Lawl, obsidian everywhere. Also, have no idea if I'm ont he whitelist, but I would love to be added please. :3

Username in Minecraft is RizuChan.

K guys, for those who don't have it the IP is 76.74.159.41:26365 (if this isn't right, I'll correct it when I get home)

I need to be readded to the whitelist for some reason, I'm Avnas.

>>7
Disregard this, I typed in the thing wrong when I went to join it, I'm fine for the whitelist.

I AM SAD THERE WAS ALREADY A THREAD
BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO USE THIS PICTURE AS THE OP IMAGE

>>15

Those are some mighty fine dicks. I haven't been on the Mancraft server in the while, how's it holding up? Also, General Minecraft thread?

Enjoy this screenshot I took of the area near the spawn of my personal SMP server. The custom water is very pleasant, and animated properly too!

Found my first ever field of pumpkins :D

STOP JUMPING ON MY BED GUYS

Somethings wrong with my game. I can't see the sky anymore and there seems to be fog all around.

>>31
change the fog distance in the options.

>>28
But I liked your bed. :C

Also, we're just waiting on the server host to update, so be patient guys.

Is there a special way to get the texture packs to work besides just dumping them into the texturepack folder? Doesn't seem to want to work for me.

>>38
>To make a texture pack, make a zip file that contains the files you wish to replace, then place that zip file in the texture pack folder. There’s a handy button ingame to open that folder immediately.

>If you place a “pack.png” file in the root of the zip file, it’ll show up as a preview icon. Please make sure it’s square, and of an even 2^x size. For example, 128x128 pixels.
If you place a “pack.txt” file in the root of the zip file, the first two lines will show up as a description for the texture pack.

I've just installed BlackAndWhiteCraft, but I plan to do my favourite texpack (3D Dot Game Heroes) next. The problem is that it doesn't work with 32x32 textures right now, so we're waiting on that.

>>39
oh boy B&WCraft hasn't been updated

looks like I'll be running this instead
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=80195&p=1224843#p1224843

I keep getting kicked out because of 'outdated client.' I even tried deleting every bit of minecraft stuff and reinstalling. what's the deal?

>>44
see >>36

>>45
serves me right for looking through the thread at 3 in the morning.

Are we using hey0? There's a confirmed problem with hey0 and the update.

>>48
Yes we are and that's exactly the problem. We're waiting on our hosts to roll out updated hey0, but they're in the UK so their office hours are a bit of a bitch.

Server is working again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl36SsszqpY

>>50
Shit goddamn I didn't even think of reversing the skin to get screenshots like that. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME!

>>50
it may be working again but there is a block glitch going around
when you destroy blocks, they will respawn, sometimes it'l take 3-4 tries just to get rid of a block
it's not lag btw, tons of servers are having this problem

Ugh seriously guys? We can't even have a minecraft server without /someone/ being a dipshit? Whoever is fucking with people's stuff, knock it off. Stop stealing shit from people's chests, stop breaking shit around spawn, stop being a douchebag. If this keeps up we'll wipe the whitelist and start over and be a hell of a lot more fussy about who we let on.

>>67
and whoever placed the sign in my lawn and stole all my flowers: I didn't build a lake next to your shit.

Unless you're sage, but sage says you're not.

>>68
forgot to namefag.

>>67
and this is exactly why i stand by my:
>they still build directly around the spawn

abandoned in thier home universe, the intreped crew of the S.S Fagboat moved to a new game, to a new start

>>67
If you're talking about the portal in the middle of the spawn, the person who keeps breaking that is me. Reason being is that 1. The damn thing doesn't work so stop activating it until it does, right now it's just unneeded noise. 2. I don't need to clean up bricks shat every time I decide to walk from spawn to my house back to spawn again because someone decided to activate it again. Also there is a phantom one underground somewhere. I can hear it god damn I swear I'm not going crazy please turn that shit off.

But seriously dudes, we have community chest for all your needs and you can just ASK for items. Someone might have a spare they can dupe for you or the admin/mod will be happy to spawn you one on the spot. Uncool. :|

This is why we can't have nice things.

