BetterSpades VS enkiMI

Ace of Spades is one. I usually play with the OpenSpades client[1], but there is also Betterspades[2], and probably many other clients I don't know of yet. There are usually about 10-50 players online on the public servers listed on BuildAndShoot[3], variable depending on the time of day and mostly from Latin America it seems.

One can host the game with piqueserver[4]. I'm not sure if one can still host with the original Ace of Spades server, but the game was 'shut down' in 2019 so maybe not.

Betterspades is a client based alot more on the origional Ace of Spades targeted at low end systems https://github.com/xtreme8000/BetterSpades

At the moment the Minecraft Structure loading code is closed source, but I might take some time to integrate it into enkiMI, my open source permissively licensed lightweight C and C++ Minecraft Importer library which it uses to load and parse the nbt file.

From a technical perspective this update uses fixes from our open source Minecraft import library enkiMI. The chunk loader handling for NBT list types would occasionally skip over the next item after the list, which was usually an unrequired value but sometimes the section y value (height), resulting in missing (due to being overwritten) or misplaced sections. So do pull the latest update if you're using enkiMI.

If you're interested in loading Minecraft data then check out my open source library enkiMI. I handle pre and post flattening loading. Note that I don't think Minecraft's implementation here is the best approach, but it does work. It's likely the internal representation is better.

This issue was in our open source enkiMI Minecraft Importer library, where I was not checking if the location data for chunks was beyond the end of the file. It seems that either these can become corrupted, or that when a chunk is deleted from the end the location isn't updated. Corrupted locations which are inside the file can also occur, but the chunks are compressed and the compression method has a known header so these already fail gracefully. Long term I need to do some fuzz testing of the library.

Software * Blender 3D Creation suite https://www.blender.org * Avoyd https://www.avoyd.com https://www.enkisoftware.com/avoyd#download * Minecraft maps imported using open sourced library enkiMI https://github.com/dougbinks/enkiMI

I see you've also got import support for minecraft (MCA)! your importer looks really great I've just added a task to my Jira: "switch to using https://github.com/dougbinks/enkiMI/ for loading minecraft maps"
