Minecraft

Has anyone around here tried this out? (the paid version).

It's a Lego/sandbox/crafting/zombie game.

I've been meaning to check it out since march when VGcats pointed it out to me, but it seems to be picking up a lot of attention recently, and I have heaps of time off. I think i'll check it out

it's currently 10 euro for the alpha, which is about "4AU, apparently it will double when it goes beta. Ohnoes!

gamers-underground.com server

Watching the Good Game review atm... seems a lot like an FPS Dwarf Fortress. :P

Pretty neat, can understand the love, but a game with no end and no point isn't something I like to get myself into.

Post 9

Hah, they just mentioned Dwarf Fortress and Nethack.

Someone made a minecraft nuke...

15 kiloton detonation of TNT, a minecraft nuke.
[IMG]http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/894/nukedp.jpg[/IMG]
[/URL]If that number sounds familiar, thats because that is the explosive yeild of the little man bomb dropped on hiroshima. Using volume and weight calculations, I took the time to find out how much that would be in minecraftian TNT, the answer? roughly 15,000 blocks, arranged in a 25 by 25 by 25 cube. Once set off, the server died, all connected were DC'd in a flash of bright and incredible deadly internet light. Two hours later the server finished (by finished, we mean gave in and allowed enough resources to be used to let people log on), people emerged. Twenty minutes later the brick rendering finally finished. The result was devestating.

Post 17

Being new to all this, is it better to have a largely populated server or doesn't it matter?

ie: Do you want me to setup a minecraft server on GU?

Post 18

Server performance takes a hit with more users, also theres crowding issues etc.

However having large population also means more stuff to see.

From what I've seen, the servers needs a lot of attention to keep them working.

I suppose it mostly comes down to how many people on GU would use it. You'd need a certain number of people on there to make it worthwhile.

Post 19

Might set one up and see how we go - only way to learn is to jump in :)

Post 20

If there's a GU Serv I'll jump in, that'd be good motivation to actually try this thing.

Post 21

Me and my little bro hang out on the OACU server quite a bit. It is heavily addictive - as far as I am aware however it does take quite a bit of resources to run ram wise.

Post 22

GU server now operational. Just punch in "gamers-underground.com" as the IP.

Just a tad under the weather atm so haven't been playing, have probably spent days on the OCAU server but will happily move to a GU one.

Post 30

OD can you have a look at geting different builder rights?
Also begin able to teleport to other players is a good idea so that I don't have to find my way to their epic stuff that has been built.

Post 31

I'm on your server burning your trees! (Not really, it wasn't me... I was just a victim.)

Been playing minecraft for a while on another server a friend of mine was hosting. Been spoiled by op rights, but keen to get in to a real server. My doods name is Lynch82.

Catch you all online.

Post 32

also so you can break their stuff

Post 33

http://gamers-underground.com/content/765-mega-minecraft-update-incoming.html

Post 34

Also is there some form of etiquette with regards to requesting items from ops?

Is it a complete no-no, or is it acceptable in the case of bugged items.

A good example is water. Say I want to build a water slide... I can't transport water sources in multiplayer due to a bug. But an op could grant me a pile of water by typing: /give Lynch82 8 64

Having op rights and just magicking everything in to existence ruins the fun of minecraft, but at the same time, some stuff is just plain broken and can only be achieved by an op magicking it up.

Post 35

I don't see a problem with that, makes sense!

We'll be handing out op privs to a few more people over coming weeks too.

Shit,,,,, So that's where I ended up. I decided one night to do a long long durny to the end of the map. Though was hopping I didnt do a U turn. Though you can see my GIANT platform from the screen shot sweet.

Post 42

Jumped on your server tonight, looks pretty sweet. Now the developer just needs to make server software that doesn't destroy your CPU :(

Here is a project I have been working on, on another server:

It's taking me FOREVERRRRRRR. It's been done off a maze blueprint that some program generated for me.

Oh the circle thing is myne :P

Post 53

you should totally turn that into the image of the Vitruvian Man - cos you know it's gonna wind up with a dong on it anyway

Post 54

I was thinking more along the lines of another circle, and the classic cock and balls figure.

Post 55

I had to remove a giant penis from the statue I built yesterday.

Then the server crashed, and rolled back, and I had to remove the giant penis again.

No man should have to take a pick axe to a giant stone cock twice in one night.

Post 56

I hear Lothar loves that sort of thing. If by 'pick axe' you mean 'gaping mouth,' and if by 'stone' you mean 'throbbing', of course.

Post 57

So your making a milenko penis suit statue.

Loving this game.

The Mario house is pretty sweet. As is teh glass house in the sky.

I made a house in the side of a hill but it feels like a hole in the ground in comparison.

What time are most people on the server?

You must've tried to logon when it was doing it's daily update/maintenance restart. It's up now.

Post 69

Seems to get worse over time rather than load. Doubled it's memory allowance and restarted. Map is generating as we speak (takes about 20mins).

Map updated.

I only made the dildo! and the giant head, someone else did the words (which are perfectly framed by the bridge connecting your two castles) =)

I'm chuffed with my house now, but getting water to flow over glass is a fricken pain in the dot. Nice to see the server restart doesnt re-init the water springs - all the screwing around i had to do to get proper coverage was remembered :D

Post 73

It only died at about 6:30am this morning - and even then it died "nicely". Hopefully the changes I've made fix things.

Post 74

also everyone knowing not to use minecarts now prolly helps - server needs a MOTD function tho i reckon

Post 75

It has a MOTD :p But like all MOTD, no one reads them. I only noticed it cause I had to login a few times yesterday, and saw a message about mumble (what ever that is).

I am so happy Mario and the goomba show up from space :D

Post 76

See that giant half finished wall behind Lexholm? (In the direction of Lenko Land) Who does that belong to?

Post 77

Server does have a MOTD - it appears every time you log on. :D

As for minecarts, we're just going to find a way to disable them, if that is indeed the cause of the problem.

ohhh that one line of text hah, that disappears so fast i never noticed it :/

Post 80

I found a minecart, Lothar gave me some lava and I killed it with fire.

Post 81

Cool - it should now be impossible to create them, but any that already exist will need death.

Post 82

So who do you have to bribe/kill to become an in game OP?

My qualifications are: I am awesome, I am sexy, and I have OCD. I also seem to be online (and requiring an OP) when no OPs are one >.<

I have no interest in exploiting OPs (the game is easy enough to exploit anyway), is just nice to be able to summon the things that can't be obtained due to bugs, like water, lava, wool, etc.

Post 83

A "productive" night:

[Image: http://www.matthewlynch.net/dump/smp/lexholm-007.jpg]

I also did some exploring. The dragon is cool++, and the water side is pretty win. Pretty 'leisurely' paced, but still pretty win.

Hi all, you might have seen me in-game but this is my first post on the forum... And without further ado I give you... OBAMA!

Not quite sure where it is in relation to spawn (as Lothar knows... I was quite lost...) but should show up on the map tommorow. (Or later today rather...)

This is my 95% finished Bacon Generator. I give away free samples and then arrange fairly reasonable wholesale rates.

One time when I was testing out the Bacon Generator and it wasnt quite setup right I got all the inner workings all gummed up with pigs. It wasnt pleasant for anyone.

Hrm yeah - I'm not sure when it does its maintenance and for how long but maybe it's that.
Sitting here patiently tho - need my Minecraft fix after a 12hr graveyard! :)

On another note, I was thinking last night that we should try to do something on a truly massive scale.
Something rudimentary in shape; so that it takes little co-ordination. Imagine every player working toward the same goal and ending up with something massive.
