Minecraft [see post #1 for MP server info]

[Geno_Mariner]

Got very bored and created this in Single Player while having fun with the TooManyItems mod. My own Minecraft Nuke (and yes I was messing with TNT earlier and blew part of the mountainside away).

[papa_smurf]

Going to abandon my old place in a few days and start out in a new spot. Will say so once I have emptied the place out, and can then give it over for anyone who starts new/used for storage etc.

[Oberon]

The what? We got an underground?

:yep:

Very nice job in the Underground:salute: Also, we got a latest map so I can see where I can stake a new claim.

The day the server stood still. Even if only for a minute.

[Oberon]

I'm still impressed that the server survived that. :yep:

Thoughts?

i think it will be wierd, waving hands around like crazy :P

[Arclight]

As long as it doesn't affect the game on PC, I couldn't care less. If people want to give themselfs a hernia by pretending to dig into their carpet in front of a toy camera, that's their business. :O:

Well, the City 19 public works project is reaching its end stages. The streets are in place as are the pavements for the most part. The streetlights are going up now and the trees to block the eyesore of the giant hole in the middle have been planted and have grown.

It's starting to look like a real city now. :rock:

[Spike88]

Hey. I resent the eye sore comment. Also I was thinking of covering the street with an over hang to keep snow out, and possibly building an elevated rail system

[NeonSamurai]

He's right though, the massive hole is not exactly pretty to look at.

[papa_smurf]

My old place is now available for anyone to use as they see fit, as I have now moved into City 19.

[Oberon]

Hey. I resent the eye sore comment. Also I was thinking of covering the street with an over hang to keep snow out, and possibly building an elevated rail system

Because the streets are half-blocks no snow settles on them ;)

Streetlights up and running now, working on the sewer system now. Got an idea for manhole covers with the trapdoors. :yeah:

[papa_smurf]

So what is the big hole in middle of C19 for?

[Task Force]

So what is the big hole in middle of C19 for?
The citadel Spike is building.

[papa_smurf]

The citadel Spike is building.

Ah, though couldn't he have dug the hole elsewhere so it wouldn't be an eysore?

[Task Force]

Ah, though couldn't he have dug the hole elsewhere so it wouldn't be an eysore?

Well, i think he wanted the citadel to be at he center of the city. Think that was his idea from the beginning.

[Nagy]

I've extended the city slightly on the North side. I straightened out the wall and made a bit of space. I think there's potential to push a bit further North or we could start extending East, but I haven't done a thorough Survey.

I also added a road to the Station.

Hope that's OK.

[Krauter]

Just took a tour of City 19..

WOW.

I'm really impressed. It looks really good and has improved a lot since I saw it last Good job guys :)

The citadel was planned, and started before the walls were even finished.

Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know I was gone for a month to visit our sister city, City 17. Most of you have seen me around town recently but I'd like to take this time to talk about the future of City 19, and the citadel.

First I'd like to give out the following acknowledgments. First I would like to thank sky god arclight, for without him none of us would be here right now. Secondly I'd like to thank the original founders, Krauter and lionclaw, for without them the city would have never started. Thirdly I'd like to thank Mr. Keab for his work finishing and then extending the defense walls. I would like to give thanks to Mr. Oberon for finishing the sewer, connecting City 19 to the rest of the world. I would like to give a joint thanks to Keab and Oberon for their joint effort in illuminating the city. Next I'd like to thank Task for his help, Waga for building the brothel(god knows I've used it) Lady Keab for her snow buildings, dowly for his TNT donations, and papa smurf for his free bread. You all make City 19 a safer place.

Onto the next topic, the citadel. I would like the citadel to represent a beacon for technological advances, and stand as the icon of City 19. To keep with the theme of our fine city, I'd like to mix past and present into the design. Right now I'm working on finally covering the giant eye sore that is the base. After that I will begin making the giant obsidian vault which will be built at z level 6. I would like to have a combination to get in, and a working safety deposit box controlled by minecarts. Working our way up from this level I would like to create a testing department with a working nether portal, I would like a fungus farm for growing mushrooms. At ground level of the citadel I would like to build a lobby with working emergency doors, which will lock. I would also like a working alarm system, a library, a kitchen, And my penthouse on top. And that's about it for the citadel.

Now in terms of City 19, I believe task is going to build the dungeon, but if not, I will. Other than that I leave you guys to continue doing the fine work you are known for.


Yes, I'm bored a work.

Not asking much are you?

Babby steps, Spike, babby steps.

(especially taking in account that 1.7 will most likely require a new world :hmmm:)

I'd care to place a wager that I'll be done with the citadel before 1.7. It would probably be done, or close to done by now if I hadn't been gone for a month due to the lack of internet.

It'll be so much quicker now that I'm no longer digging the hole straight down, and just digging out the floors I need.

http://youtu.be/gAnuoZ2ms6gYeah, too funny. The question remains though, how did it escape from below the water?

[Dowly]

Yeah, too funny. The question remains though, how did it escape from below the water?

Etho is bit of an genius, so I'm sure he had the creeper come up a water elevator just for that scene. Spaz, is General Spaz, the leader of the Creepers he met in one of his earlier episodes. Spaz was unhappy how Etho's mobtrap killed his Creepers blaa blaa.

[Krauter]

Well I've decided to do something with that ugly hill in the middle of City 19.. I hope you guys don't mind me extending the road to where I want it to lead up to my palisade

Cheers :D

[Lionclaw]

View over City 19 from a hill just south of the city.

