I'm starting work on the nether system now so everyone put your portals up!

I'll update the map this evening.

What do you mean "do everyone put your portals up"?

This is why you don't rush edit a post

Most people's portals will have been copied with their structures. Do you just mean people should build portals for their new stuff, or make portals in the nether where they want them?

I'm asking for people to ensure they have a portal up in the real world for their buildings so they are shown on the map

From the map me and dread can get a railway plan going.

Gotcha.

Can't find any bandwidth limits for my hosting provider, so I'll just keep updating the map every few days whenever I can until I get an angry phone call from them.

Hey do we have a Z coordinate plane set for our portals yet? I'm ready to start building from grundztopia back to the start area

Most people's portals seem to be between 60 and 70 Y

I'd recommend choosing something around that height. Portals in the nether should be made to match their height in the overworld or you can get portals mixed up. Make the nether routes between 60 and 70 Y and then put steps or ladders in the nether to get to portals that are outside that height range? Sound good?

got it, building starting soon

60-70 is about right, try to make them y 65 if possible.

mwahahaha im back XD

Why is that a thing?

If anyone wants pumpkin seeds, PM me, and I'll hook you up for free.

If anyone wants a house in the Desert area of the Grotto, PM me, and you may be accepted.

If people have looked at the map and seen my pyramid, you will have noticed it has rown somewhat and now has new external things to see !

Pop round and check it out when you can !

Map has been updated to 6:35pm GMT today.

If you've looked at the map recently you may need to hold CTRL and click Refresh to update it fully (including new player positions etc). (Or clear your browser cache).

Beds are still showing the incorrect positions for those who haven't updated their beds. I may get rid of the bed icons altogether if I can.

Some players are clickable and some are not, not sure why, it seems random.

Oh and another thing. I increased the radius to 2200 blocks so you can see the edges of two of the snow biomes...

Haha, still can't find either of my builldings

Ah well, hidden is nice too.

Trouble is, the bigger the radius, the exponentially larger the filesize, generation time and upload time. Just that small radius increase made everything else 50% more.

Mel, you can see your player avatar if you go "off map". Grundz too, if you go far enough the other way.

Hah! This map thing is so cool!

Would it be a possibility to get a map of the Nether? It'd greatly assist in linking people's stuff.

Not to mention I saw one escape and run into the distance yesterday. I went around the fence and blindly jumped at it until I found a few places they could jump out and blocked them. Could be more though.

I mapped out a road going to a portal in a swamp and to the NPC village the SE of the spawn point with torches, should we make a road network in the desert linking a bunch of places?

Will you be rebuilding the arena or castle defense thing?

Finished putting up the Christmas lights.


Unfortunately the clock for the beacon or "antennae" no longer works so will have to try to get another one as compact up there or something.

Managed to build a sort of compact clock that still works after the redstone changes. Still a little big for the space, though may be able to work with it enough to replace it.

Unlikely I'm afraid, there are two problems at play with that:
1) The map takes long enough to generate and upload as it is (many many many small files do not go quickly over FTP), without generating a whole extra dimension
2) The nether has a roof. Even with the roof stripped off, most of the tunnels and things are embedded in the netherrack. I'll give it a try but if it doesn't look any good or takes too long to produce, I'll not bother with it.

The arena is here:

Castle defence is here:
http://www.darkinnit.com/dakkamap/#layerId=LayerA&worldX=-1160&worldY=0&worldZ=212&zoom=4

Maybe if it had the option of showing portals even if an overhead view like the surface the tunnels could be drawn in as a plan and the nether dealt with accordingly. Just keep it all at one level and if other need to come along later at a higher or lower value a tag could be added to show it.

This wouldn't be like the current map though and require someone to actually get it, modify it accordingly and then reupload it elsewhere. Which is probably a fair amount of work as is.

Anybody heard the news? Yogscast, Notch. Please just be a misunderstanding :(

What are you talking about?
