I think the Portal mod might work best as a "special event" more than a regular feature.

Or we could use it with the trains to save hours of work.

Nah, where's the satisfaction man!

Meanwhile I have the monorail tour complete. There's a transfer station at the skywalk to continue the train ride further out. It's currently only one way. N.U.T.S tunnel is progressing well enough too, cheers biscuit and bland! Looks great!

cherryghost

Fajitas!

cherryghost

What kind of limits will be in place with regards to residences? I can just imagine a great land grab, or trolls grabbing a load of land and building nothing, just being inconvenient.

Was about to say...

Users will have the ability to only claim 3 areas of land initially, with a defined radius for each area. So basically, find some GOOD land and claim it :P You will not be able to unclaim a land area once you've claimed it in case some people think about abusing the system.

The entire thing will be a trial run initially

Fajitas!

Should we be claiming things we've already built to stop others doing so?

Yeah that'd be mad. "Oh yeah that's my house there but Fajitas owns the land it's on. I only have to give him 20 diamond ore every day and my first born child and he allows me to stay here."

pablomakaveli

If someone claims an area that has already been built on whats going to happen then?

Also how big will the area that can be claimed be?

Server should be 1.5 in the next hour or so. Standby for restart. Some new features in the update will include:

- Leaves may now drop cocoa beans.
- Weather is synced with Dublin's weather.
- You can obtain the servers forecast with the use of some new commands.
- All of the other previous features should be still in the 1.5 update.

Just noticed this when chopping wood. Will saplings still be dropped because i was only getting apples and cocoa and having no saplings could become a problem when replenishing wood.

Saplings are still dropped yep. From my chopping I was getting about an even drop of the 3

Hey lads, I'm looking for someone to do a boards.ie banner for minestatus.net

The website in question is here

It basically has to be any resolution but obviously banner width (anything else will squash due to auto-resizing etc). Check out the homepage for an idea. Cheers!

BlandKitten

Red line has made massive progress (mainly due to myself and Air). The track has been carved and is all set to go, it just has to be laid down now.

I will be back some day

waiting on my laptop charger and I shall return!

cherryghost

I've found inspiration again in Minecraft! The bridge is absolutely epic.

Something like that yeah Might have a go at it over the weekend.

In other news, was thinking about ditching the idea of claiming land in exchange for Towny:

Towny is a plugin for Bukkit (originally from but discontinued from hMod) that allows players to create towns and nations, along with simple alliance controls. The world is broken up into a grid using 16x16 grid cells as default (for those familiar it's broken up into chunks). Each town is given a certain number of these cells and gains more as the town holds more players. These cells can be controlled by a town's mayor to set build/destroy permissions, define the town as PvP zone, and put plots up for sale using iConomy. Once a town joins a nation, it's residents can then start building in it's allied towns, but joining a nation makes you susceptible to losing your towns protection when the world is at war.

Sounds like it might be fun!

Yep, there's already 3 villages plus some skytowns in the vicinity, we could break the area up into nations eventually (spawn being a neutral area).

EDIT: Some serious thought and planning is needed so I'll need to get a map render sorted quickly!

i laid one side of the track last night, ran out of iron :rolleyes:

BlandKitten

Towny sounds good, but I don't like the idea of PvP between nations or whatever.
If certain areas are designated PvP though then that's grand :P

Edit: Anyone else having trouble logging in?

pablomakaveli

Anyone else having problems logging on. I keep getting a java.net.sockettimeoutexception message when i try to log onto the server.

Yeah, I get the feeling if nations were involved, there'd be a lot of fire griefing in all towns. Better to have only admin/mods designate towns, and all towns have pvp off.

Then set the Colosseum or other such place designated specifically for PvP.
