love, the theif of the night

Taken server offline due to too many experience orbs.

I've disabled experience orbs from being dropped, but I still need to clear out the orbs that are on the map.

Hey may I make a suggestion with the dock that may be unpopular due to the work that's been done, but To make it look more Dock like, I one of the walls for the dock should come out by the light house and and be perpendicular to the Cliff face.

Just a suggestion, I live by a few port towns sooo

Status Update.
Over 8000 Experience orbs have been removed from the world. I'm now uploading it back and removing your experience values from your inventories while I wait for it to upload...

Inventories cleared of experience orbs too. Just waiting for uploads to finish.

Minetruck, Iustis and DrkOblitr8r were all ticking time bombs of experience orbs with between 200-500 thousand orbs each. (There is a suspected orb duplication bug).

Is it normal to dream of being let back onto a server or am i just sad?

Woops, did not realise the server had auto-restarted itself.

Well if you did anything between me saying the server is down and now it will be gone.

The server is now de-orbed and back up.

Well, it's hanging now (probably because you all tried to join at once) :-P give it a minute or two

Wow
Each and every one of them would drop individually and do absolutely nothing but lag...
I kind of wish they'd do something like some of those suggestions on that reddit thread and make different sized orbs to represent their value, limit it to 1% dropped or do both. Maybe even the experience ore monument thing.

Well I am on a war-gaming forum and frequent on the MLP thread.

Aleswell now has a portal on the overworld side, but I'll need some help making the nether side one. Once done it will be a lot faster to travel over that ocean.

Farm there sucks though, nothing has ever spawned in it except for a creeper.

As far as I am aware, the new biomes effect mob spawn rates. So a desert will not spawn many mobs (looks like a desert there), but on the other hand "plains" biomes have been known to spawn too many mobs...

Well thankfully it's on a border then, I can just run out the back of it to the plains there.

Finished the Aleswell portal and left some melon seeds in one of the double chest near the portal at new dakkatown so you can get that farm running. There should be some at the sanc soon too for the farm at the starting area Grundz was building.

Ahem, desert for me spawned a TON of mobs on easy/normal, even endermen.

Came across endermen unbuilding an npc village in a desert.

melon is farming at the top of the mob spawner right now as a temporary measure to increase seeds
once i have 2-3 stacks of seeds i'll make an automated farm in the start area

Heh, sorry I should have been clearer, I meant passive mobs (pigs, cows, sheep, chickens) spawn less in the desert, not hostiles.

You can also see it in the video I did testing 1.8 on the Dakka server. I make my way through the desert and only encounter some chicken just at the edge of it, then later (part 3 I think) I hit the plains and there's cows everywhere.

I think it might be a bug with SMP. When I walk around my single player world (and in several of the "Lets Play" channels) it's not difficult to find cows, sheep and pigs. They're pretty common, even in forest biomes.

However, on the dakka server even in areas that appear to be plains biomes (1.7 world), animals are pretty scarce. I suspect that there's a global limit to the number of mob spawns that needs to be fixed.

animals are persistant since 1.8 apparently and I believe there is a word limit on how many critters can exist, so this may be the case.
the spawn generator does still spawn pigs constantly though.

Bear in mind that the new 1.8 biome generation code will be changing the effects of the seed. Areas that used to be desert or plains in 1.7 might now be classed as something else, e.g. raining in deserts and snowing in places where it didn't snow before (when snow returns).

Only the 1.8 generated lands will accurrately match the terrain to biomes' effects - e.g. no rain in deserts.

It's true that animals are persistent now, but so were squids in 1.7 and there were plenty of them around, so it could just be that everyone is spread out with lots of land loaded at once. If the chunks are unloaded it should free up that allotment of animals. Other people have suggested checking at the bottom of waterfalls or streams for "trapped" animals and killing them to make new animals spawn.

1 player standing next to a mob spawners will probably cause animals to be scarce for players in other areas though...

The fog horn is about 1/2 the way down the coast.
The HQ building is coming along well.
The underwater viewing area is built.
The Lighthouse is done.
Lots of people are starting up houses there.

and yet no-one thought to light up the surrounding area, or even the dock itself.
I can't do anything about it because I'm 1000 blocks away down an abandoned mine, so can someone else take the liberty?

And can some other people take the liberty of not repiping the toilet drain into my bedroom, repairing any creeper explosions that expose the roof and right wall of my underground home to the outside world, not rip up the bed which several people were using to spawn from, not steal my iron helmet and boots, and not steal my chestplate and trousers, wear them down to red durability bar and replace them as if I won't notice.

As soon as I finish the base of my castle so its livable I'll gladly work on what needs doing in town. Just PM me or message me in game

I really didn't think I was holding that much experience. But anyway, glad you solved the problem. Shrike, have you been using Skype? I've created an account for it so we can talk while playing. Saintkicky should get it too, if he ever gets round to buying a microphone.

Now....
This is interesting....

I wonder what it will be?

Servers down, been down for about 10 minutes or so.

Unrelated, but does anyone PvP? Because My roomate and I are in the process of making a server, and we need players both in and outside of Dakka. Looking to launch in November. It's like Nations at War, but with a few extra surprises.

Been down for a full 40mins.
I have PMed dark but I think he is offline, or at least he was when I sent the PM.

Haggard. But anyway, what need doing in New Dakkatown? I'm willing to contribute to the place, as it's my most permanent home.

torches need to be scattered about.
the dock needs to be finished
and as a personal request from me, any darkwood that can be donated to me would be much appreciated.

Shrike ! did you by any chance move the 2 diamond picks me and corpse left in a chest ?

Also once we are done I will move to the new dakka town and give a helping hand

I might have, I honestly can't remember.

Need to know where they are if you have so Dark can either replace them if it was due to a crash Also did you take 6 diamond from the chest at some point ?

6 diamond? no. Was that used to make the two picks?
I can't remember. When I can actually get on I'll look around.
