The wasteland is a cruel mistress. Every day the sun bakes the dunes hotter than a blacksmith's forge. Every night the moon hangs in a frigid sky, cold as a miser's heart. But I endure.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/2-1.png

My home is a modest one, built into the ruins of a trading outpost from older days, when the desert was still green and plentiful.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/3-1.png

Within its walls are all the resources I need to survive. Sweet water, fresh food, and a forge for basic repairs.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/4-1.png

There used to be many like myself here, before they were claimed by Azrael. Sometimes it was old age, or disease, or mishap. Most often it was the desert.

But this land was not always so cruel. Many ages ago, it was lush and green, and within its borders there nestled a mighty empire. Its cities gleamed with bright towers and glittering spires, and its rulers grew rich on the bounty of the land and the tribute of their neighbors. But the luxuries of the flesh led to rot of the soul. The nobles grew fat and drunk while their subjects wasted in the streets.

Into this empire was born a mage, gifted with great powers and a greater lust for destruction. His machinations would serve to cast what remained of the empire into oblivion. The rest of the world would have quickly followed had he not been defeated by a desperate band of heroes, the last survivors of the old kingdom. But that was not all. Long after the last breath of life had passed his lips, his corruption lingered in the earth, draining it of all life save for the monsters who still lurk among the dunes.

The stories tell that should his resting place be disturbed, the mage will rise again and wreak untold destruction on the world of man. Nowadays, most scoff at these tales and dismiss them as superstition. But not me. For a thousand years my kin have guarded this desert, culling its beasts and shepherding travelers to safer lands. And for a thousand years, there has been peace.

But now...

I fear that this time I have failed.

[Kerensky287]

Hahaha, that's great.

...Where'd this come out of? Do you plan to continue?

(Sorry I haven't been on in a while, that might change though, Verifiedz is staying at my house for the next 2 weeks or so and we might head onto the server to kill time. It's awesome that the multi-world plugin is getting back into action, thanks a ton for being great at staying on top of this stuff, Fifth!)

[Fifthfiend]

ALL RIGHT EVERYBODY

As stated the Multiworld IS BAKCK

Brought back INTO ATTUNEMENT WITH THE MULTIVERSE are

-Terra
-Arcanos
-INFERNUM
-and the all new Necromunda, a world of weird sights and ancient terrors

[Aldurin]

Shy, you have just started the beginning of the Fifthcraft LP. I will continue this even if you won't.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Oh, I'll do more once I think of it. We could get a whole mythology goin' up in this business.

[Fifthfiend]

New map of Terra:

Haha, thanks man. I'm glad people continue to enjoy this thing I am doin' here.

Even if it would be nice if they would stop enjoying it by building shit all over what are meant to be junkworlds!!!!

YESSSSSSSS

[Fifthfiend]

A NOTE ABOUT PORTALS

Decided to go back to only ops bein' able to create portals. It seemed like portals were gonna become the like common mode of intraworld transport and I didn't really think that was a good thing to have happen.

IF YOU GOT A PORTAL YOU WANT TO PORTAL SOMEWHERES, let an admin know where you're putting up a portal marker and have 'em come do THE ANSCIENT MAGICKCKS that open a DOOR THROUGH THE DIMENSCIONS.

Portals should GENERALLY be used for inter-world travel, like arcanos - necromunda - terra etc, but intraworld, ie terra->terra transit, may also be okayed probably on a case by case basis.

[Fifthfiend]

[Kerensky287]

Holy shit. Sarda has taken over Creative World.

[Fifthfiend]

You don't know the half of it!

EDIT: assuming I've done everything right, on Elysium, use /i [itemid] [amount] to give yourself stuffz.

Should (currently) be limited to no more than 64 of something at a time.

[Aldurin]

/sethome and /home don't work on Elysia. Also the suicide room needs a giant creeper face.

[Flarecobra]

So apperentally we don't have the time permission anymore... Too much abuse?

[Doc ock rokc]

~YAY CREATIVE WORLD!~

Also In arch I ahve set up a monster farmer that is open to anyone
as long as they can stand the perminate creeper bodies
...
also I tore down my fighter and I am going to do a better version else ware.

[Fifthfiend]

It's been switched off for monsterworlds (this was always planned to occur) but should still be active on Terra/Elysium.

[ASlimeDrawsNear]

Just wondering, how did you connect all these worlds?

[Pip Boy]

There are portals between them located near the spawn. Simply walk between the two pillars that most seem to suit your fancy, and you'll be taken someplace craaaaazy

Also, I've opened a new mine in Arcanum. Its pretty close to the spawn, just head up into the mountain. The door is in the corner, and there is a portal just inside, which is now defunct. The portal now serves as a fancy arched entryway for my main mineshaft. Since its pretty close to the spawn and there appear to be quite plentiful caches of ore and things, anyone wanting to get some iron, daimond, whatever can just hop down in there and grab whatever they need. Even the stuff in the chests is fair game except for the iron and diamond.

No, I mean the plugin. If it is one. I can't seem to find it using Google. Is it craftbukkit? I'm not whitelisted for this server anyway.

[Fifthfiend]

The server uses the Craftbukkit minecraft server modification along with a suite of plugins, Multiverse being the plugin we use to enable multiple worlds.

If you'd like to be whitelisted let me know your minecraft name, although I don't think whitelisting is currently turned on in any case.

I might not come on there, but my name is parkermcg. I've been setting up a server of my own, and was looking for the multiworld plugin. Thanks!

[Pip Boy]

This user would like to announce that its base in the mountain near the spawn in Arcanum is now off-limits because of the dangerous skeletons and things lurking below in the dark. Absolutely nothing special or unusual is in those tunnels, and its closure is a mundane matter of public safety. Trespassers will be killed on sight.

[Aldurin]

Nether spawn point and the nether exit portal are NOT in the same place. Typing /spawn will strand you in the middle of hell. I am there and there is a bunch of red mushrooms.

Also I need a teleport from Fifth next time he's on.

Sorry should have said this m'self, I couldn't get the exit portal up at spawn due to being fucked to death by Ghasts. I'll edit the map so the spawn's where I ended up putting the portal.

edit: EARL things have been fixed-ish. /spawn should get you back to the portal whenever you are next on.

