I finally got my hands on some TNT (at last :dead:) and into the Hell world.
I put the TNT at the back wall and set it off. Then I jumped back three times, first time landed safe, second time landed on the same level, third time jumped backwards right over the edge, flew maybe 20-30 blocks down and fell in a lake made out of lava and died within seconds.

I was expecting rolling hills that the normal world has, but hell no rolling hills they just end.

I was tricked :nope:

Fantastic, and good choice of music :yeah:

Wow...the explosion even knocked a chunk out of the mountain you were standing on. Well, IIRC it was about 3093 TNT, basically the tower that was visible was half of it, it was five stacks of TNT from the bottom of the map right up to the top.

What can I say...must have been those years of watching Fred Dibnah programs :salute:

Because I can't work on my mountain due to my ISP dropping me every 5 minutes, I've decided to write this out.

The other day I stumbled upon a list of things Notch is going to eventually add to minecraft found here (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49256) the source is this MP3. (http://minecast.zuriki.net/blog.php?bid=6) Now I know this is all purely hypothetical and notch can change his mind, but it got me thinking about what Minecraft, especially Minecraft online could be.

Imagine logging into the server and spawning inside a town created by the community. Now you do not have to live in this town, and can build your hut/house/fort/etc where ever you please, but sticking together brings the benefit of protection from mobs. Mobs which will be more aggressive and harder to deal with. And also makes it easier to trade resources.

With the addition of markers, you'll be able to mark land and choose who can build/dig on your land. Now this will tie into the economic aspect; Maybe you find land that is perfect for growing wheat/other produce. You claim it and make it so only you can grow/harvest on this land. Throw in the fact that players will need to eat, and you now have a valuable commodity that you can use to trade for metals/building materials/weapons/furniture/beer/clothes/coins/etc.

The exact value of materials will all be determined by the community. Some sort of morality or law system could be set up by the community, although trading will probably go something like this:
"The trading in the game is probably mostly gonna be just you drop one thing and the other guy drops another thing. And if you don't get your thing you hit him with your axe."

Parties can be formed to dungeon raid and fight bosses. The loot gained would be up for debate. If someone decides to be an ass and keep everything, the other players can turn on him, and loot his carcass.

Also with the possibility of Siege Weapons/Cannons different communities can form, and do battle with each other.

Anyways, this is my over active imagination kicking in. But Minecraft could essentially be the best MMO out there(especially without the monthly subscription)

Oberon

11-02-10, 12:04 PM

I was just thinking (it happens occasionally and I try not to make a habit of it) but the next thing that we could use in MC?

Shields.

Four blocks of wood or stone in a square for a small shield ala:

http://www.bueker-gmbh.de/pics/l/alias3/P24-viking-norman-wooden-round-combat-shield.jpg

And six in a rectangle for something like this:

http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/800px-roman-legion-at-attack-31.jpg

Or this:

http://www.greydragon.org/trips/Hastings/hastingscavalry066.jpg

And then if you craft it with a sword then you have sword and shield, left click to swing sword, right click to bare shield. Obviously the size of the shield and the material it's made out of would affect how much damage it absorbed before breaking.

:hmmm: Probably already been spammed to Notch by five thousand other people, but it's the first I've thought of it. :yep:

Spike88

11-02-10, 12:56 PM

Shields would be great. I know Notch wants to add Spears and some sort of faster mount.

11-02-10, 03:57 PM

So I've done a bit of wandering and I think I know the location of a few landmarks so I've tried to map them. We're pretty spread out on this one.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a380/keab42/Subsimservermap.png

*Edit*

Forgot to include a direction indicator on this one. North is the edge that runs Top Left to Bottom Right. So Oberon is East of the Spawn, and I'm North of him.

Also I think Joker is building something somewhere South of Spike, and there's some activity going on near the spawn at the foot of Mt Admin.

Spike88

11-02-10, 04:36 PM

Ah thanks for that update. I nearly extended a mine towards Angus's mountain, I'll avoid that now.

I explored North and West of my place so an updated map should show us some more places to expand. There's a floating mountain top that would make a nice floating fortress.

11-02-10, 08:33 PM

Minecraft's charm is it's simplicity yet it's complexity, I really hope Notch keeps the core gameplay as it is. No clan support, no land claim system, no economy system, nothing. Make the players use their imagination and force them to make their own rules and systems.

