AMIDST v3.7 Supports 1.2.4 - 1.7.4
( Ad free | Adf.ly ) Windows [Exe]
( Ad free | Adf.ly ) Mac OS X [App]
( Ad free | Adf.ly ) Linux [Jar]
Please note: I am unable to create Mac builds for the moment. I suggest using the Linux version as a Mac user. The current link may be broken.
Previous Changes:
Since there were quite a few, I've grouped them a bit. (Hopefully I don't miss any)
Major Changes:
- AMIDST is now under GPL v3
- Completely reworked the profile selector.
- Added automatic seed histories. If AMIDST detects a "history.txt" file next to it, it will write a time stamp followed by the seed for each seed you enter.
- Added smooth fragment fading. (This may be disabled in the options menu) Enabling this will cause all fragments to fade in when loaded.
- Most crashes now create a "crash dialog" containing a log that can easily be pasted.
- A licenses window has been added to the help menu. This will contain all relevant license information for AMIDST and its libraries.
- Added option to set the default world type to any of the world types or "prompt each time".
- Switching maps no longer eats up extra memory. (This will be a huge improvement in memory/processing performance when loading new maps)
- Rendering speeds have been vastly improved.
- Fixed issue where files would not be properly closed.
Minor Changes/Fixes:
- Hidden files/folders now show when opening a world from a file/folder.
- Added 1.7.4 to official version list.
- A new option is availible in the Options menu called "Show Debug Info". Enabling this will add a small panel to the map viewer containing debug information on fragments.
- Library loading now follows OS rules correctly. (This should fix a number of errors with loading)
- AMIDST now returns "4" on crashes. This will change at a later date to include various error codes.
- Mac OS X users should no longer experience the "corrupted" issue.
Command Line Support:
- Added a "-mcpath " flag for users to specify the path to their .minecraft directory.
- Added "-log " flag. Using this flag will cause AMIDST to write all log output to the specified file. AMIDST should create a file if it does not exist.
- Added "-history " to specify where AMIDST should write seed history to. If AMIDST cannot find a file at the path you've specified, it will attempt to make one.
Biome Color Profiles:
Overview: This was something that was added in 3.5, but I've improved on a bit for 3.6. Color profiles let you set what color each biome shows up as. To activate them, simply create a folder named "biome" next to AMIDST. After launching AMIDST again, a new file should appear in that folder called "default.js". It will contain the default options for a color profile. You may edit this directly, or create new color profiles within the folder (following the same design as default.js). Any subdirectories will show up as sub-menus. (There is also support for shortcuts, as mentioned in this post)
- Added support for biome nicknames. (Example: [ "Ice Plains", { "alias":"Really cold place", "r":255, "g":255, "b":255 } ] )
- Duplicate biome colors are now supported.
- default.json is not much cleaner.
- Biome profiles no longer cause an empty profile list when there's a syntax error.
- A new menu option for reloading your list of biome color profiles has been added.
3.5
- Fixed issue where some Mac OS X users would not have their window refresh.
- Fixed loading from amplified worlds.
- Fixed the map jumping around when a menu was opened.
- Selecting the default profile will now attempt to load 1.7.2.
- Adjusted the organization of some menus.
- Added 1.7.2 to official version list.
- AMIDST will now only load the libraries specified by the selected version.
- Added support for biome color profiles. An explanation of this will later be added to the wiki. Until then, please use check the latest forums posts or ask around.
- Basic wiki page added to BitBucket here.
- Mac OS X version now launches with extra memory.
3.4
- Added support for 13w39a/b
- AMIDST now loads all libraries contained in the .minecraft/libraries folder.
- Greatly reduced the file size for AMIDST.
3.3
- Increased performance for filling in image data.
- Slightly reduce memory usage for structure generation.
- Added official support for 13w37b.
- Reduced memory usage from grid layer.
- Increased performance for drawing biome layer.
- Added FPS counter.
- Improved detection of multiplayer maps.
- Major performance improvements for zoomed out maps.
- Added spawn location icon.
- Added option to toggle framerate panel in the menus.
- Added official support for 13w38a/1.6.4.
- (Default) now selects 1.6.4

With the recent forum software upgrade, the title system is a little bit different. For one, any title you unlock will be available for use from that point on. With that in mind, any hidden title you earn will be usable at any point, not just for the specific post count it shows for. That also means that when you get to that specific post count for a hidden title, it will stay beyond that post count, rather than revert back to the previous title. While we could have simply removed the hidden ranks due to the new system, we decided to keep them in place at the same post counts to unlock.
The update to post ranks is finally here! Sorry to take so long on that. It was a bit difficult trying to keep most of them the same, add new ones, and still keep things on a fairly steady title change scale. Oh, and laziness.
First off, Pig Tamer is not the final title anymore! In fact, it's just been flat out removed. It was placed there before because at the time, we only had one person even close to it. Now that so many are passed it, it's not really needed as a placeholder anymore. There are now far more ranks after 5000, and a few minor tweaks to some lower ranks. There's been a few new hidden ranks added as well. For now, we'll wait until people find them before added them to the spoiler'd list.
Regular ranks
(Once you get past the post number mentioned, you have that title until you reach the next number)
1 - Newly Spawned
2 - Out of the Water

First and foremost, I'm a bit worried about anyone feeling like there's a justification to saying we're superior to the rest of the members of the forum. I fully invite anyone feeling this way to PM me with any possible frustrations, or desire to discuss this. Because I feel it's a serious issue that needs personal attention. There is no need for philosophical interjection with this; it really just doesn't apply. In no context are we "better" than anyone else for what we do. A forum grows due to contributing members, just as well as us keeping the peace, so to speak. All of us, on a whole, are equally valuable.
As for this topic itself, the idea of a place for everyone to vent is indeed a good idea. The thread was really meant as a place for us to gather, and share stories of the crazy stuff that we'd seen. But it mostly just became a place for us to hold up members, point to them, and tell everyone to laugh at them. Nothing good comes out of that. As stated already, that creates a sort of justification for everyone to feel like we're better than everyone else. It gives the impression that people should be made fun of first, and helped second. That's not the proper order.
Again, I agree that a sense of camaraderie is needed, and sharing crazy experiences with each other is definitely a part of that. But not at the expense of other members.

First, my avatar. Then, here's some more:

Wolfram wasn't the only one to deal with you, and I can safely say he dealt with matters appropriately. So as citric said, what exactly are you posting this for? If you want your account to be unbanned, you can appeal the ban (which considering how old it is, would have been your best option). Posting this misleading thread is not something that helps your case.

Something to point out, you mentioned citricsquid "daring to insult our intelligence". However, go re-read his posts. There are no insults to be found. Honest input and criticism is not the same thing as an insult. Just as well, you could have insults thrown at you all day long, that is no excuse to throw insults back. And considering that is specifically against the rules here (which you've been warned for many, many times), you can see why someone can see yourself as not mature enough to take part in these discussions.

It's always said "quest".
You must have been seeing things.
We've always been at war with Eastasia.
