Not long ago I started a minecraft world on a new 1.9 snapshot and friends wanted to join so I took my world file and dropped it in a server. Now a little later they are losing intrest in it already but I'm still having my fun. I tried copying the world file back in the saves folder but then I ran into a little problem. I started with the progress I was in before I put it on a server. I was in the same location with the same health, hunger, items, armor, ... This wasn't all a problem when I transfered it to a server. So how do I end up with the progress I was at when I last played on the server?
On singleplayer this default "Player" version takes precedence. If it exists, it will always be used first; it doesn't care who the user is, so long as it's singleplayer. This also allows singleplayer worlds to be played offline, as a UUID is not needed/used.
Both of these locations are saved to with your current in-game data when you are playing singleplayer, but only your UUID-named file is updated when playing multiplayer. The problem you are having is that only your UUID-named file was updated when playing on the server, but now the world is singleplayer again the "Player" file has taken precedence, which was only saved to on singleplayer (and thus remains in the state it was when you last played singleplayer).
To fix this, you'd first need a backup from before the transfer. Open up level.dat with something like NBTExplorer, delete the "Player" file and then log into the world on singleplayer. This should force it to load your UUID file and then save the Player file based on that, rather than the other way around. Everything should work fine from there.
Floats have a limited amount of digits. Increasing the map size, will decrease the precision as the comma shifts to the right to accomplish greater numbers. Rebasing will help you to keep those floats small and precise enough. It can be used in multiplayer, just like jonimake posted above, you have to take care of the relative coordinates.
As this distance increases, so does the error.
For example, at 40074.28 Km (real earth size) this error is about 2Km. Any coordinate value calculated at this distance can be 2Km off in your absolute world position.
Things like teleportation and ai can often resolve to the wrong location. The magnitude of this depends on the specific calculations involved.
Figured I would ask this question, as I have not seen an answer. Is it possible for me and my one friend to have 1 world, and me and my OTHER friend to have another? I know the answer may not be as simple as "Create new world", but is it even possible as of now, and if so, how?
Yes it is. The world is saved as a folder called "servertest" in the sandbox folder of Zomboid/Sandbox on whoever is hosting the server. All you would need to do is copy that world and put it somewhere safe and delete the one in the server. When you start up the server it will generate a new world with a folder called "servertest" just like before. Copy that and keep it safe. So basically keep note of which world folder corresponds to whatever friends session. Then place it in the Zomboid/Sandbox folder to play in that world. After each game session you will need to backup the folder again since the world will of changed.
What I managed to do was make a folder in the Zomboid folder named PZ char backups, and I have all of the extra worlds in there. Like Connall said, you can just copy your old world, save it to a separate directory and replace it with the world you want to use with your friend.
Hello all,
I have recently wanted to transfer my single player world where people that are not on the same Wi-Fi network can only join.
One where it is open to the entire public. or something
Any ideas?
From there, there is a folder named saves, your world file is there. Once you have your Minecraft server set up and downloaded from the Minecraft website, and your port forwarded, you want to launch the server once, it should create a folder called world, take the singleplayer world you want to be open to the public and swap it out with the world file in the server folder
Having played Ark a few years back, I assumed that connection issues were natural in the engine when attempting to join and never questioned why joining her games would take multiple attempts, even when we first started our Conan world.
I agree that the current system of needing to view the cutscenes before you co-op is pretty bad all told but as a series regular I guess I'm willing to be slightly forgiving initially since this is the first time the series has combined single player and multiplayer progression into one. You used to have separate quest lines and HR for each so given the series penchant for design weirdness I can totally understand where this is coming from given that this is their first attempt at it. I also vastly prefer this janky system to having to go through separate SP and MP progression so maybe that's where my tolerance is coming from.
Yeah, there were similar complaints in the "new player" thread, and just about everywhere on the internet. It's pretty clear they botched how they handled the traditional story quests with multiplayer. I'm playing the game almost exclusively with a friend and we have it down now, but it sucks.
All other quests can be done multiplayer like normal. The consensus I've seen from MH vets is that the story was traditionally single-player only and really serves as a (long) tutorial for how to play the game. The majority of the game is *not* story, but it certainly is frustrating since it's billed as a pure multiplayer experience and then the campaign quests are a huge pain in the ass. Despite all that, we're still having a lot of fun playing the game together.
Turns out Monster Hunter World is one of those games that makes multiplayer hard from the get-go until you've cleared some solo content...Unlike every other game in the series from Freedom Unite and onward.
Agreed that the implementation of multiplayer story is this game's one unforgivable sin. It is truly awful. It won't matter for end-game, but for new people who just want to play through it together and stay partied up, it is unbelievably obnoxious and stupid. What on earth were they thinking? Even a good story wouldn't be worth putting up with these weird restrictions on multiplayer, and I wouldn't call the story in this game. It is bog-standard stuff. No to mention that your protagonist is silent!
I'm currently trying to write (as a part of "simple multiplayer game as an example of real time client-server application" assignment) multiplayer game server for simple fast-paced game for few players (less than 20 i think). I'm using TCP sockets for packets that require guaranteed delivery (ie.: chat messages, login and logout requests, ping packets, etc) and UDP for everything that does not necessarily need to be delivered since only the last packet that got through is important (ie.: user input, game world and objects updates, etc).
I should mention here, how my game world looks like. Every object server side has its id, role and owner members. Id is basically identifier for clients so, once I send them object updates they know which object to update on their side. Owner is information about object owner, ie.: player which controls the actor. I use it to remove orphaned objects once player loses connection / logs out. Most objects however has this value set to Server. And finally role determines whether object is important to clients. This can be set to ServerSide (for objects that do not need to be replicated to clients as they are only used in server side game state calculation), RelevantToOwner (this objects get replicated only to their owner, ie.: player private inventory does not need to be replicated to everyone), RelevantToList (object gets replicated to all players from list, ie.: i have list of players to whom the object is visible and i replicate only to them) and RelevantToAll (replicate to everyone).
When user sends login packet I check whether I have free slot and if yes, then I replicate world to him (send current world state - every object that does not have role set as ServerSide or RelevantToList - unless of course the client is on the list for that object).
do you need to send them the whole world? Is your world not made of zones/rooms. Normally you send the smaller area. It also depends on how much data on the objects within that you should send, for example. If a player has an inventory, no point sending that to all the other players unless they specifically ask for it - items worn (if a visual game then yes you need to or it draws them wrong)

Description:
Played a multiplayer game with a friend, I was host inviting him. We decided to create new characters to start from the beginning - but when I started the game I started in the same Safe house as my old character, although without XP or loot.
Multiplayer is a game mode in which Terraria can be played with or against other remote players online. Multiplayer worlds are cooperative by default, with player versus player (PvP) available for activation once multiplayer is entered.
Player versus player (PvP) is a multiplayer mode that allows players, or teams of players, to attack each other. PvP is activated by joining a multiplayer world and enabling the PvP option by clicking on the crossed swords near the armor and accessory slots / in the PvP menu found in the inventory. In the PC version and Mobile version, the only way a player can damage another player is if both players have the PvP option enabled, or through traps such as Boulders, Land Mines or Lava.
