Good catch! ;D
I saw a few people logging in with old clients and getting disconnected-i'm updating immediately, hope it doesn't break stuff up too much. Let's cross fingers.

[arden]

I'm getting:

internal exception java.net.socketexception connection reset

When I try and log in. Is there anything I can do to get around this?

[arden]

er,
internal exception java.net.sockettimeoutexception read timed out
I mean.

[Xaien]

I'd like to be a super builder too. I've worked with the copy, cut, and paste commands quite a bit but I haven't tried MCPixelart yet. Also, do we have any sort of fly mod in the server?

[agasa]

EDIT:After "Sanitizing" The backup, removing all entities (creepers) and TNT, the crash has been resolved. I await for an explanation from someone. You're now free to log in.

Some stuff is still broken. You would not be able to build, apparently...That would be plugins acting up due to the updates. Trying to fix it ASAP.


arden: i'm getting that too, and i'm not finding a fix. It's really grating, i hope Goofanader can understand what's going on.I think i found a reason (broken plugins), working on it. Grrr. It was working fine before, i wonder how this happened.

EDIT: i thought i nailed it, but i was wrong. i get this error log:

It seems some related to tnt causing an out-of-memory error. It happens once, and makes everything collapse. someone used a large amount of TNT recently?

Oh La La.

Now, this is the first time the error happened, i'm not sure that's what caused it.

Polifrog, what exactly did you do? Maybe it's not even your fault, but i would like to know.

Xaien: what's your minecraft name? and no, fly mods are client-side. I ALLOWED fly mods on the client from the server side, so you're free to use whatever you like. I could load a server side flying carpet mod if you like, tho.

[arden]

It's working now, but it seems I can't destroy or place blocks. =\

[agasa]

Indeed. Did you even read what i wrote just above? trying to find a fix, bear patience.

I would like goofanader to help since i don't have much time...

[agasa]

The permission file format was changed a lot with the new version. I found the problems, updated all the plugins, and fixed everything. Unfortunately the Help plugin caused so many problems i had to remove it permanently, at least until a new version, and the Spells plugin likewise.

This said, EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT NOW! Come in and build!

EDIT: I feel it's necessary that I excuse myself for my actions. Due to real-world problems, mainly the exams and my own laziness, I didn't dedicate myself to this properly. The problem would have been fixed much sooner if I did.
I apologize sincerely.

Hi, I am extremely new at minecraft, but would like to help (or just look). my minecraft name is YAUUN (all uppercase). Have some ideas for Battersea style power stations (if you need them).

OO we do need to start work on the etheric Hydrostatic power station.
Feel free to build a mini concept of bits then if we like we'll make a huge version with your help.

[agasa]

You've been added to the server, Yauun. I had this automatic factory idea for a while, actually. We could also build a mechanical dam and all kinds of cool stuff. Keep up the good work. I'll start on an autofactory concept pretty soon. It'll actually be useful to create -power- for the court, in the form of automatic furnace wood creation and distribution, and other things too...

Basically, if my idea works out, we'll have actual "robots" under our service.

You'll like it.

That is, if someone volunteers to help!

[Xaien]

agasa Sorry for getting back so late. My minecraft name is Xaien.

[joephlommin]

Ive decided to try to finish up making that second trailer.Is there anything new on the server.

[agasa]

@joepholmmin: Nothing but grey buildings. Nothing worth showing if you don't work on making them pretty, guys.
Xaien: You're an admin.
SuperBuilder would actually be a demotion and the removal of some of your powers.

Study how to use WorldEdit: wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Reference


Do you want to help with the Autofactory? the "real" stuff will be inside a building, but the outside will need plenty frills to make it fit, so you can be helpful even if you don't want to involve yourself in the planning of the mechanics.

Right now, i need a large-ish forest plantation on flat-ish ground, put it far from the court main complex, in the back (near to Rainbowland), where trees are planted at the intersections of an imaginary grid, like this (T=tree,#=nothing):
T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T
#####################
T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T
#####################
T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T
#####################
T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T
#####################
T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T#T
And so forth.

After this, every part ######## (only in one direction, choose one and stick with it) needs to be filled with train track. I've added a kit just for this purpose. Powered tracks need to be spaced evenly in between the normal track every about 40 blocks.

