^^added you to builder list

Restarted the server. If there was any lag that should take care of it.

10/2/2010 2:11:51 AM

Haha, sorry the map is weird guys, I walked out there on an adventure of exploration when I was drunk.

10/2/2010 2:55:29 AM

Server IP for the new page: 69.162.71.207

I wonder if it was the server last night or my connection that was causing the problems.

10/2/2010 11:24:09 AM

wow looking at our map everything looks so close together.

10/2/2010 11:59:03 AM

v2 coming along nicely....

10/2/2010 12:43:55 PM

Ok, apparently Im on the whitelist so I can log into the server, but I can't mine anything. The block disappears and instantly reappears. Can I also have permission to mine/craft things.

Thanks!

10/3/2010 11:00:49 AM

Could I get added to the whitelist?

I'm looking for build ideas. My Orthanc tower idea was a bust because it was too tall. I already ripped off Falling Water. I build a boat dock. What should I build next?

10/4/2010 12:51:37 AM

Why not dig down and clear out enough headroom for the tower? It's not taller than the ceiling is from the actual bottom is it? How far down from the surface would you have to go?

10/4/2010 12:57:29 AM

made a symlink in my dropbox folder to my .minecraft folder

ended up deleting my save when i tried to open it on another computer

and just like that, i'm done with minecraft

10/4/2010 8:21:42 AM

^Download and run NTFS undelete:

If this just happened you are extremely like to be able to recover whatever files you deleted

I've toyed around with the free minecraft online and I've loved it. Think I'll get the full version tonight.

10/4/2010 2:56:42 PM

How do you make colored blocks?

10/4/2010 3:27:52 PM

^Creative mode.

Halloween update will prevent me from actually doing anything.

10/4/2010 3:50:34 PM

Hopefully they update the graphics card compatibility soon

10/4/2010 4:27:43 PM

You will be able to make colored blocks in the future, as well. Craftable dyes.

10/4/2010 6:20:26 PM

just went exploring after not being around on the server. you guys are nuts.

10/4/2010 8:20:34 PM

Server has been pretty dead the past few days. I'm working on a new map right now with prearranged roads and such, hopefully to influence people to undertake collaborative projects. I'm of the opinion that most people have done about what they are going to do ok the current map. Give me some feedback.

Also, anyone not yet on the whitelist will be added this afternoon. Sorry for the delay.

10/5/2010 12:50:11 PM

We need an organized build

Like a town or some shit

Everyone build your own tower is just chaos

10/5/2010 12:51:17 PM

^yeah that's what I've been saying for a while.

Like I said we have a new map that we are working on atm. Going to have roads set up, blocks, etc. Also going to try to ban mining underneath the town itself. I'm hoping the update implements minecarts in some fashion. It would be cool to have some sort of train system for reaching outside areas.

Maybe multiple towns run by different players? Have the main area be a collaborative city build of some sort? I dunno, I just think there are better things to do in multiplayer environments than a free-for-all tower fest. Especially when some people have the advantage of spawning their materials and others don't.

10/5/2010 1:18:04 PM

I don't care what you build (save maybe a 16 bit ALU), if you didn't mine the materials yourself, it doesn't count.

10/5/2010 1:21:21 PM

^^I'm cool for some kind of town-city layout. The Admins and us Ops could arrange something where we have a main "city" and then little townships around it, and the "city" is for collaborative building projects and utilities, while the "towns" are like living quarters and amusement--so people can build their houses in these little townships.

Each town could by run by an Admin or OP, and then all Admins and OPs work together on keeping the city in line. Admins and Ops can spawn materials for PUBLIC UTILITIES that are necessary for the structure we decide, but we would agree to not spawn materials for building our private houses and buildings and such.

Seems like that would be more organized and pretty cool.

10/5/2010 1:54:37 PM

^Yeah. I was viewing it as sort of middle ages system. You have the center of the 'empire' and each person has their own land. That way people aren't stacked on top of each other.


As for materials, I would like it totally legit. We can have a community mine to use just for the central projects. We are looking to have a rewards system for unobtainable items. For helping with community projects, you get x stacks of cloth, obsidian, etc. I think obsidian is fine for community efforts, but I'd like to limit its use. It's a pain to get rid of if necessary. Personally mined obsidian would be fair game of course; I think the difficulty to mine it is limiting enough in that regard.

