Spawn protection

[Vlad 73]

Like some other things in this mod, this still needs tweaks. To call it useless is shortsighted.

Sorry if you misunderstood me.

The idea is good.

The current implementation is useless (doesn't bring any use).

Also does each person affect the protection? Because it will be better that 10 people generate more and faster protection then just 1.

You're right. I understand what you're saying.

The spawn protection works perfectly as intended as the below picture confirms. I spent 2 in game days in the middle square and all 9 chunks are reading the same amount of protection. I also saved, exited and re-entered the world to make sure that everything was saving properly. It is.

The fact that mobs are wandering up to your house and attacking you is your own fault for not building a wall. The purpose of spawn protection is to prevent mobs from spawning inside or on top of your house/base. Having your mommy check under the bed for monsters and her not finding any might mean that there are no monsters under your bed, but it doesn't mean they won't come try to find you once she leaves.

There is a very common misconception that I've addressed in IRC back when this was first implemented and apparently it never made its way to the forums. The spawn protection affects a 3x3 area. This means the corner chunks ARE affected!

To answer the question about multiple players. This WILL build protection much faster. An encampment with 10 people in the wilderness is far more likely to keep wild animals at bay than a lone camper on his own would.

A good explanation indeed.

In multiplayer with many players, where there is always at least one player that stays in the base, this idea can work really well. But in sigleplayer, where the player needs to leave it's house for a day or two, will come back into a house without protection. (at least that is how it worked for me)

So maybe it will be better that the recharge speed depends on the amount of max players in the game/server as well?

Hello!

I have a server that block strange works. Earlier like it was written on a wiki. But now, as to go far, the unit once it becomes completely empty. Build 75.

It's becoming sort of a trend to necro threads lately..

As for your question __LEXX__, I'm sorry but I honestly can't understand you :/

[Aridhol 41]

Yeah.. me neither, sorry

As I gather... Lexx runs a server in which his protection meter is acting quirky.

Earlier, it used to work like it says on the wiki... but now, if he leaves the chunk and goes too far, he comes hack to an empty protection meter...

I think. My English is a bit rusty. Lol. ;p

[Aridhol 41]

Oh, thats makes sense... Yeah I don't touch the thing, so I can't really help you there..

That is ok, Lexx. At least you try.
