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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

BTW guys, re: 3 up there

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.

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

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.

New maps!

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

The sprites show up quite well.

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?

What About Necro?

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.

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.

Yup.

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

What was the name of this permatime plugin?

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.

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.

Helloooooooooo~

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.

Thanks!

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...

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

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

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

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.

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.

Wrong. That upper one is mine.

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

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

I should not log on while in class. :P

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

Dude send him to our humble server to show him how much of a time waster this game is

DO IT

what's your minecraft name? same as here?

Aye

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.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT

GUYS

FOR NOW, IF YOU HAVEN'T YET,

DON'T UPDATE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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