Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

Dear god sir! I demand to know how you've built this machine! I need two of them... We're building to scale so be aware.

 

Some more screenies uploaded:


JR says nice things about my pryamid by KroyMortlach, on Flickr

Don't forget the 123 metre height limit (exc. 5 metres of bedrock)

Are you playing on the SMP server Brawl with many of the BT community or on teh official server?

 

Aw crap!
After finally being able to play a little, I no longer seem to be able to log on.

Edit: I get the impression our Creative server has been shut down. :S Hm, will try again later.

 

Nice pics Kroy! I liked the lava-knives - a lot to learn from that. My next trap I'll build the actuall knife much closer to collection-point. This to ensure that the loot stays longer at said point. Or does anybody know/experienced that dropped items in motion (ie. moving in water) takes longer to disappear than items just laying on the ground (I was thinking in the lines of a time-out that doesn't get set until the items have stopped moving)

At the same time, having the spawn-area some distance from the collection-point so that monsters do spawn. Think I've read here at the forum that they spawn between 44 and one-hundred-something.. ..is that counted in all directions, like upwards and downwards also?

 

Default is 200 mobs (passive included) and is counted on all active (i.e. has players on it) chunks (all levels of a chunk)

 

what? no! i certainly hope not!

why wont they update the creative server? ive been wanting to play around with music blocks since beta but its impractical on survival

EDIT: also, 200 aggressive mobs and like 20 passive mobs at any given time (so says wiki).

 

No thecreative server is still up, I was just on it

 

Hm, just connection issues then. :/
Haven't been able to log on all day - I just time out.
Will try again in a little while ... watching Fringe at the moment.

 

That's usually the MC.net login servers being lame. It's been happening constantly ever since they did the server move which was supposed to "alleviate" the problem, though it's only made it worse.

 

Yea, but you do need to hack mc to get on the old creative server as they havent updated the darn thing

 

MC.net is dead.. can't login to anything. Sigh.

 

Yes, they're still awaiting a working update to hmod - or a working alternative.

 

like the one that XM is using on the survival server?

i think multiplay is just dragging their asses on it

 

I need the creative server.....now

 

There's been one out for weeks now.. lol.

 

I went back into the thread and pulled out all the cartos I could lay my hands on, for my own benefit but thought I should share them together in one post incase anyone is interested.

Here they are, in no particular order.

There may be some I missed.



edit: doesn't include the 41mb one

 

Niiiice!.

 

Yes, but it's buggy as hell apparently.

 

Because there is some debate on moving far or not, i feel the need for a small compromise. I for one love the old town and have put a lot of effort into my trap and such to just leave it behind. 4 MC days travel is too much imho. Added to this that i have no idea what this would do to the server. I know, it should handle it.. but hey, it's still Notches handywork we are talking about.

So i have come up with a new location which i feel ticks all the boxes.

- It's new (birch and such)
- It has a large body of water for the floaty town thingy
- It has landmass for the land-builders
- It is close to snow
- It is far away, but not to far (canal/rail-link)

So please tell me what you think Ofcourse, when this is the new spawn.. you could always veer off by yourselves like Jr did? just a suggestion.



Edit:

And due to increasing lagg (i guess mapsize) I have increased the heap-size from 1.5 to 2.5 GB. I hope this fixes things

Edit2:

Just a reminder, The time for the move is set at 19:00+/+ GMT (going to see the new Tron movie today ) I hope everyone can be there

 

OK with me

Want to make a new home anyways - as CakeCastle is more or less done...
