Creative Spheres

[Omnisent]

Spheres are not allowed in Creative for Mockingjays-, and I really want to have them back. I need them in a HG map I'm making and other people would like them too

 

[sgtnickjames]

Many Mockingjays (Jr mods at the time) used spheres, and a large number of world edit commands to crash creative. I don't see Zainos agreeing with this.

I think we should bring it back, if it crashes creative then there should be a limit of how big you can make your sphere.

Yeah, I think that should be the case. Bring back spheres, and see what happens. If it crashes the server, reduce the limit, if that crashes it, than no spheres. Basically a win win.

Yes, I disagree. Sorry Mocking Jay's, but with the limitation of 1,000 and a sphere size of 3 it was still catastrophic. If Zainos does decide to bring back powerful worldedit commands expect major limitation such as, 1-3 radius only, solid blocks only, etc.

I know staff get sphere, doesn't it crash creative too?

No, staff don't use world edit as much as you think. Only 2 staff members are active in creative (Icy and myself) and we do not use /sphere. We use voxel sniper.

Xtrembob (changed name) used to use sphere, he did it for my plot in plots world

 

[imtotallychris]

Yes, but staff do not overdue it. They are educated with commands and if they crash creative they know they have a consequence to pay

Some Mocking Jay donors are not educated properly and may be under-aged and they do random commands. We are not going to take any chances.

I would tend to agree with imtotallychris . Even on my gaming laptop with plenty of ram and processing, a hollow sphere of a solid vanilla block with a maximum radius of five takes forever to load. It must be quite hard for a server, running multiple functions at once, to keep up, especially if two people happen to do it relatively close to the same time.

Lol I didn't know you really cared about this. I'll try to bring them back in a safe way

Really? With World Edit I know there are many commands that can be abused, overused, etc. and I figured the spheres is kinda like making a wall with it. However, if there is a way to reduce the sphere limit to something like 5 or so, I'm sure that wouldn't kill the server.

 

I think it should return. You can just put the setting up to 2.

Also radii (radius plural) of 2-5 aren't big... It makes a sphere 4-10 blocks big (4x4x4 to 10x10x10).
Also I think //hsphere would be better than //sphere . That way there aren't as many blocks being generated, saving a bit more lag

Exactly

Okay, //hsphere is back! With a maximium Radius of 5!
Enjoy!!!

Thanks! Well be careful when you try that

Awesome! I need it for a Majora's Mask map

 

[Zainos]

Sorry I had to remove it again as Creative Server just crashed and lagged really bad due to many people doing //hsphere. Sorry but we won't have it back
