that is my problem. my It wont update I am stuck at 1.6.0_05!
Have you tried removing java completely and reinstalling again?
I encountered this problem before on a windows pc i had to ctrl alt delete and stop some process that was stopping me from removing java installation.Once you remove java and update you can play my game without crashing yeahh ;D
I can only imagine my conversation with my IT department:
“hey I removed java to update it, can you fix it?”
“???” smaks face
Dam they should be fixing it asap.how can you live without the new version.well must wait till you get home ;D
I cannot fix it at home!!! Which is frankly pissing me off. I don’t have admin privelages!
I wonder what they would do if I deleted java? hmm… the begging of an idea!
Hey guys, I thought I should put up an update. We have implemented the new character into the game finally, its got arms! lol

We also changed the secondary gun to be strapped to the player. And we released some new weapons, the coolest by far is the Spike Ball gun. It shoots spiky balls that bounce and explode then spikes shoot out everywhere.
This week I’ll be working on equipment like armor and stuff, I want to hear what you guys think of the new character.
Is that a walking explodey can? 
Sure is, its like a suicide bomber. Heh check out what I’m working on now.

Wooo helmet! 
Hey guys, I just finished finally with Inventory and Equipment. Although right now there isn’t much to equip. I now have to work on enemy drops and getting more images of stuff the artists have given me in game.
So far we have helmets, eye wear, chest pieces(shirts/armor), pants, shoes, belts, and hair styles code done.

A preview of what we have so far.
I might be working on hack proofing the game first before I do anything else.
umm the chat is not working right now, I am on google chrome. maybe my school has just tightened down security but we will see.
I fixed that, thanks for the info h3ckboy.
I also added a few more things to the chat. It changes your username color when your typing, so people will get some feedback when they’re waiting for responses. And you can also type /afk to show your away from keyboard. I also optimized it so it doesn’t update the chat when its the same.
Right now I’m adding in some more clothes one of the artists has given me.
when were you going the mention the whole multiplayer thing???
btw, where is this tutorial you mentioned :persecutioncomplex:.
EDIT: nvm found it 
Ah yes, thanks to my team pushing me and the success of Minecraft I have started to work on multiplayer code. Once I got started its surprising how simple it was, so I made a tutorial on how to get started with Multiplayer coding. You can check it out on the company site www.CorvStudios.com.
All I have to do is split up the current code in between the Server and the Client, which is just tedious.
is you server fast? cause it must be if it is basically going to run multiple versions of VE
I only glanced at it so this may already be answered, but how do you manage to get UDP working when only sending key presses? Then any lost packets translate into a missing key press, so you will get big sync issues. Do you send fake presses to account for these or something similar? I’ve never been a fan of just sending key presses because it seems laden with potential de-sync problems.
The client sends a packet every frame, so if some packets are lost its pretty much unnoticeable by the players. This Server/Client method is best for games that don’t require every packet arriving.
Its working great for VE so far 
It just occured to me, this could be why bullets sometimes dont register.
No that’s not why, packets arriving is the least of my problems. Bullets registering hits is done on the server, so it just means my physics code is not compensating for the speed of the bullet. So the classic jumping the entity is occurring, but I’m working on some new physics code, that will give me a lot more to work with.
Just signed up, and tried the full version out. Very nice. I enjoyed saving up for the guns and the upgrading them and then kicking ass 8)
Nice, I’m glad you liked it. Yeah once you upgrade you definitely feel like Rambo
