I have been testing my old dell laptops with 1.6.4. Yikes. Couldn't get them to run. I removed the shaders mod. How will this effect WOH?

I'm away from home for break right now, so I can't take a closer look or test with the new Edu build 7. I'll try to help more after break.
Hmmm... They've always worked for me and my students. What version of Edu are you using?

Do you think I need to delete everything and try again?

I just tested again on build 6 and everything works fine with the pets. Are you sure you have the latest version of WoH installed from the Wiki page? They updated Animal Bikes a while ago, and existing items do not match up with the new items. But if you have everything installed correctly from the latest version, it works great.

Hello,I am looking for some other items to troubleshoot with a teacher computer that will not connect to the WoH server here at our school. I just recently set this up. Did WoH in a separate install on our server (1.6.4 build 6). Installed the client on all the student machines, they all connect fine. As the tech teacher I can also connect fine as the teacher client. Now in working with our History teacher, I also did the same install process on his classroom machine, but when he tried to connect he gets all the way past the log in as teacher or students screen and then it just quits. I have reinstalled from scratch 3 times. I also update his java incase that was the issue. I also tried forcing a couple of other IP addresses on his machine in case it was rejecting that somehow. Later, I went ahead and installed 1.6.4 b 7 in a separate folder/place (but same server IP) just to test that as well to another project we will be beginning soon and he connects fine with that one. All the machines are Macs running 10.7.x and the server is in 10.9. My machine is 10.8.5 (though I do not think this is an issue since the lab machines running 10.7 are all working).What are some other things I need to consider in troubleshooting why his computer or his particular install will not work? -Lisa
Hi Everyone!
Thanks!

I would try re-installing MinecraftEdu, and do not change the default install path. Then re-install the teacher version of the World of Humanities, and again don't change the default install path.If you need to use a custom path, make sure you are setting them to the same exact folder location. However, if you see the World of Humanities install screen, you would think the files are in the correct place.Just thought of something ---- Are you sure you didn't just install the student version? The student version does not have the map. The teacher version does. Make sure you are installing the Teacher File on your own computer, and the Students File on the student computers.

→ Experience points (XP) and levels matter now! Many areas of the world will not be open to players until they have successfully completed a certain amount of quests and gained a certain amount of levels. The XP bar and current player level will always be visible at the bottom of the screen. Quests that are the most difficult, or require the most content knowledge to complete, will give the largest amounts of XP. This should add an extra level of engagement and motivation for reading/learning in students.
→ Several "Scavenger Masters" can be found near the entrances to major sections of the world. Students can download a PDF scavenger hunt, fill it in as they explore and read, and then recite the correct answers to the Scavenger Masters for large rewards. These scavenger hunts will also help prepare students for the Grand Master Quiz in the Humanities Treehouse - perhaps the most challenging task in the whole World of Humanities.
→ A new post system, where students can receive letters in the mail from characters and quests, and can also send letters to each other. Many existing quests and dialogues have been updated to take advantage of this new feature.
→ The "Plot Diagram" - a 3-D representation of the plot structure of storytelling can be explored near the Isles of Mythology. This ties into both Greek Mythology for Humanities and also English/Language Arts content areas.
→ The "Elite Coral Island", a new free-building island only for higher-level players.
→ New treasures and secret areas added around the world to increase motivation for exploration.
→ New code words and badges.
→ Content added to the areas between the Treehouse and Mesopotamia, encouraging movement towards the earlier civilizations. Characters and quests added, as well.
→ Revision and updating of many characters, quests, and areas.
→ Updated the "Starter Pack" to include new information about the enhanced graphics settings.
Nice! Thanks Eric! I'm downloading it now.Halligator, how do you plan on using this for your students at home when students aren't allowed to have copies of mcedu on home computers? Will the map run on a normal minecraft server as well?

I reinstalled WOH, but all the NPC's and mailboxes are gone! I deleted all the mods except rei_minimap...also when I start MinecraftEDU it says that there's some D_Store or something like that in the wrong version folder but I can't find it at all in my mods folders.

Thank you so much for the reply. The plan was to only give them the stripped down student version, and of course no map. That would be on the schools server. So I didn't think they would be able to use anything but the multiplayer.Our server is still not open outside of the schools network, so my plans have been delayed because of this.I will no immediately freeze my project that was about to launch in week 11 (If IT would open our server which I fought for the last 6 months) and further investigate the rules for how this is done.Thanks for the warning Shane, and I would love to hear if someone has done this "by the book" :)

Hey looks sharp. Just wondering if it could be clearly seen from far away though. So for instance if the numbers were used to lead kids along some path...maybe the number be more white?