[Dowly]

Wow! It doesn't look like a complete pile of wank anymore. :O:

[Nagy]

Will you be adding a Ferreton Embassy?

[Dowly]

Is there room?

[Oberon]

Is there room?

Sure. North side has a fair bit of room and Keab is going to extend the walls northwards a bit soon. :salute:

[Geno_Mariner]

Impressive but Obi's got you beat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVVLUcDdzWw

Yeah he told me about it XD

[NeonSamurai]

In the next few days ill get my place built. Ill also adjust the lot so that the road can go straight through with out the bend there

[Krauter]

I think I might make the treck up to Ferreton.. or would it be better to use the subway? Either way, Dowly is it OK if I enter the grounds?

[Krauter]

Well I'm going to be carefull of what I show you lot :haha:

I took Keab and SgtPotatoe today to check out my experimental Imperial Avenger... Needless to say we got creeper ambushed and the experiment received major damage to the wiring.

So we set up a memorial and I now plan on making an emplacement on the West mound outside of the walls to act as a Shore Gun emplacement.

Cheers!

[SgtPotato]

I'm back to the server. It's been a while and I finished building my home in my "big" hole. :O:

[Oberon]

Use the DLR to get to Ferreton. :03:

[Spike88]

Ferreton reminds me of Megaton from fall out 3.

[Krauter]

Ok, the Shore emplacements circuitry is prooving to be troublesome, so I'm putting it on standby until I feel competent and patient enough to fiddle with redwire again. :oops:

Stubborn guy... :03:

EDIT: Oh, and Krauts (I presume it's you) I had to move the wall in your cave dwelling a little bit to get the road through. Oh, and the random bit of modern art on the hill is gone. Oh, and the buried chest was uncovered. All items have been moved into another place nearby.

[Krauter]

Cheers :D

Well, Battery 1 of the gun emplacement is finished. All I ask before you use it that you ask me, or someone who I've shown how to use it..., before you actually use it. Reason being that if you cook off the propellant or the round off inside the barrel it will seriously mess up the experimental cannon above it.

Note: To use the cannons, you will need three TNT each (theres two cannons). 1 TNT as the round, and 2 TNT as the propellant. I may or may not extend the barrel depending on how far you guys want it to shoot.

Minecraft turret:
http://www.djoslin.info/turret.php

Not sure if it will work on our server.

[Task Force]

Hey, spike, i was thinkin of starting up on the other side of the canal near the wall in City 19 (if you dont have anything already planned? )

[Nagy]

Give me a couple of Days TF and there will be plenty of room there.

[Krauter]

I believe in the North West half of the city (North of the Canal) we were planning on building a harbour. However, if you would like to take that Area, I can expand the walls to include the Shore battery and build the Harbor in that little Bay.

Cheers!

We should include a U-boat pen in the harbour:D

[Krauter]

Hehe I think the U-failboat is kind of big for City 19 :O:

Very cool Idea all the same. :D

[Arclight]

I'm sure Dowly would love building another one of those. Full scale, of course.

[Krauter]

:haha: Just so long as it does not combine Flammable objects with a fireplace :haha:

[Spike88]

After falling to my death for the umpteenth time and having to do battle with many mobs at the bottom of the pit in order to reclaim my diamond pick, I've decided I'll finish digging the trench in the hole(you have to see it to under stand what I'm talking about) and start building up instead of down.

[Krauter]

http://humanityquest.com/Themes/inspiration/Comics/images_Microsoft/%20BeanManIdeaLight.gif
:D

[Spike88]

I realize my shack is in the way of the road, I'll demolish it as soon as I get the trench built and start covering over the hole, also I notice the City 19 to spawn line is missing it's carts, so I'll pick some up from one of the other stations and transfer them over.

[Spike88]

Don't think I saw this last time I road the rails, but whoever made this is a genius.

[Oberon]

Keab made the heat ray, I did the rest ;)

EDIT: I'm going to start work on a mobtrap device on the outskirts of town, probably south of my house on the other side of the wall. See how it goes. Never built one before, so this should be interesting. :rotfl2:

If you need any assistance or advice let me know. Unfortunately mob traps do not seem to work as well in SMP due to the spawn numbers being shared.

[Oberon]

Wilco, I think I've got the general idea. It's just implementing it :doh:

EDIT: Hmmm, yeah, that failed. I'll have another run at it at a later date. Until then, Fail Trap one is operational...which is to say, it doesn't work. :lol:

[Dowly]

Finally a use for slimeballs (http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/94-finally-a-use-for-slimeballs/)

-----------

@Obie

I was actually thinking of making identical trap under the future embassy of Ferreton that I have in my town. So, if all else fails, I can pop it up. Might actually work slightly better as there's more players in that area. :hmmm:

And is this bit free in City 19 (NW corner I believe)

[Nagy]

@Dowly, I think it is, but that North wall is moving 50 blocks North in the near future.

@Arc, I can't log in at the moment. Lulzsec are beginning to annoy me...

[Krauter]

I guess I'll build the Harbor on the south side of the Canal then :DL

[Spike88]

EDIT: I'm going to start work on a mobtrap device on the outskirts of town, probably south of my house on the other side of the wall. See how it goes. Never built one before, so this should be interesting. :rotfl2:

The problem with a mob trap is the fact that the hills south of the city are filled with caves, the hole attracts mob spawns, and the nearby mine has areas that were abandoned and spawn mass amounts of mobs.

