Tell him to spend a while on dakka, and that he can join when he has contributed a bit.

@corpses: Yeah i guess so.

@shrike: hes not on dakka so he cant request to join yet but he does guardsmen and is starting tomb kings so he will probably join for more than just minecraft.

Honestly, 5 iron ingots isn't much. Whenever my friend and i go sperlunkingn(cave exploring) we usually come back to base with at least a stack of 64 iron ore each sadly, Icannot join the dakka server... My minecrafts be broken...
But still, our little 'motto' now is "go looking for diamonds, find gakloads of iron ".
at one point we ended up with 35 diamonds. Then i made everyone in our little clan picks and swords and we're down to 20. I'm willing to put ALL my suits of armor on your little bet, and i have quite a few, diamond and iron!

Also, add aspects of Mo' Creatures. The game world needs more animals to populate it.

Warn everyone about it so they can build to defend, or just flee to a sanctuary, then unleash an orkish horde. Gives you things for inventive traps to dismember/suffocate/crush/lava.

how about I travel to around 2,000x 2,000z, dig around until I find a dungeon, and then dig out the area, making a castle-ish place and unleash the mobs?

Just make a mob farm...without the killing part.

I've seen some that can get 160+ items per minute. That should keep you plenty busy.

that would be cool.
I'll just make a huge tower underground pitch black, the castle fairly weak (maybe a frontal breach) and limited arrows (half a stack or so each).
I also like the idea of a war area, with trenches and a castle, each side.
will be small, but maybe for around 3vs3 games?

I thought I might wake this thread up a bit, it seems to have gone to sleep.

the manor is coming along well, but we have a long way to go yet. Done around 1/8 of it and it's been around 2 weeks, with around 2 people working on it on average (earlier was 5, morning was 1, varies wildly), which gives you an idea of how much there is to do.
we are also looking forward to making the basements, as under the manor is the biggest mob spawner on the server, with a 100x150 pitch black area below.
and here's the yogscast aether MOD spotlight:

not since wolf's boat was burnt down have I seen such an assemblage of heroes. Never before have I seen so many geared for war. I say that:

n0t_u wrote:Yeh it was fun. Should set up a big dungeon thing sometime to do it again.

maybe we should just make a HUGE cobblestone thing far away, make it pitch black, and try to get to the other side.

we have achieved a great victory today over the foul mobs of the deep, and would like to boast a few things-
after a full push straight through the area, I only lost half an armour sign, and only needed to use one item of food.
I heard only three creeper blasts, one of which was led into the water beforehand.

5 people- Iustis, Biccat, RaptorsTallon, Corpses and me ventured out.
5 people returned.

we may have been over prepared, but I have full faith in the olde style of warfare- Overkill is the best type of kill.

I might load a dungeon-searching texture pack and try find one far away, then make an underground castle place next to it.
maybe have a mission for someone to climb over blocks and stuff to get to the mob spawner and plant torches by it.
It'll happen after the manor though, so not for a while.

I wish admins could spawn skeleton/spider/zombie spawners

Just a few words about yogbox, yes it does come with modloader but the mod that edits how you cut down trees (destroy one block and all the ones above it come down to) is buggy, it tries to work in multiplayer. So you destroy the bottom block and all the ones above it come down but they dont drop anything and respawn in about 10 seconds making it faster to use your fist than an axe in multiplayer.

I found an island floating in the middle of the sky, is that normal?

Either way, I built a bridge to it, honeycombed the thing, surrounded it with a wall, put cacti on top of the wall, put torches all over the place, and then destroyed the bridge. I swim up a waterfall to get there. In my experience, it's about as safe as safe gets.

Just one question: Monsters aren't smart enough to swim up a waterfall, right?

Depends on the waterfall, creepers being crafty enough for both ladders and waterfalls sometimes. Generally though it will be safe.

Post by: Grundz


monsters aren't smart enough to swim up a waterfall
however when in water they will constantly try to jump out of it, so sometimes monsters will find their way to the top.

to be sure, you want to make the top of the waterfall inside a hillside and make your exit somewhere along the length of it.

