@MTS

I have sent you the IP address for the multiplayer server hosted by cerveza fiesta

If you wish, come check out the massive works by everyone and stake your claim.

You're on your own for materials, unless someone offers you some stuff. Find a place to claim, everyone's places should be defined, very congested around spawn point - just move out away from the rest and have at it. The sky bridge goes near most places, and a lot has been mined out. There is free stuff in the building at the spawn point, should be chests w/ supplies.

[cerveza_fiesta]

hi guys.

Sorry I've not been on to stock up the spawn. I'm on a vaca right now, but should acutally have some spare time on monday and Tuesday to fill up the chests.

If you're on, feel free to take some stuff from the castle attached by an aqueduct to Moon Spawn. There's lots of iron ore and some diamonds up there for making tools. Ain't take all of it, but go ahead and make some tools if you need em.


Oh yes, server updated today, march 12.

Also, no takers on generating the map? I have no time at the moment but have placed a recent backup on an FTP server for anybody to download. You need only PM me for the IP and pword to download the file.

[Traveller]

Damn, just had a fire.

Just happened to notice that the building next to the one I was constructing had floors missing... went round and managed to get it under control, but it was close.

I really don't know how it started though. Can torches light timber if they are up underneath it? My whole dock is pretty much all timber; if it had spread I'd have lost the lot.

The buildings that caught looked eerily like real gutted buildings without the timber frames.

[Sammehmander Rake]

Alright! I'm logging in now, with some free time to go and find my own slice of Genabackis to build my beautiful empire. is it possible to adjust our own spawn points? so that we can stay near our own creations? I know I can do it in single player mode. but not sure about multi-player.

Oh and @Traveller, Maybe A zombie or something was bouncing next to your wooden wall and then the sun came up and made the zombie ignite. thus starting a fire.. that's just my theory.

[Traveller]

Ah. That might have been it, I do have a zombie infestation at the moment. I have a platform I climb on to shoot them from while I'm building. I do have a lava block in a fireplace, covered in glass, but lava is weird.. it can light wooden blocks from several squares away, but usually after a few minutes have passed. Who knows.

Don't think we can alter the spawn (yet) ask CF.

Also, make sure you find somewhere with a lot of room. I've started spreading out from my original base; it's much better to have plenty of room to expand from the start without encroaching on anyone else.

Couple of dockside pics.

It's still kind of expanding. At the moment, there are some Inns, a warehouse, beacon/lighthouse, stores and houses.

There will be some ships at some point, too.

thats awesome. I was wondering who built the dockside housing project.

cools.

[Trull's son]

Damn I need to get around to finding some MC time. I'll try and get on later tonight to check out the new stuff.

[Aptorian]

Holy shit that is amazing Traveller!

Oh no... now I have the craving for MC again. Must resists!

[Jade-Green Pig-Hog Swine-Beast]

Errr...lads...

I just caused a creeper to blow the corner off of the spawn point fort. I would have repaired it but every time I placed a block, it just disappeared again. Just letting you know.

must not resists! Embrace the minecraft apt! Let it fill your soul as it once did!

Something I noticed yesterday - looks like time only passes when there's someone on the server. So if you're the only one online and you set some furnaces to smelt, then log-off, they won't keep smelting unless someone else logs on. I was under the impression that it used to be perpetual, but I could be wrong.

[Sammehmander Rake]

I'm really eager to get on the server and build, but each time I try it gets really buggy, ie. Huge chasms of landmass not loading. Or not being able to attack mobs. The attack animation plays but they take no damage.. Only I do or being in the clear then suddenly a horde of zombies are right on me.. Ohwell maybe it's just my connection to the server. If I click on a work bench it can take up to 30 seconds before it activates.

[Trull's son]

That's weird. I'm not experience much lag or missing chunks of the universe (anymore), but i get disconnected every couple minutes.

Hmm well I live in Australia and as every one knows we have next to zero Internet efficiency. That plus my distance from the server.

[D'rek]

I've found it a bit laggier than the old one, but then again my roomates torrent like mad. I haven't found it too unworkable so far, but every now and then it glitches me into placing 3 glass blocks at once or falling of a ledge.

[Sammehmander Rake]

Also there are zombies on tue sky bridge to Y'ghatan they were far far away an then suddenly all my health was gone xD do we have a fly key? Or only the mods have flight ability??

I don't think anyone can fly, unless CF has installed a special mod/plug-in thingy. Mobs on the skybridge = put more torches on skybridge.

I stand corrected. It seems I had fallen for that old miss-conception that OPs had the ability to fly. seems its not possible without hacks. No bother. guess I'll just have to be zombie safe! Diamond Armour here I come.
