It was working a couple of minutes ago. Then I left, restarted Minecraft and now I am getting a "Bad login" error once, and then "End of stream" every time I re-try. When I restart Minecraft it gives me "Bad login" again only once, then "End of stream". All these errors pop up as quickly as that previous error. Is this the same issue with the server just being down?

EDIT: And, of course, 20 minutes later its all back to working fine again.

Your biggest decision should be whether to go far a Camcorder or a DSLR (digital single lens reflex). Google "camcorder vs dslr" or something and you should find plenty of info. In a nutshell, with camcorders you mostly point and shoot, but photo functionality sucks. DLSRs (I would strongly suggest a Canon 550D which should be - almost - in your price range) are more complex, you'll have to learn the theory side of photography and work on it a bit but on the upside their visual quality is out of this world (camcorders only catch up in this respect in the 2000 euro and up department). Modern DSLRs are of course still made for photography but their movie mode is very, very capable. Check out this video made with the 550D if you need proof:

I just tried it again and it's back to working, dunno what the issue is/was or if anybody changed anything or it just fixed itself.

EDIT: and now it's back to that error again.

I noticed my nick is actually "NihilSC" with a non-capital L. Unlikely that this is the cause as I never got this error before like two days ago.

Got that error AGAIN. Really annoying. Any ideas what could be causing it this time?

EDIT: and it's working again :p

I was playing just fine, all of the sudden it drops me and I'm back to the error. Sigh.

Needs to be:

Code: ags

if (l == 0.0) return true;

Did the trick for me. Thanks!!

Hmm, can't connect again.

Code: ags

Failed to connect to the server

Connection refused: connect

This error pops up very quickly, unlike the other errors we all got a couple of times before it would work and log us in. Did I drop off the whitelist maybe? I'm NihiLSC.

Getting that same error again.

I don't have the impression you learn anything but I can't ultimately judge that, I guess.

But yes, you DO make other people work for you, constantly. Ironically enough, this thread is a perfect example. There's a function you say you know exists but "can't remember it". Instead of putting a TINY LITTLE BIT of effort into it, open AGS, hit F1 and read the manual for like 5 minutes you instead open a thread and wait for somebody to respond after having done the work FOR you. That is what I mean, and it is strictly against the rules of the forum (for a good reason). This is why I'm immensely annoyed. For reference, I don't think you're a bad person.

Oh it isn't easy to learn AGS? I'm sure glad neither me nor anybody else had to go through the process. Some people want to make non-adventure games and plugins with AGS? Never knew that.

And I don't think you learn ANYTHING from any of your threads. Yes, you bug people until they are nice enough to just work FOR you and post their code, which you then - brainlessly - copy & paste. Then you experience more problems because a lot of code just CAN'T be copy & pasted like that, it's a couple more posts between the guy that was selfless enough to sacrifice themselves and you and then you have your inventory window or text window, your "RPG battlesystem" or your "multiplayer engine" sorted out. Then you uploaded some broken one room crap and call it a game.

The point is: you don't have to make thousands of threads and posts to improve, neither me nor anybody else had do to it to make games with AGS. Put a tiny amount of effort into ANYTHING and don't keep making other people work for you. Then you would have learned something.

This has to stop. I'm the last person to disrespect newcomers to AGS, to the community or to programming but you need a time-out. I've been pestered by your worthless posts and topics for the last months, and you just refuse to make ANY effort towards improving anything about your "contributions" here.

There are two options that I can think of right now: either you are suffering from a severe learning disease (or a similar illness), in which case you should let us know so we can help you while being aware of any special needs and I would, of course, apologize sincerely for my strong words. The other option, and more likely one at that, is that you are aged somewhere between 11 and 13 - in which case you are to young for these forums anyways (the age limit is 16, in cases were younger people are able to adapt there can be exceptions).

Sorry for playing the moderator here but his posts are making it increasingly hard to enjoy these forums and the community and I have been letting months pass by now in which no actions at all seem to have been taken (if there were personal messages they haven't achieved anything).

As far as this thread goes, I can't understand your problem. At all. I tried reading your post three times, it doesn't make any sense.

EDIT: Now that edited your post and I re-read it another three times, I think I know what you mean. Khris has answered.

Yeah that's all nice and good in theory :p The problem is, you are almost always alone on the server and there is a pretty huge and complex city building up. If you went through there at all during any time of the day you would CONSTANTLY make creepers explode with absolutely no way to avoid it. Again, I'd hate to ruin somebody else's hard work.

With an active server that is prepared that monsters will be turned on in X days and can put up defenses and all it's a different story.

When I wasn't interested in playing on the server anymore, it always worked fine, of course now that I am motivated again it won't let me connect. :p

My problem with the monsters wasn't that I didn't like the thrill and danger of dying, it's just that they were bugging out - especially creepers would hardly ever die even in broad daylight meaning it was impossible for me to move out of my home without risking ruining other people's hard work in the village by having one of them explode on me.

EDIT: working again.

Awesome, great job with the up-keeping of the server BTW. It seems to have been running smoothly lately (even though the actual game was probably the cause for most crashes I presume).

I have to say, the monsters have killed all the fun for me. I know a lot of people asked for them to be turned on but even when I sneak into the server from time to time now, there's really never anybody else on anymore. Maybe turning them off again would be an option? Is there anybody else who would like them off as well?

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how on earth did you handle that in the past; how did all your PMQ games keep track of the player's health?

I'm pretty sure he made a million of these annoying, stupid and pointless threads until people gave him code he was able to copy&paste successfully.

Server appears to be down and has been that way all day here. 

EDIT: Nevermind, working fine again!

I think there might be an issue with volume because I can also only go to 16-17k. Or is there anybody that actually hears more than some clicks and pops when you begin or end the sample at 18-19k on that site?

Yep, a little frustrating at the moment but it should all be fixed soon!
