I'm using the MCS logo as a favicon, it works when MCServer sends it, but the vanilla server won't send it.

I think I'll commit the favicon PNG into the repository to show that it works

[tigerw]

Wait, vanilla doesn't send that?

Huh. It's a 64x64 PNG, I have no idea why.

On Linux, I still get a crash:

My Ubuntu VM doesn't crash, so I have no way of debugging it.

[xoft]

Woohoo, plugin messages work, I was even able to talk to WorldEditCUI, making it highlight a selection for me. The test code is in the Debuggers plugin.

Hurray

Why does everyone call me when they want to change their OS or made an old computer with broken OS work? Im not an ONG

[xoft]

Just found out another reason why I can't upgrade my XP workstations - the profiling doesn't work under Win7. They say "due to security concerns the kernel bluescreens when it detects changes that are made by the profiling kernel-mode driver"

[tigerw]

It would be a little derpy if Microsoft broke profiling on Windows 7. Where did you see that text?

[xoft]

When I tried profiling on Win7 with the profiler, it spewed out an error message, I searched for it; but I don't have the link anymore, I'm back on my home computer now (that profiling was at work).

Oh, the MSDN blog article I found was about Win8. But the profiler didn't work on Win7 either, I guess it's because it was from VS2008, rather than VS2010.

The profiler from which VS caused an error? Perhaps newer versions work.

Also, MCS does now work without complaining about lua libraries - the updater script previously failed to replace the executable, probably because I had MCS running under gdb, so hurray! :D
