I'm kind of curious about the versioning for AMIDST. The release page lists 3.7 as being the latest release and that it was released in Sept 2014. But the change log seems to indicate that some updates have been made since then. Is the 3.7 I downloaded back in October the same as the 3.7 I downloaded today?
Yes. Unfortunately I still don't have much time to actually update things. Between moving and work, it's been a bit hectic lately. Needless to say, I want to put out an update, but whether I find the time to is another thing altogether.
I'm not actually sure why GitHub is saying those changes apply to 3.7.
I've tried on mac, the .zip says it's a damaged file and I can't open it, and the .jar crashes when I try and load the map. I've used amidst before and it's never done this?
p.s. I'm kinda new to modding and all that sort of stuff so I don't really know how I should go about getting this working. Any help would be appreciated!
Yeah, I was a bit worried about the Mac version doing that. I'll have to go get out my Mac laptop again and rebuild the .app for it. No worries, for now you should be able to run it by running the jar with more memory.
Looks like it works, although it doesn't read my MC version correctly. I'm using 1.8 and it reads it as 1.7.4
I'm hoping you'll be able to add Ocean Monuments soon.
Anyway, thanks for updating!
I'll definitely try. I just wanted to get an update out for 1.8 as soon as I could. Ocean Monuments may be "v3.7a" or something. (Also, it should read your version-- so perhaps its not loading the right one)
I'm not entirely sure I correctly formed the Mac app, so once someone can confirm it works, I'll update the OP.
But this should work with 1.8!
(Also, I haven't had a chance to keep track of Minecraft's changes-- if there's inaccuracies with structures, or even a new structure, please let me know!)
Oh, it's finally out! I'll definitely try to get an update out.
Also, I read something about someone's save being destroyed? Keep in mind that AMIDST makes a backup of the save before doing any actions, and that it only edits the world settings file.
And finally, for those wondering why development slowed so much, I ended up getting a job working full time for Re-Logic. (On Terraria among other things)
Sorry If I am the annoying one antecipating stuff. Are you going to update it to snapshot 14w25a so it can find Water Dungeons or you will wait ulti 1.8 is released?
Well, I mean if you're really impatient you could download the JDK, Eclipse, and clone the Git repo. It's pretty functional right now.
A really good program, very well made and functional. On GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 Unity 64bit) I have not found important problems; even if it crashes when I select a profile snapshot. I hope it continues to work, it's a great open source project!
I just fixed that-- but I still need to add support for those custom world parameters, and then I'll release an updated beta (or possibly version?)
Edit
(Still needs support for things like no villages)

I'm going to assume that is humor. R! R! R! (Gratuitous Mork reference)
I'm running a Quad processor 2.5 Ghz AMD system with 8GB and integrated AMD graphics and have NO problem running Amidst 3.7beta1 with a Minecraft v1.7.5 profile.
Actually it's a copy of version 1.7.5 that's been modded with MCPatcher to fix the graphics but that's all.
Yeah, a 780 Ti is like $600 right now, it's one of the top video cards you can buy at the moment.
I always get crush. First i tried on a snapshot, but since it is not oficially supported i also tried 1.7.4 and same. Happens both when you enter seed or open a worldsave. I didnt try random but i assume it is same.
My specs (if it matters):
win7 x64
16 gb 1600 mhz ram
i7 4770k
Gtx 780 ti
latest java x64
Ah, there's your issue. You need to upgrade your GPU. AMIDST requires at least a Titan-Z to power it.
I have a quick question. Is there some option I need to check to have Amidst keep track of my character's position in the world?
Right now, I'm just clicking on file > new > from files or folder --then choosing my world's name from the box that pops up each time I want to refresh my position in Amidst's map.
I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just missing, if this option is, in fact, available.
Thanks for your time and this great tool!
It is currently not a feature that's available. It's definitely something I want to do in the future though.
Just a FYI.
It's known that Amidst 3.7b1 does not work with a PCMCv1.6.4 profile for some reason.
If you wish to use a version 1.6.4 profile use Amidst 3.6.
I have had both versions of Amidst running on my machine simultaneously quite often in the last few weeks.
But I spend a lot of time checking out seeds posted in the PCMC Seeds forum.
Interestingly enough, I fixed this bug, but never had a chance to release it. I think I might try to go through and do bug fixes today/this week.
THAT is VERY interesting!!!! http://chunkbase.com...ineshaft-finder
Some one has delved into the inner workings of the Minecraft world generator even farther than Skidoodle has.
I'm quite impressed.
Thanks for the link.
OBTW - FYI there other MC finder apps there also.
Last time I gave that an attempt it looked like they were popping up everywhere. I just assumed I did something wrong... perhaps it's possible after all. I'll definitely have to look into that. It's something that AMIDST could really use.
OBTW: Amidst does a pretty good job indicating jungle temples. The same icon is used for both jungle temples and desert temples.
Oh, just so you know, I tried to move that wiki over to GitHub. I think it ended up going well, but you'd have to double check. The only thing that I remember giving me trouble was the lack of a "Table Of Contents" tag.
Sorry about the updates/replies slowing down everyone. I just recently started working full time, still trying to make room for AMIDST in my free time.
But don't worry, I'll do my best to keep the updates coming!

Try using the beta that's listed on GitHub.
I'll try to get an update out when I have a chance.

Interestingly enough, memory usage and bug fixes is my next goal at the moment! How much RAM do you have?
