now you've done it, he's already way ahead of you.

EEEheeheeeheeee...

I'll have to get a screenshot, or maybe take a video of me traveling the Great Eastern Tunnel.

Sooo....
What would be classed as a Mega Structure?

I'd say anything that can be seen on the map viewer when zoomed out would count as a mega structure.

That's fair, that's a good version of the standard.

So, all I need to do is turn Ulm into a vast, sprawling, hive city cum fortress for this to work then....

Actually, there was something else too:
Would it be okay to run an organised PVP event? Something that people could volunteer to join with a prize at the end of it for the winning team?

We do have an arena and it's been done before. Good luck with teams, if you get 3 people to show up, it would be a great turnout.

Well I wanted to run a siege. A small pele tower that I would create on my land with some treasure inside. If the attackers win they get it, if not then the defenders get to keep it.

Okay guys, I need help.
On my offline world I have a major problem in the form of zombie pigmen that will not de-aggro. Hell, I did not even aggro them, it was a Ghast. So far have:
Left the Nether and waited. All was fine when I went back until I reached the area that it all started....
Killed all the aggressive ones. Which was fine until I reentered the nether and was met with a tide of angry pigmen coming my way.
Been killed. Returned to grab my stuff and been killed again.

They just will not de-aggro. Is there anything that I can do?

step 1. set the world to peaceful while in the nether
step 2. ?
step 3. profit

maybe use a kill command and wipe out all nether entities?

im sure one server used that trick.

Build a bunker around the portal and stab em all?

there is probably some aggroed pig man running around in an area you cant get to or see that is causing the issue.

Run in with some blocks, pillar up two blocks. Make yourself a nest. Wait for them to de-aggro.

Thanks guys

Master of Ordinance.
The finished Celestine I mentioned.

I need better pics and the rest of my golden host before I have a showcase worthy group.

Because dakka Minecraft is a land or artists, engineers and architects of the digital and plastic worlds

Not bat at all Jhe, not bad. You have done a good job with the gold - it looks nice and smooth and so many people get it wrong and make it patchy. The wings look good as well, and the white looks crisp which is not the easiest of things to do. Not bad at all.

The gold is GW base gold. That stuff is magic.
Plus good base coating. It makes a big difference!

And wings. Thanks, in real light there silver (4-5 thin coats, duccan of course lol) with think blue wash, very thinned down to a 20-80 ink to water ratio, 3-4 layers.

Hmm.... Do we have any preserved areas of historical or natural value in Dakkaland?

Yes

there are designated strip mine areas for whatever resource you're about to grab. a link to the map showing the area you want to ask about would be helpful. just in case someone has it claimed.

As far as I knew folks don't mind where you build as long as it's not too close to them. The only places I've heard of people not wanting others to mine out the surface are the mesa near spawn since some people like the look of it and some ice pillars near folks bases. There's the public mesa in the north west that can be freely mined and there's some ice pillars in a few places.

On an unrelated note, it looks like the tilde signs are slowly disappearing from the dakka map. There's none left on the center continent.

I was just checking to see if there was a precedence for marking areas as "preserved" as I want to mark the Heights as such.

a few signs around the area saying it's claimed should be enough. tilde signs used to work so they area could be seen on the map.

Tilde signs seem to be failing.

I have one on mine that never showed up on map.

And I am mining the mesa abit in small areas, red sand, and terracotta.

(public one)
Il try to make sure it does not look overly square etc and I spread my digging.

I just want to make the forestedareas atop the Mesa around Ulm a no-dig area as they (in fluff context) represent a piece of ancient history, with the trees and land dating back to when the server was just pre-data ooze ad unloaded chunks.

Mostly small trees, and avit of fancy dirt.
They ain't gonna be a target like ice spikes.

And put up a fence round top and sign it, should do as a marker claiming it as dakka server park, I doubt it be bothered.

Around the base good sir, around the base

Hmm you have plans afoot good sir!
Ulms grand fortress and and river gate shall rise

Though looking at map, a canal tp the sea may be some work indeed!

I need some help

I used to have a program that read .schematic files and presented them in 2d layer by layer and listed all the materials needed for the selected level.

The computer it used to be on got wiped and now I can't remember what it was called, nor find it. I keep finding older versions that are no longer available.

if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
