Yes, thats snow - is this normal? I havent seen any one else with snow....

[D'rek]

it's normal - some maps have it some don't. I don't like it, especially for starting out because you keep having to dig through it, plus the falling snow eats up processor power and lags the game for me.

exploring the cave at the bottom of my mountain produced two entire stacks of iron. Be careful though, sometimes the oven thing will glitch and eat everything in it.

OK,

A few things:

i) I am not currently prepared to host the server and run my home PC 24/7. At this stage I am prepared to run it pretty much when I am available to play and admin the server which means weekends. At those times I will leave it on overnight for those not close to GMT. Be nice if the server isn't up when you want it to be. I'll try and post when I will be hosting 24 hours in advance. If enough of you wanted, say, a Wednesday overnight run then I would be happy with that.

ii) Remember this is still Alpha. Be prepared to find suddenly that all your hard work is gone. I will be scheduling backups as soon as I can get the server tools to work (i.e. sometime tomorrow).

iii) If anyone else can offer a more permanent solution I think I may be able to help with the setting up and port forwarding etc.

Gameplay:

i) This is still in alpha so I wouldn't worry too much about building anything TOO amazing for the time being. I would say common courtesy would mean that you shouldn't build too close to someone else or trash their constructions. As this is a Malazan server I would say that giant spooge-spewing manhood monuments would be out of place, especially given the open nature of the age range of the potential players.

ii) One warning. Repeat again and a ban (timed or otherwise). For anything deemed inappropriate. If in doubt - ask an admin first

iii) The IP may change - I will post it when run the server.

In-Game:

i) First - take a compass from a chest inside Slippery Jim's Sanctuary for Wayward Malazans. Anything in the chest(s) is fair game and can be taken but try and think of others also.

ii) If an admin is on we can teleport you to us (or us to you) and give you any item in the game. As the vote was to not have infinite resources do not ask us to do this unless something bad has happened like you fell through the map and lost all your stuff.

iii) Don't build too near another players place and don't nick their stuff! Once exception - Slippery Jim's Sanctuary for Wayward Malazans (as above)

iv) You do not take damage. You are unable to harvest near the spawn point so don't worry if you can't (D'rek suggest we mark the area with a wall - good idea - it's on my list). Monsters do not spawn. If this changes I'll let you know

v) Current admins: SlipperyJim.


**********

I hope this doesn't come across as unreasonable - it's just that I want us all to have fun and I think it's best that these things are thrashed out up front. I am totally prepared to discuss any of the above and any other issues you can think of.

Jim

What, not even just one?!

[Slippery Jim]

The server is down - I am trying to add some useful tools. Wish me luck!

[Slippery Jim]

Server is up.

I will leave it on overnight - if it crashes then I'll be asleep.

Have fun - play nice!

Can't log in - says

Connection Lost
User not premium

Is that my fault?


or do I have to be added first?

[Slippery Jim]

User not premium? Have you bought it?

A colossal column of cascading cock with a fountain that floods fallopian fertiliser fluid is funny - I agree - but I think just not appropriate for the server I want to run.

I mean no harm when i say that if you want that on a server run one/find one

Jim

[Bent]

yes, I bought it. maybe it takes time to get into the system, I just bought it a couple of hours ago. I'll try again later.

[Slippery Jim]

Hmmm - check your version of Java and then your graphic and sound drivers

So here you can see the base of my wall:

Wall.jpg

Does that look acceptable? The two towers next to each other on the lake's far shore will be where the road to my summer house passes through.

That looks really cool actually. The only thing I would worry about is what if you want to build more stuff within the wall?

I will amend my vote to NO if they can't be killed. Won't that be fixed in the Survival version? I keep forgetting we're not there yet.

The Halloween update is going to be upgrading MP hopefully.

Nothing you mentioned sounds unreasonable.

It's a shame we don't have a server that runs all week 24/7 but this is better than nothing. Just out of curiosity though, is it because of the electricty/Internet bill you're only running it on weekends, or?

[Kanubis]

I do appreciate that a gargantuan erupting phallus might not be to everyone's tastes

Luckily another forum I post on, that just happens to be void of any form of human deceny or respect, is also running a server, so hows about I make my mountainous spewing trouser snake there and take a screenshot for you all, and stick to awesome fortresses and stuff on Jim's server?

[D'rek]

Fun thing about multiplayer servers is that they don't always load stuff as fast as your client can move you, leading to the occasional unloaded terrain block, which in turn gives you a very cool scene of the cave systems below:

if it's just the electricity bill you worry about I'm sure we can chip in some aid.

[Aptorian]

Exactly what I was thinking.

We're what? 10 active Minecraft players on this forum maybe. Maybe more. If we each threw 5-10 dollars at it a month I wouldn't mind.

But of course maybe Jim is using the computer for something else in the weekdays.

[Slippery Jim]

Server is up. 217.137.144.226:25565

Jim

p.s. Thinking about the timing thing...

[MTS]

Hey guys, thinking about building a tower at my spawn point, so I spawn inside a warm and cozy tower. Plus it gives me an extra place to stash valuables and act as a base, since my mountain complex is a decent walk away and I think I see an underwater cave system that I missed when first scouting. How do you recommend I go about building it, cos I've tried to build one, and it just looks crappy.