[BitVyper]

/Spawn should put you right behind the portal now. If it doesn't, try digging down as it sometimes puts you at a higher coordinate.

Dying will not take you to the same place.

[Pip Boy]

This user has decided to demonstrate its trustworthiness to you all by doing helpful things for its fellow users. It has risked its life by using the /spawn command in this dangerous area, and determined that you can move from here to the place where the portal is located by moving a short distance away along a path that is illuminated by a trail of fire that ends in a torch. It hopes that this information is useful to its fellow user who was lost in the Nether.

[Aldurin]

/spawn command is close enough (as in warped me into the ground below the portal that I can only jump out half of the time, I'll dig a hole to fix this.

Also, does the teleport command behind /spawn consider altitude?

[BitVyper]

It's unreliable, it seems. I had it so that 100% of my tries were putting me right behind the portal.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Fifth, are you the one who's building that adminium square out next to my base on Necromundo? If so, what's it going to be?

[Fifthfiend]

Nah man I don't know shit about that. Probably vips.

EDIT

He says he hasn't got anything to do with it either.

POTENTIAL THINGS:

1. weird game glitch

2. someone has found a way to sneak shit out of Elysium.

3. I did start something out of adminium and forgot about it

4. I died somewhere while I was doing something with admin rock and someone came along subsequently and picked it up / made something out of it?

5. ?????

I really hope it's not 2. because it would be pretty shitty of someone to have found something like that and took advantage of it instead of tellin me. If it's 4 that en't so bad since it ain't like serverwrecking or anything.

[Flarecobra]

Was something being done with the server? It just kicked me, Shy, and Doc off suddonly.

[Fifthfiend]

Could be my hosting company bringing things down to change some scripts and things.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

From the Journal of Wellington C. Picklebottoms the Third, Chairman of the Royal Archaeological Society,

Splendid news! Our expedition to the western desert has uncovered what looks to be a nobleman's tomb dating to the Fifth Dynasty. Coming on the heels of last week's discovery of an ancient effigy (perhaps one of the lost pharaohs themselves), it is the hope of this expedition that the excavation of the tomb will provide a great deal of insight into the Empire's understanding of the civilizations that once flourished here, and an even greater deal of wealth into Her Majesty's coffers. I have enclosed a photograph of the site in question as of the current excavation. The entry shaft appears to descend some meters below the dunes; we hope to have shaft fully cleaned of debris by next sunup, with the exploration of the tomb proper commencing afterwards, barring any unfortunate accidents; we've already lost several diggers to spiders and one of the locals has taken to ransacking our equipment in the night, yammering on about forgotten evils and desert curses. If you ask me, the poor devil's been in the sun for too long.

Yours faithfully,

W. C. Picklebottoms III, Esq.

Fools! The gold fever of these so-called "men of science" will doom us all! I've done everything in my power to drive them off, yet they blunder onward, oblivious to the gathering doom. Even now, they force their way deeper and deeper into the tomb.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/8-1.png

I reminded them of the old stories. They ignored me.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/9-1.png

They beheld ancient symbols of doom and desolation. They ignored them.

And with every dusty footstep, every new inch of ground covered...

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/11-1.png

They come closer to reaping the fruits of their ignorance.

[Arhra]

Welp decided to get back to buildin' stuff now I've got more time.

So I decided to mine some more obsidian.

Except stupid lava/lag glitches have cost me almost a full stack of obsidian and two sets of diamond tools.

RARGH, HATE YOU MINECRAFT

[Fifthfiend]

Were these sudden/unexpected spikes of lag or part of an ongoing pattern?

[Aldurin]

Will /home and /sethome be allowed for the Terra, Necromunda and the other worlds? Or does it warp across worlds making it a creative-only thing?

[Fifthfiend]

Probably eventually on Ely, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe on Terra, almost certainly never on Necrocanos.

Basically my feeling is that because there's no plugin I've found that puts a limit on the use of /sethome it kind of kills whatever degree of danger is meant to be present on a given world since you can just put /sethome any convenient location and port back there whenever the going gets tough (conversely I don't mind /spawn because it takes you back to one predetermined location).

I could maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe see enabling it on Terra since I don't know if being that EARN YA SHIT about things really fits the mood of the world / if people wanna PLAY HARD FORR REALZ they can always hang out on Arcamunda but def. not on Arc/Necro cause if you don't wanna PLAY HARD FORR REALZ you can hang out on flouncy fluffy sissy-babbies worlds Terra and Ely.

If I could find a plugin that let you hit /sethome like... once a day/week or something then maybe for them too.

[Aldurin]

I'm ok with Terra and Elysium getting the command since the pet-project maps are getting rather large (and that's shitloads of iron to make a Terra travel system). If you can't find a plugin that handles the command on a world-by-world basis, then at least two or three same-world-travel portals to main areas would be nice.

[Arhra]

Were these sudden/unexpected spikes of lag or part of an ongoing pattern?

No, just a little sporadic. First time I fell through a block because it did that reappear-disappear thing and I got stuck in the lava.

Second time was just the fluid physics being glitchy. There was a tile of lava that wasn't going away even though all the sources were gone and the water I'd put down for my protection pushed me onto it even though it should have just gone onto it and gotten rid of it.

[Flarecobra]

To whoever put that gold Ore and tracks on my ruined tower in Ely, sorry but that had to go. I had work to do on that. And in the surrounding area.

[Kerensky287]

Nah man I don't know shit about that. Probably vips.

Don't tell Verifiedz I said this but GUESS WHAT I JUST FOUND OUT TONIGHT!

"Hey [Kerensky]! You're on Minecraft? Come to the monster world, check out what I built, it was so funny because Fifth made me die so I killed him and took all his bedrock! Oh wait where's the bedrock thing I made, that's disappointing, oh well."

Since it's apparently gone (or he couldn't find it, I'm not sure which) I guess it didn't turn out too bad, but I apologize for that on his behalf. He seemed really sorry once I told him about how you can't actually remove it by normal means, and he begged me not to mention it to anyone.

So naturally I've gotta ask you guys not to tell him I told you he told me.


