How did Fosco generate that GoogleMap of his Minecraft map? That is AMAZING.

VxJasonxV

AWESOME! Thank you!

ZoogieZork

There's actually even more cool stuff in some of the forks (biome tinting, direct location linking, etc.)

I've been playing around with adding some features: lugatgt.org/content/minecraft

It's pretty easy to work with and make changes

If you know Javascript that is :)

VxJasonxV

you know, minecraft bores me to tears. But all this other stuff about it is insanely cool.

ZoogieZork

I really didn't get the point of Minecraft for many moons until I joined a private server with my RL buddies

VxJasonxV

01:45

That's all I've done

I didn't understand Single Player at all, then I learned I had to wait for nightfall

and mine to save myself and whatnot

Fosco

thats the part i like..

I think the world should reset if you die

VxJasonxV

I like seeing what people make with all this. And I assist in non-game-related ways.

I'm not nearly creative enough for this madness.

ZoogieZork

I mainly make big, somewhat-boring architectural stuff like a giant snaking aqueduct

VxJasonxV

heh

ZoogieZork

Or a giant bridge to nowhere in particular

Then a couple of my buddies added a rail line to the bridge, a cart switching station, a big underground circuit lab

VxJasonxV

01:49

Do you live in Alaska?

ZoogieZork

etc

Hah

I was working really long hours so I just started building the bridge to blow off steam

Didn't care where it went :)

It completely pales in comparison to the terrifyingly huge bridge on Fosco's server :)

VxJasonxV

I'll take your word for it

I might check it out sometime

Fosco

@ZoogieZork did you build that spiral water duct system on our server by spawn?

ZoogieZork

Nope

Fosco

oh ok, nm

ZoogieZork

01:57

My major contribution to this server has been falling from high places and leaving little stacks of blocks scattered throughout the land ;)

VxJasonxV

enable-health=false !

Fosco

haha, that's fine too.

the server is now running an unofficial hey0 mod.

Fosco

04:46

now running official 129 hey0.

and enable-health=false

StrixVaria

05:34

@Fosco That was built by sjohnston iirc.

badp

08:36

Disco now can be switched on and off. A light right outside the disco gives the status away.

Although people should notice by the jukeboxes.

Bug update #4, and we’re six people in the office now!

Client version 1.2.5
Server version 0.2.7 (not mandatory, but you might want to update anyway)

* Fixed a rather bad memory leak bug in the server (entity position updates accumulated in orphaned player objects)
* Riding carts and boats now works properly when you travel long distances.
* Harvesting crops no longer yields fake seeds
* Removed /home (sorry!)
* Snowballs again!

I will start looking at server-side inventory soon in an attempt to reach beta soon.

Fosco

again!

user30

urm

Fosco

it's up.. hey0 129 seems to still work

user30

yup

Fosco

15:37

cool.

user30

Foot and a half of snow here today, and more set to come tomorrow, so I guess this mine will get finished today

Fosco

holy shit.. that's a lot of snow!

user30

Well, maybe not a foot and a half everywhere, but where it's drifted up against objects it is.

user30

It's the first time I've walked through snow that's higher than my knees

user30

Having some issues here with blocks not being picked up

Fosco

15:39

yeah I've had that, it's no fun. I hate shoveling.

@ThomasMcDonald hmm.. let me know if you want to try vanilla.

I wish Minecraft was open source =( and not Java.

or at least had an API and mod support/documentation.

user30

I've just emptied out my inv. because I thought I had run out of room but it's odd

user30

Oooh yeah, minecarts aren't fixed

user30

I mean, it freezes you in one place, when you get out you end up in the right place but it also makes a ton of duplicates on your journey

Fosco

agh

let's try vanilla

badp

I prefer chocolate

but minecarts aren't hey0-related right?

Fosco

15:50

it's up now, neopolitan.

user30

16:54

Hmm, the duplication appears to have disappeared, but movement is really erratic, like before

Fosco

bah.. that blows.

badp

Not something you can fix, Fosco :)

Fosco

That's what aggravates me... I don't even play, lol.

badp

Meh, had I said "It's open source, go fix it" would have it been better? ;)

Fosco

1 hour ago, by Fosco

I wish Minecraft was open source =( and not Java.

Fosco

17:12

I also wish it were easier to build 3D FPS games. Joining an XNA Workshop but it doesn't start till January.

badp

3D anything ain't simple.

Ronan Forman

17:28

Why do i always find massive caves?

Fosco

There are lots of them, I think.

Ronan Forman

so big one room takes 40 torches to light

damn another

badp

> Removed /home (sorry!)

:/

Fosco

does hey0 offer that? i could put hey0 129 back on

badp

I think so...

Fosco

17:40

hey0 is running again then.

badp

Thanks :)

You know what

We'll want to be able to freeze Minecraft to a certain server and client version

We should look into that.

