I'll extend my path to the sanct to it if you want.

No worries, its pretty easy to get to the sanc from where it stops.

Folks can feel free to make branches in the highway (Just try to keep the same style when doing so) off to other distant lands if they want.

Man are my tunnels awesome.

I need to expand Corpses' tunnel from his lighthouse to sanctuary to match mine, so it's less claustrophobic. I hate using his tunnels.

server crash again!

Mel you are crazy

However I'm not complaining about the crazy person who does my work for me

I finally got home, and the server was down
I hope I wasn't reset

i think the servers jst shutting down for a few hours

yep. my shrine remains WIP.

so i updated my minecraft to 1.5 and it seems supercolider boosters are no more, actually it seems boosters in general took a hit. before a single cart could easily go around my track loop with a single booster, now its rare if it does.

i guess ill have to start using powered track now but iill have to work out a way to turn the power on and off when i get to a station. maybe the new pressure plate track will work and a power switch booster to get everything moving in the right direction.

Aw man, our trip to the nether will probably be restarted
Oh well, I have like 52 pieces anyway

A reset to an earlier backup might be a godsend in my case, I thought I was screwed.

At least you didn't lose two days worth of mining progress

Is nether working in multiplayer yet?

So I died, and now can't find where my house was, especially as I can't open the world map.

I can open the map image, if you give me a description I might be able to give you a fair idea of where it is.

server uba crash :(

Ah, college internet. So userful, yet so slow.

cant loog in is it me or is server crashed

It's annoying that cartographer shows wooden half blocks as stone half blocks on the map.

And yay, my obsidian home is exactly like I thought-- a black pimple in the middle of an ocean.

gah why cant i logg in :(

Server's down.

As a side note, anyone who wants to go off far away from sanctuary, create a bed and shelter first thing. First night you have, use the bed, it'll save your spawn.

how long do you think it will take to be back up

No clue! I know it automatically restarts every three hours, so it won't be THAT long.

is server down again? i cnt log on

It is still down, you just need to be a bit patient.

Edit: Now it's up.

It's up, but I can't play on this ISP. Damn college internet! Actually no, I love youuu!

has anyone fiddles with the powered track and pressure track? im wondering which minecarts activate the pressure rail.

Deathklaat wrote:has anyone fiddles with the powered track and pressure track? im wondering which minecarts activate the pressure rail.

All minecarts activate the pressure rail.

server down again?

looks like it.

how long its been nearly 2 hours :/

You must learn patience young forbes.

Then you can finish your armies, of creepers and invade the dakka world.

couple of things:
1. I lost my minecraft password so cant sign in on my main computer, just my laptop which is much slower for games, so wont be on much in the near future until I can reset my password, which is currently broken on minecraft's site.
2. As a result, I cant add new people as easily. If you want to be added to the server now, you must post in the minecraft sticky in this forum, or I wont see it or will forget about it.
3. Do you want me to set the server restart time to every hour and a half? This will reduce the wait if it crashes, but will be more annoying getting kicked off every hour and a half for 1 minute. Vote now!

i'd say 1 1/2 hours.
crashes are more annoying than restart kicks

5400 seconds please.

For every 1 and a half hours of play time there's a single minute of waiting? Seems like a fair enough deal from where i'm sat.

Oops cant do every hour and a half without making my crontab file a bit more complex than I care for, so I'm making it every 2 hours instead.

okay. how about making another nether room? We're almost out and I need a load

Yeah, lego, I took most of the netherrack to bring it to the sanc, and died

Right as I made it to get the stuff, I got stuck and died again, thus 2 stacks of netherrack were lost

You bastard!

lol, not that I care, I didn't know where it was anyway so it's no change for me.

Is the server down for anyone else?

I can't connect.

Melissia wrote:You bastard!

I even offered you some before I left a few days ago, iirc

yer i cant connect either

Dudes, the server being down isn't exactly breaking news. Minecraft's SMP code is horrible, it crashes all the time. Don't have to ask in this thread every time it does...

well im loving the 2 new rails, i have a simple 2 way rail that is taking me from my main structure to my massive underground cave system.

i accidentally found a new system with a cool underground lake.

my station is pretty simple. its a button infront of a stop block, then there are 4 power rail sections and a pressure rail. this lets me push the button to launch and when i come into the station there is enough time for the cart to hit the stop block and drift back a tiny bit before the power goes off and the cart stops.

to keep my carts moving (trains work very well btw) i utilized the max speed/block ratio of 25:1 so every 26th block is a power rail with a pressure rail on either side. this lets me power the power rail for a split second to get the boost and there is no mile of redstone or redstone torch needed.

i really need to work on my massive strip mining of my cave system as gold seems to be the one resource i really need. once again i got lost for over half an hour in my cave system while looking for gold.

as a side note.. turn your sound and bass down when there is a thunderstorm.. i almost went deaf.

server back up

ffs back down again

Wonder if my cobblestone fort's (13x#x13 thus far) foundation will staya fter the lag out.