Also Flare I think the thing you removed was Ver's as well, he complained about how there was this big square thing where his "awesome tower" was a minute before. But I mean if you're doing all the sprites, I think it's a totally worthwhile trade.

[Fifthfiend]

Hahaha your brother is the best. Yeah like I said, in the case of someone having just picked up some junk I was carrying around it's not a huge deal, I have admin tools that can clear bedrock (NOTE: tools which, used incautiously, might well DROP ME THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF REALITY ITSELF), that is totally like, not even a thing a person needs to feel bad about confessing or anything.

The main thing I was worried about is like I said, the prospect of some kind of hole in the worlds/permissions arrangement that would let people freely bring stuff from Ely through to Terra, cause that would just get super-dumb super-fast ALSO because I spent like six hours last Saturday setting all that up and getting it to work right.

Anyway thanks for letting me know, I am glad that the MYSTERY OF THE MISPLACED ADMINIUM has been resolved. I will KEEP THE SECRET but like as far as I'm concerned there's no hard feelings or anything so like if you wanna man just let him know you told me and I said it was fine, I don't want him to be worrying about it or anything.

[Flarecobra]

No, it wasn't. It was Fifth's tracks, we've already talked about it.

And Doc made the sprites. I made the mossy-cobble ruins, and was going to make something on that little shoreline before Ver made that arena place thing. And there was no tower where I made that arena.

[Fifthfiend]

HEY PIP BOY the last time I saw you try to log on you were getting kicked off due to a server error similar to one Vyper was getting. I HAVE NOT SEEN YOU TRY TO LOG ON SINCE. If you are still having problems getting on then let me know!

[Pip Boy]

Actually, the last time I was on I ragequit because I got all my best stuffs together for a trip into the nether, then accidentally walked through the wrong portal. This portal being the one that makes you die and lose all your stuff to get back. Haven't been on since then because I've been busy, what with finals being so close and all that.

[Flarecobra]

Question: Who made that big tree next to where I was making the town?

[Fifthfiend]

Pips - get on when me or vips is on we'll get you your stuff back

everyone in general - AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED health-regen does not work on Elysium, it does not seem like there is a built-in way to turn that on for non-main worlds.

HOW EVER

I am lookin' at plugins to either re-enable this or just switch of health for Ely altogether

First one I tried didn't work the way I wanted but http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-godmode-v0-2-0-a-simple-permissions-optional-godmode-531.6218/page-2 sounds pretty promising so that'll probably be up soon-ish.

[Doc ock rokc]

There is little need when YOU CAN SUMMON GOLDEN APPLES WHENEVER YOU NEED

also will take sprite requests on two conditions
The sprite must be 8 bit ish or at least with reasonable collors
if you want a 32 bit sprite You will have to find the open area big enough to LAY IT DOWN as it WONT FIT STANDING UP. I tried. 16 bits can stand up (rather tall) but are hard to color.

Also check the Reference for the sprite If it has color bleed it makes it incredibly hard.

Doesn't that kind of depend on the elevation you start it at? I bet if you were to make a recess in the ground deep enough, you could probably get it to work.

however if I made the recess too narrow then It would hinder the time it would take to do the sprite. so generally Laying it down would be much better.

[Arhra]

So I messed around a bit with the section of railway Fifth laid out to my place in Terra.

Maybe I put in a few too many boosters...

[Aldurin]

You mean you rigged it to leave 8-bit blood smears at the end?

EDIT: I've finished a special addition to the Legend of Kre'pher on Elysium. Follow the cake trail past the steel creeper face near the volcano and take a look around.

[Arhra]

My stupid deathtrap doesn't want to work!

Damn flammable blocks and their not setting on fire when I pour lava on them.

[BitVyper]

Progress on my giant flying boat continues:

But wait, what's this...

Calling you paralyzed from the waist down.

Eventually bisected.

Question: Who made that big tree next to where I was making the town?

I don't know anything about a town, but Ygg'drasil is mine.

[Flarecobra]

Well, it was a bit close... one of the things of TNT I was using to make the ruins blasted a chunk out of it.

[BitVyper]

Are you sure you're both talking about the same world and place? I think I went by TDK's place at one point ages ago and there was nothing anywhere near it.

[Flarecobra]

In Elysum? Near where my ruins and giant snakey girl is at?

[TDK]

Nah, mine's on Terra. Nevermind, then. :I

[BitVyper]

Yeah, I figured they were different trees.

Anyway, this one is right in Flare's space, so I am endorsing her removal of it. Speak now if that's an issue for you (whoever you are).

[Aldurin]

Minecarts disappear after I log out of Elysium, this is really messing up the track and long range boosters I need for quick transport to my project site.

EDIT: They slowly reappear over time for some freakish reason. At the quadruple boosters at the start one would reappear each time I turned my back.

EDIT2: They're just invisible until a random moment or direct interaction. Nevermind.

[Marc v4.0]

This is pretty much the best thing ever, and should be rolling out with Beta 1.4

YEah I have no idea what causes this, they are invisible but still there.

I will try upgrade over the weekend to the latest bukkit, maybe reinstall the plugins, see if that clears things up.

It's like I want to buy this game now
And instead of doing anything related to mining or constructing anything
I just want to wander the wilderness
Recruiting wolves
And then I will have like a hundred pet wolves
And I will give them all bones
And we will all be happy

[Solid Snake]

I swear if the doggies can die and one of them dies
I will hunt down whatever killed her
I will like seriously capture the creeper
Surround it with something that explodes
Surround the entire continent with something that explodes
Ignite the explosives
Create a character so deep that it reaches the center of the Earth
Then build a monument to doggie on top of the crater

[Flarecobra]

Create a character?

[ASlimeDrawsNear]

A character so deep it reaches the center of the earth? Are you writing a story now?

[Aldurin]

Snake is just on a cuteness high, remain calm and keep out of his direct reach.

I won't be a bit surprised if he built a Pinkie Pie in Minecraft.

[BitVyper]

Hey, Fifth: I was testing cannon designs and accidentally gave myself 4950 instead of 49 50. Glitched my inventory. Could you clear it for me when you get a chance? Can't log on.

Upshot is, I think I can make working cannons that will fit on my boat.

Edit: Managed to log in long enough to self terminate. Everything should be fine now once those items despawn.

