I'd absolutely hate Creepers if they blew up even when you ran out of range. It's not them killing me that I hate, it's the aftermath. Walked out of my house during broad daylight, was a creeper hidden right beside my door, blew out my front wall. ;_;

[miokomioko]

I died in the Nether and was scrambling back to my fort to hurry and jump back in my portal. I was running up my large staircase (no other way up) and two creepers came barreling down it, blowing up in my face. My stairs were completely toast and I spent way too much time trying to just get inside my fort I lost all my shit.

to clarify: you can use a bucket to place a block of lava (or water) but it will not spread, no one else can see it, and it will eventually disappear.

However, server admins can give players source blocks, and those can be placed and will behave like normal. (command: /give (player) (id) (number) i.e. /give ragns 10 64 would give Ragns 64 lava source blocks)

so apparently if you set server.properties hellworld=true the portals will work but....hell will bleed over in the real world.

Nothing sounds not awesome about that.

Its out there, BGers, go win it. Or wait... I am going to finish it up tomorrow.

[miokomioko]

If only you could make it out of leaf blocks... and then make it snow. Oh man~ I need a Jack Nicholson skin.

[Chrian]

Icould give you leaf blocks >_> and snow blocks.


just find me.

[Ifandbut]

I decided to log on and check the server out real quick before I went to bed tonight. And guess what...griefed again.

Underwater pyramid fludded and some of the water tunnel got messed up

Looks like someone got pissed off because the door was locked from the inside and broke in. Also messed with the redstone so it does not work now.

[Kiarax]

[miokomioko]

Gonna' love some future private server password action.

Going to be on Afternoon shift for a couple of weeks so invariably I'll be bored enough to do this. can anyone who currently plays ffxi and is nutty enough to get screnshots pm me? I want to build ru'aun gardens, complete with palace and shrine, and celestial nexus, but I need a better idea of the areas as I no longer have an account with which to compare, see list below, I'll edit it whenever I get a bit (going to be looking online for random ones too so I'll see what I can get on my own) so no one wastes their time, not that this might not be considered a huge waste of time anyway.

Ru'Aun Gardens:

Screenshots of

Spoiler: show

Entrance Island
Entrance ramp area to Ru'Aun
Pool areas to side of entrance area
From corner of entrance to side islands
Top area of side islands
Entrances to Ve'Lugannon(? maybe Ru'Avitau) preferrably from zone line to either side
Middle bridged area between corresponding islands
Center Aisle toward Ru'Avitau
Main entrance alcove thing to Ru'Avitau
Side entrances to Ve'Lugannon
Ramp areas to side entrances
Islands to La'Loff Amphitheatre
God Islands

As well as a timed (approximate, no need to pull out a stopwatch) straight run from entrance teleport pad to zone line into Ru'Avitau, and count of Groundskeeper alcoves on one place on islands (they should all be the same) and one side of main aisle (where Despot spawns)

Ve'Lugannon Palace:

Screenshots of

Spoiler: show

Any random hallway so I understand basic geometry of it
Every room from any entrance (I can extrapolate missing parts of rooms from my memory of the area) (Not entirely necessary, would just be to add details like pillars and such, would be a nice final touch type thing)

Shrine of Ru'Avitau:

Screenshots of

Spoiler: show

Main Entrance
Entrance Hallways
Hallways and rooms with Elementals in them (floor is fancy at places but I can't remember exactly where)
Kirin Room (secondary, may not have space at all for all these rooms, or connecting hallways, since I can't make teleporter pads and am not about to mess with the Nether for this)
Mother Globe room (secondary, for above reason and I remember it one mostly, big round room with glass floor!)
Olla Grande/Faust room (same as Mother Globe)
Ullikummi room (as above two)

La'Loff Amphitheatre

Screenshots of

Spoiler: show

Entrance
Battle Area (if possible, no worries if not, there's tons of DM videos I can extrapolate from)

Celestial Nexus

Screenshots of

Spoiler: show

Entrance
Battle Area (if possible, I'm sure I can find a video of that fight)

Timed runs around random hallways (please tell me where) if you feel like it in Ve'Lugannon or Ru'Avitau, but I can extrapolate run lengths based on run length for Ru'Aun. Timed runs will determine sizes of entire structure, and let me build a floor so I can work without being on a tiny one block platform

Stairs will be what I can fit in, I will not eliminate the use of ladders to save space, 'teleporters' will be small winding passages that'll lead to where you need to go, if I have room for them I'll make them one way drops, so if you go to Kirin you might pick the wrong one if you don't remember which way to go and have to go back around

Doors and such will be open by default, if I can fit them in I'll put in some redstone circuits (maybe in walls to stop them being all obtrusive and obvious) to open applicable doors, and potentially add in or-type ones, so blue doors would close if you try to open a yellow door in same general area, but there's obviously a limit to what I can fit in without making this place ridiculously oversized

Will give credit to anyone who helps out, and depending on how it turns out (and how much height it uses since that's limited in game) I'll build Hall of Gods and Ro'Maeve too, and then see about making Vana'diel, but I'm getting ahead of myself

Ru'Aun idea, in case people don't read other Minecraft thread :D

Not a screenshot, I haven't started yet, I want to do it with incredible detail, read spoiler if you're bored enough to want to see Ru'Aun in all it's glory, link to post is in my sig

I will consider doing this on the BG server if people are interested, but I will need to find an untouched area to do it in (so I don't intrude on people's stuff), and I'll probably lose interest if I get griefed, so I'd need a lot of convincing. I will definitely share the map file if I do it on single player for if anyone wants to poke around in it.

update

Minecraft Alpha 1.2.1, Minecraft Server 0.2.3
The server update is not mandatory, but you might want to update just to make sure.

This is a bugfixes only update:

* Signs on the sides of cacti no longer crash the game
* The player won’t get stuck on the top of the world in multiplayer
* Reverted mob spawning back to the old code, it was far to annoying. I have plans on what to do with this.
* Fixed the leaf particle colors
* Reduced CPU usage for monster spawning, but there’s still a lot of work to be done to reduce lag on SMP servers.
* Attempted to fix the portal dupe bug where you could exit through a different (new) one than the one you entered through.

About the portals, it’s possible that two portals can lead to the same portal in the Nether. This is because the space down there is compressed by a factor of 8, and I haven’t come up with a good way to fix this yet.
I might just end up doing an explicit one-to-one binding between portal pairs, but that’s nontrivial as it should survive the portal being temporarily destroyed. If you TNT a portal then rebuild it, you’d expect it to still lead to the same place, right?

Hmm.

More bug updates are coming next week, mainly related to survival mode multi player.

[edit:]

Client 1.2.1_01 fixes armor. And I forgot to mention that Music will play in multiplayer now as well.

Already posted saying we've already started the process of making the whole sky process (maybe i forgot to mention sky itself) but we're doing Ro'maeve > Hall of the Gods > Sky. Currently only really have the entrance built but it is being worked on.

Also Ragns, if you see this, do you think it would be possible to give other people some kind of administrative power so we can take care of these griefers? It seems to be happening every single day between 2am-8am pst.

Why the fuck would you even say that?

[Kiarax]

Because it is hilarious.