Someone who obviously has difficulty calculating what amounts of fuel is needed to smelt stuff decided to take it upon themselves to smelt my gold reserves and iron reserves in my own furnaces using my own charcoal and then left it all there and I want to know who it was and why they did it.

So, I just logged in, when suddenly Melissia says 'bad timing hades' and The server crashed. I wouldn't have posted, except the mini message that is next to the logo was 'haha, LOL'

It made me feel bad

[edit] if the crash makes me lose a second diamond pick...

Well, I was digging a tunnel to Gooda's, but then suddenly I ran into Yakface's lava pools. Thankfully not directly into them at any rate, but still.

Some of you may remember me getting the ''Bad video card drivers'' error a few weeks ago. Well I fix'd it!

Expect to see some pics soon....

Just checked out the achievements, looks simple enough and fun at the same time. Any word on whether these achievement lists are for the account as a whole or per world?

BrookM wrote:Just checked out the achievements, looks simple enough and fun at the same time. Any word on whether these achievement lists are for the account as a whole or per world?

As someone who has completed them all, they are account wide however you can't earn them on SMP without getting the first one on SSP according to the wiki.

They are pretty easy really.

Gah!! Confound this slow computer and it's inability to play MineCraft!!

I can only play on my dad's laptop, and at the moment I haven't the money to buy the full game, so I've got to content myself with making a mega fortress of death on classic.

Classic/Creative is also fun, although I prefer SSP and SMP.

gah server crash

I'd nearly finished the bridge to the arena too

i was bout to go mining somewher

the server is indeed down, and I was building the foundations to the commentator's box in the arena...

Ah I wondered what your plans were.

Melissia wrote:Classic/Creative is also fun, although I prefer SSP and SMP.

meh, I'm making a 50 block high tower of power and trying to work out how to make it monster proof in survival

I'm thinking that I'll work towards making it out of obsidian when I get the full game.

That would take a while. normally to make something out of obsidian you either create a mold or you mine it... and with the BEST pickaxe, it takes something like twelve seconds to mine one obsidian block.

ive already made one 60 levels high 14 rooms each with storage furnace bed and crafting bench jst let me know which room you want and ill change the sign in the room to have room number and name

You haven't made it out of obsidian like this guy wants to.

I need to expand my obsidian room into an obsidian keep, with a cobble castle wall surrounding it...

hmm.. maybe only the ground floor out of obsidian then, just to make it creeper proof..

Right, it's easier to make a bunch of buckets and just create a mold of water one level at a time to make an obsidian structure (when water hits still lava, it turns to obsidian, while when water hits flowing lava it turns into cobble).

or pay me to mine the obsidian for you

gotta have protals like my tower look awsum they do

So when I spawn on the server, will I pop up somewhere in the wild or in some maddening construct made to mess with new miners?

In the wild very near to everyones houses and the safehouse.

I think the closest house to you will be mine.

Just look for the massive Lavafall.

So Nick, Chowder and I found some Creeper friends outside the newly constructed arena.

Ok brace yourselves for a wall of images, here's the arena that we've been working on today:

An overall view:



The corridoor to the stands:



The greasy spoon cafe:





The arena:



Commentry box view (poor to ensure appropriately terrible commentry ):



The view from the arena floor:





Fight!:



Night shot of the approach:



Sadly a few repairs are already needed thanks to a creeper or two but aside from those the arena is open for business.

The arena is built (apart from a few pieces of armour), but I want more of a gladiator feel.
Lego, next time you're on could you magic up a zombie spawner behind some doors?
Then have a kind of "release the lion" moment, but with zombies.

Sadly, one cannot summon a "Zombie Spawner".

HOWEVER, he can spawn a Pig Spawner. We could have a kill-it-all-the-fastest contest.

Maybe just a really dark room, but then creepers and skeletons...

Cool idea. Sad you can't create spawners, but I like that idea. We just need 26 diamond. When I get home i'm fighting chowderhead.

You could create a zombie spawner by making a large dark room attached to the arena.

corpsesarefun wrote:You could create a zombie spawner by making a large dark room attached to the arena.

I'll do that once I get home to my laptop.

shrike wrote:

It will also spawn creepers, spiders and skeletons.

You can filter out the spiders by making the exit hole only one wide and two tall or conversely filter out everything but spiders by making the exit hole one high and two wide.

Spiders would be cool

So....

I blow'd up the arena

How'd you manage that?

Yes you did and I suspect I might have just lost all the stuff I had to repair it plus my regular equipment to a crash

match report (duel no. 1)
chowderhead vs shrike

shrike started off well, getting several hits in, weaving past chowder's swings.
chowder managed to claw back slightly, getting a few good hits in before shrike launches another attack.
sensing defeat, chowder digs under the floor and detonates his hidden TNT he planted earlier.
chowder dies in the blast, but shrike stands tall with over half of his health remaining.
pictures from the commentary box will be put up shortly.

