Skins, etc. are client side. Gameplay mods are server side. As for the update thing, yeah, most servers will probably take a few days to be updated to 1.3.x. I know DS is currently out of date as we speak, because I'm still at work. :)

Are you near New Haven? :D
[I dunno about on anyone else's screen, but with this new forum theme links seem to be nearly the same color as regular text (and no underline). There is a link in the above sentence.]
Good teaching moment. :)
My son is wanting to get into this. He's been watching videos of it on YouTube for the last several days. I guess I'm going to let him get it. Maybe he can put his imagination to work a bit.
Is it pretty easy to get on a server? Is there one that's recommended for younger folks?
*Edit:
Adventure server is still running 1.2.5. I reverted it due to weirdness with the 1.3.1 update and "old maps". We'll see how long it takes to fix this. The glitch happens when leaving a portal. You simply fall through the world until you die, or you suffocate in a wall. :eek:
In the meantime, I have started a 1.3.1 test server on the normal port. That's darksavior.net:25565
I don't know..he's just been playing on some server with two of his schoolmates. It is very creative and I would recommend it. He's already come up with some neat creations and listening to him talk about the process of creating this to have more of this so he can make more of that to build this and that is pretty cool.
Local is a good place to start playing around. If you want to go to a public server, do some reconnaissance first, make sure it's safe for the kids, then add it to the server list in their client. I would totally recommend our Sharky's server, except our map is glitching with the new update. Once it's fixed, you are more than welcome to have them join the server. :) (Let me know their usernames, we run a whitelist to keep out the griefers).
old map is gone? James
It'll be back once the bug is fixed where you die every time you go through a portal, and sometimes when you respawn as well.
i'll send you a pm. I'll have to have a talk with him about griefing though...otherwise he might just go Godzilla and destroy everything LOL.
Yeah, we tried the new server version but found that bug.
To be clear: The old map is running on the normal darksavior.net:25567, same as it has always been, it's just sitting on server version 1.2.5
We have a test 1.3.1 server running now on darksavior.net:25565 to play with while we wait. Don't get attached to it, it doesn't get backed up, and we aren't keeping it. Once 1.3.2 or whatever drops that fixes this bug we'll update the main server and be back in business.
So tl;dr version: To play adventure you have to stay on 1.2.5. If you want to mess with 1.3.1, we have a test server for that.