Do it.
Sounds like great fun, and a way to get items easily.



Also, I have noticed that alot of mobs have been spawning inside the manor recently.
I have found:
A Spider on the roof
A Zombie in the upstairs hallway
A Skeleton in the master bedroom
and a Creeper in the lobby

All have been removed safely with no damage, but we do need to improve the lighting.

It's not the lighting (mostly), but that area is kind of buggy. Mobs spawn randomly, and dropped items despawn quickly.

Ive found with the castle that mobs spawn by chunk, and will spawn in lighter areas if they have no where to spawn anywhere in loaded chunks
for this reason I filled the castle with hollow walls and unlit chambers to give the mobs somewhere to spawn where they won't cause any problems.

Sorry, the answer is still no and probably always will be. If you want to play with a MOD, play SSP or find a server with that MOD installed. There are plenty of servers out there.

Placing MODs on the Dakka server is unfair on those who want to play on the server but don't want to have to install MODs to continue playing.

Because... Er... Well, that's not a bad idea. See what Dark says first, however.


Minecraft @ 2011/07/27 12:37:29


Post by: darkinnit


The second server was simply a test server for Lego to adjust settings on see if he could improve the reliability of the server.

Since 1.6 (and the nether update) CPU and Memory usage of the Minecraft code is through the roof. It is no longer feasible to run two Minecraft servers on the same server. They will bog each other down. Also don't forget that running Minecraft is not the primary purpose of the server. The minecraft server is a luxury, not a Dakka service.

As I said before, you do have a choice, there are other servers out there, and SSP will always support any MODs you want to play with.

An area for Clay Soldiering would be cool.

Already devising an army list sort of thing for them for organised games:

Clay Soldier - 1pt
Upgrades:
Stick - 1pt
Sharpened Stick - 2pts
Armour - 1pt
Reinforced Armour - 2pts
Extra Health - 1pt
Glow in the Dark - Free
Redstone Dust - 1pt
Slimeball - 1pt
Gunpowder - 5pts - Limited to 1 soldier for every 10pts in the army.
Horse - 3pts
One Clay Soldier may be upgraded to a King for 5pts. The King may not have gunpowder.

So a 50pt battle could be:
50 Soldiers
OR
25 Soldiers with Sticks
OR
16 Soldiers with Sharpened Stick + A Soldier with a stick.

Etc. Etc.

Then there could be tournaments in different point ranges.

To try and stop cheating, each side has a chest which the referee places the armies into (so if you bought 5 soldiers wth gunpowder, you'll find 5 clay soldiers and 5 gunpowder in your chest) and can be independantly verified before the fight if need be. Gunpowder is easy to find out by counting the explosions, others may be more difficult; but if you cheat, you're only cheating yourself... and your opponent... ¬.¬

mods would/will be based on how much lag they create

Instead of gimmicky things like clay soldiers I was thinking mods that are reasonably simple but create fundamental changes in how minecraft works, like some redstone mods, some simple machinery mods, the aether, ect.
with pending things like pipes that would be really cool (imho) but may be too laggy.

Just thought I'd throw in a yard stick to their pricing plans. The Dakka Minecraft server runs with a 2048MB RAM limit. We regularly get "Out of memory" crashes. The $14.99 package they offer lists the available RAM as 512MB. Until Notch tidies up the Minecraft code, 512MB RAM will not go very far. However they do offer a 7 day money back guarantee, so there's no harm in trying I suppose.

I think the dakka crashes are due to it running other things honestly.

I'd likely get rid of the NPC village mod for possible lag issues and npc's getting out of control. and keep most of the rest, starting with wolves then adding them in one at a time until I run into a problem.

just found out wolves has a turntable that would make my wiring life a thousand times easier too D=

so question, what is the program that they use in yogsbox videos with the GUI where you can mess around and spawn stuff in game?

Many public kiosks won't allow you to plug in thumb drives as they can be a source of viruses and other nasty things. I'm actually surprised a public library has computers capable of running Minecraft at all!

