ProperWeather biome regions

News on ProperWeather

Firstly, I want to say I'm still working on it.
Secondly, I've recently begun testing ProperWeather's region-specific weather API on biome-specific region system and there're several problems. The biggest one is, that there's always the same weather in all regions. The good messages about it are:
1. It only looks like that. Core says everything is alright. So there must be failure somewhere in the weather initialising code. Still looking for it.
2. Performance issues ("Can't keep up..." messages every 3 seconds) have been solved. With an exception for bigger servers with 20+ people. That may lag, but I'm really unsure about this, since I've never tested it. Just a bit of theory... :)
3. I'll write here once I get some more updates! :)

Random MineCraft news

I've got awesome news in this part! If you've stayed tuned to minecraftforums.net , you probably know what I'm talking about - Wireless Redstone in vanilla!
Yes. A guy called "777static777" has made a tutorial how to transfer redstone wirelessly without any mods. You can checkout the vid here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pdtJyX_c6Fw

Terraria news

I've recently finally got Terraria working on linux (thanx jesyspa & DeathCradle for http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/released-wip-linaria-terraria-1-1-2-for-linux.85476/ !) and I was looking forward to try some hard mechanisms. However, I'm out of resources, so I've decided to itemize(use InvEdit). And guess what. There's no working Terraria InvEdit for Linux!!! Linux must feel so disappointed. This is the point when I've decided to make Terraria InvEdit for Linux. I've got like quarter done (I'm using MonoDevelop). I'll post some screenshots once I get the inventory editing part working. It only adds/removes buffs for now.
