As far as I know, we don't have any backdoors in our software.

Someone should update the meetup link which is at the forum header and make it direct to http://cuberite.org/news/start-of-cuberite-meetup/

[ThuGie]

What even happened to that was that not 2 days ago, have not heard anything about it at all so far.
Where there recordings or a log or anything ? a result of the meetings ? how was it ?

[xoft]

It started this Friday and finished today; I'm still sitting at the meeting point
There is a twitch stream, and a mumble server is used for audio conferencing.

Yup, I do not know C (and neither C++).

7 and 8 tripped me up. I had to look up operator precedence again though.

Someone wants to dig into pe saves? http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pocket_Ed...vel_format

I am not sure when my Android version is available but importing (and maybe exporting) pe worlds with one tap would be soooooo cool (usually android apps are java but c++ should work, too (or, of course, as plugin)

Look what I found https://github.com/medav/cuberite
seems like he is playing with the jni a lot

[Schwertspize]

A bit bad..... Because IMHO we don't want to use jni (and for Android the NDK) for that, because that would tight cuberite too much to the app. In particular that means we have to build a new apk file with every new version, especially when using the app store that is bad because then people don't get updates when they want to use it (app store has delay), they get updates every day they DONT want to use it. Way better and a much cleaner approach would be implementing kind of a wrapper which downloads binary and libraries from the build bot.

Edit: @sphinxc0re you are wrong. After writing a few emails with him (I got instant replies) he made clear that he wasn't playing with jni, he was actually dropping everything he doesn't need. In reality, I wanna provide a quote from an email:

I have a 5-Raspberry Pi cluster sitting around and I thought it'd be cool to put a Minecraft server on it capable of using all 20 cores and 5gb of RAM. I forked Cuberite and plan to strip it down and MPI-ify it.

He then said if he would finish it, it would be nice if he had a branch or whatever containing his cluster-oriented cuberite flavor.

It seems every other thread on this forum derails into "what are you doing now, devs?" thread. So I thought I'll make one thread with exactly this content - we'll post here what we're currently working on, if working on something at all

Please don't de-rail other threads now. Ask here.

Dear diary. I've just finished fast NBT parser and writer. The results are astonishing, Anvil is now on par with Compact storage schema, speed-wise.

I'll continue working on the composable_generator branch. The generator is finished enough, but now lighting needs to be rewritten to take full advantage of the generator. This will probably take some time, as lighting is both difficult to do and has grown too much into other code, so cutting out the current one and replacing it will be lots of work.

Cool, I really think you should have a PLUGIN similar to plotme
