OcUK Minecraft Server - Rules & Chat

1.4 has been confirmed by the man himself :D

I am up for the move. The current server map is getting a little boring, and if we do reset, I think it will reduce lag.

Also, if we do move to a new map, I would like my house, wheat farm, reed farm and underground lair to be copied :P But more on that if we move ;)

There will have to be some kind of limit on what we can copy per person (I'm not saying that what you've suggested isn't reasonable - but we'll need to examine the areas).

One thing you and everyone else can do to help is to grab a portion of the carto map and draw on it to show us the area/buildings you would want copying..and to give us a rough idea of the dimensions in terms of blocks.

Yeah, I will make a drawing of what I would like to be copied :) Can we also choose where would like it to be copied?
 
This isn't set in stone but the most likely process is:

1) people provide drawing based on carto of area they want copied + dimensions of that area + coords of the edges of the area
2) we work out a rough plan of where we can drop the areas in a new 'blank' world carto (size of world not decided but possibly 10k * 10k blocks)
3) people complain about our choice of placement so we re-jig it a bit or tell people to stop whining
4) we spend time copying the areas across (general access to server removed at this point)
5) we bring the server up and help people get to their new areas via admin teleporting commands. people set a new /home...etc
 
Hi Guys and Gals,

I've only been with you a short while, though thought i'd give my tuppence worth.

As we are being provided a server free of charge, by people that put in a hell of a lot of work in keeping up and running I'll go with whatever you feel is best.

If its possible to save my monster trap (come see it later if you want, and try it out), I'd be really appreciative, as it took a lot of tinkering to get it working right. My home is next to dirtybeatfreak's and the mine/monstertrap is just outside the wall (i'll try to get some co-ord's later)

As to items etc, dont really need to save anything apart from 10 diamonds, 20 iron, 20 coal and i will be sorted.

Lordie, good luck finding where PR and I have moved to because I haven't a sodding clue where it is! All I know is it took me about 2hrs of wandering around outside the main towns before I found a nice empty zone. I did pass Zuumi's wheely structure on the way there though!

Cheers for adding the guys from my server Sylvet. There may be 1-2 more possibly registering soon.

Kainz - the Greenline nether-transit will get a new stop to Zumiis /your place if you're all happy with that.

Zummiis claptrap is fairly close to the chessboard atm - which is currently the last stop! so wont take long for your people to find ya if i set it up tonight :D
 
On further discussion we don't think it's practical to start spawning tons of items for people. As such, you will need to advise us on what you want copying.

There will be some criteria in regards to what we copy. This won't be hideously strict but please keep in the work involved in copying areas is a lot - and as such we only want to copy things that are actually needed.
 
I'd definitely want my tower, arena and the airport moved over and kept in similar positions (and move the airport closer to spawn). There's a lack of density on the map that's unneccessary really, when you look at the area surrounding Old Spawn, people have plenty of space to expand but everything's quite close together:-

organised spawns just force people to **** off to the outskirts really so as not to be hampered by the tiny plots etc.
 
sorry if this is a dumb-ass question or this hasnt been formulated yet, though do you want four [x],[z] coordinates, and two [y] coordinates for underground structures, marking out the area containing the structure in question?

(god its sounds like trying to do some copy pastes will be a bit of a nightmare)

if its too early to say, just ignore this :)
 
That's probably what we'll end up wanting yeah. I don't want to say for certain just yet though :)

And yup, it will be a pain...but the end result should be worth it.
 
Will we have a chance to look around a bit on the new map to decide where we want our building placed or will you be deciding for us? Originally my castle had a nice view, overlooking a large stretch of water and some nice hills, all of which have been destroyed since I started building it (day 1 of this current map), so it would be nice if we could walk around the new map (and having the game set to daylight would be nice, or mobs disabled for the first day or two) and pick out a nice spot for ourselves.
 
It would be nice yeah but I doubt it would be practical to do that as it would add an even longer timescale on to the move, and we would have to deal with players arguing over which 'plots' they want.

i think it would take way too much time to do this for each player and their buildings.

Best to add a small wish list to your building request i would think
something like. Sea View with a beach facing in a south type of thing and if the admins can do that i am sure they will
 
not sure what to do about my house :S i would really like to keep it but its not on the carto (to far away) but i can provide X Y cords etc.... or do you need both?

thanks

Ah cheers! Just need to find Zumii's place now! I do remember that chessboard yep!

Edit: oops, we're miles away from Zuumi's :p

Guys i think you need to understand this is for big big projects/group builds not just every house on the server.

also remember the map will not really be generated much the areas around them will need to be landscaped a lot to make them fit (although this could be good all the big builds fairly close and landscaped together
 
Will items in your characters bag be copied over or only stuff in specified chests?
I wouldn't mind my satellite dish near new spawn being kept but its not that big so i'm not overly fussed.
