@ Trull - Nope, had to sit this one out


@all or CF - I saw a player named something like "adb2aber" - Anybody know this person? I guess the whitelist is in effect so they must be OK

Yeap. I might have forgotten to post that. adb2aber is a new player. Can't remember exactly whose friend it is (Darkwatch maybe?) but he's legit.

The whitelist is in effect and you can only get on it through me at the moment. As before, if we see random damage on the server or missing things from stashes, it's somebody on the whitelist.

adb2aber is Messremb

[cerveza_fiesta]

Oh, right....thanks.

I lose track. I gotta get on and see some of the new stuff. I keep getting distracted by projects.

I added a glass roof to the top of my massive underground excavation under moon spawn. It looks hella cool down there now. I have a huge bunch of dirt kicking around too. I might actually start building the topography for a multiplay PVP arena in there finally. Anybody who wants to help out with that project is welcome to. The roof is essentially finished now and the walls are all how I want them. I just need to start building some low-lying hills in the bottom.

Bonus, there's a lot of slimes that spawn down there, so you can do some goo harvesting at the same time. Just don't fall, it's a full 64 blocks to the bottom.

[HiddenOne]

just got a connection error, kicked from server can't log back in - may try again later


D'rek was there too - wonder if it happened to her

I tested the Nether glitch by going in at my lava tower. The area I appeared in the Nether didn't show any signs of anyone having been there. I went back in the same portal I appeared at and came out in the main world in an underground steel room near a big cobblestone ring on the surface (which itself had another portal in it) just north-east of Arkanaxii's place (and a bit further north-east than my place). Not sure if that's where you guys have been reappearing but it definitely wasn't my portal and was at least 300 blocks from away from where I went in.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Just added D'rek (arella in game) as an op.

She seems to be on at odd times from me and some others, so better op coverage.

Journeying south from my current base I came across a circular hole clearly the beginning of someone's new project. Anyone know who's hole it is?

Additionally, can we get an updated map?

I've got a big square hole I'm currently digging well to the South, as well as the start of a 2000+ block sky trail back to the central region.

Would it make sense for people to use the co-ordinate system to reference where things are? There's an awful lot of South, including where I started building on a mountain top, died and didn't spawn at the bed and couldn't find the location again.

X2300 Z50 is roughly where you'll find me. It's a good day and a half walk/swim out though.

[Morgoth]

You're not that far to the south from my position. A third of a days walk or so. If you decide to build a connection to the skybridge I'd be interested in connecting to it as well.

[cerveza_fiesta]

The circular pit is green pigs IIRC...don't think he ever did much more with it than just dig it.

I forgot how much work skybridge building is. You need a lot of resources. I exhausted most of my sand pit near castle CF and have decided to backfill it with water to create a deep lake. It's also starting to turn into a bit of a moat. Not sure if I'll wrap it all the way around though. That's a lot of work.

How do you turn on coords by the way?

I abused my newfound mod abilities to finish adding rails from me and Arkana to Kanubis' new weird place.

Regarding Nether portals, my going theory is that when you go through a portal it takes you to the closest portal in the other world there is. If there is a cut-off for how far away a portal on the other side can be for it to just create a new one, then the cut-off is really big. So right now there are very few portals in the Nether, and that is why all the Overworld portals seem to go to the same two places or so.

Currently I'd like to validate this theory by gathering information on all the portals we have in use. If the theory is right, then we can use the same information to figure out where in the Nether new portals should be built to make them take you back to certain Overworld portals. So, if you have a portal around your area of work, gather the relevant information and post it here so we can get informatio on them all.

Lastly, for the time being it'd be good if NO NEW PORTALS were built, as that might mess up the findings partway through.

Morgoth, I've run cobbles as far as X1294 Y117 Z21, I've not made a groundfall since I started though. I'm running it straight along the X1294 line till I get closer to an established road where I'll doglet to join up. I've not put in glass or rails yet, task for another week!

From the current road end here's a hillside stripped of trees and with lights on about level X with me, is that yours?

In other news I'm off on holiday shortly so there may be no activity from me for a couple of weeks, either that or I'll be logging in from a Turkish IP address whilst recovering from sunburn.

As an aside with the coordinates, X give your North/South (High = South, low = North) Y the vertical height and Z the East/West (High = West, low = East)

That sounds like Green Pig's pit. Morgoth is another 200 or so blocks north of that. Then it's only another 500 or so further north to the main area

RE: Portals

Currently the multiplayer portals are just bugged. They don't have consistent location bindings, and they frequently spawn new portals when the location cannot be tied to another portal.

There are serious bug fixes necessary to the portals.

What evidence is there to support such wild assertions?

MAPS. They are big...

I'll post some close up shots of some of the projects tomorrow. If you have a project you'd like to see posted, or if your project lies somewhere far out and you'd like to draw attention to it, please fee free to say so (and maybe circle it on the map itself if it's hard to see).

I remember passing all these things, so I'm clearly further south than that.

I think A night time map would be handy

You passed my little mountain top one? I don't suppose you could find it again could you? The obsidian worm is in the perfectly smooth sea cliff North of there and I'm damned if I can remember what the notice by it said, is driving me mad!

Excellent maps, just need to label peoples places now ;-)