What a wussy move
[edit] next fight, let me be the commentator!

no pics for that bout I'm afraid typing and taknig screenies is nearly impossible.

match report (duel no. 2)
cheesepie vs shrike
cheesepie started well, battering shrike to half his health before he got a hit in.
shrike started to play more defensive, waiting for the right moment to strike.
soon, both of them have little health. they clash in the middle one last time and...
cheesepie emerges victorious!
it was a close game, with cheesepie needing medical treatment with one heart remaining.
the leaderboard is as follows:

1st- shrike and cheesepie- 1 each
2nd- chowderhead- 0

Pictures from the second fight, including Cheesepie's special technique which we haven't learnt the name of yet.

Trading blows.




Special new move.


Cheesepie being declared the winner.


The two bowing to each other after the fight.

as you may tell, it was a fair (chowder) game and fun for all. congradulations in winning the first "fistcuff" fight on the server, cheesepie.

From the com box that bout was very entertaining, I just wish I could type fast enough to provide something a little more indepth.

so who's gonna make the arena thread?

The arena is fine, nothing wrong.

On a separate note, the arena is undergoing repairs due to my fight going FUBAR fast.

It was pretty entertaining though, until the creepers...

I expect the arena to be rebuilt by noon tomorrow, if not I want a load of people to come with me to rebuild it.

but but granny bacon died :/

Creepers going mental today, one blew up the tree farm. One spawned INSIDE Not_U's house and did massive damage (i fixed the wood and painting as well as I could), two blew up the stairs to chowders house, one blew up the glass above the vertical mineshaft next to cheesepie's house and one blew up not_u's front lawn.

so that's 10 creeper attacks in one day (including the arena)?!
Fellows, the mobs have countered once more.

And another creeper blew up the link between someones house and choweders.


In other news, there is a pack of wolves in the sanc.

The creepers are massing. Soon they will envelop the entire world.

We must counter. Cut down all the trees, block off all the caves, and place as many torches as possible.

ILLUMINATE THE WORLD!!!

A skelie spawned in my house but my two wolves saved me.
It was because I took down torches as I went from planks to glass

Theres another creeper attack, tried to ninjaplode me. Luckily my armour saved me .

johnscott10 wrote:Theres another creeper attack, tried to ninjaplode me. Luckily my armour saved me .

A Creeper explosion is performed when a Creeper comes to within 6" of its target. Place the Large Blast Template over the Creeper, ensuring the hole is directly above the Creeper's head. This blast does not scatter and models underneath the template take a hit that always wounds on a 2+ with the following profile:

Creeper Explosion -- Range: X -- Strength X -- AP- -- Assault 1, Large Blast, Ignores Cover

Furthermore, units hit by a Creeper explosion must pass a leadership check with a modifier of -D6. Units that pass may act as normal, units that fail cannot act until the owning player's next turn as they become overly paranoid and attempt to build makeshift fortifications with what they can find. To represent this, they are automatically counted as having a 6+ cover save or modifying an existing one by +1 to a maximum of 2+. If assaulted, combat is performed as normal. Whilst in this state of paranoia, the unit is Fearless and has the Counter-Attack special rule.

Wow, i see what you did there and its awesome lol.

corpses, cheesepie and I are going on a quest to find a mountain. having located one (with a huge cave system nearby), we are mining out the top to make a volcano.
'tis the adventure of the deep sea diver, the dwarf and the space marine.

I think the Blood God wants my blood, mined into a cave where 4 creepers laid in wait. I survived somehow while only being shaken lol.

You know you're crazy when you're covering your new base with a fake mountain and you run out of dirt 3% into the mountain building process, yet you still believe you can do it.

are you making it hollow?

Yes, the outer wall is only going to be about 1-2 blocks thick.

wait, so over 1000 blocks, hollow, and only around 3% done?!
this is gonna end up as big as everest...

shrike wrote:wait, so over 1000 blocks, hollow, and only around 3% done?!

If this goes well, that would be my next project; a hollowed-out mountain sort of like Farthen Dur from the Inheritance Cycle. There'd be no peak, only a large ring at the top which pushes against the floor of the heavens (or the roof of the world if you'd prefer to see it that way ), there'd be a large chamber where i'd hope to have a diamond block floor, a long, winding staircase with a trough of water flowing beside it and lots of tunnels leading to nowhere imparticular.

Surrounding it would be rings of increasingly smaller mountains with little valleys. The only way inside the main mountain would be through entrances in the outer ring leading to a web of passages, or through a secret entrance only those who've read Eragon would know about.

It'd take weeks, if not months or years to complete, but the end result would be amazing.

Well, feel free to grab any dirt that I might have on my various chests scattered across my home and the tunnels between here and sanctuary. I don't use dirt or gravel, so they're extra to me.

Day hasn't started until a Creeper blows up my lawn.

Just making a LOG house along the railway out of (what I assume is) Sanctuary. I would be SUPER excited-happy to help make Farthen Dur, I love those books! Inheritance comes out in november too! Theres a good few hours of my life gone


Melissia, I fail to see where your house is, even on my (fairly outdated) map of our world. What are the coord's/ what direction is it in? Dont worry I wont steal your door

Whoever posted that last screen dump of the world (Either yakface or Legoburner) could you please post an updated one, even a labelled one would be sweet! They are so helpful, thanks

Also, does anyone else see the worldhole near the massive penthouse near the big Sugar Cane farm?