[Arcanum]

The other day I decided to hop back on the Minecraft Cart and start a new single player world. One thing led to another and now I have a chicken pit. I am the chicken catching master.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/arcanum_DF/chickenpit.png

About half of those chickens were spawned from eggs the other half (that I caught) layed.

[Fifthfiend]

So incidentally since i am continuing to be A HUGE JERK about lettin' anyone else make their own portals, and also because my hours of actually playing this game (as opposed to being on the console) tend to be constrained, I am gonna say that if you want an INTER-WORLD portal put up between one location and another location then let me know the x/y/z coordinates of each of the two worlds where you want the portals linked and i'll set it up next time I'm on.

Portal has to meet the Portal Specification Rules and Guidelines which are it's got to have two markers on either side of where the portal should be, has to be at least 2 blocks high and at least two blocks width of open space between the two markers, and I think it needs to have like three or four blocks of open space above it to make sure you don't get portaled onto your roof.

If you want an intraworld portal set up then you can ask buuuuut the answer is probably no.

[Fifthfiend]

Few things:

1. Instead of farting around with /time, thinking of using a new plugin I found that will let me perma-set times for the various worlds, which I'd then set up as

ely: permaday
terra: permaday
arcanos: regular day/night
necromunda: permanight

The last one of those is the one I'm looking for opinions on, like to me having Munda be the WORLD OF ETERNAL NIGHT would be a neat way to differentiate it from Arcanos but I don't have anything especially built up over there so I'd like to know what people who do have a whole lot of stuff built up there might have to say about it.

2. Got rid of the map radius limiter cause it wasn't that big a deal in the first place and it just made things less fun in some vague undefined way.

3. I noticed a couple people logging on, being on for a few minutes, hitting java errors, and logging out. WHATS UP WITH THAT GUYS

[Marc v4.0]

I already night-proofed my little neck of the Munda woods, so I am all for it

[Fifthfiend]

BTW guys, re: 3 up there

3. I noticed a couple people logging on, being on for a few minutes, hitting java errors, and logging out. WHATS UP WITH THAT GUYS

I am doin' a bit of testing to try and nail down what that error is about SO server's gonna be down / you might log in to some totally random world.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j122/arcanum_DF/chickenpit.png

Now all you need are some prisoners to chuck down there and watch as they get pecked to death.

[Fifthfiend]

Changed server java distributions. It fixed the startup error I've been seeing, hopefully it'll generally cut down on any bugginess/lag anyone's been getting.

btw THADIUS

I SAW YOU LOGGING ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING ERRORS OF ANY KIND, CONTACT ME ABOUT THEM

[Flarecobra]

The sprites show up quite well.

[Aldurin]

That hole in the obsidian sky is so annoying but I don't want to fix it, also the lava makes it pointless so can that whole layer of obsidian somehow be edited out?

[Marc v4.0]

What About Necro?

[Fifthfiend]

I vaguely had the notion that Necro was going to be the WORLD OF MYSTERY wherein UNSPECIFIED PLANS were gonna happen and thusly it would not be mapped in order to not reveal them, I don't know whether this is indeed gonna be the case still but I am not mapping it for the time being on the chance that I go with that.

[Thadius]

Whelp there goes all my free time. Finally managed to get it working on a computer around here.

So if you see a little shack in the middle of the winter wastes? That's part 1. At last count there were 20 parts.

EDIT: Okay so Fifth? You're awesome. I cannot say it enough.

Also, unless you've talked to me about what I want to do with my giant flying stone slab, please don't mess with my giant flying stone slab. Or the walkway. Or the stairs.

[Fifthfiend]

SO

we have currently switched to the permatime thinger

Necromunda is now the LAND OF ETERNAL NIGHT

Other world time settings are... p much what you would expect them to be! Let me know what you think.

EDIT: Okay so Fifth? You're awesome.

Yup.

[Flarecobra]

Well, I got the dock underway in Ely. Lots of places for boats.

[ASlimeDrawsNear]

What was the name of this permatime plugin?

[Fifthfiend]

MANY EXCITING NEW COMMANDS FOR PLAYERS

/who - lists who's on the server and their distance from you
/where - lists your current coordinates and direction
/sethome - sets a per-world 'home' location that you can return to at will or on death, command cooldown of once per hour (may be changed to once per day)
/home - return to your home location

these should be active on all playable worlds.

[Thadius]

Entry to my floating island is denied overnight. Hell it may just be denied until I finish building up the damn thing to a level I like. I'm reasonably sure I could just cut off myself from the surface world entire at this point and not feel the loss too badly.

And trust me, if you do try to force your way in, I will know and I do have lava.

[Fifthfiend]

Thinkin' my next project's gonna be a visitor's center on the other side of the public cartline from the Terra spawn. Maybe space for like... public donation chests for people asking for stuff for projects, and some signs listing notable sights.

Also I'd kinda like to do up some kind of web page for the thing. Have to see whether I can host it off the same server as the minecraft server.

[Nikose Tyris]

Also I'd kinda like to do up some kind of web page for the thing

Helloooooooooo~

[Fifthfiend]

lolz BTW you've been added to the relevant group listings and such so you should have /spawn, /i on Elysium, that sort of thing.

[Nikose Tyris]

Thanks!

[Thadius]

Uh fifth I was just kicked is there a reason for that?

[Doc ock rokc]

Uh fifth I was just kicked is there a reason for that?

it was probably to remove your time powers.

[Thadius]

it was probably to remove your time powers.

Oh c'mon, how can you say that? I didn't abuse them!

...Except when fifth told me to...

[Nikose Tyris]

I suspect the entire "cannot connect to server" thing is related to FIRE.

[Thadius]

I suspect the entire "cannot connect to server" thing is related to FIRE.

You burn ONE world-tree and everyone complains...

[Fifthfiend]

Nah, believe it or not it was a fuckup on my end. Went to run backups, didn't realize I had already filled up all the space on my remote server, BUKKIT ASPLODE

[Nikose Tyris]

Thad: There is now a hut filled with supplies for you to pick up. I'm satisfied using stone tools for the majority of my work, and I'll use the diamond pickaxe you gifted me whenever I need a stronger material.

