*** Official OcUK Minecraft Server - Discussion and Rules ***

Evening all :)

Have tried the freebie version of minecraft and while i am not that good at it just yet i am getting the idea. If someone could help me with the following i would appreciate it as i am not sure the best way forward.

Am pretty sure that my first port of call is the web site to buy the game, do i create a minecraft username that i can carry to whichever server with me?

Never played on a server i will read the rules thoroughly first just would like to be part of the ocuk one preferably and while i will probably spend a fair bit of time getting the hang of things it would be good to be part of a "team" so to speak.

So yup thats about it and yes i guess what i am asking for is a quick "idiot" guide to make sure i do it properly :)

Thanks in advance :cool:

purchase the game from http://www.minecraft.net/ then go here http://linktart.co.uk/ and follow the instructions to get yourself whitelisted after that download this client http://linktart.co.uk/2012/08/new-launcher/ log in and join the server.

Give me a shout if you see I am on and I will run through the basics with you to get you started my MC name is the same as my forum name
 
5punk3monk3y's covered most of the stuff but there's a hell of a lot of mods on the server (dont worry, the launcher deals with the installation) so you might want some tutorials to help you work out what everything does:

direwolf20's tutorials: all the mods are covered very clearly in his various spotlight and tutorial playlists. if the mod spotlights are too fast paced for you then season 4 of his letsplay is worth looking at
duncan's tekkit playthrough: a slower paced wander through the basics of the main mods on tekkit
technic pack wiki: a great resource for quickly finding out how a specific thing works. it probably wont have everything you need though so the individual mod's wikis might help too


speaking of modpacks, are you guys considering switching over to the FTB modpack for 1.3.x when its ready because it looks like its going to be epic:

Brilliant thanks 5punk3monk3y and Reaper 392 have done the honours, knew i was in the right place when the first thing i spotted was Nuclear Plant build request :D
 
I've had this idea before but how would people feel about having multiple smaller worlds rather than one big main one? (we'd keep the current world of course)

This would mean we could easily have new areas when new stuff comes out and would be more manageable when there are issues.

Related to this, I've been working on the test server today to see if we can get multiverse running nicely so we can get to the old world.

Also..toString...my attempt to restore the region file for your house seemed to fail. I have one extremely old backup that may work so I'll try that tomorrow when I'm in work if I don't get time tonight.

would Mystcraft help with stuff like this? i dont know if you've heard about it but you can create your own minecraft dimensions with many different properties and link to all of them through linking books. in the latest (beta?) version you can use books to teleport to different places in your age

a temporary solution to long distance transport could be a long line of IC2 teleporters in the nether, either powered by a massive lava generator farm or HV solars arrays in the overworld charging up lapatron crystals, shoving them in an ender chest and then being used to power the teleporters (similar to direwolf's watermill setup)
 
Finished my super-duper-mega-sorting-processing-rig today. Chuck anything into the "dump chest" and it'll either sort it into one of the chests, macerate it, recycle it, burn it, squeeze it or compress it into a finished product - then it'll put it into the right chest.

No more mucking about when I'm done mining, just dump the lot in a chest and walk away :)

not off the top of my head. after Direwolf did the community room in his server play he used the water mill in his own setup reasonably early on. i couldnt give you an episode number though :(

what you have is a 3x1 infinite water source with a redpower deployer facing the middle water block.
you have a filter connected to the deployer which will pull full buckets of water out of the deployer and into the redpower tube network, which you will need to connect to all of your engines in a similar way to the buildcraft pipes.
you also need a retriever connected to those pipes which will pull out empty buckets from the engines (one retriever can pull from every engine you have). the retriever's output needs to be connected to the deployer so that the empty buckets go back in. the retriever needs some redpower blutricity to work. since your silo is inside you will want a thermopile with a block of lava on one side and a block of water on 4 other sides for the blutricity

hook all three machines up to a timer and let it run. it might need a bit of time to fill up the engines at the start but once you get it going it should keep up with demand if you give it enough buckets.

it might be worth having a play in creative mode in single player so you can experiment with it

*edit*
i'll take a screenie of my setup that i use for my watermills tomorrow if you need me to. i would do it tonight but its late and there's cables and wires going everywhere because its in a really tight space

I have made a few requests on the LT site forum and directly, but I have heard nothing back in regards to getting my old build from the old world.
I know you have the map available and your waiting upon plug ins to work effectively to provide us physical access to the map on the modded server, but I would just like to request a copy of the map or at the least my part, so I can continue working on my build.

Is there some problem with providing me a copy of the map?
 
Hey Pod,

FT actually posted yesterday that he is playing with multiworld on a test server in hopes with the new launcher has fixed its issues, if this goes to plan it will allow the old map to be added.

I'm guessing if it doesn't go well then we can claim defeat for now and upload the old world file. I'm really hoping he can get it working as I will have a nice surprise for you guys ;)