Either way my lag stopped and Id love a updated screen dump or is there a way I can get one myself?

I don't think the Sanctuary has a railway. It's at 0,0 if you're looking for it though, generally people will/should give directions from there as it's easier for everyone to figure out.

For some reason I cant stay connected to the server for over 5 minutes anymore... I tend to time out.

Sure thatd be cool, I might make some modifications of my own if thats alright? (eg. glass windows, lava lamps, excetera)

ok wen i do it be there to guide me wat you want

I just lost all my stuff. again.
that's 23 iron, all my ools and over 100 logs down the drain.

Hey mel, you know how i dug into your tunnel?? Gooda dug into mine XD.

Im quite surprised at how many places are connected to the sanctuary O.O

Okay....so now I have a supply griefer. 2/3s of my coal is missing, 10 bars of iron and gold and a stack of wood, plus a diamond and a stack of wool.

Whomever took them, please put them back silently and I won't start trapping my houses. Its an honour system and I'd hate to start having to lock down on my houses because someone was stupid.

It's nothing big, so much as a series of unfortunate events caused me to be pissed the hell off at minecraft.

I just logged on to the server for the first time for a quick look see and as the world arose around me..

Mother of god, you guys have been busy!

Yup, it's been going well.

I guess the first order of business is exploring these structures and from there find a place of my own to bunker down and deploy mines.

Mines? we have enough explosions thanks to the creepers we don't need more.

What I want to know is who planted the forest in the valley near my stone house? You've blocked my view of Mt Nickmore.

BURN IT DOWN!

Who ever this griefer is, you'll get caught, so I'd put it back and apologize so no harm is done

Also, I'm worried now, I need to log on and check my house

Okay, the valley of death has been officially lava-fied, and done to the point of standing lava, no-less (meaning every single square was given a bucket of lava):




woot! It now really is a valley of death. But please, if you visit, do not change the topography of the valley. It is perfectly safe to traverse, but has been left with a few areas that are slightly dangerous, just so it seems like a bit of a dangerous trek should you wish to pass through the valley. So feel free to visit, but please don't muck with.


Also, whomever built the giant cobblestone fortress right next door to my floating lair. I can accept that you decided to partially block my view for some reason feeling the need to build a house really, really close to mine...that's kind of the pleasure and bane of multiplayer minecraft, but you also went and blocked the staircase that leads up the hill which I use to get into my lair. So I removed the stuff you placed blocking the staircase, and I would appreciate if you'd make sure to leave the staircase clear for use. Thanks!

Nice work Yak, it really lives up to the name now.

My goodness, so many wonderful structures and projects. I'll need some time to find a spot of my own. But from what I've seen so far, niiiiice!

Pity you are taking a break mel, it was great playing with you.

Come back soon

I'm also having to deal with finals, tests, presentations, posters, papers, etc.

Yeah I have the same, easter hols were a good chance to relax though.

When I DO get free time I need to work on my castle, finish putting that lava moat in.. if the damned thing isn't stlil bugged.

I can understand that I've got a load of them hanging around, I'll only a chop a few down as they do look good in the valley but I also want to see my giant woolen face.

All my stuff is trapped now.

[edit] Nevermind

I had a look in some guys underwater house (is that legal?) My there was some stuff in there! Didnt take a single thing, but jesus it was a nice house. Would have taken ages to get all the water out of it, and it had solid blocks of gold hanging from the roof and everything! I tip my hat.

Interested to see who the Griefer is, I hope they dont steal my pumpkins...

Was the house glass or was it wood, Jaon?

Just realised you can wear pumpkins as a helmet! Purely for aesthetics! Awesome!

they still have the glitch where if you look at someone wearing a pumpkin helmet it's back-to-front
the underwater house is lucifer's. He payed me and cheesepie to help him do it.

on a more serious note, I've had some wood and coal stolen, as well as a bunch of buckets and gunpowder. I'm now trapping my stuff.

Whomever took them, please put them back silently and I won't start trapping my houses. Its an honour system and I'd hate to start having to lock down on my houses because someone was stupid.

Yup stuff has gone missing out of my chests, as well as someone mined all the glowstone out of my house.

All my stuff is trapped now.

Yeh, my buckets went missing along with a diamond pick, some iron (thoughtful enough to leave 2 there though so only 5 gone), maybe some more but I was mainly looking for my buckets to finish off the Spleef Arena for everyone. Though they left my one diamond alone, so yay I guess...
If they asked I probably would have just given them stuff too.

I'd like it if they just magically reappeared in the chest they were taken from if they thief catches my drift. Though I'd like it more if they maned up to it, apologized and returned the stolen stuff to all the people they had taken from so everyone could just move on. I'm not angry about it, just disappointed someone would be dumb enough to steal from a group of people that would probably just give them what they need to get started if they had the decency to ask nicely. Unfortunately unless they're caught I doubt this will happen.

I'd also trap my stuff, but I guess I'm too nice for it and I live in a wood house so it would probably be more a hassle to me.

