lol, I made an image of the tiny world and when I saw its current state I just had to post it:
I also have a new version of my mod. It fixes the max players server crash and adds chat and sign editing enhancements including scrollback for chat (with keyboard, using up/down, page up/down, home/end), canceling text input with the escape key, and changing the text insertion point with left/right.

Let me show you how to hump without making love.
Terraria is soon expecting another large update. Not only there will be many fixes and tweaks to existing mechanics, but there will also be a few new features added to the game.
We're not going to spoil it for you, but lets just say a new boss, new mobs, and even new items are on the way!
There will also now be a server crash log. This should help find the cause of any crashes that may happen, and help hosters make an even more stable server and client environment.
Expected release date is Friday.
None.
http://www.mediafire.com/?2vaj8fqa4gbmrAll previous mods I've mentioned are included, plus these changes:
One thing this does is it fixes the water candle effect to apply to the correct item, instead of band of regeneration. If I'm interpreting things correctly, (with the item ID fix) it only applies when you have the water candle selected (holding it out) and it stacks if multiple players are holding out their water candles. Other than in single player, the effect might only be calculated server-side.
While looking at this, I discovered values called defaultSpawnRate and defaultMaxSpawns, which affect the time between spawns and the maximum number that can spawned until it stops spawning. (I'm not the first to see this, of course) I've added server commands to change these (spawnrate and maxspawns). Minimum value for spawn rate is 0, meaning they will just spawn constantly. Max spawns can be 0 to spawn none or up to some number probably less than 1000, since max NPCs is 1000. (not sure what will happen if all the NPC slots get filled)
I've also added beforedawn and beforedusk commands for if you want it to trigger the things that normally happen when changing from night to day or day to night, unlike the dawn and dusk commands that don't trigger those. Note that when normally passing into day, it saves the world file, so you might not want to trigger that too fast (though the game might already have something to keep bad things from happening).
None.
I was in a server where it constantly spawned zombies.. and the land was completely flat
None.
It was actually easier, in a way. So many things to destroy that I was getting lots of hearts, and there is a limit to how quickly you can be hit, plus I had my Cobalt Shield on. I didn't even need to go back up for a breath.
None.
Hell is completely underwater.

If you don't like it, then it must be hell.
Here are a couple of images to make up for it.
NPC Properties dialog template.
Time needed to load the largest size (93 MB) world. (Tiles processed into its own unique array)
Proof showing the reading of the entire file was successful. (You can't read chests/signs/npcs unless you process the tiles correctly, because the format is linear you can only go one way and can't jump to a specific section)

Heinermann, did you ever figure out what the smallest viable worldsize is? I know it doesn't crash all the time, but there must be some kind of requirements the generator needs or goes by.

For the generator I was only able to go to 750x564, and if either dimension was smaller it would either freeze or crash. It will occasionally freeze, but it will create a world with an underwater dungeon.
For a custom world I think the screen size is the limit.
Is there somewhere where I can see a list of updates and fixes on the game? I haven't had time to play for a while and want to know how the game has changed since I stopped.
None.

I think I know why our jungle farm isn't spawning anything
The enemies only spawn @ open spaces.. and since the jungle vines cover everything, we don't get any.
See, when I weeded out the vines, tons of hornets started spawning.. I even got a man eater
None.
Call me vain
b/c i'm gonna get as many vanity items as possible

Microtransactions, here we come!