Fosco

well server is easy, we just dont update it

user30

Notch said he was looking into making the client updates optional

Fosco

if we were to use older clients, the server would need to be in offline mode and people would have to disable internet when launching minecraft, then re-enable after it fails to connect to minecraft.net

Macha

20:10

Updates will prompt soon-ish (could've sworn Notch said it would in 1.2.4).

Fosco

We're at 1.2.5 and it's still automatic.

Macha

I know

Fosco

If there's anything I can do to make the server better, plug-ins you'd like to see, etc.. just let me know.

badp

@Macha You corward! You can disconnect but you can't hide!!

Macha

Huh?

Whatever plugin Reddit has that has setwp would be nice (Per user warps).

I tried to log on there to see if it said it anywhere, but they haven't updated their server yet.

badp

20:20

@Macha you mean /tp player?

Macha

No

PlayerA can use /setwp mybase

PlayerB can then do: /gotowp PlayerA mybase

Or PlayerA can do /gotowp mybase

(Think gotowp has a different name though, might be jumpwp)

ZoogieZork

Oooh, yeah, per-player warps would be awesome

It's really useful when building really tall, multi-level structures

badp

Well, fdotm currently would have warp support

just there are no hey0 ops to add them

Macha

This is different. They don't show up in /listwarps, and normal players can set them

Here it is: forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=251

Fosco

20:40

I've got it downloaded and am ready to enable it.

server restarted, waypointplugin enabled.

Macha

Thanks

Fosco

any interest in Cuboid Plugin? forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=34

badp

Doesn't it defeat the point? :)

Macha

Yeah, but (a) It seems to be suggested for admins only, and (b) It's broken with latest hey0

Fosco

i was just asking :)... there is a new version out today for 129.

badp

20:53

I guess it's useful to destroy excessive constructions in obsidian, though :)

Fosco

lol

my nephew mentioned at thanksgiving dinner that he accidentally wound up in the Wiki area, and then someone took over his basement or something

Macha

lol

badp

@Fosco oh, so it's him who TNT'ed the hold!

and destroyed half of it.

Fosco

yep, accidentally broke through..

badp

Yeah.

Fosco

20:55

i guess it was under something of his?

badp

Yep.

I and @ThomasMcDonald took the opportunity to work on floor D though, then expand floor C.

Fosco

hehe

he made that mario graphic by the spaceship, and was working on a much bigger one of zelda

badp

@Fosco Yep, I saw those and commented it was awesome.

He's got a large cave to work with.

Fosco

cool

This plugin looks promising! forum.hey0.net/showthread.php?tid=991

I would just have to set up the mysql support which gave me a bit of trouble in the beginning due to the java drivers.

ZoogieZork

Holy crap

Macha

20:59

Skyscraper outside done :) Just need to decide what to put in it now :P

Tim Stone

@Fosco Wow, that's pretty awesome

ZoogieZork

I hope Notch catches on that Minecraft is slowly morphing into a not just a game, but an MMO platform

Brant

Eh, I don't think decompiling the obfuscated binaries and hacking in features really counts as movement towards a platform.

Fosco

I do... If that's what people want and build towards, he can take it that way.

Macha

Tbh, that's more a per-server thing. Although he does have plans for a server API and server linking.

I certainly don't want to have to do quests of the "kill 50 skeletons" kind before building stuff

Brant

21:05

@Fosco good point.

ZoogieZork

Officially not a platform, sure. Yet. I'm just saying that there's an opportunity here -- developers are demonstrably willing and able to deal with the obfuscation in order to develop their ideas with no official support.

Lots of projects, OSS and commercial, try really, really hard to build a development community

Macha

Cool! Someone dug out a sizeable portion of that place I was excavating :)

Fosco

@Macha where at?..

Macha

Near the spawn

badp's minecraft track bridges over the entrance

Fosco

oh ok

Macha

21:13

Errr....

ZoogieZork

Oh my

Macha

And

Something odd is happening - It was happening with badp a few moments ago too

Everytime he moves, he is being duplicated instead

Fosco

I've seen pics of that on reddit..

ZoogieZork

Both funny and terrifying. Terrifunning.

Fosco

funnifying

taking off from work.. catch you all later.

(i just typed exit)

Macha

21:17

Bye

alexanderpas

ZoogieZork

Do the instances disappear if you reconnect?

Macha

Yes, and warping kills them too

Are all my dups gone?

Sent to /r/minecraft

Anyway, I'm off. Bye!

user30

22:01

It looks like it did when I went in a minecart straight after the update, it made a load of dups

user30

22:18

nerd.nu/marmap/map

user30

Reddit map, so awesome

badp

Fully creative mode, right?

lol -- no

It's actually alpha.

I hope that humongous wall wasn't done manually...

ZoogieZork

22:32

OMG the lag when scrolling that map is irritating beyond comprehension

But that's just me :)

Actually, looking at that map, I think it's really cool to think about how that was all virgin terrain at one point

and grew into a whole city with roads, parks, big-honkin' wall

Or maybe that's just my interest in civil engineering :)

user30

It was part of their Minecraft marathon for child play

user30

I think they raised $3.5k for Childs Play and played MC for most of the day
