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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Downgrade worked, I'm in.

Didn't seen to give ME the option.

hey look, minecraft store

be sure to keep it under 10,000

What happons then?

EDIT: I don't get it.

:mad:

Got up to just about $1100 before hitting checkout.

RAPTOR STOLE MY CART

Monsters don't want to share their cookies.

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.
And they aren't even aggressive.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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

I HAVE AN IDEA FOR A NEW PROJECT ON ELYSIUM

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

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.

A Successful Hunt...
 

Nets a new best friend.

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.

No really, please take these things off my hands, my farms are ridiculously bountiful
 

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.

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.

May I be Whitelisted?
Username:

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.

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

They show up in Forest and Taiga biomes.

also wonder how this will work with the beds

Oh, and I wanted to share this

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

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?

I TOLD YOU THE DOG WANTED CAKE!!

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.

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

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

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

thought it would leave a new drop

I will rep anyone who recognizes what this is and where on the internet it is from.
 

just to clearify, this was on my single player game

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

this probably isn't the time to mention that I hold 36 bones and have a monster farm.

Personally I think the big O___o face would have been better

Erm.

No. No it isn't.

Quickly, before I burst out swearing again, RUN.

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

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.

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.

Full stack here. >_>

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

I'm starting a kennelhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ord/kennel.jpg

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

Lit and creeper-proofed doghouse. I have one to keep my four wolves safe (given that they're on Arcanos).

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.

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?

There's always under the water. I've started doing that on Necro.

That's what I do too.

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/img846/3...lysiumnurw.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/img848/8...lysiumnure.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

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

Next up from Arcanos is Earl's SKYBOX

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6...rcanosnurs.png

it is a SKYBOX

Full renders:

Arcanos, 2 maps, 8MB

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

http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/3...erranblcen.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/img859/3...erranblshy.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/img109/5...erranurbit.png

FULL RENDERS

Terra, 2 maps, 65MB


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.

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

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.)

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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.

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?