In other news

Finished plans for a new, more efficient cobbler, this time (in single player at least) it can outpace a diamond pick with only 2 cobble sources (right now it uses 6), using a combination of the current detection system and a piston clock it should feed the block within 2 ticks of it being created, and without the huge stack of repeaters it should be less laggy and prone to failure as well

will be ripping out the old cobbler in a few days probably to replace it with this one.

Some good info about the new mob, seems like quite a good, and dangerous, addition.

Three meters tall, and having the ability to move blocks, as well as only attacking when you look at them, and then look away. To top it all off, they teleport.

I don't know, the whole point of those was that you never, ever saw them move (until the second time they appeared, where the brilliant idea was ruined forever). These you can quite easily, you just can't hover the aiming reticle over them.

Meh, the new mob would be fantastic in a surival horror game but what would it really add to the enjoyment of building in minecraft?

Zombies, spider, skeletons and creepers keep you on your toes but aren't that hard to kill whereas this mob seems to pretty much destroy you if you look at it.

Also; world map updated refresh your cache if it hasn't changed.

Also, donated 30 stacks of planks (crap tonne more due when I take a few screenies of my forest), more red wool and a few blocks of gray, light grey, black and regular, so there's little excuse when it comes to lacking materials, especially wood

We need to get the first floor's floor done before anything else, and try not to start anything new and particularly complex whilst Corpse is away; there's still rooms to finish and furnish and carpets to be laid.

Corpse, will the grass floor of the ground floor need to be replaced any time soon? If yes, what with?

The grass will be replaced with wood, smoothstone slabs or carpet depending on the room.

This tourist thing just gave me an idea . I'm currently working in a hotel on the French Riviera. Since this hotel is very beautiful (IMO), I wanna make a MC version of it on the server, not far from my villa.

kind of, it and a skeleton were in a hole, and I had next to no health so I didn't want to go and punch them, so I just planted TNT there. I was going to fill it in but then I got chased by around 3 zombies, two skeletons and two spiders, running round BBL while he did something-or-other rearranging chests inside, with me only having time to type "help", with him still standing inside going
"what?", and when he finishes with the chests he runs through a portal, past me and the following mobs, so I just give up and run through the portal too.
He DC's and I get bored, go home to brandywine and later DC.

Instead of pulling up random planks from the manor's first floor and replacing them with cobble (or not at all), can people please use the ample supply of trees outside the manor's front entrance? Same goes for anything caused by creeper asplosions.

If possible, please lead any creepers onto the plank floor and away from any carpet; the renewable trees (that must be replanted when cut down) can be harvested to replace planks, but wool isn't nearly as available.

Thank you.

Look for places that appear to be completely empty all around. Next time you're online, get someone to give you a tour, or just head out in one direction until you find somewhere spacious and unoccupied.

Most places that are taken should have signs saying who they belong to, but check all around because you may not know if you're approaching someone's place from the front or rear.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
The server map has been updated.

On there you can see lots of empty plots of land where you can build. The south west and north (past the Manor) are largely unpopulated.

Alright, why the feth is there a gaping big hole in the entrance hall and why didn't anyone tell me?

Owed to the manor for repairs:
1 Stack of Planks (to cover wall and door repairs + more for not owning up)
Quarter of a stack of Red Wool
Quarter of a stack of Blue Wool

The wool is the most important, because it takes fething ages to get it; especially the red and blue because roses are few and far between and require bonemeal, and blue is in limited supply deep underground.

Whoever did it can own up, but as long as I find the repair materials in one of the entrance hall chests before Friday, I won't care.

Okay, who the ---- trapped my house. Didn't notice that the wood wall in front of my obsidian had been replaced. stepped on it, but got far enough away that it didn't affect me.

Just annoyed because it's going to take me about 3 hours to replace all the stuff lost, wool is hard to come by.

Avatar, the Manor entrance (assuming you mean the Manor) was fine on Saturday night (well Sunday morning really - it was 1am) when I went round it with Fireshade. But I left him there so he may know if a creeper turned up later.

Docta, what do you mean trapped your house? (and which place is your house?) If someone's been planting traps I can try to track them down. When was the last time it was fine (not trapped)?
