Random Chitchat 2012-2016

Simply cItem.m_UniqueID or something. It would get it in the same way as cFastRandom does it's seed. That way a plugin can be 100% certain that it has the proper item after a while. The ID doesn't get saved. I'm not sure what plugin would use it for.

I don't see a use-case, not without persistence, and it's impossible to do persistence properly, because the cItem may come from a cProtocol callback, being a different object but representing the same item (the item in player's hand, for example). The plugin needs to work around this. I was actually thinking about making WorldEdit items (wand for example) "special" by appending Lore to them - it could also work for the user as a reminder of what the item does.

Please add this feature Smile

I don't like to save informations in a lore / display name.
This can be very useful for a backpack and other plugins.

It's impossible in regards to protocol packets that send the item to and from the client - there's no way to push the identification information through.

So, I'm currently in the process of reinstalling everything on the new OS. Terrible, so much work to do before it's usable again.

Yea it's a pain. For school I had to install two Windows servers, MS-DOS and Ubuntu (both Desktop and Server), and we get some other operation systems later like Mac.

And Win8.1 is terrible UI-wise, I can't set it up the way I'm used to, the old-style Classic UI is not there anymore, I have to hurt my eyes with the "children's coloring screen" Sad

Stupid keyboard won't type apostrophes, doublequotes and backquotes, it waits till I press another key, WTF?

That's normal for me Smile

And yet you really like the bright colours added to the webadmin?

Children can't draw squares and rectangles so perfect, that's a terrible analogy :)

I really can't understand all the dislike for the Modern UI. For me its great, but perhaps I am biased towards Microsoft.