My next goal is a lava pit for disposals.

I have no idea how close everybody's residences are to each other, but wouldn't it be so much more awesome if you had a working sewer system leading to said lava pit disposal?
Or just a general disposal pit.

Just a suggestion from somebody who don't even play on this server.

with a legit sewer system we wouldn't need a lava pit, water flow would dump things into a lake or ocean and they'd just decompose in about 30 mins.

Anyways, guys I've been gone for awhile and when I jumped on for a minute I noticed alot of changes, could someone give me a recap on the changes in the last month?

If I have my way I will be building [on Terra] a public transit system; a public septic system would be hella difficult.

A tunnel system like that would be ridiculous even if we crammed everything together as tight as possible.

Check the maps post that Earl just linked, if you download the fullsize ones that should give you a pretty decent overview.

Aside from that, Necromunda is now the LAND OF ETERNAL NIGHT, unmapped and unknown (except when the time plugin spergs out). Skim the OP for the various commands accessible to players, I am preeeeeeeeeetty sure it is all up to date.

[Thadius]

I may be biased, but I do think that most of the major changes made near or past Bit's area deserve someone talking about them. Is there a dragoness in the audience willing to do so?

[Fifthfiend]

Running some new renders, I'll have the fullsize files up in a bit, but I thought instead of doing the usual shrunk-down post of the full map I'd just do some like, crops of the various interesting sites.

I love how well my giant pit on Thadius' property shows up. :D

While the world of Necromunda is clearly too WEIRD and TERRIFYING to ever be fully mapped, a few of you have managed to carve out corners in the darkness in which to huddle, braced against the UNDYING NIGHT.

WHO EVERS

[Thadius]

Nikose!

Go into the Labyrinthine quarry I dug out a while ago, but go straight.

You should find some steps that lead to lava.

Hope that helps!

[Marc v4.0]

I have to say, with a bit of pride, that my Munda shit is really sweet looking on that render.

[Nikose Tyris]

I should not log on while in class. :P

Edit: My professor is asking me to show the game oh god

[Fifthfiend]

Hahahahahaha

I will totally narrate the game world for your class nikose, sign back on so we can share Fiendcraft with your institution of learning.

Have your professor join in on your account, I think he will really enjoy what he sees.

[Nikose Tyris]

hahaha nooooo single player first, will sign in to multiplayer at like 9 or sommat after class is done for him to see.

[Thadius]

As my tower nears completion, a thought occurs to me.

My character needs a new skin. One of Thief while he was a ninja.

I'm sure you all know why. My only question is where I find it.

EDIT: Oh gods now I have to find a way to get on RIGHT NOW so that I can comment on my floating impossibility while your professor watches.

[Fifthfiend]

Google for minecraft skins, there's a huge repository site, I think it is actually called minecraftskins.com or somesuch.

[Viridis]

TDK's forest looks neat. I really should carve something into the face of Mt. Chunk Error.

[Nikose Tyris]

So after class he lectured me on playing games and how it impacts my test marks, and said he expects better of me.

Then he handed me a 75% test back that was top of the class.

He also bought an account tonight and is apparently going to play for the next week to determine if it's a 'waste of time' or not.

I like this professor.

EDIT: Damnit Thad come empty your supply chests. There's enough loot in those to beg a griefer.

[Thadius]

Well now he was obligated to do the first bit.

But the fact that he was willing to try it out himself? He's automatically 20% cooler than I thought he was.

EDIT: I'll try to sneak on later tonight. No promises.

[Grimpond]

Yeah, got sucked into the world of dreams when I walked to close and fell through the world for a bit. A bunch of stuff got added to my inventory as well, so I'll just set then in the chest.

e: Guess I need to be whitelisted too?

[Nikose Tyris]

Why is it night on Terra. What is this I don't even

Used a bed while I was the only one on the server, so you can see it in the log.

[Thadius]

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I'M NOT ON TO BE A TIME LORD FOR FIFTH.

Actually it's probably just due to him resetting the server. Tends to happen.

[Aldurin]

Fifth, I will torch out my Necro base so that it's more noticeable when you render again.

[Fifthfiend]

I didn't even restart the server, gatdamn plugin just stopped working for like no reason at all. AUGH this fucking plugin.

ANYWAY, started work on the TERRA COMMUNITY CENTER. Also moved the Ely portal back a couple blocks so hopefully you jokers will stop FALLING INTO IT all the damn time.

e: Guess I need to be whitelisted too?

what's your minecraft name? same as here?

[Grimpond]

Aye

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Bullshit of the Day: Find out that /spawn doesn't work on Infernum while being mobbed by ghasts, die, respawn inside of a wall, die again, and get dumped back into Terra minus all the glowstone dust I'd gathered and like six iron picks.

[Fifthfiend]

Grimpond: you're added to the relevant permissions lists, go nuts!

Shyria: I apologize for that, Fiendcraft strives to be as bullshit-free an experience as possible BUT the nether has lagged in bullshit-correction because, well, frankly I hate the fucking Nether and anything to do with it, BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE, stuff will be replaced and Nether-spawning repaired as soon as possible.

[Fifthfiend]

HEY GUYS, ANYONE ELSE GENERALLY EXPERIENCING LOCATION ERRORS ON RESPAWN/LOGIN

I am noticing a bunch of errors at the console, IDK what that translates to in terms of what you guys are experiencing though.

[Pip Boy]

Earlier I logged on inside a wall, died, ragequit.

[Fifthfiend]

IMPORTANT

GUYS

FOR NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T YET,

DON'T UPDATE

[Thadius]

But...

PUPPIES.

You're asking us to resist the temptation of puppies?

YOU FIEND.

Oh wait.

[Fifthfiend]

Anyone claiming I do not want puppies as much as anybody else is clearly telling lies

BUT YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO WAIT, THAD

you are gonna have to wait a little bit

for the puppies

[Fifthfiend]

BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVE UPDATED

I may have a way for you to get back onto Fiendcraft

but you will have to PM me about it

due to this way of doing this being 100% LEGAL

AND COMPLETELY IN KEEPING WITH THE TERMS OF THE MINECRAFT LICENSE

Earlier I logged on inside a wall, died, ragequit.

let me know where you were and what (if anything) you lost.

