Good to hear qubodup!
The mechanic is quite simple but not very well explained I feel: basically you use the arrow keys in the direction that you want to use an item. E.G, if a tree is on your left you'd select the hatchet and press the left arrow key. Or if an enemy is above you you'd press up with a weapon selected.
The problem is that you have to rewrite your code. Its messy and has way too many globals. The problem is that it is switching to the game phase before its time to do so. I recommend cleaning up your code a lot. Its not clean enough at all. Globasls and having one big file is what is screwing you up. Maybe this weekend I can go through and help clean it up. Well if you want. I'm really limited in time though its senior year and right now i can't graduate lol.

Of course it's messy, some of it is over a year old.
Right now my focus is on pumping out features. Optimization, modularization and cleaning up the code is all to be done in the summer, when I actually have time to get down to the more boring things (hell I'm even renting out a space for a couple guys to come down and work full time on music, web design and optimization). I'm not passing this as a complete project in any sense of the word, so plz don't look at it as such. There's no need to be rude about it.
That's a nice work putting all that things together. I can't agree more, you need to take more care of your code : i tried to rawly connect to your server and it crashed (?) the second time when receiving only a "m," message.
I'm sorry about that by the way, point wasn't here but it's annoying for clients. Have you thought about having some P2P network to handle multi-serving and not being restrain by your own ?
EDIT: accessing your server in a web browser give me full reading of your code, be careful.
Yeah I was transferring some stuff and forgot to remove it. Again, though, this project is FAR from complete. People can have my code if they wish; in its current state it'll be tough doing much with it. A lot of exceptions aren't handled and main.lua is over 900 lines long. Again, it's early development, I'm not trying to make an incredibly beautifully coded thing but a thing that shows the potential of the idea. Don't judge it based on the early, unoptimised, uncleaned code.
when I'm going, some items disappear
the ability to remove walls/floor. In the moment I only can replace them
when you craft with a full inventory, you delete your crafted item
the time you need to do anything is too long
chests, dropping my items on the floor is ... strange
It needs some time until the wall/floor/object you've built/destroyed appears. (waiting for the server I think) You should try to draw them instantly, wait for the request and then allow this action or undo it if it was illegal.
I took a look into your code: you HAVE to clean it up! It's better for you too, because you can find your stuff easier. Split it up into player.lua, world.lua, .. or something like that.
