You could be playing Minecraft right now instead of reading this message.

Fosco

Bored ghoul is bored.

Fosco

ghast

/pedant off

sup badp? have you been on my server?

badp

@Fosco I was waiting for Notch to reply to my support request of switching premium status from the account you made for me to the account I had

I guess he doesn't actually read messages on that email address, however.

Fosco

whats the diff?.. i figured you'd just use the new account.

badp

@Fosco I did use it offline

and I should be getting the bronze minecraft badge soonish :D

Fosco

hehe..

alexanderpas

18:17

@Fosco didn't you use the gift option?

Fosco

well my server is in offline mode

@alexanderpas no i didnt realize at the time...

i turned it to offline when minecraft.net was down the other day

badp

In other news, Notch must not be happy at all with Oracle's latest move of switching Java to OpenJDK, I guess?

Fosco

anywayyyy...

minecraft server: fosco.com:1337

17

badp

or did I get the news wrong?

bbl, rebooting to Windows.

Fosco

I don't think he'll care much?..

im so torn over what to spend my free time on... learning XNA to build something like minecraft.. or using my existing programming skills to make something web based and awesome.

Brant

18:21

I've been looking for a programming project myself... I had an idea yesterday

alexanderpas

@Fosco combine the two and make Uplink 2 (MMO)

Brant

which isn't really that good. basically "a better skindex"

alexanderpas

The Bridge

General Arqade Chat. We tried to leave once, but the door lock...

Fosco

hehe

I had a good project idea, but it's too big... actually have some people working on it (on codeplex) and am just sitting back and supervising, but I'm not too interested in coding on it.

having a girlfriend of 2 years, and a house, really eats up all of ones time and motivation.

badp

@alexanderpas Oooh, I like the exponential-looking-like part of that activity graph

Looks like you can scuba dive in SMP

alexanderpas

18:33

@badp funny thinking over there :D

Fosco

did ya hear that Notch is so pissed at people saying 'Fix SMP' that whenever he hears it he's going to spend 4 hours working on something else instead?

badp

Fix?

Obviously, scuba diving is a feature, not a bug.

alexanderpas

@badp difference?

badp

That's why Notch added underwater lighting obviously!!

@alexanderpas It's awesome, so it's a feature..

See: strafe jumping.

alexanderpas

@badp See: bunny hopping

Fosco

18:36

see: rocket jumping

SMP really is meh without actual damage, mobs, etc..

unless you're building things, what's the point?...

alexanderpas

@Fosco meh

badp

It's what you make of it.

Right now I'm putting off a fire.

Fosco

did you set it first? :)

badp

Nope, somebody who had fun with buckets did however :)

alexanderpas

@badp where are you playing?

FallenAngelEyes

18:40

Really looking forward to the skin support

badp

22 mins ago, by Fosco

minecraft server: fdotm.com:1337

Fosco

are you removing the big lava flow on the mountain across from the spawn area?

badp

(mind the fall)

@Fosco Collecting tree blocks from what remains of the trees.

Fosco

oh ok, someone else must've been on there today

i posted it on the minecraftforums

probably was a bad idea

nothing important there to lose, i can always restart it

badp

and lose all that gold?

Fosco

18:43

it wasn't mined...

came from /give.. my boss did that actually

has anyone decompiled minecraft.jar and done anything with it?

alexanderpas

@Fosco yes, check out hMod (a.k.a. hey0 Mod) and llamacraft.

Fosco

well i meant you guys, not in general :)

FallenAngelEyes

hey0 mod is great

alexanderpas

need to checkup with my own SMP server, if borderlands doesn't bug out, it's ready to rumble.

Fosco

19:12

logged in and read the console.. needs a new map eh?

alexanderpas

It's lava flooded.

Fosco

ok, i'll reset it

alexanderpas

Just don't delete the players files.

Fosco

done

i restored just a few player dat files

maybe that was a bad idea? i see exceptions

user30

Yes, it looks like I'm wallhacking now.

Fosco

19:17

ok hold on...

alexanderpas

it's generating the new map.