>>95
that's fine. she's not talking about that as much as the OH GOD WHY DID YOU COVER MY HOUSE IN SAND, WHERE DID THIS LAKE COME FROM AND WHY IS THE FOREST ON FIRE

I know this is random but...is it possible to get this server cartographed or whatever it's called?

>>105
one of the theories going around is that the fuckhueg 25mb .png map we had might have fucked up the chan's load and cause us to be suspended. but that's just theory. until we know either way, IMHO it's probably not a good idea to host the image on the chan...

>>106
Maybe the map can be uploaded to megaupload or something in a zip? I wanna try finding my house this time...

>>105
>>106
>>107
I'll do it when I run the backup tonight. And then host the file on megaupload or somesuch. Though now that everything seems to be resolved with the chan server, I don't think that's what caused the issue. But I'd rather not risk it all the same.

>>95
I've ripped the gate down completely and built a nice fountain in its place. I think I saw the other gate you're talking about when I was glitching and could see the entire world, but I have no idea how to get to it.

For anyone who hasn't been on in a bit, the spawn community supplies have also been consolidated into one building for easier access. The building also contains items that weren't in the other ones, so check it out.

First generated cartography map for the new world on Mancraft. Enjoy guys.

http://nyxen.org/MancraftV2gen1.png

>>116
>41MB png

but this fascinating, yes, thank you for the map. My house/resort isn't as far as I thought it'd be.

>>116
>my face when fuckhuge everywhere

also FUCK that is a huge snow biome

>>116
Is that a giant forest fire near the bottom?
That's going to eat the entire continent!

>>116

Thanks for the Cartogaph :D I can see my house from here (and my aerodrome)!

But, if you feel a 40-meg PNG is too... inadequate and impotent, you could try the Minecraft-Overviewer... It can generate a Googlemaps-style massive image of the map, zoomable and everything.
https://github.com/brownan/Minecraft-Overviewer

Quite nifty, here's an example
http://goonscape.org/map/

minecraft crashed and took my main world with it. god fucking dammit ;____;

>>134

You can rebuild it. Longer. Harder. Erect the tits out of that temple, until it is turgid and tumescent.

>>125
>FOREST FIRE

it wasn't me i promise
it appears to be near the tiki bar, so i will take care of it if someone hasnt already

>>125

I went to check it out, the forest fire is massive enough to lag the tits off of my game (to the point of crashing).
I didn't see any lava, it was probably a griefer. The fire is directly Northeast of the Spawn, 2-3 game days away.

The Cartograph map, by the way, is completely upside down. It's oriented towards the direction you spawn in, which is Southwest... So don't try to use it as a map unless you rotate it like 225 degrees first to make it face North.

>>139
confirming crashing
don't go near it or you'll lag yourself to death

>>140
actually nvm just don't go running straight into it
chop along the edges

also LOOK HOW FUCKING BIG THIS FIRE IS

>>142
Jesus christ, who started that thing? D:

Also, my bad on the cartography map. Apparently I flipped it when I created it. Next one will be correct. I hope.

>>142
aw yeah we showed that laggy crashing forest fire who's boss

in before rebb charged in there and promptly disconnected

We've turned off mobs to keep those pesky animals from setting the forests on fire. The forest behind the Tiki Bar was burned down because of a flaming pig. Oops.

http://nyxen.org/MancraftV2gen2.png
Newest cartography map. Its a little less detailed, but had to be done to get the correct angles of everything. This is how our world really looks, with true North and South.

>>150
oblique-angled, rotate works best i think

oh god i wish we could get this thing sorted out. i would love to stake a claim in the middle of that hugeass desert

Can I be added to the whitelist?
Name's MadamMaria, just the same.

>>150

Hate to be the bearer of bad news (again!), but the map is sideways, with North and South pointing Left and Right o.o

Hint: Use the aerodrome to help you find North. Runway 36 points North, Runway 18 points South.

... Also, the big-ass snow biome is south of spawn D:

>>151
>>156
I did that and it put North as South! Ugh, this stupid thing is annoying. The only way to truly get North and South set up correctly is to put it into Photoshop and rotate it there. But then it loses so much detail the second it saves. The Cartograph program doesn't allow for me to rotate except in ninety-degree increments or flipping it vertically. Frustrating. Sorry guys D:

Hydra, did you ever get re-added to the whitelist?

>>157
http://nyxen.org/MancraftV2gen3.png
Okay, here's the best I can do for you guys. Imagine the map tilted forty-five degrees to the right and you'll have true North and South. This gives the best grapical view, and for whatever reason it tilts the map at an angle. So North is actually pointed North-West which means that huge ass snow biome is really South-East of spawn.

>>155
Added.

>>157
no. we never did work out if i'd stopped killing the server

okay god damnit i have helped put out 3 massive tree fires in the past 2 days, can we please stop setting the map on fire

if you're doing it to clear out some trees i can understand, but god fucking damn do a check to make sure it won't set fire to any OTHER trees

and whoever set the tree farm near spawn on fire is a dick, i don't even see how that could have been accidental

we know it had to have been lit by someone because we turned off the mobs and there wasn't any lava around

i dont kill the server anymore :D

the Mojydra Outpost can begin construction

>>159
Yay, thanks Nyx!

My sandcastle is underway.

hello.
I just got mine craft, was wondering if i could be added it the whitelist?
my username is jeffian

So because someone was a dickbutt and burned down the tree farm, we now have a beautiful compass rose in its place, complete with true North. Thanks to Gravekeeper, Kiyi and everyone else who helped build it!

>>169
Added.

My tree is almost complete (good luck putting out that fire should it ever get lit up) and after a bit of furnishing, will probably be moving onto my next project. I had been thinking "castle" but that is kind of old and common...
Then I remembered playing the old Mario games and how there was one of Bowser's castles in the underground level, so I think I'm gonna clear out a massive underground hall and build my castle there.

>>171
And here's how it looks with the default Minecraft textures. I think the Painterly pack makes the mineral blocks look kinda same-y (look at the Iron and Diamond blocks), so the colors don't contrast as well.

But it's a step up from what Nyx was using before, where every block was Obsidian with a symbol inside(probably including air blocks and the sun and moon)...

Nyx's view of the world is emo and hipster :D

>>171
>>174

Wow, it looks really good.

I've been wondering if I could be added to the Whitelist. My user name is Silentsteel

>>174
Your face is emo and hipster.

>>175
You are added!

>>174
And HERES what it looks like with Okami textures!

>>179
>okami textures
what, I was not informed of this mod

that moon is just FABULOUS... and so is that elecman

>>180
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=78725

thats it if you want it, as a side note the x64 version works better. so for the tile size in the minecraft patcher it says to use in the instructions make it 64x64 instead of 128x128

>>177
Thank you!

May the chaos reign long and with great fun!

One glitched boat ride and a fast relogging later means I get to find my own corpse, complete with boat. Wat.

I just got the game, so NOOB HURR.

Can I be added to the whitelist? My username is Aliento

>>189
Maybe this explains Sammwich-brine.
one time Sammwich's clone thing was floating at spawn. few minutes later it was WALKING AROUND. I blocked his thing with blocks.when I undid it,it dissappeared. creepy.D:.

>>190
You're added.

I'm pretty sure the fire bandit is someone who was butthurt about being banned from the chan/Mantrain at one point.

There's no other reasonable explaination I can come up with for attacking my penis.

>>196
oh man :C i'm sorry about your penis
i think it's time we wipe the whitelist :l

>>196
>>197
As much as I want to blame this on someone, I'm starting to suspect that it might be a glitch. I've been reading up on this phenomenon and was surprised to find that random fires happen. For whatever reason. I'm not going to rule out that someone is being a douche, but that night with the treefarm it was all people I know and trust that were on. I'll look into some mods for the server, to maybe log when shit happens and who's on.

i think its about time for a new cart

Why the fuck do you people keep building shit out of wood?

I spent several hours on them, but I made Mega Man and Splash Woman!

Air Man and Elecman arn't mine, but they're awesome too.

They're next the the pyramid if you'd like to check them out.

>>201
Because I wanted to build a flaccid penis out of wood.
I'm not going to be rebuilding the penis since it was a PAIN IN THE ASS getting everything right the first time, and since I'm no artist, I don't think I'll be able to do the same a second time. Even if I make it with stone, it's just too much of a pain to rebuild. I'll find something else to build in the mean time (probably just a water slide or a roller coaster if the carts aren't broken).

>>201
why the fuck does anyone build things out of anything? because it looks good

Get down from there Bachuru.

That is lava.

You know you're weak to fire.

You silly spider.

cartograph fucking where?

>>214
Cartograph not fucking here. Deal with it. The server is unable to make a backup for us to use right now.

http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=61365

AWW YEAH MINECRAFT TF2 TEXTURE PACK

LOVE IT

>>216
And now the server is behaving. Here's the newest cartograph.

WARNING. THIS FILE IS MASSIVE.
http://nyxen.org/MancraftV2gen4.png

>>220
81mb! I've downloaded programs less than you!

81 fucking megabytes, jesus

I love how people spend 20 minutes just walking in one direction and expanding the map, and then build like one tiny thing there and forget about it. CAUSE BUILDING SHIT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF BUM-FUCK NOWHERE IS COOL GUISE.

>>224
i didn't see anything built in that ridicuhuge part

http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1668140652/smp-health-update-is-out

So Excite! Now for the server to update and for me to start punching creepers!

Whoo! I love me sum cartographs! I like how our Star Destroyer is shaping up.

Man, I wasn't around this weekend, and suddenly an asston of new builds! Also, seems *someone* decided to make a hangar on my airport. I have no idea who it was, but the tard who built it made with the the opening to the side...

I don't think I've ever seen a hangar open on the broad side.

It also seems to contain an ugly-as-sin plane made out of dirt blocks, and there's only one 100% organic airline in Mancraft, so... :D

Also, lol, someone is building a second baby airport... Now all Notch needs to do is give us some flying vehicles and we'll be in business. (That runway should be 27)

So now that mobs are attacking in updated servers, should we implement functioning fortresses and mob harvesters?

I'm out of town at my parents for now, so I won't be Mancrafting or messing about with the server. I'd kind of like to keep the server free of mobs... but what are the rest of you thinking?

>>244
I should namefag, derp.

Ok, as far as I can see it we've basically got two options.

The first is to continue as we were, with no mobs, teleporting everywhere, spawning items and all that on our current world.

The second is to enable the mobs and do things properly. Which would mean no more admins spawning items for everyone, no teleporting and a new world. After all, what's the point of doing SMP with what basically is cheats?

>>246
b-but my mountain resort
and my snowman

>>246
part of me is YAY MOBS
the other part is FFFFFFFF MY HOUSES NOOO

ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT
LET'S FUCKING DO THIS

IT'S PARTY TIME MOTHERFUCKERS

>>244

Aren't mobs conductive to world-encompassing firestorms and Server Rapture?

I've grown pretty attached to our current map- as far as having building blocks available, you don't necessarily have to see it as cheats; just think of it as Creative Mode, which is just as enjoyable as normal mining.

>>250

By mobs I mean normal animals AND monsters.

Basically what I am asking is: Do we want to play Creative? Or SMP? Cause I know I'm personally leaning towards SMP. Mmm, banding together in the wilderness against the forces of darkness. Delicious~

>>251
I don't care about my Great Pyramid, newly finished basement 2.0 or home, those can get rebuilt.

So I vote SMP

SMP baby!
We shall go forth on a holy, never-ending, crusade to cleanse the land of the undead and explosive. I'd be OK with that.
Some of the constructions might become dangerous though, they may not be properly lit.

I really, really, really dont want SMP. I'm perfectly fine with the current creative, relaxed nature of the server. I dont want mobs, I just wanna go on mancraft, relax, hang out, and build silly shit without worrying about it.

If I want to do something exciting and adrenaline-pumping, I'd go play TF2.

I put on my robe and wizard hat, and cast a vote for Creative mode. I like coming in and relaxing as I build and jump from the greatest of heights into the deepest of lavas.

it's too bad we don't have two servers
then we could do both

>>256
Actually as long as damage is on you can't do that anymore. Fall damage does not appear to be deactivate-able.

>>257
It would be nice, except Minecraft servers are not cheap. We got very lucky and got ours on sale.

>>265
aww, damn

>>246
dont you fucking dare change a thing

>>242
you saw nothing.

Perhaps we turn on monsters once in a while when they aren't bugged as fuck?

>>281

Didn't I?

>>287
ok you're right. what you have discovered is a top secret government installation.

everything going on here will be explained if you would kindly look at this light for me

Oy, I've been away too long (lol life) and never got around to finishing my.... anything.

BUT! I am full-speed-ahead for SMP. It sounds dangerous and fun. Foitin' and stuff. Just creating is nice and all, but having some actual danger makes it more worthwhile. I mean, what's better: A building you made with materials you were given, or one made with materials earned THE OL' FASHIONED WAY! I'm not one for being super competitive, but it makes everything have a little more wonder if people had to work to make the items, ya know?

I vote SMP

Well from the sounds of it, monsters are severely broken in SMP and would make our lives hell. So for now we're just going to stay where we are.

>>298
God damnit, I did it again.

* Swords and other weapons now deal damage properly
* Added proper hurt animations and sounds to mobs and players
* Fixed dead players logging in as invisible ghosts
* Made arrows visible and deal damage
* Hoes now produce proper seeds
* Creepers make noises and animate before exploding
* Explosions animate properly
* No more infinite free arrows
* Server logging now appends to server.log rather than overwriting it
* Buttons and levers (and a few other blocks probably, it’s a general solution) animate properly
* Fixed minecarts (and pigs!) moving twice as fast as they should when ridden.
* The join server screen now remembers the last entered ip
* Increased chunk saving frequency on the server
* Leaving sneak mode no longer triggers a million sounds
* You can now see sneaking players
* Names of sneaking players aren’t visible through walls, and are visible a much shorter distance
* Snowballs!!

>The join server screen now remembers the last entered ip
>server screen now remembers the last entered ip
>the last entered ip

YES! IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU ADDED SOMETHING LIKE THAT

Now just to get powered carts working and we're in business.

AUGH SOMEONE UPDATE THE CLIENT!

>>313
Its just a matter of us waiting for the server host to update. Unfortunately we don't have any hand in it, so just be patient guys. Thanks.

However, now that monsters have been fixed and whatnot... the question from earlier arises again. So far it looks like the majority of you would like a true SMP experience.

Yup.
Also, whitelist me again?
I seem to have been de-whitelisted...
Noka's the name.

>>314
Well, I've been preparing an off shore bunker for such events so I am prepared.

Also I have the same problem as >>318

>>318
>>319
You two are still in the whitelist. Right now the server isn't even working, so its likely that's why its saying you two aren't whitelisted. They haven't updated, they're waiting for some of the mods used on the servers to be updated for the newest release by Notch.

>>320
Oh ok.
Plans are being formed.

Client version 1.2.5
Server version 0.2.7 (not mandatory, but you might want to update anyway)

* Fixed a rather bad memory leak bug in the server (entity position updates accumulated in orphaned player objects)
* Riding carts and boats now works properly when you travel long distances.
* Harvesting crops no longer yields fake seeds
* Removed /home (sorry!)
* Snowballs again!

>>293

Well, if you leave it in Creative mode, those that want to just build, can build, and those that want to mine for stuff the old-fashioned way, can do so.

When Mancraft II went up, I built my house and my runway (not the whole airport) out of my own stash of mined material. After I went through all my blocks (losing a nice amount of them to Furnaces, yay!), I decided to use the community blocks, because the part of Minecraft that is most fun for me is the crafting... The mining kinda got me butthurt with all the reappearing blocks and other bugs that get in the way of collecting and cooking.

So yeah, I think it'd be cool to let those want to build, build, and let those that want to mine, mine :D

If we are considering a new map, may I suggest the following mod.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=76184&start=0

>>314
>>319
oh if we're just going to turn on monsters then bring it the fuck on. my warp isn't called Fort Hydra for nothing.

but...
>>327
i'm pretty sure the entire problem is that turning on survival means a new map.

which of course would earn mancraft ALL. OF. MY. RAGE.

This

All right, looks like the server has finally been updated. The server provider has warned us that there may be lag issues because of the update, so if you're lagging, that's probably why.

For those that are getting the whitelist error, I had it too when I tried logging in with the 'remembered' ip. When I copy/pasted the entire ip, including the port, in I was able to get in no problem. As I said, everyone is STILL in the whitelist, but if this doesn't work for you, let me know.

The map is unchanged as of right now.

come at me, creepers

that is a sexy fort.

GUISE I HAVE A QUESTION

If I want to make a pool that's more than like, one unit deep, do I literally have to scoop up seawater one block at a time and throw it in the pit I'm trying to make the pool in? Or is there some easier way to do it than that?

>>344
The only way I've found is to make the pool one unit deep, fill it, then dig the depth into it.

>>345
Pretty much this. Or you can dig it as deep as you want, put a layer one unit deep above the open area, add water, remove said layer. The physics of fluids don't work where you can just... fill it up.

Also:

* Added /kill command. Does 1000 points damage to the player
* Did some patching client side to prevent duplicated entities
* The join server page now remembers the port as well as the ip
* Fixed a bug where joining a server on a specific port caused the client to forget all keybindings
* Added lakes and rare lava pools, both on the surface and randomly in caves.
* Fixed a crash bug when destroying the vehicle from under a player
* Players connecting to a server or respawning are invulnerable for three seconds

You guys won't need to put in the ip anymore for the whitelist to work. Woohoo!

What the hell. I was banned or something. That fire ISN'T MY FAULT.
Whoever the faggot is that did that, it wasn't me. I didn't burn down whoevers fucking house that was.

>>348
What the hell are you even talking about. Names and specifics would be helpful.

>>348
Well, you've never posted in this thread as it is, so I doubt you've even been whitelisted in the first place.

Unless you want to give more details, like Nyx said.

how big is the file size of the map? if it comes to nuking it, i would realy like to continue my work in single player

Well after a bit of an absence, I finally finished my Stairway to Heaven (2.0).

Now I'm gonna explore, so many things built, plus they look different with the texture packs I use. It's like a brand new world each time.

I was wondering if i could join the white list, i'm Moried in minecraft

>>347

>Also:

>Added /kill command. Does 1000 points damage to the player

I no longer feel safe around you, Nyx

(Also, dammit how many time zones am I from everyone that no one's online when I'm on? D:)

>>394
You're added.

>>395
Haha. Don't worry, I won't abuse that. Much. :D

(Dunno dude, seems like people are playing all the other new games being released and crap.)

Who built this unauthorized addition behind my house? I really would have appreciated asking about it first.

I'm not mad, I just want to know who it was...

So I waited through the night so I could carry on looking for a place to build my new SEEKRIT BAES.

The sun never rose. D:

Tis the season~

Hey can I get on the server whitelist?
My minecrooft name is chanicle

>>406
Added!

>>396
i think its more the whole "continue as you were, we're still deciding when to nuke the map" thing

>>412
thanks :D

Started working on this as soon as I got added
It's the view from the top of the steps to my water temple
just need to finish the temple part now

a lot of thanks to aliento for their help!

On second thought, we should wait on blowing up the server until we see what new updates are on the way. It'd be terrible to restart the server again, and then find out there's an update that puts, like, cats near the spawn point of new maps or something.

>>421
I want cats near spawn points. :C

Nah, I don't think either of us are intending to blow up the server anytime soon. So go ahead and build, build, build!

>>426

What Nyx said. I'm too busy to do anything drastic to the server right now. Fucking Christmas.

Looks like whoever got into my email also changed the password on my Minecraft account. What a dick.

>>429

Oof, did that happen because of the Gawker clustercock?

I would like to know how the chicken got in there to begin with.

Minecraft has the /best/ modding community. I kind of want some of these on the mancraft server. Just to add a whole new level to exploring.

I'm so bored without mancraft lately... I haven't been able to connect to the server in forever. First, it was just outdated, now it wont get past "logging in..."

I know you guys have no control over updates being applied to the server, so I'm not bitching at you guys, I just needed to vent a bit. I miss my treehouse!

Hope the server is back up soon!

>>470
yes this is getting just a tad annoying

>>444
I've never heard of this.

>>473
Yeah, you're telling me. I've finally submitted a ticket because everything SHOULD be fixed now and its not. These guys really took their sweet-ass time getting the servers updated and now it looks as if the update isn't working, at least for our server. I'll let you guys know what they have to say in response to the ticket.

Okay guys, here's the deal. Apparently the world corrupted and their only option is to either use a backup or start a new map. Considering the massive size of our current map, I told them to create a new world for us. I am currently downloading the last backup that WORKED, and at this point I'm not even sure its good. The world was so massive I had to fight to get the damn thing to back up. If this download is good, I'll upload it so you guys can continue to build things and explore if you want on your own. Sorry about this, but a fresh new world means fresh new things to build!

Well, GawkerMedia got compromised by some script kiddies a couple of weeks ago, and so any registered member of their sites (Kotaku, Jalopnik, Fleshbot, etc.) got their emails and account passwords released in a tidy little torrent for the whole world.

Not one of Gawker's finest moments.

>>478

But.... Our beautiful utopia! Nooooo....

>>478
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I say start anew.

oh i got spurs that jingle jangle jingle...

>>480
Yeah I know. I do have the latest backup and it WORKS. I've uploaded it to my ftp and you guys are welcome to download it and continue working on things. The Caddyshack is even there with many of the supplies so you won't be starting blind.

I'm still working with our server provider to find out what the issue is, but either way it looks like we'll be starting fresh.

>>478
So, any ideas for Mancraft World 3 (3,4 whatever)? I'm assuming were keeping it on peaceful. The spawn was a little crowded, should we build the area into a supply village (like we had before only more extensive and with particular items in each "shop," like a wide spread community chest) so we can avoid that? Should we have a theme so we don't have air-craft carriers next to medieval castles (I personally didn't mind that)?

>>484
Also, we must build a Spleef stadium near spawn.

Well I'm sad that all my awesome shit is gone, but I'm also super happy that I get to build tons of new shit now...

I'm going to lay claim to some prime real estate near spawn this time!

i joined my first true SMP server. its a fucking war zone. the spawn is a massive fucking hole in the ground. the buildings built nearby are blown to hell and back. until you get a decent distance from the spawn the ground is littered with craters. why?

supersonic lag-creepers. if you're luck you will see them coming at a billion miles an hour. other times they just teleport next to you and explode.

horay for smp

>>492
D: got any pictures?

i will never have a house this good again

>>495
Oh my that is gorgeous.
You guys make me want this game pretty bad

Are we online or have I stumbled into another server by accident?

Have Miner and I just been crafting on somebody else's map? The server (used the IP) looks completely fresh and clean :S
>>495
Holy christ nice!

>>498
How did you get the mini-map in the corner of your screen?

>>503
Its a mod, let me find it...

Its got better lighting and things too.

We are DEFINITELY up and running now. I just confirmed today that we're on a new map and everything works. I'm currently housesitting right now so I'm not on my computer and this one is incredibly slow, so I'll try to get up a supply house but i can't make any promises. BUT... we have a server that works again!

the server works, but.. i can't play with the amount of lag it has. warped to caddy, picked up the glass i was making, warped back home.

the chunks didn't load in time and i fell into oblivion and lost everything. :|

I was working on my house when I spotted this forest fire. I ran over as fast as I could and chopped down some trees to prevent it from getting to the spawn. Whoever built this, be more careful about how close you let lave get to trees. Fire CAN spread through walls. The lava in this structure had a tree right behind it. Be careful people =P

>>522
I'm actually surprised that it hadn't caught fire before this. But yes, lava can set things on fire one or two more blocks away.

behold, my new island

Is it always this laggy on the new server? I get booted constantly when i'm the only person D:

Whoever made these... are you trying to give us nightmares? :C

>>531
I've noticed some weird lag glitches, but haven't actually had any issues with disconnecting.

And here's the first rendition of our new world.

File is almost 14mb.

There's a handy dandy compass in the ice by the Caddyshack. Not nearly as nice as the compass rose on the last one though. :C

So far, I'm liking the new map, lotta cool formations to make a building out of. I little too much snow for my tastes though.

>>539
That is definitely why I built them. I don't know how to build the spider and Ghast though.

stone and cloth for the ghast, not sure about the spider.

>>544
I was talking more about how to get those angles without looking awkward.

if you make it big enough, the angle shouldn't be a problem.

All right. Who's the dickwad that keeps taking down the trees around the Caddyshack and then putting down OBSIDIAN? Seriously not amused.

okay so
since i obviously can't build my fucking house because the fucking chunks don't load in time and i keep dying
somewhere there's a cave with a deck overlooking the sea, and it's got ladders and fences in it
that's mine, have fun with it
idgaf

>>555
If I catch 'em in the act, I'll let you know.

I've got a bit of a weird request, could my hubby be added to the whitelist? He's a giant dork but a nice guy. His Minecraft ID is Bobcoon.

>>556
Sorry you're having lag issues Kiyi. Unfortunately there's not much I can do about it. :C

>>557
He's been added!

>>556
disconnect and reconnect. presto chunko

>>559
oh jegus fuck
thank you

now i can finish my house

I don't understand why people join, then run away for half an hour to find a location miles away to build something nobody else is going to see. They're just making the map unnecessarily big :/

>>568
This. Seriously, whoever is building shit way out the fuck in the middle of nowhere, cut that shit out. It's bad for the server and makes the files and shit bigger. If you want to build shit that only you will see, do that in single player.

Hmm yeah. Nyx could I suggest maybe on the next map (or whatever) you explore a certain radius then put up adminblock walls around to stop it from getting so big? Of course ingame that'd be rediculously tedious, I mean open the world's folder with MCedit. Much easier. Thats assuming the world is run from your pc though, my bad if its not, and my apologies if you're not really arsed hahaha.

>>577
Yeah, I don't actually run the server from my computer. Mog got us Mancraft through a gaming server provider and I don't believe that's even an option we can try.

I tend to wander on the maps, so I know I add to the size, but I have to agree to an extent. The last two maps have gotten so large that I was unable to back them up through the game server console and were close to 200mb in size just for a cartograph map. I dunno, I understand wanting to explore and finding the perfect spot, and I hate it when spawn gets crowded, but I'm thinking the massive size of the last maps were what killed them ultimately. At this point I'd say its not really an issue... we aren't seeing the same traffic on here at all like the last two. Which I'm understanding is partly due to people suffering lag. Unfortunate, but there's nothing we can do about it. The server provider even moved all their Minecraft servers to machines better able to handle Beta, so its a bit puzzling that people are experiencing lag.

Looking for some advice on the subject of Minecraft servers.

A friend of mine is looking to set up an Australian-based server (as the US one we were playing on went survival and with the delay it's just too hard for us to be there anymore) and she's been looking around for a decent host.

The problem is that we don't really have any idea of what we're looking for or even what we need. In regards to slots and space we don't need an incredible amount, even if we each bought in two friends we barely make twenty people. User-managed is preferred, as we do have a friend in tech support that can help us out.

The main issue is price, becuase there's so few of us the bill won't be split far, so cheap is preferred.

Any suggestions are welcome really.

My minecraft handle is BunniPlz. Can I be added to the whitelist? I understand though if you say no because I'm such a lurker type.

>>584
Added!

Oh man, I need to come back and build Echo Base Aerodrome again- I'm glad there's lots of flat ice surface to do it on in the new map :D

I missed you guys! When the old map exploded, I shifted my gaming energy to BFBC2 Vietnam with a few IRL friends of mine... It's become an addiction, just like TF2 and Minecraft... *Eyes the untold amount of games on his Steam list that go unplayed because of these three games)

>>595
Yes, come back to us! Also, I completely know what you mean.. I have so many games now on Steam and I only really play a couple of them. I'll get to the rest... eventually.

Whoops, looks like we're auto-saging.