[Arclight]

@Arc, I can't log in at the moment. Lulzsec are beginning to annoy me...
Beginning to? :lol:

Anyway, don't let them get to you. Bunch of amateurs, best they can manage is a DoS attack.

I'd love some legal repercussions though. Pay good money to see them dragged from their mom's basement. Bet they wouldn't be... lulzing (?) then.

[Krauter]

I was just able to log on...

[Arclight]

Good. Notch tweeted it's all good as well, so let's hope the kiddies moved on.

[Oberon]

Failtrap one is closed.

Task Force attended the closing ceremony which caused some slight damage to City 19s wall which will be repaired soon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2W1Wi2U9sQ

Wall and tree room ceiling repaired. Fail trap one now demolished. Fail trap two will be built at the same site in the near future.

[Krauter]

Right then,

The walls of the Palisade are almost done, all that needs to be finished is digging out the inside and adding the walkways on top.

Also, I've made something akin to a zen garden to the south of my plot (and the North of Geno-san's). If anyone has a birch sapling, please plant it on the dirt tile in the middle of the pond.

Cheers,

Edit: Damn auto correct.

[papa_smurf]

So many possibilities with pistons.

[NeonSamurai]

I just want to know if i can crush critters with it, preferably for wool

[Nagy]

Can't connect to MC. Is lulzsec back for round 2?

[Pisces]

These pistons bring so much more mechanical options. Finally a resetable water gate. :woot:

[Krauter]

Nagy.. I can connect but I'm getting such terrible lag (Chunk errors, reappearing/disapearing blocks, slow msg, slow opening, warping, etc) that I think I'm just gonna.. back.. away.. slowly..

[Pisces]

(Intercom: Arclight requested to customerservicedesk!)

I want to file a complaint!!!!

This is clearly too close to my place (north-east of Spawn, east of Subsim-sign), screenshots:

http://www.gamefront.com/files/20443156/screenshots-contested+building+space+near+Valenorious+place.ra r

Whoever build this:

- Someone named 'Golf' as seen on a sign,

- or rumours during my last MP session (last hour) suggests it was 'Waga', (but that is just hear-say, so I won't blame unless he admits himself.)

He/she:

- Did not consider his neighbour might object to it.
- Did not consult me (private message would have sufficed) to ask if it was ok. (Definate No!)
- Needs to remove it!

The Fence on my front yard, blocking my view to Spawn, is utterly unacceptable.

The overhang with the cobblestone lumps on it I also consider my area. It's not clearly defined, but there is a covered ('secret') tunnel leading there that this person must have noticed the torch on the wall outside near the beach.

I can accept the cubic structure to some extent (it's ugly and hopefully just temporary, but taste is personal). But if you claim a snowy carpet to be yours, then stay of my green grass carpet!

There is a 2 block wide moat that also hampers my freedom of movement. Why, for what purpouse!

The bar/restaurant/hotel/whatever nearer to the Subsim-Sign, if it is of the same person is fine by me. Distant enough from me. Well done by the way!

When did this occur? I have no idea. I do not visit the Subsim Minecraft server often. It could be weeks ago. But again, why? This world is big enough to find a suitable place for yourself. Don't spoil my lawn!

[Edit] I did not put a fence or some sort of border to claim my stake on the server. Maybe that is my bad. I did not want to spoil my surroundings. I figured every one would be descend enough not to build too close.

[Oberon]

And I suggest that whoever does remove it, does not remove it with fire as has been suggested. :03:

[Arclight]

Myeah, was aware of it. Consider the matter solved, the one who did it will not be around to remove it though.

[Dowly]

That is way too close. :hmmm:

[Oberon]

I'll pop over and remove it in a bit. :salute:

[Krauter]

1- Can you post a screen instead of a download? I'm on a train and can't download files.....


2- Who did this? And Arc have you banned this person for only this reason or has this person been a multiple offender?

[Arclight]

2- Who did this? And Arc have you banned this person for only this reason or has this person been a multiple offender?
Why?

[Krauter]

Just wondering, question answered though from online querying in game. (I'm a curious person lol. Tbh I wasn't aware we had a *g-word* problem in the first place.)

[Oberon]

http://www.philipcoppens.com/vendetta_07.jpg

One of us! One of us!!

[Krauter]

LETS GET HIM

http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/gallery/files/1/7/7/8/3/angry-mob.jpeg


With Mod consent of course...

[Arclight]

Can we move on? It's not without consideration, been coming for a long time. I should have stopped it before getting a complaint, so it was going on for too long as it was.

[Krauter]

Aye Aye Skygod Arclight :D

I apologize for opening this can of worms on the forum, I was just curious as I wasn't aware there was a problem in the first place. Anyways, on to more pressing matters...

My damn zen garden tree won't grow :( (though I kind of like it as just a sapling too..)

[TteFAboB]

Yikes, for a long time? Why, I was completely taken by surprise! I had thought the creeper faces had been a good laugh, one flint & steel away from removal too (minus Dowly's).

I suppose Oberon completely misinterpreted my words too, when I told him I was "destroying Valenorious's front yard". I surely did not mean that literally, but as a joke, as I surely did not intend to literally destroy his front yard and let the world know and get banned and thus have my projects interrupted. It may not have been the greatest front yard ever, yes, but it also wasn't so bad as to inspire hatred and move me to destroy it even if it were the last thing I ever did!

