oxcraft info for silly nils

So, as you guys know, I've started to develop a client specifically for this server. At the moment, it's in beta, and it's only available for server staff (please don't distribute it!!!!!!!!!!).

Various GUI changes/additions

Optimization fixes (coming soon/in progress)
More to come!


>>>Installation<<<
For now, rename/delete/move your current minecraft.jar that is in .minecraft/bin, put the Oxcraft JAR in .minecraft/bin, and rename it to minecraft.jar (for builds 1-6, you should also delete client's config file).

When this goes public, installation will be more annoying because I'm not supposed to release the entire JAR (terms of using Minecraft Coder Pack). I figure its okay to give it to just you guys for now, but that won't be the case when it goes public.


>>>Configuration<<<
The first time you run an Oxcraft JAR, a file called oxconfig.properties is created in your .minecraft folder. You can open this in Notepad, TextEdit, whatever; it's essentially the same as a TXT file. The config includes brief descriptions of what each of the values means, but here are more detailed explanations of each of the values, as of Build 8:
buildno: the build number this config was made for. DO NOT CHANGE THIS!!! This is here so that the client knows whether or not to update the config. It should NOT be changed manually.

names: a list of usernames to give the custom cloak to. Usernames are case-sensitive in Builds 1-8, but can be names can be partial (i.e. if "ox" is on the list, "oxguy3" gets a cape). The usernames should be separated with commas AND spaces between each (i.e. do "Notch, jeb_", NOT "Notch,jeb_")

cloak_url: the URL for the custom cloak. The layout of your image needs to match the layout used by the images on Mojang's servers, so download this image, draw your cape on top of it, and upload it to an image sharing site.

cmd_prefix: the prefix that denotes an internal command (i.e. if this value is ".", then internal commands will be written ".help"; if this value is "derp", commands will be written "derphelp"). Note that when you are using commands in singleplayer, including this prefix is optional (i.e. ".help" and "help" will work)

macro_up: text to be executed when the up arrow key is pressed. It can be a server command, a chat message, or an internal command

macro_left: same as macro_up, but for the left arrow key

macro_right: same as macro_up, but for the right arrow key

wipe_config: if you add "wipe_config=true" to your config, the client will create oxconfig.properties basically from scratch every time you run the client until you remove "wipe_config=true". This value is not included in the automatically generated config, and I highly recommend you don't add it; it only exists for my benefit in development.


>>>Current Bugs<<<
Creative inventory is very buggy in multiplayer (fixable, but I'm procrastinating lol)
Flying causes console errors online (I'll have to write my own flying code instead of using vanilla flying)
The "Reload Config" button doesn't work (fixed in Build 9)
Arrow key shortcuts don't get saved to the config when you use the commands (fixed in Build 9)
