steam?

Nah, I just watched the youtube vid he posted.

He does have a sexy voice, not gonna lie

Told you so

i did notice some minor griefing on grundz castle halve the drawbridge was missing so i replaced it and some other random stuff was open that is sealed from inside when owners where not on server
and just little bits griefed that i have fixed

Half of the drawbridge is always missing. No-one knows why.

Oh yeah, due to that weird half drawbridge I'm going to forcibly give grundz a raising piston drawbrigde,

Wanna help me make one Corpses? And/or my other piston ideas

I'll make it when I am next on, which won't be for a short while as my power supply unit exploded.

That happened to me too.

Server is cool, but I'm the only one online right now...

Thanks. Hopefully I'll be further along when you can get on

Ahahaha, cheers guys. Hope you liked the vid.

So are we allowed to us pistons on the server now?

I guess. I mean, I have, along with everyone else.

BTW, what actually happens if you hit a redstone torch with a piston?

Universe implosion

Yep, feel free.

Chowderhead wrote:BTW, what actually happens if you hit a redstone torch with a piston?

In 1.7.1 it would corrupt the world save in that chunk. (so the game would play fine as long as that chunk was not loaded, but crash otherwise).
In 1.7.2 and above the corrupted saves get repaired and hitting a redstone torch with a piston just pops the torch off

Yeah my castle bridge randomly sets on fire I think and one side will vanish.

If someone likes I will give them the wool and such and they can finish the church, I am going to grid out the palace area and start building some point this week.

update on adventure update

I don't really like the direction he is taking the game... I like the legoey state it is in now.

Also grundz do I have permission to make your drawbridge awesome? also what material do you want it to be made from?

just make it look good, you may have to back out the road a little.
Note that it mostly exists to bring creepers that wander towards the castle to their untimely end

If anyone wants to do me a big favor I need to know the block# between the middle of the road to either side of the outer wall in the new palace area

also, adventure mode is a new mode, not taking the game only in that direction

so there is creative, survival, and adventure after that update.

I hope you are right grundz.

corpsesarefun wrote:I hope you are right grundz.

the game is in java dude, you can right click and edit it at any point and just remove the parts you dont like.

I almost exclusively play the game in multiplayer though, mostly on the dakka server but also with some friends on our own server.

I wouldn't be entirely unhappy with NPC villages and "randomly generated dungeons" in survival mode. Just as long as the option exists to avoid them.

Although, reading the blog, Notch says "We’ve got a list of some 40+ things we want to add to the game." Does this seem low to anyone else?

A tad, yes.

Hopefully on release when new updates stop killing mods we can get lego to put better than wolves on the server.

From Notch's blog post on the Adventure mode:

Fully working Creative Mode (and individual admins can enter Creative Mode on a Survival Mode server if they choose)

I'm pretty sure Lego will want to keep the server in Survival Mode (as it currently is). The Creative and Adventure modes sound more like they're geared towards SSP players.
Also I won't be updating the server to 1.8 until people have reported bugs and they have fixed them with 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3 etc.

I'm in agreement with Lego for no mods on the server.

Not only is the Minecraft code still buggy enough as it is without extra third party bugs, but adding mods to the server (mainly ones with client side effects like Better than Wolves) would require all connecting players to also have to install that mod.

Not everyone who connects to the server wants to mess around installing mods and it's unfair to exclude those that aren't interested in the mod of the week.

Wolves is kind of like industrycraft, its alot of fun for a while because it has more to do. The real problem IMHO is that minecraft is a pain to install mods for and you can't just toss up a preinstalled copy because it is the retail version.

minecraft is reasonably stable though, I have no idea what our server problems are but my old server never crashed, had a realtime updated map with player locations, more traffic, and mods

this one has to run a popular website and work around the world.

I want better than wolves on and some one that lets you ride them/go faster, such as mo' creatures or dragons. Only when notch fixes the bugginess, though.
adventure mode I have mixed feelings about. though I welcome the idea, I don't like the sound of critical hits and sprinting.

Well! it seems that whenever I get on, I usually suffer some catastrophic failure that makes me log off, and when I'm actually on, I just spend my time gawking at other people's work. I really should get a strip-mine going :3 Or something. Anything that isn't just wandering.

Was it pre-1.6? That version (IIRC) screwed up the SMP code pretty hard. Not sure exactly why, but before that patch, the dakka server was pretty stable.

Might be back on tonight. Will try and decide a place to start building then...