I will admit I have accidently stolen a bucket from somewhere as i ended up with 4 instead of my 3 in my chest. I thought it was mine purely because I was had buckets of milk earlier before, if someone realises thay have lost a bucket of milk I will happily return it, minus the milk lol.

I will also admit that you will see me rooting through chests (I like to see how fellow players are faring compared to me) but I will never take anything from them knowingly.

Now this is where everyone thinks im the griefer purely because none of my items have been stolen as of yet. Mainly because my house isnt near the spawn and my valuables chest is hidden.

Everyone has a snoop now and then. I doubt the grifer(s?) actually even post in this forum often.


But alas, I have to confess. I took 4 planks of wood from some random chest. Throw me in shackles

I took some stairs from corpses after giving him five or six stacks of glass

Take all you like from me guys Just leave the glass

I've nicked 4 sticks out of someone's house because I needed torches.

Haha see what I started

I've never taken a thing from anyone.

I'm with Nick.

Even when all I had was sticks and planks I never even let the thought cross my mind.

^
thing is, we didn't have sticks and planks, that's why we took them.
Unless I'm gonna die or something essential, I don't steal.

Jaon, you like it? Did you find my secret room?

Btw Lucifer, somebody griefed your underwater house, it was floded badly. I patched it up where the leaks were with cobblestone.

Not taken anything.
Only thing that has gone from my chest was some cobblestone.

but i don't care. My 'house' is now a mine for whoever wants it.
just remember to use torches children.
or the creepers will get you.

Are you serious?
Lego, can you do something? Will the logs show who is taking items even?
Or show who broke a lot of glass recently?

Well apparently lucifer another users stuff vanished from their chest only to appear in yours...

I haven't logged on since sunday, however, and I can't connect now.
If the logs work how I think they do, it'll prove it.

Some griefed lucifers house?
okay, guys this has to stop.

I presume it is lucifers house, the large underwater dome was partway flooded.

I think lego will be able to sort this out, unless I've been wrong about the logs.

Will someone who knows more about the logs tell me what they do so I don't keep saying 'if they work like I think they do' etc

Questioning starting seriously on this server if there is this much drama going on :(

Can anyone else not connect?

I can't connect either.

As for the drama, it is negligible in game to be honest Ifalna so I would give it a go before making any decisions.

Wait, how big was the hole in my dome? it may have been a creeper...
My house is much darker since I went from glass to wood, I need to add a bunch more lights
(and check my chests for extra/missing items)

It was single blocks that were destroyed in about 4 places, even then explosions from creepers dont damage anything when they are in water.

Creepers don't explode underwater.

They explode but cant damage blocks, only hurt players.

Wow. I knew this would happen. Some lurker must have been like 'herp derp, free minecraft server to grief' posted once to get in, and is now griefing. (or is a fellow dakkaite, who is a mean spirited person)
Or its Mel, but I seriously doubt that, saying it more for the humor. 'off minecraft' eh?

@ Ifalna as long as you build well away from the spawn area and the veritable nest of building complexes set up there, and get into the wilderness, I'm sure you'll not get grieved; I doubt people would bother to treck it to you just to nick stuff when they can to others closer by.

On a brighter note the Spleef Arena is basically completed now. Just needs a few more torches on the top to stop mobs from interrupting, the cover of the stand, the top of the tower to the commentator's box and the last bit of wool left for the game field itself. It sounds like it's a lot to do, but not really besides the wool perhaps.

Hmm Thisgriefing seems to be getting worse, May i suggest that we do not add people who have just joined so they can get a place on our minecraft server.

This should be a Dakka member server and have a decent number of posts, nothing unreasonable ofcourse.

My new crib is far out in the wilderness If you find me, well you'll find me there isn't anything special at the moment.

It wasn't you it was lord cheesepie.

To be fair, the griefing isn't major. They aren't blowing massive amounts of stuff up.
But the small things are more annoying.
Somebody made a waterfall outside my house. Really annoying.

Would it be possible to only whitelist players who have made meaningful contributions (I do a lot in OT, but I also have a presence in the 40k and WHFB forums as well as a small one in P&M) to Dakka?

If the griefing keeps happening we know it's a player who's seen as a contributor (tightneing the net even more) and it would also force any current griefers to brush up a bit on their wargames and hobby knowledge (it is a wargaming and hobby forum after all) before they can do anything more, which would be a lot of effort for very little in the way of gain and might dissuade them).

One or two people may need to contribute a bit more (but as I said, it's mainly a wargaming and hobby forum) but at the end of the day, it's going to save people a lot of hassle and would prove that you're at least somewhat dedicated to the smooth running of the server.

Only drawback I can see is running through the whitelist and checking over everyone's profile/running through their posting history, which could be quite a large task.

Either that or whomever keeps exposing their lack of social skills and obvious hatred of people for some strange reason or other by striving to inconvenience people because they're so anal that they don't wish to leave their mum's basement, can confess and find another server to plague.

Someone took my giant painting T-T

This is really irritating.

