[list][*] [FEATURE] - Added the Gravity Hull Designator to the server, currently in Beta. This tool allows for local gravity fields, typically within contraptions. It allows anyone to walk around inside of a ship regardless of the angle, as well as objects that will have their own physics within them. This is an option tool, not a required object.
[/*][*] [FIX] - Had to remove the lua in SBEP_Experimental, something inside of it was conflicting with the addon, not sure what. Re-added some crucial stuff in, such as the SBEP Part Assembler, Gigasplosion (What if the BHC's touch?).[/*][/list]

Comments
[*][FORUM] - Changed the "Diaspora" section to "Diaspora: Garry's Mod" to differentiate from our new Minecraft server section.[/*]
[*][MINECRAFT][FEATURE] - Adding a new label to the changelog guidelines to display what's been done to the Minecraft server.[/*]
[*][MINECRAFT][FEATURE] - Added Growbie, a mod that adds functionality to bonemeal. Use it on grass or mossy cobblestone to potentially spread it to adjacent blocks, use on trees to make more leaves.[/*]
[*][MINECRAFT][FEATURE] - Created some rudimentary backup scripts for the worlds and user-data. Currently runs via batch files, so the backup only happens on server quit. Eventually this will be replaced with better systems as we find the technology for it.[/*][/list]
[*][FEATURE][MINECRAFT] - Added a new world to the server: Talon, the Northern Wastes. This map is mostly a continent covered in snow. Eventually it will also be perpetual night, should I figure out how to do that much, making it into the "Hard Mode" area. Right now, it's "Fun in the snow'. If you want to make a portal to this world, you need to follow the below instructions, as it does not work like The Nether:
[list][*]The portal rim is made out of glass except for the bottom-center two blocks, which are filled with water.[/*]
[*]Create a home portal in the main world, then go through the gate near the spawn and make the destination portal in Talon.[/*]
[*]Call an admin over to setup the gates and link them (any admin or moderator that does not know how to do this, contact me).[/*][/list][/*]
[*][MINECRAFT][FEATURE] - Enabled worldname output in chat lines. Talking will now display what world you're in to the rest of the server.[/*]
[*][MINECRAFT][FIX] - Changed all world names to their given names. Instead of "world" and "nether", it is now "Baehr" and "Nether", to complement "Talon" in proper capitalization and an actual name.[/*]
[*][MINECRAFT][FIX] - Redid the backup system to use the new world names and such.[/*][/list]
[*][FEATURE][MINECRAFT] - Added TweakedCycle to the server. Because of this, Talon is now locked into permanent night. If you watch closely, this is done by a scheduler setting the time to midnight once every minute or so, and is noticeable if you stare at the moon, as it snaps back a bit; however, other than that, it seems to look alright. Also, there is an amusing hole in this, where if you sleep in Talon, the time will actually change to day for all of a minute, and then go back to night.[/*]
[*][FIX][MINECRAFT] - Readded Essentials.Spawn and moved the spawnpoint away from player-owned structures, was causing issues without it somehow.[/*]
[*][UPDATE][MINECRAFT} - Updated Essentials.[/*]
[*][FIX][MINECRAFT] - Corrected a silly little typo in the Essentials item ID to Name list, where "Sugarcane" was spelled "Sugercane".[/*][/list]