10/5/2010 2:26:56 PM

What about challenges? e.g. Who can build the coolest structure in a volume less than 100 blocks?

10/5/2010 3:00:02 PM

^^The only reason I don't care about spawning materials for community stuff right now is that Multiplayer isn't fully functional yet. Once we get functional multiplayer with monsters, it wouldn't be any fun to have it anything but get-it-yourself-goddamn.

However, I don't know how the game works for Admins--is it like other games where, when you set permissions (like OP or Admin) you can give them different "items?" Like most games will have Admins and OPs get "better standard stuff" (like, in minecraft, they'd start with a diamond pick) and then Official Members would have a certain level (Iron or something) et cetera. Is that possible?

Also, it would be hilarious if we had a ruling system like you kinda mentioned. The Admins and OPs could have a court in the city, and a gathering hall for all the "citizens", then each of us would have a fief, and members are randomly assigned to fiefs (which would just basically be open town zones) and an admin or OP is responsible for keeping things structured.

That would also make us people with build/resource access less of a "competitor" and more like moderators. We make sure it looks like a town (connect people's houses) and we're responsible for the people that build there instead of just doing our own thing, et cetera.

^I mean we can do stuff like that, but it's not really an immediate concern for near-future planning.

Found the bottom of the map and fell into oblivion by accident

Not sure if I lost everything on me or not. Probably did.

10/5/2010 10:22:33 PM

Yay, someone liked my angry stone pig!

10/6/2010 11:48:50 AM

soooooooo when is the proposed new map switch supposed to happen? guess I should stop construction on my current project if it is just going to disappear soon

10/6/2010 3:26:08 PM

Generating blocks sucks as far as epicness is concerned. Dig that shit outta the ground, then build something and its fucking awesome.

10/6/2010 5:05:43 PM

There a reason why we have to switch maps? Is there a way to change to spawn point so we just start anew with version 2.0 somewhere else on the map? Or does it get laggier the larger the map?

10/6/2010 5:27:15 PM

This reminded me of Minecraft:

10/7/2010 9:20:33 PM

seriously.

10/7/2010 9:26:24 PM

Personally not in favor of switching maps. I think what we have done is cool

10/7/2010 10:57:20 PM

Are we gonna get crackin on this new map or what

10/7/2010 11:06:18 PM

^^I do too, but it's Saturnine's server, and he apparently is quite in favor of minimalism for some reason.

10/7/2010 11:34:40 PM

How exactly do you set up your own server anyway? I've about talked a buddy into playing and we were trying to figure out how to get started with multiplayer..

I still don't even know what this whitelist stuff is.

10/8/2010 12:32:47 AM

^I mean, if you don't know what a whitelist is, setting up a server might be hard for you.

Still, if you want to try, there's detailed guides about it on the Minecraft forums at http://www.worldofminecraft.com

10/8/2010 1:35:49 AM

yo add me to dat whitelist:
croooooow

10/8/2010 8:19:26 AM

^^^ really all you need is the server.exe from minecraft.net, run that, and connect to 127.0.0.1. your friend will need to connect to your external IP (assuming he's not on your LAN) and if that's the case you may need to setup some port forwarding on your router.

after that you can tweak the security to either limit access to people that you have listed in a text file (whitelist) or some other method (blacklist).

also there are some good server mods to check out (at least until the new update comes out and breaks them all):

i think it's lame to spawn anything at all. why not let it all be mined?

10/9/2010 1:06:15 AM

Mostly I only ever spawned bricks to make the pathways (as did ttt50x and Saturn obviously), because that's the only way we could get them.

Everyone OP/admin spawned for some building purposes (some more than others) though. I built my biosphere before I ever even realized I could spawn anything.

When SMP is fixed, and especially if we restart map, we wouldn't. I can't speak for the rest of them (though I know how saturn feels), but if the gameplay is fixed and we start out with an idea of what we want to do, then of course it's more fun to do it by hand. Currently, though, that's not the case, which is pretty immediately obvious once you start wandering away from the spawn.
