Updated to 1.5_02!!! Please update your Minecraft to help with the server. :> The only things that may not really work are in-game editors, but everything else should be fine. EDIT: DYNMAP IS NOW SETUPPPPP *so proud of herself* Anyway, linky: 50.23.251.89:8132/ |

As far as I can understand, it is Google Maps-based, and it's not Flash. Anyway, Chrome, Firefox 3.6 here, all working just fine. |

By the way, don't expect the whole screen to be covered by map. In order for dynmap to be like that, the server would have to not be touched for a few hours so it could load all of the map (it's an in-game prompt and uses a lot of resources from the server, so I didn't run it for very long). |

Figured it out, for some reason the default setting for the Adblock add-on I use is to block all scripts. I turned back on most scripts now. And guess what- It rains on our server: often, I think I heard lightning too. took a few screenshots will put em on wikidot later got stuff to do first. ^_^ |

Just so you know, lightning can hurt wood or cloth structures-as i think that storms are a good thing atmosphere-wise, i will just ask you to not worry, as we have backups for everything.

Liking the floor plan btw. that gap between the buildings could be fashioned to be a courtyard/ communal gathering place for sure.

Liking the floor plan btw. that gap between the buildings could be fashioned to be a courtyard/ communal gathering place for sure. You mean the gap between the to-be library and the great hall? yes, that would be the idea. Also, goofanader neutralized the lightning fires, so people, build without problems. EDIT: We added etheric awesomeness! You people can now use runes, from the original runecraft mod. Accept no substitutes. For who's not familiar with runes, please have a look here: www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Runecraft#World_RunesThe runes warps do support multiworld, and are more fun to use than old plain commands. More than that, they allow players to get some kind of roleplay feel that is very nice for me - we're the builders of the Court, i'm sure at the time of the court founding everyone and his dog *cough wolftreefoxcoyote cough* could wield magic of some kind. Furthermore, and this is the main reason, rune teleporters allow players to switch worlds-i'll set up a gate to move to and fro the "internal world" in which players will build the interior of buildings that are too big to place in the main world in 1:1 scale with sufficient detail. Please look at the previous pages for the complete suggestion. If you ask yourself about the REAL parallel worlds, such as Zimmingham, or in a sense Dr. Disaster's simulations, those are areas that should not be accessible on an unrestricted basis with runes, but logically, only after entering an area or doing some actions. We're working on it. A complicated thing to implement, indeed. For the time being, i guess we'll allow rune teleporting there. Stay tuned. Also, right now the runes are unrestricted, but as soon as someone misbehaves, don't worry: i'll just remove them. VERY IMPORTANT: if you notice anything weird, for example crashes or whatnot, while using runes, please report it immediately. I do not want server instability. |

I can see the map at default zoom, but any attempt to zoom in or out is bad. If I zoom out, I lose the left and bottom halves of the map. If I zoom in, I lose the whole lot. I can, however, still see the player-icon showing that someone is active. |

But you may not have the same problem... |

So, Tom provided publicity for the server again. Thank you, Tom. This brings us to a problem. The server now gets more attention than just the forum crowd, but is inaccessible without being whitelisted. AND being whitelisted immediately gives you build privileges. I have a proposal. Let's do magic to the Permissions plugin and set up default "Guest" rules, where only read-only commands can be used on the world (not restricting, for instance, /jumpto-style movement), and migrate from whitelisting to permission groups. That way, curious outsiders will be able to check the progress, all while being unable to damage the server. After all, we don't have that Iron Tier for nothing. ..kind reminder: it won't hurt to donate. goofanader had to pay the second invoice by now, if she's on monthly billing. Also, brohoster news. There's an option to move the server to a faster SSD machine now with a slight increase in price. Let's discuss it: do we need faster chunk-loading? |

I'll take a look at the Permissions thingy right now. Thanks for motivating me Xan.
Also yeah, that's what i said some days ago-Goofanader is paying as time goes on, so we should build as hard and fast as possible.

May I please get white listed? Username is jettyjay Later today, if Goofanader is ok with it, i'll reboot the server with the new Guest group, and eliminate the whitelist in favor of a real privilege system. Guests are whoever logs in without authorization, allowed to watch but not to build. I would be happy if you helped test the system out with me, of course if Goofanader is ok with it. |

If you had been whitelisted before, you automatically have building privileges. Those who want to join now should either ask to be added to the build list or ask an admin in-game. So, if you just want to walk around and look at stuff, you can! We don't have mobs, so it should be fine. For ops: We have a plugin that lets you add permissions in-game. I'll add the help file in a little bit. |

Post by agasa on Apr 29, 2011 18:02:45 GMT
that's because i'm enabling multiworld. Edit: There. it's up for a while. Edit:Ok, i did set everything up. Permissions and all. The whitelist is no more required, everyone can enter as a guest and later we will give them building privileges. Tell me if you have problems logging in or anything. Right now we have these options to create teleporters: 1) the ever useful Runecraft manual teleporters 2) the Nethergates (but those need to be linked with admin consent, i'll iron this detail out later) 3) the Blue TelePads, a type of automatic step-on teleporter that is about perfect for the building inside-outside on different maps. More information forums.bukkit.org/threads/tp-blue-telepads-v0-5-commandless-and-multi-world-teleporation-740.13548/I've done a small test with the blue telepads for the small outside-big inside building concept, you can find the results of the concept at a small stone home-thingy on the left of the second-year dorm concept in the plains. There are a few problems that will be fixed, but anyways test it out and tell me what you think. |

