    Yeah I thought so. But if they want to make exploration mode to be their "official" thing, then there is custom map for non-official DS, which I think will be generated much better in the future. Up voted this thread. ;)

    As long as they have Protection barrier working in the new mode then sure im all for it.. unlike the current system...

    If I remember correctly that light is caused by waypoint, basically current waypoint will work to npc just like teleporter. They (NPCs) won't walk to it. Again if I remember correctly, if you want to make NPC standstill, double click on the character. Sorry it's been a while, I forgot the details.. xD

    ahh, i don't really touch the editor at all really.. so that's new to me, thought they were "lights" or "flares" xD .

    So waypoint issue, for now maybe make them static (standing), at least until a fix is put out witch is likely 0.9

    Looking at the gif, i would say that those flares or lights are causing them to do that..

    unless you put them there to emphasize the issue at hand, which seems to be a intermittent teleporting issue.

    Given the time in Europe right now you wont get an official response for quite some time.

    I remember that on stephens server they didn't move, maybe ask him how he did it.

    Other than that ill put it down to being an alpha bug

    p.s is there really a need for big text?

    Look for the birds and follow them to land.  Whenever you run into the warning that there’s nothing in front of you but blue ocean, shift 45 degrees until you clear the message and keep going.  You’ll run into something sooner or later.

    And look out for other transcontinental birds in other directions

    - Creative: as it currently is

    - Explore: as it currently is - editable, but no story or boss

    - Story: the full game, so not editable

    My idea:

    Creative: SP (maybe MP on a locked DS)

    Explore: MP/DS

    Story: SP

    Key: SP = Singleplayer MP= Multi = DS= Dedicated server

    One way to  feed the  monkey griefers...

    (50  banana trees on the  one spot...):D

     

    For all players out there... please do not do this... from a DS operator perspective, not only is this annoying to have and remove but it does take a performance hit for the server.. especially when its more than just a "personal supply"

    I Should note our particular server has been around since ~17th Jan this year or version 0.6

    We are also Australian, only 1 of 2 ( 2nd one comes and goes ) that's public in PA region.

    tbh honest unless you play several hours a day, and have moderator(s), banning items never works.... there is no policing or enforcing to it..

    From experience people will do whatever they want if they want to... you can't stop them unless you have active staff playing all hours... there is no logging of players actions.. which also makes administration non existent.. especially when staff are away.

    I certainly cannot be online every time, and since the 0.7 fiasco server has been real quiet... i certainly got frustrated to a point i almost threw it all in... it's only very recently i have starting playing again... when i can.

    My current policy on running the server is, providing a better experience than official servers, stability, reliability, up time, Active admin that maintains the server, which

    can be an issue on official servers.

    I keep the server up for the community, and a hope that soon... DS will get a big update making it real nice to run.

    I have noticed from previous saves that once it reaches around ~20MB in size, it starts to degrade.. and generally when "proactive maintenance" becomes a chore, aka "cleaning corpses and junk items".

    I also logged in one day, loaded in fine, started making my way to a island ( live in the ocean ) and when it started loading in.. server crashed.. since then i wait and then for it to "catch up" in order for it to not crash..

    All comes down to popularity and Geo Location, as for me, server is super small, some occasional players, however we are in the oceanic region so

    less population overall so basically near 0% demand..

    Server has been live since 0.8.. still going. I don't get much time to play, but when i do its few a few hours at a time.

    Edit: Editing for clarity, the server has reset itself various amount times due to unknown reasons.. i check in each day and i might find 3-5 log files..

    indicating it tripped at some point and rebooted ( auto reboot part of the hosting service features ), i check these logs and nothing to point out why

    the server tripped.

    May i suggest not to use official servers? unmonitored/unmoderated and use community player driven ones.

    You're experience would probably be a better one overall, that is if you participate with the community itself.

    Otherwise solo on official servers is fine, so long as you leave the spawn island asap, and things get 80% immediately better when you settle somewhere else.