[Aldurin]

Are you just waiting for bukkit to update to 1.4 or is this a fuck-up within the minecraft update itself?

[Melfice]

Probably bukkit.
Haven't seen a Tweet of Notch saying 1.4 is broken, so...

[BitVyper]

Is this update going to happen automatically as soon as I turn on Minecraft? If so, how do I stop it?

[Fifthfiend]

Earl: yeah current client update breaks compatibility with the latest version of bukkit (which even itself breaks compatibility with the current versions of several of the plugins we use).

Bit: no fortunately it won't happen automatically, a thing will pop up asking if you want to update, say no to that and you're fine.

Depending on how long the bukkit guys take to update and what people want to do I may just put up the updated vanilla minecraft server running either Terra or a randomly selected "junk" world (by "junk" I mean "you guys will build a bunch of rad shit and I will sucker myself into plugging it into the multiworld somehow"). In whichever case though none of that's gonna happen until like... 9pm pacific time tonight-ish.

[Melfice]

You're asked if you want to update the game.
You're free to decline, in which case you'll be able to continue playing 1.3_01

[Aldurin]

I may just put up the updated vanilla minecraft server running either Terra or a randomly selected "junk" world (by "junk" I mean "you guys will build a bunch of rad shit and I will sucker myself into plugging it into the multiworld somehow").

It should be another creative world so we can say that it's a dream within a dream.

[Nikose Tyris]

So I selected "No" in the launcher and it updated me anyway, so, you know, fuck you minecraft.

I GUESS I'LL BE UP LATER GUYS.

[Revising Ocelot]

http://www.minecraft.net/store/loot.jsp

Try and get $10,000 before clicking the checkout.


And I give up using my regular server. They're still on 1.2 and refuse to update since it uses a mod that will also never be updated. Bleh.
Shame the NPF server is too laggy for me. But then I'd probably just go on it and whine about what an imbecile I am, rather than build anything.

[Fifthfiend]

So I selected "No" in the launcher and it updated me anyway, so, you know, fuck you minecraft.

I GUESS I'LL BE UP LATER GUYS.

The problem may be that you're still using the old launcher. You want to be using the one that shows you minecraft.net in a window when you open it.

If that's the case then download the latest Minecraft.exe from minecraft.net, then PM me.

Shame the NPF server is too laggy for me.

Have you tried it recently? I know some people get intermittent lag but it seems like it generally clears up after a while.

Mine shows me the mcupdate.tumblr.com, it's the old as shit launcher from when it was just a .jar file. :P And I'm not that worried. I'll wait till Bukkit updates and take a break to do some homework for a couple days. Probably good for me!

[Revising Ocelot]

Have you tried it recently? I know some people get intermittent lag but it seems like it generally clears up after a while.

Not recently, but the lag's due to distance since I'm English.

[Thadius]

Must...resist...urge...

"Go away, so-called Revolving Ocelot! You and all your silly English Knigggits!"

Resist failed.

[Fifthfiend]

HMMM, probably right. I'm honestly not entirely assured of the likelihood of success of attempted downgrading anyway.

If enough people have problems not-upgrading I can always switch over to the upgraded standard server for however long it takes the bukkit guys to update. Although TBH they're pretty quick about that shit regardless.

Not recently, but the lag's due to distance since I'm English.

Hmmm if that's the case then nothin' I can do about it, yeah. Still though, give it another try sometime, you never know?!

BTW what plugin is it that your server uses that won't be updated from 1.2? AFAIK most of the worthwhile customizations got ported to 1.3 in one way or another.

[Revising Ocelot]

Must...resist...urge...

"Go away, so-called Revolving Ocelot! You and all your silly English Knigggits!"

Resist failed.

Nobody ever quotes Holy Grail here. It's always Life of Brian.

Something called HMOD, I believe.

[Fifthfiend]

Something called HMOD, I believe.

Hahaha, what

They seriously need to port their shit over to bukkit, which at this point should do basically everything that hMod ever did, plus a bunch of other shit that hMod never even dreamed of doing, plus it actually, you know, gets updated.

[Nikose Tyris]

Downgrade worked, I'm in.

[Flarecobra]

Didn't seen to give ME the option.

[Aerozord]

hey look, minecraft store (http://www.minecraft.net/store/loot.jsp)

RAPTOR STOLE MY CART

[Flarecobra]

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Cookie

Monsters don't want to share their cookies.

[Aldurin]

So apparently dying on a non-Terra world when nobody is around deletes your dropped stuff when you respawn. I only lost random miscellaneous crap but it's still something to point out.

EDIT: Okay, here's a huge what-the-fuck.
http://sadpanda.us/images/418780-OSA1MCW.png

This is totally on terra, and neither Thad nor Nikose could see this. It was like literally like 30 or 40 blocks north of the portals. They even moved their legs when pushed.

I'm scared.

[Fifthfiend]

Looks like a stable bukkit version is up. At a glance the two critical plugins (permissions and multiverse) have working versions up for it. I'll be doing testing probably tonight when I get home, if not tonight then Friday/over the weekend. Once I've figured out whether it's working I'll let ya'll know that you can update your client.

[Aldurin]

Okay, so the creepers that only I can see are gone.

Also fifth, look at the edit on my last post.

[Fifthfiend]

hahaha oh god I wish there were a way to make that happen all the time

[Thadius]

Heh. Technically I'm in that picture.

Stealing Nikose's wallet.

[Aldurin]

hahaha oh god I wish there were a way to make that happen all the time

I think it was a glitch combined with the severe lag I was having partially due to just leaving Arcanos, but yes dummy creepers that you could push around would be awesome.

Actually redstone triggered creepers would be better.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Sweet jiminy, I don't know what texture pack you're using, but those creepers are goddamned...creepy.

Also, Snake, if you don't have Minecraft, get it.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/MineCraftPonyVille.png

I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A NEW PROJECT ON ELYSIUM

[Solid Snake]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

OMG OMG OMG

EDIT: Are you going to follow the fan-created map? Create the mountain where the dragon slept, create Canterlot, create the forests and Fluttershy's preserve and Applejack's farm and and and and AND AND AND AND AND

[Aldurin]

Sweet jiminy, I don't know what texture pack you're using, but those creepers are goddamned...creepy.