There are a few problems that will be fixed, but anyways test it out and tell me what you think.It works fine, although the fact that you have to stand on the plate until the teleport kicks in is a little... well, not weird, but it doesn't feel like walking through a door. I mean, when I arrive at my house, I don't have to stand in the doorway for ten seconds before going inside. But I suspect that might not be fixable, and in any case it's not really a big problem. Also, the map it takes you to allows monsters to spawn, so if you arrive there at night it's fairly terrifying. On the plus side, I collected some bones! Now to find a wolf... |

When I first went through the teleporter I was stuck as if everything it was still loading, but I was able to unstick myself using the /jumpto command. The portal worked fine on the way out though. (Also those creepers freaked me out after not seeing any monsters on the map!)
The runes are pretty neat too!

Suggestion, get a mod which disallows creeper explosions. I know there are mods out there that get rid of the block damage for the explosions (and damage for people but not other mobs). I accidentally got swarmed by creepers while in some sort of test area (reached by blue portal stone thingie) and several holes were made.

EVERYONE can enter as a guest (in theory at least. I need brave testing souls to test this) and get building privileges later!is it the crazy rainbow land building? Nope. It's a completely drab grey small building in the plains, near the second year dorms (you know, wooden ones, with...legs? pile-dwelling.) But I suspect that might not be fixable, and in any case it's not really a big problem. Never underestimate the possibilities of bettering a situation! Fix'd. To an extent. [  ] You will be back to testing now, while i study...this...problem in the other room! [/ ] |

Oh sir, please cut the flattery, i'm not worthy *blush*  This is the plan for the Old Library, that will be placed underneath the new one:  black is wall, brown is bookcase, red (you can see it if you look hard!) is a secret door (to what? no idea. a painting with footsteps inside.) while the small spiral in the corner has a staircase in the center leading to the labyrinth, and the entrance to this level from the upper library is a teleporter or staircase at one of the blue pixels in the three corners. I was subconsciously thinking of the wizard home/library in the ice dungeon of Ultima Online fame. Hail to Lord British, and bonus points to who knows what i'm talking about! Seriously tho, i'm looking for advice. This is matter of compact level design, and level design is SRS BSNSS.EDIT: Old library, Labyrinth, and connection between them and the New library are all in place. You're welcome to try them out-to open the secret door in the new library, right click on the iron block. If you would be so nice to put ladders where they're needed for the return trip, go ahead and thanks. EDIT EDIT: I just realized the old library needs MORE COLUMNS. i'll try to work them in-not really easy at this point-but i have powertools. ha. If you want to contribute a new map for the old library (the labyrinth is fine as it is, really) i'll add here the original plans to feed to the utility, so you can take the colors from them and whatnot.  |

I hate to post twice in a row, but i'm afraid you would never notice the updates if i continued to edit my posts silently to add them in. This topic has been a bit dead lately. First of all, read the stuff i wrote just up here. Second, we added a plugin for enforcing peaceful on the mobs of all worlds, and this one works. Third, my minion is doing a wonderful serie of screenshots at the new places that were recently built, they'll be shortly up on the wiki. Fourth, i updated the conversion tool with a few bugfixes. You can find it in the topic at mc forums i linked. Fifth, the server just went a great danger due to an hacker's attack compromising brohoster's security, but thanks to our awesome administrator, everything ended well That would be all for today news. I'm also thinking to build an optical theremin, but this is off-topic . Have a great day! |

I feel like I havent been on lately. Thats because I havent. Has anything really happened? Because it looked pretty messy last time I was on. A lot of work was done on the library, as sorta shown by the screenshots on the wiki, even if they don't do justice, because even if it's a megastructure, it's also underground and mostly composed of small-to-medium sized rooms. Also, a lot of buildings were outlined around the court entrance-i think they're enough in raw area to house the scholastic needs (classes, gym, first year dorms, study rooms, what-have-you). I guess we may have to change their shape a bit tho. A prototype for a maglev station section has been created, It's pretty. It's also modular so it's even prettier. This was also not done by me, and this makes me happy. Also, i wrote a program that lets us create complicated buildings, with everything in from the start, in so little time. A new plugin was also written (shamelessly inspired/modified from the Blue Telepad one) that lets you teleport silently, efficiently, and create invisible step-on teleporters that let you make unlimitedly big buildings, and stuff with apparently impossible geometry (such as the aformentioned library) There's also a world now that is for storing building interiors when necessary by space constrictions, to use with the above teleporty goodness. I guess we've done a lot of work. The place is messy how? If you find it messy, let's talk about it and make it better. It's my greatest desire. Seriously. I've not done the schematic-o-matic tool for my exclusive use. EDIT: The server has been attacked by cheating griefers tonight. I'm restoring it. They've been identified and are not people we know anyways. Excuse the downtime. |
