Weird question, but

[Catching_Fire]

Whats the framework of Lava? (3.5? 4.0?) Im making custom commands that require C# 2010 Visual Studio and i need the framework..

Not a weird question at all, Dzienny mentioned in one of his changelogs that he moved MCDzienny to 4.0. If I may ask, what sort of a command are you working on?

Some pretty usefull ones, a lot of them that reads .txt files, and moderation tools.

Ah, sweet. Could you share them?
Oh and, you seem to be very proficient in C# so Imma ask you a question.
I'm finally finished wrapping up my zombie survival, however, I'm missing one feature I wanted to add, which are levels. I've checked the code so I could copy and paste from somewhere else, but I didn't find anything. Disassembling MCDzienny proved to be not so effective, so I cant steal from it. Any ideas on how I could make an effective level system? The idea I have in mind is making a method read .txt files, XML coding, the same as Dzienny used for his levels. I'm kinda stuck on how to make that though. Any tips?

Ah ehm, sorry mate, I didn't make myself clear enough. I meant the levels, the tiers.. the thing that grants you more water and such at the start of the map.
This:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<!--You can add as many tiers as you wish, but minimum number is 10. Also tier 1 always requires 0 experience.-->

<Levels>
<Level level="1" experience="0" water="0" hammer="0" door="0" sponge="0" />
<Level level="2" experience="500" water="0" hammer="0" door="0" sponge="0" />
<Level level="3" experience="1300" water="0" hammer="0" door="0" sponge="0" />
so on and so forth...
</Levels>

I got everything else to work properly, just those tiers/levels are giving me a headache :\

[Catching_Fire]

ooo.

I don't know, I stoped using the software long ago because the bugs are to severe.

[g0d01w4r99]

Oh okay

[Catching_Fire]

But i do say, You might wanna use MCForge when it comes to Zombie Survival.

[g0d01w4r99]

Ah yeah, I noticed they finished the Infection type zombie survival too. And it seems they're doing spleef and lava too. Pfft. This makes MCDzienny useless :\. But I doubt they'll do levels and such so MCDzienny is still better when it comes to lava survival IMO.