It's the Misa HD 64x64 texture pack. Just be warned that this can slow down minecraft if your computer is barely pulling it off in 8-bit.

EDIT: Snake get on this server and start psychotically building shit. NOW.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

Nets a new best friend.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/Wolfy.png

[Fifthfiend]

All right I am tentatively saying that we are up and running for 1.4. Intermittent restarts for the next little while. No special commands / time voodoo just yet but the assorted worlds are where they should be.

[Thadius]

I am predicting puppies and Solid Snake going absolutely pony-crazy on the creative server.

I do believe I should set up shop selling cacti and wheat/baked goods to anyone willing to give me bones. This way, the people who brave the monster worlds get food and defenses, and I get a wolf pack! Win-win!

[Aldurin]

Just run around arcanos right after the sun comes up and grab free bones, with only a mild creeper risk (very mild, since they seem to despawn quickly.

[Fifthfiend]

Speaking of puppies, post in here whether you actually find any spawned wolves anywhere and where you find 'em, I have yet to see any.

apparently they are rare in smp and only found in naturally snowy areas
also be careful where the server places you
I was on terra before logout and found myself on arc when i logged in.

[Thadius]

Fifth you need to be on more often.

The Altar is completed, it merely needs to meet with your approval.

To-Do list:
Plate throne room in precious metals.
Fill basement, turn into maze.
Use all this Obsidian for something.
Laugh.
Laugh.

[Fifthfiend]

Will /spawn and /sethome be reimplemented soon? Walking is taking too much of my time.

Looks like the relevant plugins have been updated, should be able to bugtest them tonight, we'll see whether or not they work.

[Aldurin]

So Thad and I went through a humongous ordeal in attempt to get him a wolf, thad tried like 6 bones before we trapped the wolf and I went to get my last four bones. I then gave him those bones and the last one tames the wolf. We then do some last minute modifications to thad's place to make it more wolf-friendly to bring it back.

This must have taken half an hour or so to catch ONE wolf that at like 10 bones. So can some bones be spawned in the public donation box because this shouldn't have to happen every time?

[Thadius]

Just so you all know that Earl ain't lyin'.

Why not put together a raiding party and fight monsters for their precious drops, as men once did?

Or build an automated mob slaughter engine.

[Thadius]

Arhra.

Arhra.

Monsters don't spawn on Terra.

Bones don't drop on Terra.

Starting to see the problem here?

[Aldurin]

And then you have the dumbasses that use bones for insta-trees or white dye, which is practically a crime now.

[Thadius]

Oh by the way Earl, thank you ever so much for your help, and enjoy your payment.

To-do list:
Fill basement.
Plate throne room in precious metals.
Find a use for all the obsidian.
Laugh.
Laugh.
Laugh.

You seem to be misinterpreting the definition of "donation box".

[Thadius]

Okay, how about a charity box next to the Earl and Thadius Wolf-catching pit filled with bones in memory of the ordeal it took to get Fido onto my flying island?

[Aerozord]

wait you can tame them? I just killed it :(

thought it would leave a new drop

[Thadius]

YOU...

I cannot begin to express the SHEER RAGE your STUPIDITY has brought me.

Oh wait.

http://i53.tinypic.com/sxp20z.jpg

YES I FUCKING WELL CAN! FUCK YOU FOR DOING THAT! FIFTH WANTED A WOLF PET AND YOU FUCKING KILL THE WOLF? I BET YOU'D TRY TO MINE DIAMONDS WITH A WOODEN SHOVEL!

[Aerozord]

just to clearify, this was on my single player game

[Thadius]

Still angry at you.

WHY WOULD YOU KILL A PUPPY?

IT ONLY WANTS BONES TO BE YOUR FRIEND!

I'm allergic to dogs. But so long as they stay away from me, they'll be fine.

Keep them in your inventory or in a buried chest at all times. Actually I would never go through your stuff.

[Nikose Tyris]

Lag is just a touch too high for me today. I logged earlier to do homework, finished it, jumped back on and it's still juuuust to the point of frustration. I'll leave it be and get back on to continue the Outpost later.

[Aldurin]

Oh yeah, if anybody finds a skeleton spawner on necro or arcanos KEEP IT INTACT. I'm sure that I or somebody else could figure out a way to turn it into a bone vending machine.

doggie can swim, and when it gets out he shakes the water off ^_^

You know what occurs to me?

Doggies need to be able to fetch things for you.

Like when you punch a pig and the doggie kills the pig, he should bring the meat back to you.

I'd be happy if they just removed friendly fire and taking fall damage, mine almost always die by accident

Heads up for everyone: Wolves will NOT follow you between worlds. They will automatically sit when you leave the world and wait for your return.

HEY GUYS

A quick note about SAND

I realize we all need this valuable glass-making resource, HOWEVER

A bunch of stripmined beaches and deserts are UGLY TO LOOK AT

There is lots of map available on each of the mapped worlds and ever more to be discovered; if you need sand then find one of the more distant sandy areas to dig it from rather than stripping beaches and deserts near the central spawn areas or near other people's stuff.

[BitVyper]

http://capitolnerd.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/futurama-seymour.jpg

Well.

Now I can never leave Terra or Elysium for more than five minutes again.

Out of curiousity, is anyone else finding it REALLY crashy?

[BitVyper]

That's what I do too.

[Fifthfiend]

Now seems like a good time for RENDERS

For clipouts, gonna mainly focus on stuff that's changed a lot since the last maps I ran.

First off is Elysium since I didn't do that at all last time. Ely tends to be... feature-dense,

http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3042/201104032015elysiumnurw.png

so here's a nice big shot of the central area, where you'll see doc's sprites (SORRY WHITE MAGE DOESN'T SHOW UP IN THIS ONE), Shy's Bakonhaus, Flare's docks, and many other exciting features.

And uh,

http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/8601/201104032015elysiumnure.png

here's one of Earl's big hole in the ground

I was gonna do one of that airship/tower Bit and Shy did BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT, anyone who likes is welcome to download these FULL SIZE RENDERS

Elysium, 2 maps, about 40MB (http://www.mediafire.com/?xxjt3paryx98mne)

and post that or any other projects you feel like cropping out.