But perhaps I am the one misinterpreting. I read Pisce's post as an ironic jest. He can't be speaking in a serious tone, for it would be seriously exaggerated. I laughed all my way through, and then BAM! Got hit by the bus.

Of course it's all temporary, of course permanency requires agreement between neighbors and of course I was hoping for an opportunity to speak to Pisces, though I had to absent for a week and thus had been delayed in such opportunity.

Those fences were a draft of Victoria Park, which would have had ponds and trees but most importantly a safe and lit path between Bethnal station and Valen's land and the Golf course, pending approval by Pisces, which is why only the bare fences were laid and a gravel path, but no trees or ponds: since it's merely hypothetical I didn't put more work into it than would be worth undoing.

Well, that's that. I apologize to Pisces for having caused such unfathomable distress.

I know what it's like to have your view "destroyed", like when Dowly built a ridiculously ugly rail line very close to my tower without asking permission in the previous map.

Or when Oberon "destroyed" not the view, but the entrance itself to my base, removing a chunk of land and exposing my secret bunker to plop down an elevated rail station right on top of it, without asking permission. Or when he stole my wool without asking permission. That's 2 against him so far! Watch yourself, Oberon! One more, one more! You have it coming!

Alas, better luck next time, I suppose.

I must say I never once felt unwelcome or that I had been causing harm. I've always been received with a smile and positive feedback. I suppose I must look like the village's fool, completely unaware that all this time I had been nothing but trouble.

My apologies to all, then. I only bought Minecraft because of this very thread and have but played it on the Subsim server. You are an amazing bunch and at least from my end it has been an incredibly fun journey. Best wishes, and now back to my can.

[Arclight]

Listen, all I ask is that you don't mess with other people's stuff. I don't see how you can justify those things knowing that. I seem to recall an incident regarding nearly burning something down intentionally as well, though I'd need to check to be sure (I'm terrible with names).

We're all old enough to differentiate between 'right' and 'wrong', right? I just can't place any of it under 'right'.

[Pisces]

...

I laughed all my way through, and then BAM! Got hit by the bus.From my point of view, you are misinterpreting. I am quite serious. I added the 'intercom' jest to lighten the load of my message a bit. I don't like to dampen the spirit of this group(myself including). But yeah, not amused by it for sure!

Of course it's all temporary, of course permanency requires agreement between neighbors and of course I was hoping for an opportunity to speak to Pisces, though I had to absent for a week and thus had been delayed in such opportunity.

Those fences were a draft of Victoria Park, which would have had ponds and trees but most importantly a safe and lit path between Bethnal station and Valen's land and the Golf course, pending approval by Pisces, which is why only the bare fences were laid and a gravel path, but no trees or ponds: since it's merely hypothetical I didn't put more work into it than would be worth undoing.It was quite safe from my experience. Torches work miracles! And provide a nice food-source to add.

Well, that's that. I apologize to Pisces for having caused such unfathomable distress.

I know what it's like to have your view "destroyed", like when Dowly built a ridiculously ugly rail line very close to my tower without asking permission in the previous map.

Or when Oberon "destroyed" not the view, but the entrance itself to my base, removing a chunk of land and exposing my secret bunker to plop down an elevated rail station right on top of it, without asking permission. Or when he stole my wool without asking permission. That's 2 against him so far! Watch yourself, Oberon! One more, one more! You have it coming!

Alas, better luck next time, I suppose.Apology accepted. But please undo all your building up until that snow-line/cubic structure. (if you are not banned yet, that's not yet clear to me) Find an empty spot in the world to try things out the next time. Plenty of space around.

I hope you are not implying that you were motivated by some sort of revenge. Or that a feeling of revenge, due to harm done to you previously, caused you to ignore community rules. I am sorry that harm was done back then, but it is no excuse to allow this.


I must say I never once felt unwelcome or that I had been causing harm. I've always been received with a smile and positive feedback. I suppose I must look like the village's fool, completely unaware that all this time I had been nothing but trouble.

My apologies to all, then. I only bought Minecraft because of this very thread and have but played it on the Subsim server. You are an amazing bunch and at least from my end it has been an incredibly fun journey. Best wishes, and now back to my can.Being unaware is mankind's default state of thinking unfortunately. It requires time and effort to realize what is going on in everyday life. So I like to give people the benefit of doubt most of the time until they do. So I also want to make them feel welcome and give them a chance to proof/show them selves. But there is a time when enough warnings have been given (either personally to people, or addressed in general), and then actions follow if you need to learn the hard way.

I'm out of the loop, insofar as banning has been taken place already, so don't read this as a personal attack on you. But it's just my 2 cents on how we keep this bunch in order. Plenty of examples have been given in these 170-something pages of this thread.

...
(I'm terrible with names).
...The trouble is all these different nicknames, shorthand of them, and conflicting minecraft and Subsim profile names. We need a table with who is who, and "also known as".

I suggest we make a table in this thread (1st message?), that hopefully is updated regularly. And a set of signs on the walls of Spawn with Minecraft accounts and Subsim aliases. (Insofar as all visitors of the server have one here)

We could even add a set of coordinates to identify the general location of their main building. Like a bounding box between certain X,Z coordinate numbers.

How do you guys think of this?

[NeonSamurai]

A master map with claimed territory would be a good idea, but ya I also agree with a subsim forum to mincraft nickname list would be handy.

