One Hour One Life Forums

sure! 

check these 2 pages:
https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLife/releases
https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7/releases

If there is a new version in one of these folders update that git repo.  There is also a utility script for helping with this called "pull.sh" in at least OneLifeData7.

After you update the data repo you need to delete the caches.  the pull.sh script does this for you, but the command is rm */cache.fcz  in that folder  (be very careful with rm command cuz it can wreck your system if you input it wrong).

If there was an update for OneLife, you have to recompile the server.  Just do the git pull in OneLife and then run ./configure and make again in the server directory of OneLife

The first time I tried to run 'git pull' in the OneLifeData7 folder to update the repo I got some issues with git saying I was not on a branch.  Unfortunately I don't know enough about git to explain how to resolve this problem correctly, but make sure you're on the OneLife_v65 branch or whatever version it is.  I was able to figure it out after some searching but then I had to fix it later because I really suck at git   Remember you can check the dataVersionNumber.txt in at least the OneLifeData7 folder

Either that or Jason just pushed another update, the madman!

Server going down to apply update

V64 is not posted to git yet, false alarm.  Don't update on the official servers til tomorrow when Jason updates git if you want to play here.

Server coming back online now

...

OK turns out I just suck at GIT.  The v64 update is in the other repo , not the data repo.  Gonna take the server down and then we'll be at v64 the latest!  update your client

My discord is Zenchess #3779 although if you go to the one hour one life discord i'm always logged in if you need to find me

Also , can anyone report in if the server is laggy right now?  Yesterday it became laggy after running for about 7 hours or so, but restarting it fixed it.

Ok so it turns out there was ANOTHER update today.  I'm going to update the server within 30 minutes from now (2:42 pm central).

Ok, server should be updated.  Let me know if it worked this time without wiping the world.  (make sure you update your client by connecting to the official servers , we're on v63 now)

I like the idea of a sandbox server with hunger turned WAY down.  I'll probably set one up tomorrow.

Ok I am taking down the server to update the version!

Ok finally got it to work.  Sorry about the downtime.  Go to http://www.onehourone.life:8080/
and you can see the server output.  Scroll up to freeze it (it scrolls by very fast) and figure out your player number (i think we're up to like 100 or so already).

Pick up a rock or something so you figure out what your player number is, and you should be able to figure out your coordinates somehow by reading the output.

edit: Easiest way to find yourself in the console output is to say something

Announcement: Server briefly going down at 5:30 pm central time (about a half hour from now), so I can pipe the server console to a webpage.  You'll then be able to find your coordinates by moving in game and checking with the webpage.  However it might be a bit confusing if there are multiple people, but once you figure out what your player number is by doing something like picking up a rock or whatever it will be easier.  The server will only be down for like a minute at most if everything goes well.

Edit:  One more thing.  If you don't want your login email to be revealed, please use a fake email for server login.

The utiity I used didn't work well with the game.  I'm going to try a different one.  Server may come down randomly for the next 20 minutes or so.

Well, right now there's no big reason to use the server, I guess just do it if you want something different.  The server also has no key checks so there's that.

I am in the works though of adding a few new features, so it will be a bit different than the official servers.  I'm open to suggestions.  For instance, I could change the food bonus to 3 instead of the upcoming change back to 2. 

I also plan to let people have a better time of finding their base, so I'm looking into how I can let players know their coordinates.  I may just make a webpage that echoes all the server console activity, or perhaps I can modify the server source a bit to put in a command for getting your coordinates. 

  There have been a few people using the server so far, like 3 people on at max I would say.

hmm did you try changing the mapPullMode.ini back to 0?

edit:
I'll try the map pull right now

edit: Oh and change fullscreen and uselargest window back to 1

worst case scenario redownload the client to get all the default settings back

Here's how you can activate map pull mode.  Change these files and run the client, hopefully you don't starve before its done
  I believe the center is x = 0 y = 0 you may not want to get too ambitious about how far you map

  Let me know if it doesn't work, I believe I've activated it on the server but haven't tried it yet.

settings/mapPullStartX.ini
settings/mapPullEndX.ini
settings/mapPullStartY.ini
settings/mapPullEndY.ini

settings/mapPullMode.ini    < change to 1
settings/fullscreen.ini < change to 0

settings/useLargestWindow.ini  < change to 0

settings/screenWidth.ini      < set to whatever resolution you want the images to be
settings/screenHeight.ini

edit:
if it doesnt work pm me with the email you're using for the server and i can add you to the list of map pullers