[Fifthfiend]

Next up from Arcanos is Earl's SKYBOX

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6585/201104032008arcanosnurs.png (http://img263.imageshack.us/i/201104032008arcanosnurs.png/)

it is a SKYBOX

Full renders:

Arcanos, 2 maps, 8MB (http://www.mediafire.com/?n0matv5h2lv0b5e)

[Fifthfiend]

And it is back home to Terra to showcase the central area

http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/3858/201104032015terranblcen.png

featuring Mags' new SKYPOOL as well as my modest tower and our new COMMUNITY CENTER and Bit's Wily castle (from an angle that doesn't show off the skull at all but OH WELL TOO BAD) and other acts of egregious architecture

Next up just over from TDK's treefort

http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/337/201104032015terranblshy.png

is Shy's latest foray into ADVANCED DRAGONOMICS (work in progress!)

And then back over here to this newly developing area

featuring projects by Thadius, Nikose, and Vyper!

http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/5357/201104032015terranurbit.png

FULL RENDERS

Terra, 2 maps, 65MB (http://www.mediafire.com/?t0hnpi28gr7sxvw)


That is about it from this round but again I encourage anyone who wants to showcase anything I left out to download the full maps and crop out anything you'd like to post here.

[Aerozord]

I've been wondering, how do you get the pictures of the maps?

[Fifthfiend]

There are several programs that will generate this sort of image from a minecraft world folder. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Programs_and_Editors has a pretty comprehensive list. The one I use is MCMap because it's 1. surprisingly fast and 2. pretty. (if you use that one on your own map I recommend using skylighting, noise:4, and increased y-ratio.)

[Doc ock rokc]

Thats it im going to make something better on Terra
Something BIG!
fuck that lost everything (including my bones) mining ob
I give up

[TDK]

I made something.

http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/1736/creeperface.png

Can we get a render of that? :3


Also shyria, your dragon thing is looking pretty sweet.

[Fifthfiend]

I should really run a render that shows off your impossible signs.

[Fifthfiend]

SO HEY

This here is obviously a bunch of creative, project-enjoying people.

So what I was thinking would be neat to have, would be some kind of FIENDCRAFT LOGO. Something I could put at the top of this thread's op / the server website I intermittently threaten to make.

I could do something myself, but IT WOULD PROBABLY BE DUMB, so i thought I'd see what you fine artistic people might make, or not-make of something like that.

As far as requirements, uh... Maybe something people could use in forum signatures? So like 500 pixels wide by 100 tall? Or... maybe not! In which case whatever looks good, maybe something super-widescreen like 800 or even 1000 pixels wide. Obv. it should 1. say Fiendcraft somewhere in it, and 2. look super-pretty. I guess ideally it should evocatively portray the unique collective character and identity of the server community? OR ALTERNATELY just look real nice.

If someone comes up with a good one that I end up using, maybe there could be some AS YET ENTIRELY UNSPECIFIED reward.

Anyway, just throwing that out there!

[Thadius]

Well golly. Looking at all those towers in conjunction like that...

Nikose.

Bit.

I have a Project to throw onto the pile.

The Tower-Accessed Superhighway to all places of interest on Terra.

What do you think?

if i find a big enough area Ill build you a FiendCraft Nintendo logo or there abouts if im board and have the time.

[Fifthfiend]

thanks, though upon looking it over I realized, I have no idea how to run it, nor what a GUI is

GUI just means graphic user interface! Like, anything you would run in a windows window, with buttons and menus, instead of something you run from a command line.

It is pretty simple; in MCMap GUI, either pick your singerplayer save from the menu (it should be able to autofind them) or place the path to your map in the custom window. Set whichever you like of the various options, or don't set any of them since you can generate a perfectly nice render using the defaults, then hit start! The map will be generated in the mcmap folder under the name output.png.

[Aldurin]

Ok, I was just planning to rip off Zetaplays logo and use that style for the Fiendcraft logo, but if I guess Nintendo style is cool.

...How long...

How long does it take you all to actually build all that stuff?

[Thadius]

...How long...

Go look for my first post in this thread.

Now come back and see the T-Tower on the flying island.

Also look at that wooden shack and realize that under it is the setting for Zork, essentially.

Also realize that I'm in the process of furnishing the T-Tower with an actual throne room and hollowing out the basement to serve a purpose.

All that time up until NOW was spent doing those things.

[Aldurin]

The "skybox" must have taken a few days, but around an actual 8 or so hours of game time. Though I admit that a lot of that time was me bullshitting around while waiting for the next batch of glass/stone. The coal is easy to come across if you obsessively strip mine just above bedrock.

...Man, it took me like nearly eight hours of playing Minecraft to just like dig a hole in the ground and try to halfassedly make a house out of it that one time I played when Minecraft was free.

[Fifthfiend]

Run mcmapgui.exe.

Give it the path/name of any folder that contains a file named "level.dat".

The thing with minecraft is to get pro at putting together your basic tools/workshop/mine, then you can go nuts.

That and of course shamelessly ripping off other people's ideas. But that's not so much the rule for minecraft as for... everything, ever.

If you ever decide to give it a go Fiendcraft is probably a pretty forgiving beginner's environment just due to the main world's no monsters / constant daylight, along with my extremely lax adminning policies and the fairly decent number of helpful players.

[Aerozord]

ah I see, I downloaded the wrong file, working fine now, thanks

Thanks for the offer, but I really do think Minecraft is exactly the one kind of game I cannot afford to get into, at any and all costs.

Like, I can handle most videogames so long as I budget them out in short spurts, and force myself to give up for the day as soon as I reach the conclusion of the next mission, or the next chapter. Even long RPGs can be parceled out effectively.

Then there's something like Minecraft, where I'd imagine I'd start playing and then 24 hours later I'd finally realize that I should probably eat or sleep sometime, before remembering that in fact I've missed three classes and an assignment or two along the way to building my perfect paradise.

...And then some troll would start a wildfire and destroy my paradise in a matter of milliseconds.

Minecraft update to remove the joke box broke minecraft for me. It's probably something to do with MCPatcher but I can't remember how to manually find the bin folder to delete.
