Minecraft OCuK Forum Members Server Thread

I'm not really sure how to respond to this.

Firstly, I admit that I have used the dupe bug, or had other players use it on my behalf on multiple occasions. I find it convenient because for me, the thrill is in crafting stuff and creating things rather than spending a lot of time mining for materials. Lazy? Maybe, but I find mining for specific blocks a chore (seriously, I very rarely find iron/gold/diamond).

Same here. The fun of the game for me is the building, whereas mining is absolutely boring as hell, plus all of the decent stuff is rare to find.

Also, you got lucky with the Titanic, as you had the huge hole done easily for you. If we truly wanted a 'play as you are supposed to play' server, then you'd have a lot of digging to do. :p
 
Minecraft Beta
I just updated the client and the server to Minecraft Beta 1.0

* Working server-side inventory! Finally! (And as a result of that, a whole pile of bugs and issues got fixed)
* Made SMP servers save chunks way less often in most cases. Chunks don’t resave if they got saved in the last 30 seconds
* Moving too far away from a container, or having it blow up, closes the inventory screen
* Fixed /kill
* Introduced leaf decay again. It acts differently from before
* You can now throw eggs
* On a whim, added super exclusive clan cloaks for Mojang Employees
* .. and something else, which is even more rare

True. If we did a world reset and duping was removed, I'd probably pursue a much smaller project. Even with 3 or 4 of us working on it for a few hours, it took a long time to build up...

I'm also wondering how involved garsands would be after beta. If not for the dupe bug and the fact that it was in alpha, I'm sure lots of other people would be asking garsands for favours in terms of removing land, giving placeable lava/water sources etc - I don't know whether this would continue or not. I appreciate that there are some things he can do to make it much easier for the rest of us but we'd need some ground rules.

Looks like all for the world restart for Beta except jmiller :p

I'll just point out Jmiller that notch has said previously that some updates may well wreck world saves to a point where even server backups can't restore them. It's a reasonable assumption that a large update like the shift from Alpha to Beta may well cause this. My personal feeling is that a world restart from the start of beta would be a good thing and keep it running right up to the official launch of the game.

Also a world restart will get the server up and running now that beta patch is out, hmod etc wouldn't be on it but that won't matter if it's a new world so lava fires etc won't matter and nobody will be able to get TNT that quickly

I am aware of this. A reset because one is needed is fine. i've never said otherwise.


on a different note, Radyr, 'bit annoyed that you deleted the track switcher outside the fort, apparently moaning that its your track and you dont want people messing aroudn with it, when it was us who maintained your track. It was me, max and sam who build that switcher (the prototype) and it was me who got the building of the trainstation underway, which you saw fit to alter as well - what was the point of placing that track through the station for you to now block off one end of it and have the track only going to your mine?

Not happy tbh, that switcher took a couple of hours to get right.

As I said earlier on the server, I didn't mind when the original 'Server 1' ended cos the updates really made a mess of it!
Then as I got enraged with Creepers constantly blowing my stuff up I changed my mind and wouldn't mind a server reset. :p
So now I can't say that I'm bothered if it does get reset, whatever is best for the server/community. :)

Yeah I was going to ask what happened to all that. Quite annoying as a fair bit of work went into that. The idea is that it's a community build. If one individual wants to keep total control over a project, I suggest they go and mark off a big piece of land (There's plenty of it) and build your own <whatever>. :)

Ah well can't get back on now anyway... Outdated client...

The funny thing is , like max mentioned to me earlier - we couldnt finish the tracks it as we'd run out of gold for the boosters. while all this duping talk is going on, i suddenly find a **** load of gold in the chest at the station and gold boosters everywhere, next to a sign that Radyr placed.
 
This is such a hard call for me to make....
There are stonge pros & cons for both.

Re the.... I'm also wondering how involved garsands would be after beta...

I would set myself rules ones I know of will be

1. No more changing night to day.
2. No more helping to clear land with commands.
3. No more /protecting players work.
4. No admins I have been alone for the last month as it is.
5. No more giving players items for free, unless they got lost due to a crash or bug or my fault.
6. I will move players work if needed undamaged.
7. bbhere use for players would say.
8. limit the size of the world.

are the ones I can think off at the moment

Things I need to do are...

1. Link both forum & player names on the 2nd post of this thread & remove any that have removed there name from the whitelist.
2. Setup the server shop, I did ask if anyone wanted to take this on at the time but had no takers.
3. Make each player a vault out of bedrock a 20 x 20 size room with no windows or doors you have to /warp to it using your player name. The room is /protected & also only you can enter it no one but you can /tp or /warp into it. The room is empty when you get it & its up to you how you use it, its 100% safe.
Nothing can distory bedrock so you can't even damage your own room, no doors or windows means no one can drop lava in to your room.

sounds good to me (some bits would be very welcome additions!), perhaps it really is time for a vote.

i'm more than happy to help with the shop, bank and other things garsands, just let me know :)

It was my track, I built and cleared the entire route and if you've travelled the line it's a long way. At no point did anyone ask me if it could be messed about with

It was me, max and sam who build that switcher (the prototype) and it was me who got the building of the trainstation underway, which you saw fit to alter as well -

Actually it was both of us who started the train station, or have you forgotten? After removing the track switcher which I couldn't get to work I fixed the line so that Minecart mania worked properly with an automatic cart dispenser, launcher and booster

what was the point of placing that track through the station for you to now block off one end of it and have the track only going to your mine?

Merely reinstating it to the way it was and sorting out a proper dispensing, launching system

Not happy tbh, that switcher took a couple of hours to get right.

In which case you should have asked before building it. I didn't really want to spend a couple of hours removing it

Don't know who put the gold in, I put in the boosters myself which is only 7 blocks of gold overall and came from my own stores. I didn't leave piles of gold about.

Any news on Multiplay Gar?
Click to expand...

Awaiting a hMod update to be released for this version first.
If you want to make it stress free go off & play some other game for 5 hours then look again it maybe updated then.

Yes think we do need a vote on this but it needs to be open for a week so everyone can have a say.
Then the out come will happen on new years day, I don't want to rush this there is a lot at stake for all.

If you want to work out the shops prices then I am very happy to pass it down.

If someone whats to setup a vote then please do, I have loads to do at the moment.
My vote would be server restart but it's easy for me to say that I have very little work of my own on the server.

gars, i'll happily work on anything you want to delegate, i'd be much more into the 'admin' side (so to speak), than building and mining for my own sake. i have offered in the past to help with contributions to sever costs and things as well so yeah, balls in your court.
 
I will be back when the Beta is up and running.

Some of the recent bugs wrecked the game completely for me.

Looking forward to playing with you guys again soon.

And G, keep up the good work fella !