Also if you are really concerned about encroachment into what you consider your territory. Then you should probably clearly mark it off, with fencing or the like (particularly if it is near the spawn).

Placing signs on the surface is reasonably easy. Marking tunnels systems is going to be a bit harder though. It's easy to loose track of distance in them.

[Krauter]

To be honest, a master map shouldn't be needed.. if you crest a hill and see a structure, you shouldn't place or remove ANYTHING until finding out who's building it is and getting their permission...

Unless its somewhere like C19 or Ferreton (assuming we start building there as per Dowly's permission) I don't think that players should be in such proximity that they can spit into each others property...

But that's just me.

Cheers!

P.S: I also go by "The Great One", "Your Highness" and "Your Majesty" :D

[NeonSamurai]

Its still useful to have, for example, some of us may do hardly any surface development, but extensive under surface. There can also be secret bases and the like. Or we may claim more territory than is obvious on the surface.

For example I claim around my death trap the surrounding lake and some of the land.

the f3 coordinates are also useful for keeping track of where you are underground.

Need a quick walk-thru.

And my login name would probably be Philipp_Thomsen or something in that line.

Btw, the server site is offline? I cant access it.

For one, no need to walk as we got a functioning underground (thanks to Oberon) and DLR, so you can visit the main sites risk free.

Btw, the server site is offline? I cant access it.PM Arclight about what IP adress and specific port-number you need. (it's not default) Then enter the IP:portnumber in the multiplayer button page of the minecraft client. Before you can go on it, he also needs to grant your account access. So he needs your complete accountname. Other wise it just denies you. Once entering the world you enter into a big courtyard in a castle. It's protection from the nasty mobs. Climb up the wall with ladders to get out, or use the subway/tube. To the south of Spawn you'll find the community store (2 steel doors behind each other in an airlock fashion, with buttons near it to open), where you can get your basic items. You have to cross a small bridge. Please replenish whenever you are able to.

My advice: don't bother too much yet with hoarding inventory. But I guess a bunch of torches and meat wouldn't hurt to keep you alive. If you get killed by mobs, or lava, you'll loose most of it most-likely. It's so vast it's easy to get lost, or not return in time before it disappears. Just look around the places people have made, before claiming your ownspot. Recognise the places.

Just type "Hi" in the chat line (press "t" while in game). If you get a response, you can bet it is not a bot. ;) But finding where people are is a whole different ballgame.

Got shrooms? 105 in total.

[Task Force]

HA, I had about 200 in a place in my mine.

[Spike88]

I just discussed lava with Arc and we've come to the following conclusion.

Server-Wide: As long as Lava is only damaging, or endangering your own creations, you can do with it as you please.

Now in regards for City 19, lets address how lava starts fires:




TNT, bookcases, leaves, wool, fences, wood logs, planks, and stairs are flammable. If flammable blocks are within about 2-3 meters of lava, they will catch fire. Non-flammable block, including glass, block this effect (but not the spreading of active fire). The ***8220;embers***8221; or ***8220;fireballs***8221; which fly out of lava are purely decorative and do not directly cause fires.



Lava does not ignite anything below it, just above it and to its sides (1.6.6).

So, if you were to build a glass tube with lava in the middle of it, and then build a wooden stair case around it, you would be fine. However if a fire starts because of lava, the fire can spread through glass and other non flammable objects.

Rule wise for City 19: Lava is accepted, but you can not have any flammable substance directly in a 5 block radius of any lava source. If you have a non-flammable block between the lava and the flammable item, you need to have a 2 block wide gap between the lava and the non-flammable block. Also, you can't have any lava in the open, it must be in a contained room. Any room that contains lava needs to have a chest with a bucket of water clearly marked with a sign.

Any lava that breaks the above rules can be put out by any OP even if it's in locked or off-limit areas.

As for punishment, if something burns down because of your use of Lava, you are responsible for it. Your responsibility is to replace any destroyed blocks, and to help with any repairs. Failure to do so will result in a temp ban. Also, any purposefully negligent use of Lava will result in a temp ban.


Fire Hydrants(Sadly, Arc says I can't make them spew fire), I will be installing several fire hydrants around town. They'll be marked with signs, and red wool, and will have a chest full with buckets of water, if you use the buckets of water, please replace them.

[Spike88]

Examples: In each example the stone 9x9, and the sand is 11x11
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/Tetsou88/2011-06-17_224406.png
This is unacceptable, as the flammable object is within 4 blocks of the lava.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/Tetsou88/2011-06-17_224500.png
This is acceptable as the flammable object is more than 4 blocks away.
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/Tetsou88/2011-06-17_224805.png
This is also acceptable as the object is separated by a wall, and is 3 blocks away.

[Krauter]

Question; Does dr_fruitloops (I think its his..) incinerator break the above rule? There are 0 flammable objects near it, however it is in the open... Just wondering as I make regular use of it and if it disappears I'm wondering where I'm going to make my own.

Perhaps we can have a town incinerator near the forge?

Fruitloops incinerator kept lighting something nearby on fire so Keab or Oberon put it out before the rule was formed. But yes, it does break the rule, lava in the open is more likely to spread. If you want an incinerator, just build one in a basement or something. We can have a City 19 incinerator, I just dont know where to put it.

[papa_smurf]

Apologies about my incinerator, I shall remove it at once.


(edit - have removed free bread chest form outside my place, get it from elsewhere now on)

[Lionclaw]

There's bread in the food chest in the storage building. And some spare wheat.. Still quite a lot of ripe wheat to harvest in the communal garden. :)

[Arclight]

Indeed, should be plenty at spawn. I tend to re-sow the lot whenever I'm there anyway.

[papa_smurf]

Any spare seeds I have left over, i'll keep putting in to the seed chest outside the communal garden.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

Spike, how the hell your game looks so cool? The graphics are different from mine, I'm using the standard minecraft stuff. Where can I get your graphic mods? And can you people make me a list of nice mods to have in the game? I have none, neither know how to install it.

Regarding the server, I logged in for the first time yesterday, and I gotta say, you guys done some amazing stuff. Nice subway system. Shame is lags so much.

And I had a little incident when I walk out in the end of the northern subway station. When I stepped outside, I saw a creeper coming my way. As I was just starting the game, I had no weapon, so I tried to run back inside the station, but I didn't manage to click the button to open the door quick enough, and it exploded on me, almost killing me, and destroying both of the exit doors, buttons and some other blocks.

I didn't have anything on me to rebuild it, but I can help fix it once I have the tools.

I haven't played Minecraft since version 1.2, so I'm a bit rusty.

So, I asked around where to go to build, and people said to me to go north or east. I choose north. I had planned to build a copy of the Empire State Building, but since I discovered that the use of Inventory Editor is not possible, I'm not sure I'll go ahead with the project. I did it on my single player mode, but with InvEdit, since mining 500 stacks of cobblestone and converting them into stone again manually INSANE. But lets see, maybe.

Who's hosting this? The server is on 24/7?

[Krauter]

Hmmm a few things,

The mod that Spike is using is probably GeruDoku (or one of its derivatives. I dont have the link handy though, but its found buried in this thread..)

Lag is generally not too bad if you lower your viewing distance and graphics (for me at least).

If you have any issues with creepers blowing stuff up, usually its just enough to let the owner know what the problem is (and try to patch it up a little bit as well..)

Currently, in MP you cannot use any inventory editors, nor any mods that the server does not use (if you have Mo'Creatures f.ex.: it will not run in MP due to the fact that our server does not run it.

This server is 24/7 (except Mondays I believe when Arc may or may not take it down to Run Arma2 MP

Well... Playing 1 hour a day, not every day, the server would probably not be online anymore by the time I'm finished with such huge building. It would be 2013 and people would be playing Diablo 3, me included. I understand "cheating" by getting something you couldn't by normal ways, but this is kind of a "shortcut" for making such thing possible in shorter time.

But hey, it's cool, no need for it. I will just take it slow and build whatever else instead.

Spike Im really interested in the graphics mod. And the lag part only happens in the subway system, all other places run smooth. Im running a G73JH-A1 laptop, so even with view at max distance I get a stable 60fps in single player, so I think it's connection related.

Is there any way I can use a teleport command or something to access parts of the map that the subway don't link to? I don't want to build near anybody's land, don't want to cause trouble. Also, how do I access such map as the pic above?

:up:

[Krauter]

As I said its a gerudoku modpack. Search the thread and you'll find it :up:

Yea lag in the subway system is inevitable. But if you get huge stuttering on the surface just decrease your view distance.

Nope... Admin powers only (and not to be abused..) Just take the subway system or walk and you'll get there eventually :)

Alright, so I started building something today.

I started with a small house, and in the basement a huge vertical shaft, to find some goodies to start.

So far the shaft is 10x10x25, but I haven't found any decent amount of iron. 16 so far. If someone can donate me some iron (or diamond :D) for tools and armor, I'll be very happy.

I heard some barking, and went outside to look, I saw 2 wolves. I ran back inside, catch my one bone, and went back outside, right-clicked the wolf, the bone disappeared. Then I opened my house door and the wolf went inside, so I thought "yey, worked". To confirm, I hitted the wolf, and I was eaten alive. Bah.... :rotfl2:

How many bones do I need to use?

For those willing to donate something, the Thomsen Residence is at 210,65,-100, about 100 clicks north-east of the last subway stop northbound.

I'm not sure how the subway connection is done (player or admin), but if its up to me, its gonna take quite a while to gather the iron.

I'm planning on something huge, and pretty nice aswell. I've never seen anything like it on minecraft videos, I might be the first one! :up:

Right, when you log in you might find yourself back at spawn. From what I can tell not a block in the world has changed, but it does seem current locations have been reset, and I bet it's a good idea to sleep in a bed to reset your spawn.

I'd really appreciate it if everyone had a look to make sure all is well, report any and all abnormalities if any. Made a back-up just before tinkering, so if anything's wonky I'll scrap what I'm tinkering with and revert the lot.

Borough Station has been Greifed. Saw that we were all spawning at spawn returned home. Noticed that the stairs up were missing, some nice explosion holes in the area, Spud's place doesn't look like it's been touched.

Also my paintings are missing. Has Bukkit been put on and they've done something to the paintings or has my pyramid been compromised?

[Pisces]

I changed into a self centered arse and she slowly lost her love for me. While I feel like I've had my heart ripped out, I don't blame her in the slightest. Thats the short version. I'm on a road to a better me. Maybe in time she'll love me again, if not I can atleast say I've become a better person. Only time will tell. Thanks for asking.