Notch said there is the possibility for a flag to claim land. I personally like the idea as it can stop griefers when Admins/ops are not available.

As for the economic system, I was talking about a system that we set up ourselves, not something that's dictated by the game. We choose how we'll barter for different supplies.

JokerOfFate

11-02-10, 08:52 PM

I think the economic system should be based on need rather than a set system. Say I need wood and spike needs Iron, I give spike some Iron for some wood and there you go it's as simple as that (Ok that's a lie it's not all that simple but as far as I see it'll work)

What's all this about land of Joker, that land belongs to Arc I just parked my base there :DL

Spike did you really hate that gift sooo much that you blew it up with TNT :o

Spike88

11-02-10, 11:31 PM

I am Spike, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to vast amounts of flat land? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... to level a damn mountain.

After 4 days of work, several tools, 601 units of TNT, god knows how many units of sand/dirt/stone/gravel, and 1 horrible bioshock reference, Mt. Doom has been leveled.

There is some serious treeage in some of those biomes, it's actually quite annoying, as you can't get anywhere quickly for dodging/zig zagging the trees. I tried so hard to find a nice empty desert biome but my SP map just got huge with nothing but trees. Currently now a 24mb map before all my tunnelling. *sigh*

Link a paypal account directly to your bank account using your routing number. Your routing number can be found on your checks.

If you don't have a Bank account, depending on what country you are in most stores sell paypal prepaid cards, or mastercard/visa prepaid credit cards.

If neither is an option. You're screwed :P.

I've held a PayPal account for years but when I tried to order Minecraft last time I was asked for credit card information. :-? Assumed that Notch wanted the added layer of protection.

This may have been temporary. You should try again with your paypal account.

Yeah, fuel or gasometer tanks. Nice pics by the way. :up:

The history behind those tanks goes back to the days when we used to use coal gas, the tanks were designed to rise up when coal gas was pumped into them and then sink back down when it was used up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder

Looking up "Gas Holder" in google would have given be a better image than looking up "Cistern". :haha: Wouldn't have had to taken the pictures

Also as a note, the two jets are actual jets that have been stripped and weighed down(Damn Hurricanes). Some people think that they are just models.

And the blurry picture(which looks really nice in my opinion) was because the car was in motion.

Working on boats and minecarts in SMP now. Only riding them left to add!http://twitter.com/notch/status/1988458214072320

Info on tomorrow's update:

An update is coming tomorrow

First of all, most “mods” that add new features to the game are in a very gray area legally, and I frown upon them. Most of them add really cool new features, though. It’s highly likely that something like the bridge mod will make it into the game.
Now, the update.
I was going to release this today, but it’s 6 pm already and my fiancée turns 30 today (I love you, ez!), so I’ll go eat a nice dinner instead.
Here’s what’s already done for the update:
General fixes:
* players and mobs in lava or fire no longer spam sound effects
* getting hit with a higher damage while recovering from a smaller one now works as intended
* lava flows further in the Nether
* zombie pigs eventually forgives
* added support for custom texture packs
* fixed duplicate buttons when resizing screens
* zombie pigs and ghasts no longer get hurt by fire or lava
* fixed volume sliders now saving properly

Multiplayer fixes:
* hellworld=true no longer overwrites old save chunks. Player positions will still break if you switch it on a running server, though
* boats are now visible to other players
* minecarts move nicer
* fishing kinda sorta works, but needs more work
* sheep and cows look like sheep and cows now
* buckets work now
* fixed stairs being really difficult to destroy
* increased the timeout before “Took too long to log in”
* made it possible to ride carts and boats (pigs should work too..)
There are a couple of bugs left, like it not being possible to steer the boats yet, and other players not having the riding animation when riding. Fishing also works horribly poorly. Once I’ve fixed that tomorrow, I’ll release an update for both the server and the client.
As for the texture packs, it’ll look something like this:
http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lbmn2ikmut1qzb7ox.png
Later on, the server list and world selection in singleplayer will have a similar look to this.

You might want to poke the server. Blocks are behaving weirdly. They don't register that you've destroyed them unless you collect the block they leave behind. Otherwise they just pop back into existence.

Yeah I've closed anything that soaks up resources and Spike tells me the lag is the same. About 40% memory used, 15-20% CPU and no other network traffic so it's not an issue on this end.

Excluding the server software itself, of course; been rather laggy since his big halloween update.

What exactly do you do/what is the point?