Fosco

should i stop it, delete your dat files, and restart?

i can give you guys OP afterwards

alexanderpas

just jet it roll.

user30

gief tnt please. ;)

Fosco

you need to know the item id for tnt

from the wiki page

user30

19:20

Yeah, I dont really need it

Fosco

then /give lamb021 itemid quantity

user30

Were the player labels on a server we frequented a while back custom then?

alexanderpas

aka. install llamacraft and hMod

Fosco

bleh..

i haven't looked too much into that.. got a link that makes it easy?

alexanderpas

@Fosco I can give you a replacement minecraft.jar if you want one.

badp

19:22

Please add stars to the message with Fosco's server address.

I hoped Minecraft would save the latest address, but it doesn't.

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, I really hope Notch implements server favoriting and such soon

badp

yay, I still have my loyal CACTUS

Fosco

@alexanderpas ok.. not sure I trust that mustache though... ;)

user30

The player labels were particularly awesome because I have no idea where anyone is.

alexanderpas

@Fosco I'll prepare it for you.

Fosco

19:25

@alexanderpas Thanks!

alexanderpas

19:44

@Fosco download: dl.dropbox.com/u/1124205/… (temporary download location, just for you ;)) - documentation: forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=145 (read up on groups, users and the /modify command etc. - ignore the broken links, they just migrated forum software.)

Fosco

@alexanderpas got a 404

alexanderpas

@Fosco try this one: dl.dropbox.com/u/1124205/…

Fosco

got it

will reset server after my 3pm mtg

badp

20:05

Later.

user30

What's everyone's opinion on me using /give instead of mining for stuff? If it's going to really annoy you I'll do the hard work, it's just I find it a bit boring.

alexanderpas

/give for unobtainium. perfect; /give for coal. :(

@ThomasMcDonald Just don't go crazy building towers out of bedrock/obsidian.

Fosco

hmm i need jdbc drivers

alexanderpas

@Fosco mysql is optional ;)

Fosco

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost

user30

20:12

Well, I might do some work, could someone ping me when the server is up again?

Fosco

sure

alexanderpas

@Fosco you have the mysql-connector-java-bin.jar next to the minecraft_server.jar?

Fosco

yep

ah, ownership could be an issue... sec

alexanderpas

lemme guess, linux?

Fosco

yeah

ownership didn't fix it.

alexanderpas

20:17

data-source=flatfile in server.properties?

Fosco

i'll go with that for now

i wanted to use mysql though.

ok it's up.. no plugins though.. should i get some?

@ThomasMcDonald it's back.

user30

Yeah, I'm on now.

user30

@badp Get on again, it's an interesting spawn

Fosco

i can't get to hey0.net from work, so i can't really customize it much right now.

alexanderpas

BTW: buckets should work, tnt is nerfed, lava is nerfed a bit.

@Fosco I would suggest GriefAlert to begin with.

Fosco

20:26

@alexanderpas ok, will look at that stuff tonight, time permitting.

JavadocMD

20:38

Maybe someday people will see that "move lava to trough, turn to obsidian, mine obisdian, place obsidian" is two more steps than necessary.

alexanderpas

@JavadocMD lava casting FTW!

JavadocMD

@alexanderpas Go tell Raven Dreamer and Strix that. :)

badp

obsidian = (lava) water; //?

JavadocMD

@badp Are you asking? Yes, if you pour water over still lava, the lava turns to obsidian.

Brant

syntax error!

badp

20:41

I was just doing a bad pun on "casting"

JavadocMD

Oh, ha, got it.

Fosco

!sense = crying / spiltmilk

Brant

var obsidian = (Obsidian)(new Water() + new Lava());

Fosco

ok i'm logged out of console... should be on in about 75 minutes.

alexanderpas

@Fosco you didn't have access to hey0 forums at work, didn't you? have a documentation mirror: dl.dropbox.com/u/1124205/hMod_documentation.html

Fosco

21:03

@alexanderpas Thanks

badp

Minecraft crashed on me.

Repro? @alexanderpas @ThomasMcDonald

user30

Nope

badp

Rejoining, then.

alexanderpas

@badp render distance? far is crash sensitive on SMP

badp

@alexanderpas Must be it.

sjohnston

21:22

you also get that lovely grid-of-squares-floating-in-the-distance effect on Far...

sigh. People shouldn't be allowed to mention that they're playing Minecraft when I still have two more hours of work left.
