Rown Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thought I got creative for joining the server? Guess it must be given by an admin. And yay 860! Hopefully there's some good hills for a return of the dwarf kingdom. Always wanted to see that expanded upon. I hope something's left of the old map. Continually having to rebuild is eating away at part of me. Rown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ubermacht Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 So Liberty City's been lost? That's a damn shame, I hope we get it back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Just watch this space Unfortunately it will have to happen some time as most big updates change generation code, and if there's new blocks they won't appear in old areas. Anyway, for now, I'll be on most of this evening if anyone wants creative on this temp map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyn Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 So Liberty City's been lost? That's a damn shame, I hope we get it back... Liberty City was pasted into the newest map. A few of us still have the original saved I think. SRS Incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rown Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Some t...probro was on. He seemed to behave himself but started out asking for a mode change to show off his building skills. That's all the news I have to report tonight. @fireguy: The museum/zoo needs to be a thing when the map comes. Maybe even get some mini-biomes going as part of it.

Andrew Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The server was down this morning as I downgraded bukkit to enable the logging plugin to work again. I'm looking at putting an economy plugin on, I know we had one for the second map which failed. But I'm thinking this time if we have it from the start and try ingrain it into the server. What are peoples thoughts on this? I had an idea that certain extra protections, or benefits could be rented? I want to try and bring the server alive and busy, so if anyone has any ideas, lets hear them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think the best way to make a server feel alive is to have everyone build right next to the spawn. That way there's constantly people around you. You know, like actually having neighbours. I mean what's the point of playing on a server if you're gonna travel a thousand blocks and build alone. You got SSP for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireguy109 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think it would be pretty cool to have some sort of economy. I was surprised playing solo survival how much fun it could be to have a "job", it almost makes it like an RPG trading with villagers. It's a shame that we'll probably have to start from scratch though, but maybe that's for the best... instead of just scattered ghost towns we can build a new, unified spawn like 860 said. Just for the sake of all the work that was done on it though, like Rodney's almost-finished hotel, I still hope we get the old server back...

Ubermacht Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The most recent world went through a good period of activity at spawn, but then it all just fizzled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rown Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 (edited) Spawn hut first floor got its door removed and windows smashed. Some guy named "dogisamans123" was on. Don't know if they're responsible though. Friendly mobs have been released from the museum. Large hole by the well. Not sure if dug or some serious creeper damage. That I'll fill. EDIT: dogisamans123 and his brother... some b-named person (they both have bank chests) were on most of the night. After some early troubles with griefing at the museum (broken glass->flood) they haven't done too much. Though I've been feeding them mats. They built a pvp arena and a small house on the spawn side of the river. They don't talk much... or very well. I built a bank attached to spawn hut and put up a wall around the spawn area, it's got an opening but if need be 2 bedrock should close it off. And that's my report and junk.

Andrew Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 You reckon Jobs might be a good idea on the server? I know what you're saying about people building too far out, but that's the choice they make. I'm hoping that by keeping the server open access that we can attract more people. I'll update the Core plugin today, and bring back the name feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I think it might be a fun project to make one spawn base for everyone to share. We should totally go communist. One big building with room for everyone. Obviously if you don't feel like it you don't have to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of like the Community Cave in Map 3, but more organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
860 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yup. Shared farms and stuff. People can store their personal items in their rooms and all the items they don't need (like resources they've gathered for the community, waste cobble etc) could be stored in a community storage room. If someone's good at tree farming, they can tree farm. If someone's good at making efficient strip mines they can do that. Pick a job/speciality.

Otter Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So what's the story - is this a map we're committing to, or is there going to be a restart soon? Thanks thanks thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yeah, I much prefer when we have a little community town/city and all live in that area around spawn. Unfortunately I think the days of old when we did that with the first couple of maps are gone though. Most players we have now prefer to build far out or in remote places. We were doing pretty well with activity on the last map, I think the lack of update killed it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyn Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yea I think it was the lack of update that killed the last map. As far as jobs go, I think it sounds pretty interesting. I'd be up for giving it a go. SRS Incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireguy109 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I like the looks of that job plugin. I'd be a decent fisherman, that's what I do in SSP anyways. Like Otter said though, what about the map itself? What's the plan there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 In terms of the map, I'm trying to get the files back from the old server. In the hopes that parts of it can be extracted. A lot of the plugins require testing, as 860 and those who were on last night will know, I've enabled world guard which will allow me to create areas that are completely protected. I'd like to make the economy integrated into the server. My idea behind this is the Jobs, Shops and even renting extra stuff such as chest or property protection. Previously aside from buying items, economy never really had much of a use, but if we can make it so it can actually be used, then it should be alright.

fireguy109 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The new enchantment books are pretty neat. I used them to craft some pretty sweet gear, so now that gear is scattered around the map by the town. There's armor, a fishing reel, shears, an axe, a sword and a shovel all hidden, waiting to be found. Keep an eye out for Nether Brick or Nether Fence, they guide the way. Some of the dungeons I built are pretty big, but the entrances are all fairly obvious. If you find any, feel free to take it if you want it.

rhyn Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Fireworks are pretty sweet, utterly pointless addition but fun nonetheless. Whoever is making the giant crafting encyclopaedia you are a crazy person but you have my respect SRS Incorporated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I was messing around with fireworks earlier tonight and found out you can put them in dispensers and launch them. Theoretically, you could make a fireworks show with timings and everything out of redstone and set it off all with the press of a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rown Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I can't seem to connect to the minecraft server right now so I played offline and through quick experimentation discovered that the Christmas textures for chests are date sensitive. Reverting my date back a couple months returned the chests to normal and I'd imagine after the holidays are done the date could be changed to Christmas to get them back. Has there been progress on data retrieval or any idea of the next permanent maps start-up? Rown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