Reading the site wasn't very insightfull so if you guys could give me the inside scoop on what this game is like that'd be awesome

Right now the goal is to survive through creatures at night(although this does not apply to multiplayer), and build structures. Pretty much all there is to it at this point.:D

Eventually there will be an overall objective.

It's on Alpha(the pay version). If you get Alpha when you run it and log in, you'll see Multiplayer, click it and enter the IP 77.166.66.44:26656, and you'll be in the server.

Set up a double door/hidden wiring tutorial, and several logic gate tutorials over by Ardonis(which will soon be getting a rename).

Feel free to play with them, just don't remove or destroy anything.
Bright red wire/lit redstone torches mean that they are in the "on" or "1" position. The opposite is "off" or "0".

My "And" gates appear to be different than what the minecraft wikipedia says, but according to my understanding, they follow the definition.

Riding minecarts causes new terrain to not be loaded. Guess that applies to boats as well. :hmmm:

Minecraft is a game about harvesting blocks and building things with them; and at the moment there are very, very few types of blocks to make use of.

It's already good enough to be played, though, if you do like building games.

But if building is not your thing, then indeed there's no point in Minecraft...

Theres the exploration of a randomly generated world that everytime you restart guarantees to never ever be the same as well as the freakiness of (not so) scary monsters chasing you around said randomly generated map :)

The few hours I’ve been able to work today, I tried getting SMP Health as complete as possible. It will be released early next week.
Here’s the status:
* Send attack network data: DONE
* Add the ability to attack other entities: DONE
* Implement falling damage: NOT STARTED
* Implement respawning for dead players: PARTIALLY DONE (there are bugs with the player keeping the current location in some circumstances instead )
* Make eating food regenerate health: DONE
* Send health updates to the players: DONE
The “attack entities” code is done on a general level, so you can hurt animals, monsters, boats, carts and even other players.
There are a couple of other tweaks in the next update as well:
* Fix leaves. Again: DONE
* Optimize the lighting update slowdowns: STARTED
* Make players riding carts or boats a long way receive terrain updates: DONE
* Fix the block re-spawning bug: NOT STARTED
* Add “pvp” toggle flag to the server settings: NOT STARTED.

Considering this map hasn't been around too long, we will stick with it a while longer.

For a new map, I'm thinking of either disabling mobs the first day, or start off on a prepared map; meaning just a basic shelter near spawn with some torches to get started. New player spawning in the middle of the night with anything 'safe' 5 mins away would get murdered in a heartbeat. Several times.

Right, migrating server to dedicated machine is taking longer than anticipated. Server consists of a large number of small files, which is something the traditional mechanical HD has trouble with. It's moving 300MB of data at about 100KB/s at the moment.

Think I might get a fast flashdrive and copy it there. Then migrating the server would be plug&play, rather than a 45 min ordeal.

I'm creating a webpage for our server at the moment. I'm not too proficient, so it's learn as I go, but I'm thinking a group picture would make a nice background for the index page (Spike's idea). I'm also thinking of making pages for individual players, where they decide what goes on there. Bit of text, screenshots of projects, that sort of thing. I might couple a not strictly Minecraft-related FTP server as well, though I don't know what to host on there. Maybe the maps and backed up worlds, maybe popular texture packs, etc.

And a donate button. Not that I expect it to be used, but obviously it would be appreciated. I say this now so it doesn't come as a surprise, like a sneaky way of sending a message. :-?

(at the same time I'd suggest to hold off on donations till Januari, should you wish to contribute. Electric bill might not be so bad after all)

I can assure you that I'm dedicated to running the server for as long as it is practical, meaning that as long as we have players, it will be there. Given that I can afford to do so, but I don't think it will be that problematic. (again though, we'll know in Januari)

It will be a while before I get it sorted, but we could get that picture done. Was thinking Sunday, 22:00GMT. Feel free to comment or make a suggestion.

In other news, the District Line is now branching out from West Ham, heading for Plaistow which will be next to TFs fortress line I think, from there I might curve it left and head for Spike...we'll have to see how it goes. :yeah:

Advice to everyone though, start putting around torches like there's no tomorrow, make sure everything is lit up, I had TF go through the tunnels last night and put down more torches because when I moved the last map to SP when we started this one, I had spiders spawning in the Greenwich foot tunnel... :damn:

Still...it would be a new cause of delay for LUL:
