Weekend Discussion
Check it out, if you can. It's brilliant.
- Alice O'Connor: I finished up Red Dead Redemption last week so I might get stuck into Undead Nightmare. On the other hand, I did also just complete Assassin's Creed 2 so I might be swayed by AssBro. Expect next week's Morning Discussion posts to be filled with either cowpoke talk or cussing about the inanity of AC's sci-fi layer.
- Brian Leahy: I'll be finishing up Donkey Kong Country Returns for my review along with some more Call of Duty: Black Ops, Halo: Reach, and maybe a few backlog games now that the releases are winding down.
- Garnett Lee: I'll be hitting the roads of Seacrest County in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and playing some objective modes in Black Ops online. Tempted to start something new but with GT5 looming I also want to keep the decks clear.
- Xav de Matos: I went to my local gaming retail establishment and grabbed Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and plan to play a little of both. But the priority is playing online Call of Duty: Black Ops in both 2D and 3D for Monday's multiplayer stats comparison feature. Oh, the things I do for you guys and gals!
- Jeff Mattas: I'll be giving the HD versions of NBA Jam a workout, and shanking some randomly-assigned strangers in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood multiplayer. Boom-shacka-lacka! And stab!

Yay! The shadowdane renders are updating again! I can see my new building and a ton of progress all over the map. Now all I need is for the building I submitted to be labeled on the map and I'm set.
The server has seemed kind of dead lately, probably due to the issues with the blocks reappearing, but hopefully now that people can see their progress again they will come back.-
I just added your label, it will update on the next render pass.
-
Thanks.
I started building an underground area to eventually connect to your guys' subway system. It's gonna be eating up pretty much all of the time I spend on the server, especially with the dumb block bug. I'll invite you guys to take a look once it is furnished and such, since I think it is going to turn out pretty nice.

need cart experts
Last night I mostly finished an automatic minecart station here:
http://216.139.192.52/~djr/mc/gmap/index.html?x=650&y=64&z=500&zoom=8
It is the start of the cart track to the water park. The station can hold 8 or 9 carts ready to use, and more in a chest.
Use:
There should normally be a cart waiting on a pressure plate. Get in, and within 2 seconds you should be launched. About 4 seconds later, another cart will be waiting on the pressure plate for use.
Refill:
Once the waiting carts are used, the station must be reloaded. Just put carts down the track that they come up from (main track, opposite the direction that you leave from), waiting about 5 seconds between carts.
DEBUG:
Under the floor there should be a cart going in a circle, being pushed by a booster. This is the cart that launches you, and then after it launches you, it goes and launches a cart waiting in a pile up to the pressure plate. It may stop going in a circle, or it can occasionally get stuck on the track. Just make sure it is going and everything should work.
I need HELP:
I'm trying to make a signal so that you can tell if the station needs to be refilled with carts.
Anyone know if you can detect when a pile of minecarts is empty, or near empty?
I have a pile of waiting minecarts on the station. They sit on a 1/2 block as I saw a video that suggested that if they don't, occasionally two carts get pushed.
If the 1/2 block wasn't needed, I could add a wood pressure plate to tell if the pile was empty. It doesn't seem like carts will push a button on a wall the are touching, or else I could put a button on of the wall next to the pile and could then tell if there was only one or two left.
I'm basically using this layout for the station, with a few changes of my own: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoOkh3nee2c

crashes on start up for me too... i dunno I shackmsg'd mroizo about it but haven't gotten a response yet.
-
-
yah i can use the command-line version fine... but still would be nice if the GUI worked.
-
run it from a command-line then:
Oizomapper.exe -input Folder_Name -renderer "Birds Eye Renderer" -output Output_File.png-
-
You can change to different renderers, the hard part is you have to know the exact string for them.
"Birds Eye Renderer"
"Oblique Renderer"
"Oblique Angle Renderer"
Those are the only ones I know off the top of my head...

I hate SMP -_-. I been working on LttP little by little lately, mainly got distracted IRL for some days but I figured I could knock out Kakariko by sunday... until I realized how fucking annoying digging is. It's such a pain in the ass digging up blocks 4 times to remove them... I'M TRYING lol. I usually pop in when no one's on though, so that would explain why no one has really seen me around there lately :).
-
Same. I am admittedly stalling my current work in hopes of a decent patch.
-
-
checked out the Quake3World MC server... they have done some slick stuff -- http://mc.quake3world.com/mcmap.png
-
sorta small, makes it cute

mc.quake3world.com :)

Damnit, they took my spiral pyramid! Well they didn't take it but I been holding out doing that exact design in hopes of finding a desert biome I like.

Actually Q3DM6 is recreated pretty decently, its north of the spawn.

Who's the douche stealing diamond blocks from spawn area and cleaning out the spawn chests?
-
Have you seen this? Hell, even shows player positions dynamically. Oh, and sometimes you can even see them gathering together at the cathedral! http://www.brauhaus-der-hoffnung.de/map/
-
um whoa
-
Shadow, they seem to be using this: https://github.com/brownan/Minecraft-Overviewer
-
Oizomapper already does this... i plan to switch to the Google Maps Renders soon for the Angle mode. They must be using some kind of server plugin for the real-time player positions though.

i wonder what they are using to do that?

Probably something like this: http://forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=272

or this. http://forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=1295 There seems to be a few who had the same idea
-

because somebody will likely re-create a gaping anus?

Thats pretty awesome, I really like some of the designs they have done.

Doing a little exploring on my server... Holy Shit that is a HUGE Pumpkin Patch - http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/Minecraft/holyshit_pumpkins.png

Jarlandor, we require that builders have either 100 posts or be registered for 3 months. Since you don't meet either of these criteria, we'll need you to find someone that will vouch for you (they can reply to this) before we'll set you up with build access.
-
I vouch for him
-
[deleted]
-
hehe I don't know why it says so, but I registered 30th september. So says the email I got from shack.
I still vouch for him.-
-
that is because I have been occupied at shackeast.sytes.net building wonders.
-
who vouched for you originally? Maybe he'll spread the love to your buddy
-
Exmx, or Horgen ingame. Guess I have to ask him. My words seems worthless.
-
-
Yes have realised that

jarlandor will be helping me, Horgen and Keej down bye the Hue Jazz Bridge. Please give him access.
I vouch Jarlandor and all that he stands for.-

this is some self-vouching scheme they got going

waiting for notch to fix the game.

I've been playing on a private server with a couple friends and my son. Since we all share the same work schedule (except my son) its easy for us to build at the same time. When I get on mercs server i feel like I am just slowing things down for everyone else. Even my own project often gets left standingfor a weeks at a time before i can get back to it.
-
i cant login
-
can't login either. That's why I used to not logout when I was going to be away for a while. But some dumbshit likes to stack dynamite near me when I go AFK now so I logout.
-
ya the server much be fucked. cause i can login to shadowdane's fine. sigh, there go my plans :(

my experience is every time my server has crashed, I've had a few corrupted chunks. I usually restore from the last backup if a crash happened.
Granted with with ShackEast and that massive world, it might be easier to restore corrupt chunks with WorldEdit?-

My server has a load of 20-30 players. It seems I have to stop it and relaunch every 10-12 hours no matter what, when the server starts lagging and the terminal complaints about head space exhausted. Its like if a pile of memory gets burned slowly. I am thinking on doing a script that warns players and reboots the thing every 10 hours or so...

Portals. I was in a german server this afternoon and they had portal-kind of things. Each different city or area had one, each one linked to a main station with portals leading to many differnt places. The portals looked like columns of water surrounded by misc. materials (wood, iron, whatever) It worked like a charm and was really really nice. I am looking for the plugin to install on my server... have you had experience with such plugins? I have found this, but the low number of comments makes me think its not really working: http://forums.redstonewire.com/viewtopic.php?f=1012&t=55757

It's down... i don't think its been up for a few days.
