Okay, we got 1.7.4 relatively late, and that is because of the whole world replace thingy and bukkit. For the next update, about how long will it take? The next update is pretty big, but not a huge one like 1.7.4, yet bigger than the horse or redstone updates. I have no experience with running a server, and am curious as why we have to let Bukkit update. Does it just go "ploop" when used on an updated server? Or does it just add a few things to be compatible with new functions?
From what I understand, it takes forever because literally every plugin we have has to get updated to the current update, not just the plugins that are affected by the update. I honestly don't know, but I've always assumed this.
why are you posting this now.. that next update won't be for ages and like pie said, we have to wait for it to update because every plugin needs to be fixed... example, say we updated to 1.8 when prism was 1.7.. it wouldn't work well for anybody.
If you think of what a mod is, it's a modification of the game files and such, bukkit changes a largeish amount of them. If we try to use a new server and an old version of bukkit, then it'll try searching for maybe code that isn't there, or not register any changes and such. If we try to run it, then we risk running into severe complications.
That would be because we reset the logs so often (because the database usually gets so filled up with hopper transactions and other stuffs.) that prism is practically useless for a bit.
cp is like the same as prism just i (think) prism logs more (perhaps unnecessary things) which can be disabled anyway. Idk whether it is smoother or just has nicer coding or whatever, but as far as using them is concerned, they are the same (even commands are basically the same)