Been there, done that. 4 years down the drain because I started to take her for granted. :nope:

Definitely need to check this Mod selection out.. WW1/2 Aircraft (including BF109, Mustang and Spitfire, Panzer IV, Sherman and Team Flags and WW2 weapon? Sounds like a pretty cool beginning of a MC TDM or CTF :D

[Nagy]

Wow it's all go around here.

Spike, I am truly sorry for you, I really hope you get through things, you know how to get me if you ever need to talk/rant.

I really hope that the C19 landmine was a one-off, but I think we can all be vigilant, there were only a few people with ready access to TNT following the TNT party, although that isn't to say that somebody could have made enough for a few mines.

Maybe it's time to disable TNT again.

We have seen evidence of disappearing stairs at Mkeab's place, so that could account for the ones at Borough, and maybe TF's missing wool, but I don't know about missing Diamonds.

[Krauter]

TnT Party :doh: ?

I too hope it was a one off, but I would say hold off and see if we have any more problems.. (Planning a mining expedition and I don't want disabled TNT if I work to get a bunch :D )

[Dowly]

I checked Ferreton too, no diamonds there. Also, mkeab mentioned seeing my diamonds in my C19 chest two days ago. So, someone definitely has taken them. :-?

[Krauter]

Don't have anything missing from my place except for some iron ingots (like 3 so it doesnt matter :shifty: ) and some coal...
:nope:

[Task Force]

I still don't get why people insist on greifing a small private server ran by arclight. I just don't get it.

[Drewcifer]

Wasn't me I haven't played in ages... but I was part of the lynch mob the first time and I'll grab my pitch fork again for you guys!:woot:

Just know that anyone involved in a lynch mob will be temp banned by arc. You lot were lucky to survive the last lynch mob.

[Krauter]

If we sacrifice enough griefers, Sky God Arc will spare us his wrath !

Yes well, I do have a reputation as a fascist to live up to, don't I? :D

Seriously though, let's just keep a level head and keep going. Hopefully the matter is sorted soon enough anyway.

[Krauter]

AND THE PROPHECY IS - Wait what?
:shifty: Fine I guess no lynch mobs... They are a nice community bonding er. Event though :D Anyways, Spike I do hope you're feeling better and you know if you need anything my PM box is desolately empty. So PM away if you need anything. (And don't forget we still need to whoop Sky-God Arc at HOI3 :arrgh!:

Cheers!

Krauter

Edit: Also, Arc when can we expect an updated map on the forums (i.e.: atlas?) Just want to know as I'm thinking of going exploring and want a good jumping off point.

I've put my cards on the table and will just give her time. If it's meant to be she'll come back to me. While it may be hurting now, love is worth the pain. If she doesn't come back to me, I doubt I could ever replace her, as she'll always be my first true serious love, but I guess I'll move on. I'm going to come back to the server just to have something to do to keep me occupied until I know whether or not she'll take me back.

Anyways, sorry to pour my life story out.

All hail Sky-God Arc and his mysterious ways :D

Well Spike like I said I, as well as a good many (if they don't mind me speaking for them) are here for ya. :salute:

Oh come now, you don't have to be sorry. Just do something with it; play a game, get drunk, get angry, whatever you need to do. Take some time to contemplate and you'll start to see things more clearly. You make it sound like it's the end of the line. :-?

In case anyone has wondered whats going on at my white tower, I've decided to rip the wall down and re-build it.

As for the griefing thats been going on, I have not noticed anything missing from my place/dmg to my buildings, but will keep an eye out for any shenanigans.

[Arclight]

Erm... I seem to have broken the Nether, as in the server spawned a new one. Yes, it's running on Bukkit again, which is why the spawnpoints and such were reset. But aparently this didn't apply to the Nether, that was simply overwritten for some reason.

And the real problem is I never realised Nether is in a separate folder, so I don't have a back-up. :oops:

Sorry. :damn:

If she feels the same way you do, she will take you back. If she doesn't, you'd better off without her. Simple as that.

And don't worry so much, you still have 70% of your life ahead of you.

So, General Sherman is officially open to the public. The work is 99% finished, a few blocks to add here and there.

You guys are welcome to visit and to add something you think might improve.

There's a door to access the inside of the tree, and stairs leading all the way to the tree-house on top, with glass walls and 360 view.

Location 200,-100.

Very close to the Hood battleship.

Somebody is also building way up top of the large map, directly north of me, and in east-northeast direction of Arclight/Dylan. Or has that been there all along and abandoned?

[Geno_Mariner]

Spike, the Pines in the community tree farm aren't growing (except one), they need a block height of 9 or so.

[papa_smurf]

Love the latest Yogast:

"good news ive dug my way out, bad news were all going to drown.":har:

[papa_smurf]

Harbour is coming along nicely, although I decided to make it a marina - it looks better that way. Will be adding water gates to the waterway linking the marina to the main canal once they are in the game, so would ask that no-one removes the blocks I have placed either end of the waterway.

[NeonSamurai]

To fix water currents in a lake/river/whatever you need to place blocks one level below the water surface, then dig them back out.

Also FYI water gates will cause currents, unless the depth of the water gate is 1. Currents would trap any player boats in the current.


As for the communal wood farm, maybe poplar would work better (the white barked trees).

[ajrimmer42]

Never had played online either, played for the first time 3 days ago, peace of cake.

Ask Arclight for the IP, then copy/paste the ip into your multiplayer window, and have your minecraft updated to the latest version, 1.6.6.

You will spawn in a safe place, and there are subways linking almost everybody.

