VoxelMotion?

[Bryguy]

I remember hearing here that VoxelMotion would be release back in January. Was this meant as simply being released for the server itself, or for everyone? Just wondering since the plugin looked quite interesting and I have not heard anything about it for three months now.

[Burgerkrieg]

VoxelMotion is now part of VoxelTronics, I think.

[coolpilot]

But... VoxelMotion was originally a part of Tronix, and was separated from it. If it's true that it's a part of Tronix again, then that's confusing as hell. ><

[psanker]

No, it's not part of Tronix, and maybe. It's in a rather poor state at the moment, so the change of release is 30%.

I keep hearing that development has been stopped on VoxelMotion and I notice it is now listed as a legacy plugin too, without being on the actual plugin pages.

As I've not been on the server much lately due to biting off way more than I could chew by working on my first ever adventure map, I was wondering what broke? Plus didn't have many details when I last asked him.

Also, might it be an idea to release it on github with the other plugins and see if anyone else can help fix it? Just a thought.

I've forked the current plugins personally, but I'm new to Java, so I don't think I'd be the person capable of fixing VoxelMotion lol.

Motion is not in the best shape, and has some serious bugs like corrupting chunks. It still *works* in 1.1, but other than that no. We can hope peter would fix it but no promises.

I can see why corrupting chunks would be a VERY bad idea for a plugin! Thanks for letting me know. It's such a shame as I had great plans involving it, as I'm sure many people did! Last I had heard, it was just having problems with liquids and it ended up causing a small lava fountain in spawn to break and spread lava all over the water pond it was in.

I've spoken with Prz about this. The development for this plugin has stopped, as there is better things that has been done since then. He wants to revisit it, and do it again from scratch, and completely differently. Do not expect this soon, we are in the midst of updating the servers core plugins first before we begin to create any fun ones.

May I take a look at the old source?

1. Billy is not the guy too ask about these things
2. You have access to the writing codez forums, discuss its source their
3. Ask Przerwap, cant promise anything

That wasn't the plugins fault * entirely*. Morons would turn the fountain on, leave it, fly away. Next server reload, Motion looses track of the liquid (Obviously not its fault), and the entire pond gets covered in lava. Which left Plusnine countless times to fix it.

And this is why we don't have nice things.

motion circuits did, I believe, turn themselves off when chunks unloaded. Whether or not they remembered which frame they were on, etc., I don't know (which would be necessary, at a minimum, to avoid troubles with liquids). But it is certainly possible to avoid somehow, and may be one of the things prz has worked on fixing since then. Shrug.

off topic but i havent seen prz lately,

[Gavjenks]

prz has been online like 10 times in the last 24 hours that I have seen personally.

[Billyyjoee]

While thedeadlybutter is right, I am not the person to ASK about these things, what I have said is right. Progress on this plugin has stopped until Prz has the time, and, if it is to be redone, it will be done from scratch and with new controls. You're very unlikely to get the source, it's one of his babies. Prz is active though, so you can speak with him about it.

I think he used to be a little inactive but returned, he's very active lately.