This +1

It'll take some time to go through and check everyone, but, I believe it will make the fellowship inside the server stronger (most dakkaites become friends after a while of actually contributing, etc)

I second avatar's idea.

I've been a member for about 3 years and post regularly so I'm safe

I can personally vouch for GorillaWizard, Forbes and Nick. Seeing as I know them in real life.
But i cam more than willing to go through some peoples profiles.
And if we divided and conquered it wouldn't be so muhc of a challenge.

Could you three have a talk with forbes about his apparent lack of literacy, it is getting annoying.

We could check people's profiles ourselves, but our interpretations of a 'contributing member' may differ from Yak's and Lego's, and theirs in turn may differ.

It's only got one drawback, but it's quite a large one, and since Lego and Yak are admins, it'd be their word that counts, and they'd probably end up going through everyone's history anyway to ensure we reached a similar conclusion.

We can try but I doubt we'll get anywhere he's a bit set in his ways....

Oh and Lorna you forgot about Gooda.

There is a guy whose only post is asking to be whitelisted, possible griefer?

He's like the third post on the whitelist thread

Oh yea.
My memory is shot after spending three hours painting up one of my sang. guard with my version of gold.

But I will have a chat with forbes and murder him if he doens't agree.

I didn't want to say anything to him, but it really is driving me insane...

creepers really are attracted to the arenas...

It the amount of people having fun.
They feel the need to nerf it.

Shrike a creeper explosively came onto me in your secret brothel room.

Guys, any tips of how to make a decent Pagoda?

I'm going to make one up in a snowy biome on a mountain top. Unless if give up

Lots of wood, red wool "panels", etc.

The griefer cannot be me. The logs will show that I am not on at the time of the grief.

And anyway, everyone trusts the co-commander of a group of Dakkites dedicated to taking down the moderators.

Right?

well good day my fair peoples how are you this fine evening, i have to say i have had some diamond and iron blocks taken from my chest in my tower but i have started to set the traps and it cant have been me as i have been helping gooda quite a lot and he suggested a delightful idea of getting rid of mobs a purge system in your room of goodies and if you catch the thief in your room flick a switch or button to activate dispensers of arrows to 'purge' the room

Lately I have been getting a "Connection Refused" Connect error when trying to log on.

HAvent been able to get on at all today, any ideas?

Oh, when it crashes it gives that message.

Minecraft's SMP mode is buggy.

I haven't been able to go on.

Methinks Lego is searching the logs to check for a possible griefer.

I've been on a few times today so I doubt it, probably just the god awful SMP code to be honest.

I've also been on.

I'm paying diamonds for loads of roses/ red wools

Someone having stole from you probably points to me, as I live literally 2 blocks away from you. But it wasnt, check my chest, kill me if you must, I have nothing to hide.


Also Brother Lucifier, it was a very nice secret room I suggest a metal door with a redstone switch so others cannot stumble across it without opening the metal door first.

Personally when it comes to hiding my valuables I just use the piratical precious material concealment process.

Chowderhead wrote:I haven't been able to go on.

OK everyone needs to take a bit of a step back here. The Dakka Minecraft server is something that has been set up as a fun side project. Lego is plenty busy dealing with his family and then when he gets the time working on improving Dakka is the goal...taking time out to figure out if or who is 'griefing' Dakka's MC world is ONLY going to happen if someone goes off the deep end and starts destroying things wholesale.

If you are getting annoyed at small changes happening to things you've made or the occasional piece of kit gone missing, then perhaps multiplayer MC (or at least this server) isn't right for you?

Mutiplayer MC is incredibly glitchy and server crashes frequently cause some items to go missing from your inventory and/or chests and can even cause work you've done in the world to be eradicated. Does that mean there aren't people running around stealing things occasionally or mucking about? Of course not. The whole deal with Minecraft is that you can muck about with the world. But just because someone takes something from your chest or floods your underwater house does not mean they are necessarily a 'griefer'...they can be unaware of what they've done or just not see it as a massively big deal.

Would it be nice if these things didn't happen? Of course, but that's the nature of multiplayer MC opened up to a community. If this was something that we were doing to generate money, etc, then spending a bunch of time and resources going after potential 'griefers' would be a bigger goal, but in this context, you're going to have to deal with it.

If someone really causes havoc then yes, Lego can look through the logs and try to find them and expel them, but please stop complaining about every single thing that gets changed you don't like...I mean, its fine to grumble a bit, as long as you understand that its just the nature of the multiplayer beast.

But if you KEEP complaining about small griefing and KEEP complaining about the server being crashed (which cannot be avoided due to Minecraft's code currently) this is something that we can and will pull the plug on.


Finally, if you are tired of people stealing your stuff please HIDE it. Build a chest, bury that chest and hide your valuable items. Building traps does nothing to prevent people from pilfering your stuff. Sure they may get killed by your trap, but then they'll just come back after respawning and look to dismantle whatever trap you've made to see what it is you're protecting.

