HMMMMMMMMM afaik arhra's been able to get on fine from filthy criminal-infested Australia.

Can you give me any other details about your experience?

LOOKS LIKE as of the latest recommmended Bukkit update that multiworld building error has been resolved. Gonna get started getting Arcanos / Nether back up and running, will be thinking about what to do with Creative (Skaia/Elysium/other).

YES, I need netherack for my Terra project and I need it by the shitload.

BTW extending/switch-directing my aboveground cartline from the spawn to magmarashi's tower and vridis's chunk.

Also probably gonna throw in a switch at some point to shoot it towards Zag's fireisland.

Teleporting sheep that take 1.5 seconds to respond to a punch. That'd be death if it was a Creeper.

Anyone else having trouble? My client says minecraft.net is down and, while I can connect to minecraft.net just fine, the in-browser keeps freezing up before it even gets going


edit: browser trouble was due to texture back...so just the client acting up again for no reason...

Working fine here.

EDIT: Fifth, chances of keeping the new Monsterworld?

UGH PROBABLY because I am a huge hcump and every itme I go like "yo guys this is a temp world" you go nuts building shit and then I'm like WELL GOTTA KEEP IT 4EVA NOW.

Time to put your foot down?

Just as I thought, thank you for allowing an indefinite length of time for the establishment of my secure facility in the warzone.

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/c...acnoir/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/c...acnoir/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/c...acnoir/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...

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...acnoir/5-1.png

I fear that this time I have failed.

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!)

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

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

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

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

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.

guys

guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys

Holy shit. Sarda has taken over Creative World.

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.

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

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

~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.

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

Just wondering, how did you connect all these worlds?

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.

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!

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.

/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.

/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?

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

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?

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.

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

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

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/c...acnoir/8-1.png

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

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...acnoir/9-1.png

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

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...cnoir/10-1.png

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

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/c...cnoir/11-1.png

They come closer to reaping the fruits of their ignorance.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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/mec...31.6218/page-2 sounds pretty promising so that'll probably be up soon-ish.

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.

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...

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.

My stupid deathtrap doesn't want to work!

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

Progress on my giant flying boat continues:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...-16_105636.png

Still need to do the forward sails, but shaping those is turning into quite a trial.

But wait, what's this...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...-16_111059.png

Call me Mindfang.

Calling you banned.

Calling you paralyzed from the waist down.

Or bisected.

Eventually bisected.

....

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

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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.

WOLVES
 

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9Lp9p5yjuo

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.

I had like virtually no interest in like wasting time building monstrosities on Minecraft.

But then I saw the new wolves video.
They are sssssooooo adorable

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4549162/1300316118682.jpg

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

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

Create a character?
