towards the end of the year, where it revealed its content plans for 2023. Old School RuneScape recently got its Grandmaster Quest which serves as an expansion of Desert Treasure, a quest which is nearly twenty years old. If you were in the game the time Desert Treasure came out, you can imagine how thrilled a lot of players of OSRS gold were when the sequel was revealed. Desert Treasure II will make its way into Old School RuneScape during the summer of 2023. it's expected to introduce new bosses and content. There will be even more social elements that will be added to the Woodcutting game that has been a favorite with gamers. There's a new quest called the Secret of the North, which is a master-level quest is now available in the game and comes with some amazing boss fights that are only for solo players. Additionally, the Bounty Hunters miniature game returning to the game, which is sure to delight PvP players. I am sure there will be more games to come out by 2024 or later. RuneScape will not be going away and there's plenty of new content available to enjoy each year. The gameplay, the content, advancement systems, environments and even the music do not need introduction. I'd lie if I claimed that the game doesn't show its age. However, OSRS remains an enjoyable experience loved by the players and hasn't changed for over two decades. I've had plenty of unpleasant experiences in RuneScape and was cheated to death by "friends" earlier in the days, but we grow and learn. Even though it's a long-running MMORPG The game has a huge player base and there are many loyal players who have played for a long time. I had been away playing for a long time and yet it took me just a few minutes to locate helpful players who came together and assisted me. RuneScape is one of the most friendly communities I've seen across all gaming. my experience as a player was mostly positive, even in 2023. We're all aware of how much of the community devotes itself to skills, and it appears that we aren't seeing the final of the skills system yet. The new skill still to be announced and will be available in the coming months. Additionally, the minigames and side-activities are not left out by the game's developers, and they are constantly adding more features to the game. Over two decades of material is available, and, at the rate that it is going I'm not able to even guess how long the game will flourish. The community is active in its part in providing feedback and requests for more features for the old game. In the age of next-generation gaming, OSRS and RuneScape still retain the interest of a lot of players and keep them returning every day. I would highly suggest RuneScape in addition to Old School RuneScape to new players of 2023. but there's a caveat. The MMORPG genre has changed dramatically throughout the years, and it isn't easy to suggest RuneScape to those who are familiar with contemporary graphics and the extravagant environments that many of MMORPGs and live-services have to offer. However, if graphics aren't important to you and you are looking for a game that is fun, then consider giving it a shot and it's definitely worth the time. If you're a veteran who gave up RuneScape and cheap OSRS gold and is contemplating returning it, I highly recommend that you play the latest game's content. Like I said, RuneScape respects your time and, even if it's been more than a decade since the last time you played, you'll not have any issues jumping in to the action and starting it over and over. The process of preparing for new features took approximately a week. I had the chance to play the brand-new Secrets of the North content even after a lengthy hiatus.
    • Electronic Arts is making some much-needed changes to its soccer annual game EAFC 24 Coins. The addition of cross-play between PC, PS5. Stadia as well as Xbox Series X/S gamers and also players from PS4 as well as Xbox One players, is very thrilling. Cross-play has been demanded in FIFA by players for quite a long time. But as exciting as it may be, EA is actually holding off on providing full support for the technology. Particularly, FC 24 is not offering cross-play in its well-known Pro Clubs game mode. A confirmed statement from EA has stated that FC 24's cross-play feature will not be available for Pro Clubs in the foreseeable time. The reason according to EA is to ensure that "product innovativeness is of high top quality." Furthermore, Pro Clubs, according to EA is a degree of technical complexity that is higher than what developers can handle at the moment. "Technical complexity" is a subtle method of describing the scenario. The Pro Clubs of FIFA permit the use of up to 22 players in an online multiplayer game that includes between 2 and 11 real players in each team. Connecting 22 players on one platform isn't a simple task and adding interplay of the four platforms can make difficult. In the real world, the platforms pose less complicated than 22 players, however EA is just exploring cross-play, and therefore it's plausible when they say that additional time is required. It isn't stopping FIFA fans from feeling dissatisfied and angry about the situation However. Demands for cross-play being made available to FC 24 Pro Clubs are being circulated across the web and FIFA YouTuber JCC encouraging players to join support the cause. JCC along with other well-known players within the FIFA community are complaining that EA of placing the importance of FIFA Ultimate Team above the core experience like Pro Clubs. The company is very grateful that it has responded to the growing discontent within members of the FIFA community, saying it is aware of the criticism. Electronic Arts then points to its FIFA Twitter account to receive future updates on its plans for future games. This isn't a guarantee at all but it's about the closest a game's creator can get to say that something is being developed. FC 24 is all but certain to not have cross-play features for Pro Clubs at launch, or during the game's release. Maybe Pro Club cross-play will end being tested in FC 24 similar to how the basic cross-play was implemented in cheap EAFC 24 Coins. More likely, the feature will be a bit further away to be released by EA Sports FC's launch in 2023 or even later. It's also possible that FIFA fans are right and that EA's priority lies in FUT. It's the responsibility of EA to prove the criticism is not true.