Then you choose where to go, and start building. There are community chests with all the stuff you need to start. And if you need something else, you can always ask the people online. I can give you some iron tools!

Enjoy! =)

You do the same online as offline, really. Only difference is that some common sense is appreciated: don't run out with a stack of tnt to see how big a crater you can make (I guess it's alright if it's your own 'territory' and you plan to build there anyway), don't set up shop on someones lawn, things like that.


Righto, so AJ, nick to be disclosed, and Gereke, both on here and in there will be joining us.

[Krauter]

As for the communal wood farm, maybe poplar would work better (the white barked trees).

Thanks for the info on fixing the water currents :) The reason there are some many pines in the tree far was that I tried planting a bunch because I need them for my house. But because they don't grow (you need about 15-20 Bone meals per sapling..) I just started planting and cutting outside in the north.

How it should be?

No I was trying to get a flat area of water, Because the channel is two blocks deep I placed water on the bottom and then the top but it didnt work.

Oh and Papa, there is a bucket in the harbor masters cabin for you to use if you need it.

@ AJ, it's basically all about having fun. If you don't feel comfortable wandering out into the lands we've explored, or exploring your own, come to City 19 (it's shown on the map, but take the subway system instead of walking, its easier) and build a home there until you get on your feet. There's always room! (and if theres not we can just knock some walls down :D )

Cheers!

Krauter

[Nagy]

I know how to work with water. If it's not fixed I might have a go later. Easier to do than explain.

@Pices, my old place is up to the North, it's just an abandoned dirt shack and a crater. I moved because Dylan started building on top of my crater.

Even further North than that is Drewcifer's place, which is quite impressive.

We were the only people to go North, the rest is unspoiled wilderness.

[Krauter]

Is there a subway line going that far north or..?

Did MC get hacked? I can't access their forums or the wiki...

On a side note, how do I craft a Compass?

[Oberon]

Eight metal in a box with redstone in the middle.

No subw-AHEM-tube lines go north at the moment, not many people have dwellings up there that are still in use. Although I think Arclight has a new base right up north which is accessible through the Nether.

[Arclight]

You mean that Nether I broke? :O:

Building my own rail there though. The path is there, just need to finish the stations and lay track.

[Krauter]

OK, just wondering, I want to go do some nomading and was gonna use Keabs abandoned place as my jumping off point but I found something I think I'll enjoy more :)

I will be making maps from where I really start trecking from and when I'm done and end up coming back I'll leave them in a chest so someone can take the trail as well and if they follow it to the end I'll leave/give them a goody :D

[Pisces]

Well if someone dies, then the quest becomes more difficult :haha:

To me it doesnt matter, I just want to get out of the monotony of building the city for a while. If someone travels the same path I took great, if they lose it and have fun trying to find it and find a new path, even better :up:

(By the way, did you know there is a jail half way up the Clock Tower (Big Ben)? :doh:)In C19, or in the real one?

Real one... I made an arse of myself for running across the city to see how it looked only to realize it wasnt built yet :shifty:

[Nagy]

Krauts, just take a supply of wool and wood with you. Make a bed each night, that way your spawn is always close to your stuff.

[Krauter]

I did bring a bed, but I don't really plan on using it.. we'll see when I actually start in the Wild.. currently I'm at my jumping off point so I've got a bed and a chest with some torches in it... I might just leave my spawn there and then leave and explore from there.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

I had this idea today, but its better to ask around before doing it.

http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/1296/annotatedscmapjune2011.png


A railway linking almost everybody, in a straight line, very fast, in order to quickly more from far away places. It would be above the ground, like y=100, or y=80, above mountains, so no problems with mobs. I did something similar in my single player game and its pretty good.

Then players can link their houses/places/cities to the main line, if they want.

So?

[Gereke]

Yep, will be joining you lot in this wacky world of MC.

Going to make sure I find a place away from everyone so I don't accidentally infringe on anyone's space. Getting my bearings at the moment, and cant' wait to get building.

This game is stupid addicting lol

[Nagy]

we prefer to go underground where possible as it prevents things from spoiling the view. Also diagonal tracking is a pain in the rear at the best of times.

[Philipp_Thomsen]

FRAK! I forgot about the damn diagonal thing. You're right!

About the view, it wouldn't be much of a problem, it would be around cloud level, you would have to look way up.

[Gereke]

Welp, I set up east of the spawn castle, in the snowy region. Coords roughly
x -121.39
y 65.62

There is a dirt spire/beacon that I put up temporarily so I can find my way back if the worst happens :)

[Krauter]

We don't really use coords but I'm sure we'll end up finding your place. Its also easier just to make a bed (3 wool over 3 wood planks in the crafing menu) because if you die you'll just respawn there.

Cheers

Krauter

[Gereke]

Made myself a bed as soon as I had a proper house constructed. Currently making myself a "no creeper" exclusion zone around the property. Can't have the little buggers slinking around the place.

[Krauter]

So... the maps I created are not working for me..

[Lionclaw]

Reorganized the contents of some chests in City 19 storage, some stuff were in the wrong chests.

Edited the sign for the room where dirt is to Dirt/Gravel.

[papa_smurf]

Had a rethink on the water gate at the marina, so will build a test version outside City19 at some point to test it out.

There is a dirt spire/beacon that I put up temporarily so I can find my way back if the worst happens :)The correct coordinates to find your place are probably:

x -119
y 70
z -538

The y coordinate value is the height. So you left out a critical part to find your location.