The other things traps do is to punish people who are genuinely just coming over to see what stuff you've built. So by building a trap not only do you not discourage potential 'griefers', you also ruin the game for honest friendly people who are interested in the work you've done.

i know it wasn't you jaon as this happened a couple of days before you moved into my tower so don't worry and reason online crashing a lot, theres a message on minecraft login bit which states something like the reason MP is being like it is is because of them play testing new things online so its affecting near enough everyone


Automatically Appended Next Post:
and i have put a sign up room below were i keep all of my valuables saying danger do not enter with out my permission and another sign saying at top of start near enough right before the trap saying you have been warned and i only put a couple of arrows in the dispenser to ward of intruders not to discourage people looking around my tower and theres a back entrance to my tower and if you look carefully enough you can figure out how to open the door

EDIT

Hmmm

To remind you that in the end, it doesn't really matter.

I've struck out into the beyond, it is safer there and hopefully there the witch hunt won't come.

Doctadeth wrote:I find you guys friendly, but to have people get upset at me because I am trying to stop getting hurt....

I feel you are the one thats illogical.

I am trying to help, not hurt.

I'm certainly not upset!

I'm just trying to make sure you guys understand a few things about the Dakka MC experience.

1) It is a whim and can potentially be shut down at any time, so keep that in mind.
2) Multiplayer MC is inherently glitchy and you can and will lose stuff due to this and not be able to log on from time to time. There is nothing we can do to stop this from happening, and it is not our fault, minecraft MP is currently flawed.
3) A certain amount of small griefing is going to happen in any community MC server and you have to be prepared to accept it. If you have valuable items you are afraid that others may steal, your best bet is to but them in a hidden chest.


If any of the above 3 things really bothers you, then you should really consider about whether this is the right type of MC experience for you or not.

There is no really simple way to hunt down and ferret out people doing small bad things. Regardless of whether you think some gold stolen from you is a big deal or not, from the perspective of being able to find out who did that, it is a small deal. If someone destroys Dakka town or goes on a crazy destruction rampage we can reverse that, catch the person and kick them out, but for smaller stuff, you just have to suck it up and accept that just like in real-life, some stuff is going to happen that you're not entirely happy about.


My suggestion to everyone is, don't 'focus' on catching on what may or may not be a griefer, as that will become your focus and ruin whatever experience you do have. I suggest that you just hide your valuables, accept the fact that there's always going to be a little patch-work upkeep you have to do on your existing stuff and move on and enjoy yourself!

Now, on to something more fun:





We Need YOU to Join the Dakka-town Creeper Defense Force (DCDF for short, because gamers love their abbreviations)!


Where is Dakka-town?

A: Dakka-town is on the Dakka Minecraft server centered around 'sanctuary' at coordinates 0,0 (x & z coords). Its exact borders are currently undefined, but you kind of know when you're in or out of Dakka town based on the amount of human construction around you.


What does the Dakka-town Creeper Defense Force Do?

A: The DCDF is primarily responsible for two things:
1) Fixing the damage caused in Dakka-town by nightly Creeper attacks.
2) Placing torches everywhere in Dakka-town to prevent future Creeper attacks from occurring in-town.


How do I become part of the DCDF?

A: Sign up in this thread by posting that you want to join the DCDF...then put something in your Dakka signature that says you are a proud member of the DCDF. Being a member of the DCDF is primarily an honor-based system. It is up to you to stick to the high ideals behind being one of the few, the proud, the re-builders.


What does being in the DCDF get me?

A: besides the immense pride of being a defender of Dakka-town, there is also a potential financial reward. Anytime I sign on to the Dakka MC server and visit Dakka-town (which won't ALWAYS be the case, sometimes I spend my whole session out of town) and find that the town has been rebuilt leaving no visible Creeper scars, I will 'pay' all members of the DCDF that are currently online at the time with a diamond, or comparable item(s) of their choice.


What do you mean when you say 'no visible Creeper scars'?

A: Basically, I mean that you go through and take dirt (or other naturally appropriate material) and fill in any craters left by Creeper explosions...and then go place a bunch more torches to keep trying to make Dakka-town as well lit at night as possible.


Do you want to know more?

If so, post any questions about the DCDF right here in this thread!

I agree with yak on both accounts.

I for one do not believe there is a "griefer" or whatever you guys want to call it, I think people are having accidents or taking some stuff or playing jokes or whatever and everyone is making a big deal out of it.

Chill out people. A diamond was taken? So what? use an iron pick for a while or barter to get another one because crying about it will get nothing done.

In the end this is a game, if you attach such strong emotional feelings to something as simple and whimsical as minecraft you should probably go outside more.

The DCDF is also a good idea, we need to get rid of tree's around dakkatown and put up more torches.

I'll join, I already repair the damage in the general area I go around in anyway. So much un-needed dirt at my house.

Perhaps we can also help save people trapped in their house by a creeper? They just ask and then the DCDF run up with bows and save the day, like Ghostbusters but for Creepers.

I will willingly hunt down large groves of trees.

