so are squids rare or something? I started a new single player map about a week ago, playing quite a bit and have yet to encounter one.

Just remodeled my vault and it seems I have placed a chest where I spawn at...could a moderator please reposition my spawn point in my vault... obcline / vault 9, kthxbai!

1/31/2011 7:16:02 PM

About 97% done with my building in spawn.

Roughly 90% done with my latest... "sky structure." Going to be a lot of tweaking with this one until it looks right.

End result should be a pretty bad ass combo. Let me know what you guys think.

1/31/2011 11:24:51 PM

I'm building a full size pyramid. It should be somewhat easier to build than my death star.

When I'm done, I'm going to fill it with Indiana Jones style puzzles and traps.

2/1/2011 9:34:33 AM

Got a circuit lesson set up in the SW corner of the non-build area outside of town for anyone who's interested. Just look for the lava ring (monster fence) on the mini-map.

I learned a lot from setting it up. Basically copied a whole lot of youtube videos. Maybe someone else will get some use out of it.

2/1/2011 9:42:59 PM

its back up

Also, if anyone wants to check out my alarm system wiring in the SW field from town. please do and let me know how I fucked up.

^ mc.net was down for a few minutes. Could not log in.

....looks like its down again now.

2/2/2011 5:55:49 PM

Sorry man, still have no idea what you're talking about. IP mc.dekciw.net has been down since the Beta update. We're using the numerical IP address to log in (it's posted on the previous page).

Been having trouble with opening the map in browser if that's related...

2/2/2011 10:32:37 PM

In order to play minecraft on a server, you first must login using the launcher itself. This login goes to mc.net ("minecraft.net") servers to validate you as a user.

Several times earlier this evening, that login would not work "cannot connect to minecraft.net." Then, two minutes later, it would work again.

I don't know what mc.dekciw.net is. Something to do with the TWW server, I gather. I don't play on the TWW server.

2/2/2011 10:37:38 PM

what's the new #6 option on the launcher do?

[Edited on February 3, 2011 at 1:47 PM. Reason : also i can't seem to get onto the server anymore ]

2/3/2011 1:46:17 PM

^ No idea.

Keep on getting "Connection timed out: connect", can't get on the map, also can't get on the admin panel. Something happen/change?

[Edited on February 3, 2011 at 7:18 PM. Reason : ]

2/3/2011 7:17:44 PM

Aye, I cannot connect to the server I usually play on either. Didn't notice a forced update, though...

2/4/2011 4:40:52 PM

After creating a spleef arena, and enjoying that, I created a game/playing field loosely based on "American Gladiators Assault". Two players, player one stand up on a "perch" firing down on another player, who is ducking/weaving through the playing field trying to trip four switches. Once the fourth switch is tripped, I want the player standing up on the perch to die immediately (or drop down immediately, then die).

I am currently using double doors on a switch witch causes both doors to swing open, dropping the player into an obsidian pit, then he gets TNT cannon'ed. The problem is, when standing on top of the double doors it's hard to line up exactly right. I know trap doors are not yet implemented.

Any ideas for how I could implement this more easily, basically I want to make the block the player is standing on dissapear, so he can drop through like a trap door... or die in any other way immediately when the switch is flipped.

Sorry if this didn't make sense....

[Edited on February 4, 2011 at 8:10 PM. Reason : .]

2/4/2011 8:08:59 PM

there is a trap door plugin, check the mods list on the minecraft wiki

2/4/2011 9:52:00 PM

^Thanks... I did quite a bit of searching and can't find a mod that adds trap doors. Lots of talk about suggestions, etc. but I couldn't find it- know the name of the mod?

In the meantime, I've decided to use dispensers with arrows... each switch will cause damage. It takes 5 arrow hits to die, so there will be 5 switches in the game instead of 4.

...this will suffice UNTIL I can find a trap door (which would be much cooler / easier)

2/4/2011 11:01:01 PM

Put the shooters on pillars. Make the top pillar block TNT. Make the circuit such that it will set off the TNT when all the switches are on.

2/5/2011 2:19:42 AM

^That won't kill them immediately, it takes a second or two for the TNT to go off.

I did find this and will try it:

I can't whitelist anyone until the admin panel gets sorted out. Sorry man

Ok, for some reason the server killed itself and didn't send me a report e-mail.

I've tried a reboot, but it seems unresponsive. I have a ticket in to support now, so it should be back online soon. I'm a bit pissed off about this, especially for what I'm paying for this box.




Give me until tomorrow to get this cleared up. If something like this happens again someone shoot me an e-mail at exurox [A.T.] gmail.com. Just put Minecraft in the subject. I'll get it immediately and be able to do something about it, since I obviously can't depend on the server company to keep me informed.

So the update is, the server didn't actually crash, something just spontaneously fucked up. The server is running fine, but the IP isn't resolving to it. I have to check the NIC binding and firewall tonight after class. According to the support team that's the issue, though how it could happen without me actually doing anything on the server in two weeks is beyond me.


On a side note, the new server mod is progressing, but very slowly. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be able to get the server running with the newest version, with most (not all) of the old features. At that point there will be some community decisions to look into.

2/9/2011 4:03:16 PM

Should be running now. Apparently the OS randomly switched the primary adapter from eth0 to eth1.

2/9/2011 8:07:18 PM

In honor of frequent complaints about "phallic structures" on the first map, I have constructed the tallest possible penis our map will allow. It goes from bedrock to build limit, and everything above the surface is glass. Vast stretches of beach and desert had to be destroyed for me to see my vision realized, but PEN 15 Tower is worth it.

2/16/2011 7:37:27 AM

sweet. couple questions since I've been out of the loop for so long:

-what's the state of SMP compared to single player? what's still broken/buggy?
-what are the rules for this server? has all that stuff been mined/built by hand? if so, I'm impressed.

2/16/2011 9:55:49 AM

No duping items. No griefing. Basically, don't be a dick. Just common sense stuff.

You may come across missing chunks. To fix them, just relog and the blocks will return. This can be a big pain in the ass with minecarts.

If you decide to use minecarts, look out for other minecarts that are stopped on the tracks. If you collide with one, you will die and possibly lose your stuff.

Vault system still works.
Boats work.
Mobs are turned on.
Paintings don't work (yet, I think they'll be fixed when the new mod is put in place.)
If you're asking about anything specific, just ask... my brain's not quite at 100% yet..

Everything (with the exception of the Spawn Town area) has been mined and built by hand.

If you've got any other questions, just ask. Glad to have you with us.
