Sorry for the quick restart, but we had to fix some balancing issues that came up.

In addition, the first update had a problem that did not occur during testing, and you may need to update again. Sorry for the trouble.

The ComputerCraft FTP server has been switched over to the new server, as well as the online code editor.

One of the last updates unfortunately broke the client, but a new update has been pushed to resolve the problem. I found the underlying cause for the LWJGL troubles and now Mac OS X and Linux support should now be fixed.

In addition, the update:
  • Restored Advanced Solar Panels.
  • Fixed emoticons so they no longer appear as random characters.
  • Fixed not being set your home location during the day.

Thank you for the patience.

Sorry, but the Advanced Solars Mod had to be removed as it a severe server breaking bug.

We'll see if we can put in a replacement or update.

Unfortunately all railcraft blocks have been disabled due to forgetting to add a meta value when disabling world anchors. While this issue has been rectified we will have to wait for sk to push another client update.

But we apologies for the inconvenience.

-edit-
A client update has been pushed and the issues have been fixed (hopefully).

An Alice update was pushed that may have broken your game. Please try again, as we believe it is fixed now.

Linux and Mac OS X users: Please report whether you are having success or trouble, if possible.

The Alice 1.5 update is live!
  • Make sure that you have a recent version of the launcher.
  • Just connect to Alice like the usual and you should update.
  • The server address is the same, but if it doesn't work, use alice-15.sk89q.com

NOTE:There appears to be a problem for Linux users that prevents the game from launching correctly. We're looking into it.

To access Alice 1.4:

Alice 1.4 is back up!

Alice 1.5 is still being prepared, but we expect it to be up in 1-2 hours.

Join us on the TeamSpeak server!

Alice is currently having problems, but I will look into it once 1.5 is launched.

UPDATE from Pathaleon: The datacenter where the server is located is currently experiencing networking issues, these are unknown to us but they are actively working to correct these problems. Until then you can either keep trying or just wait for the green light from us.

Again this is nothing to do with 1.5 and is actually rather disappointing for us too because this means launching the 1.5 server may also be problematic.

Sorry for the inconvenience :(

UPDATE 2 from Pathaleon: The datacenter has told us that the network issues are partially resolved but there is still the possibility of unstable latency (lag spikes).

Here's what happening with the next version of Alice:
  • Alice 1.5 (later to be 1.6) will be run on a separate server.
  • Alice 1.4 will continue as normal.
  • There will no item or build transfers. It will essentially be a full reset.
  • We are aiming to open the server tomorrow (or at worst, the day afterwards), Pacific Daylight Time (UTC -0700).
  • When we can, we will update Alice 1.5 to 1.6
  • We have no plans to update Alice 1.4 to 1.5.
  • You will start with beginner items as you did on 1.4.