Okay, taken down my old house as the new one is looking ready. The moat fill-in is long-term. Might not even do it just because its good as a mob trap (got 3 creepers caught there today)

Mob defense on the fort is also another big issue, Spiders have gotten over the water defense and fence, so I may have to overhang the water defense and refence on that,

I am having a look at my block chunk outputs for the areas underneath my fort, so I can mine well.

EDIT

I apologise to you guys, and esp to server manager. Seems after a 3 hour research of minecraft forums that people in Oz are getting the raw end of the server deal, so its all good. What I've come to expect anyway from online games really (dragcave doesn't even let me log in)

I am probably going to leave dakka minecraft for awhile if nobody really wants me to stay..

I volunteer to expand dakka-town's torches every time I'm in the neighborhood.

I already basically do that anyway!

Lorna wrote:I will willingly hunt down large groves of trees.

If you go near my forest you will die horribly many times over..... If anones going to take that bad boy down it's going to be me using a flint and steel. In the mean time I'll work on adding more torches to that area.

I'm more than happy to help the DCDF in ridding the server of the creeper menace.

@Doctadeth I've got no problems with you or anyone else being on the server, the more the merrier IMO.

Forest fires aren't a great idea nick, I don't know just how powerful this server is but when they get going fires can really screw things up with huge lag.

If you attempt a forest fire, make sure it's controlled and nowhere near my treetower.

doctadeth, you are fine and welcome. Aussie players do get screwed on the server lag, but as minecraft improves its code it should be less of a problem.

I see my name .

Ouch, got stuck in a block respawn while mining and now can't relog, hoping it will resolve itself in a bit.

A tree tried to kill me this afternoon when it spawned next to me.

IF anyone has any spare moss stone, I'll organize a trade for them.

BrookM wrote:A tree tried to kill me this afternoon when it spawned next to me.

I lost 5 iron that way. Not fun.

Sotty to break in, but do anyone know how to create a server? I want to create a world with my friends, but i don`t understand the IP part. I have the free version btw, can you play online with that, or do you have to buy the premium?

You have to buy the paid version to go online.

Oh, alright. Carry on!

DCDF please.
as many of you know, I may have had the worst luck with creepers on here, with my house being repeatedly assailed and the arenas which I help build being constantly bombarded. I will repair any damage done and hunt down creepers provided I have a sword and decent health. One day I shall go on a spiritual journey out far away hunting creepers. I shall return with gunpowder and my vengeance done.

and the damage dealt in the arena:

After a short exile into the snowy mountains I've decided to build a little vacation home closer to the sanctuary.

edit.

Also, whenever I see the thread I keep reading Minecraft Forever due to the OP's name.

More creeper damage to the arena? I was on earlier and spotted some but that's far beyond what I had to fix.

due to lag, a respawning dirt block pushed me into the lava while making repairs.
All my items were okay, my 2 stone picks, my cobble, dirt, glass, sand, string, wool, pork...except for my diamond sword.

Oooh, that's gotta sting. I decided to bug out for now, I've been spending too much time on this wonderful server today. I'll give it another go tomorrow and see if I can finish my vacation home.

yes indeed.

I'm tempted to make an arena with the pit completely black to fight mobs.

Super, I'll find me a proper skin with monocle then. Or I'll threaten my brother into making me one. I'm thinking Rogue Trader or Imperial Noble.

If the pit is pitch black to allow spawns, how will the observers see.

Dont do pitch black, just use redstone torches.

Light level is low enough to allow spawns, but bright enough to barely be able to see.

Would it be proper etiquette to douse the winner with bread and other foodstuff after the fight? Or should I just stick with flowers?

I dunno, the winner would probably need bread after the fight... Maybe a pork chop or 2.

I'll have a food stand, much like granny bacon's greasy spoon or grandpa pork's dirty fork.
It'll be similar to the original arena, just with iron doors, one competitor and no lights.
the light isn't pitch black as the audience's area is lit. if you're in the night standing by some torches you can still see stuff in the dark.

Give these men cake, I like where this is going.

we'd have to have around 5 minutes prep to get the milk, eggs and such, but yeah.
since it's a schoolday tomorrow, work will be started tomorrow evening. All I need is a bit of iron, a bunch of wood, some glass and some food.

lol cake and granny bacon reminds me of when honeydew returns to granny bacons shop after she goes zombie he cries and eats cake

What have we told you again and again about asking that question?

what question? granny bacon?

Ones taken using the f2 key are found in the screenshot folder, the minecraft folder is hidden so enable hidden files to be shown up in the search when you run it.

here some i made earlier

Push F1 to get rid of the text and UI before you take a screenshot...

okay didn't know i had to do that

And I can't get on, sorry wolf but I'll have to leave helping you out till tomorrow or else I'll fall asleep at the keyboard.

LoL no worries man see you another time

I know this is a weird request, but here it goes:

Because the server reset, and I was moving, I lost everything in my inventory. My bed is gone, my house is basically stripped, and all my inventory is gone. I was wondering if I could get a few of my important stuff spawned for me?

Chowder, I can give you some of my extra stuff if you want,
And feel welcome to move in to my pagoda, that is once I/we get it closer to completion. Feel free to stay in my dome if you need a place
