Stars disappeared, plus broken commands.

Two things: Did some WOMRealms last fall, and when I left I had 5 stars, 6 with premium, but I just started again yesterday and it seems they've disappeared, I now have 0. I don't see how anyone would know to come spam my realms with dislikes since I never advertised or linked to them. Or does it have something to do with my not logging in for 6+ months and letting the premium go up? At this point it would be easier to just make a new account to start out with the standard star number.

The other thing is that I notice [/replace dirt air] and [/replaceall dirt air] doesn't always work. I reset my realms last night, and I put 6 for level and it's 256W x 128L x 256H and in order to get rid of all the extra dirt I tried using the commands above, making sure to correctly set the points if needed, however it continued to fail to get rid of he top level of dirt and was rather spazzy when trying to use it at a level even with or below the sea level. Eventually I worked around it by copying a large block of air and pasting that into the levels I needed to get rid of.

That brought me to my second discovery that /paste region [direction] doesn't seem to work. Maybe the /replace thing was spazzying out due to poor connection or something but [/paste name east] definately wasn't working. According to http://www.womrealms.com/commands.php I should be able to:

Command: paste

paste a cuboid to a named region

direction: north|south|east|west|cw|ccw|90deg|180deg

or a matrix define eg: zyx (swap z-x, invert x)

/paste MYREGIONAME [DIRECTION]

So after copying a section named 'wall' (/copy wall) I tried using [/paste wall east] and came back with the error that it was an unknown region name. If I did just [/paste wall] it was fine, and if I did [/paste wall 270deg] it was fine, but telling it north, south, east, or west gave back the aforementioned error. Did I miss something or does it just not work?

hmmm

Well I can answer the one about the stars, the system was changed so that when someone likes your realm, over time their like "power" decreases, so if you left it for months, the like power would have gone to 0 for all of the likes and your realm decreased all the way in stars.

Not sure about the pasting and replacing, they have always worked for me. Did you try the paste with the XYZ matrix defining?

Thanks for the reply and

Thanks for the reply and explanation, however wouldn't that set it back to the 4 stars you start with when becoming a new member? In any case I have 4 stars again; I wonder if perhaps it was reporting as 0 because the server was down, or it lost track of me since I was gone so long. Or maybe it was that the people that followed me into my realm last night gave me a lot of likes. :p

I've come to the conclusion that the /replace spazziness -may- have been caused by the server dropping. I noticed last night, when the server was up and down again, that before I was dropped, the upper right corner spammed with "(anonymous) has left" and no commands would work, but I could continue to place blocks normally for quite a while though no changes were saved.
Still though, compass directions wouldn't work when pasting and the server was up. I'm not sure about XYZ as I've never used it, but I can't get it to work atm. I'm using "/paste temp invert x" and "/paste temp swap z-x" then tried variations like "/paste temp zyx invert x" and "/paste temp invertx". Came back with the error "Warning: Unknown region name" but like I said I'm not familiar with this. :)  CW and CCW work though. I can still use /deg though so I'm not terribly fussed, though I release if I could invert z it would be most useful for flipping things upside down.
Thanks again.

Hmmm

Well I'm pretty sure that when you start out as a new member you have a realm with 0 stars, either that or loads of new members have been voted down a lot.

About the rotating pastes, for the XYZ method I think you are supposed to do something like "/paste name Xyz" with the capital one being the direction that you want it to rotate in. I remember the one time that I tried it, it took me a while to get it facing the correct way, but it definitely did end up rotating.

Because you were gone so

Because you were gone so long, the amount of /likes your realm had would have eventually went back to 0. We also did delete some old /like values a while ago which may contribute to your realm being 0 stars.

And the directions after /paste name should all be working fine.