I think you can do it exactly on the Rainbow Land. The dimensions are perfect. Feel free to level it down and transform it in dirt or something.

Can you do it?

I'll be out of the city for a few days for pressing problems i can't avoid. I'm sorry, but to see what came out of this i'll need to wait a few days.
I hope you can make a great work!
Hear from you later!

if ever fancy citizens

Neither of them are me - never met them before just saying the names are in the data servers as paid accounts, so they should have skins.

[agasa]

I adjusted the design of the tree plantation and i'm happy to announce we have the first coal-producing factory in the Court. With some strategical planning, we can get rid of those pesky torches and create real fuel-based illumination for the whole Court! For me, this is a great accomplishment, because it makes everything feel alive, more so than now.
We can even extend the concept and create automated food producing Habitats, like the cherry tree. It'll be a little less idyllic than the cherry tree, but i doubt that a city with god knows how many inhabitants lives on a few cherries.

That, and industries make for a great skyline.

Come visit and help!

[zombie]

The Power station building is basically complete, basically just landscaping now. Just have to decide how to do the machinery.

EDIT No clue how to represent the machinery & if it should be eretheric or conventionally powered. Will have to give that some thought. The structure works either way. The smokestack can be used as a tower for eretheric collectors

Any ideas what I should do next?

Here's what it looks like - inspired by the Bankside Power Station in London, now the Tate Modern.



PS: any ideas how to represent high tension power lines?
PPS:I think there should eventually be a monorail line passing though the hole in the hill near rainbow land.

[agasa]

I'm awed.

Three hooray brains to zombie!

Where did you put this?

As for the machinery, i'm working with minecarts to represent moving stuff. For etheric stuff, you can use Warp-y blocks. You know, the purple stuff that makes portals, glows, and swirls. Or, build some cool looking redstone circuit! Or i can design or download a plugin that makes stuff move, like BukkitPistons or something. I accept ideas!

How does a 3d, block-based version of the Game of Life sound? We'd have to "sacrifice" a block type to make it work, making it... "alive" i guess. It'll get hard to use in buildings from then on, but probably not impossible. You choose which one and i do it. You also get to help me out with the rules, because in 3d, they must be different from the usual. Document yourself here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life

[Georgie L]

mushroom or flower blocks would be best as they are hardly ever used.

But you can't place shrooms or flowers to form 3d structures-they can only be on dirt. We need a proper block for this, i think.

Sand block? We never build anything with sand, right?

Yeah, I think that is true.

Guys, are you picking out all the dynamic/special blocks on purpose? Sand FALLS. It can't be used for what i have in mind, it would cause so many glitches.

I vote for soul sand (or clay blocks). Nobody uses soul sand anyways, and it would work well as "something weird" in the nether.

Besides, if we were to do this with sand, existing sand deposits would do...the weirdest things, if we're lucky they'd just go poof.

...i wrote a program that lets us create complicated buildings, with everything in from the start, in so little time.

What is this program, and is it available to normal (non-super) builders? I was thinking I might have a crack at building (or at least planning) some random classroom/lab/warehouse/whatever type buildings, but if there's a way to make such things more efficiently I'd love to give it a try.

EDIT: also, that charcoal factory is fucking *crazy*. I have no idea what all is going on in there (falling trees! rabid minecarts!) but it kind of blows my mind.

...man, it's been a while since I've been on here. Damn my work to hell and back and some other places too!

[agasa]

You can find the tool here:
www.minecraftforum.net/topic/298876-tool-mcpixelart-03-structure-planning-to-the-next-level/
There are instructions on how to use it on the page.
Please download the latest version.
To actually place your structures in game, you need to have super builder privileges, or just post it here and i'll do it. In any case, the schematic must be uploaded to the server folders, so i think you need to post it here either way.

EDIT: You now have super builder privileges, Shovel/zingbat. Please study the WorldEdit Commands. Submit schematics here to be able to place them on the server.

[zingbat]

Update! The power station has been expanded, and an enormous tree has been added (no, seriously. ENORMOUS. It is huge beyond all rhyme and reason. It is the best tree.)


Power station! (plus agasa for scale)


GINORMOUS TREE


...delicious.
