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

At the moment I'm thinking that NPC villages shouldn't be claimable so the same should be true of a stronghold or any other rare map features.

Indeed. Would also be nice if people just left the NPC villages alone rather than rape them for resources.

Would you be willing to make that a rule? I just foresee going out exploring and finding a huge tnt crater where one used to be

I don't want to say for definite but at the moment I'd be leaning towards that.

I think we would have to be flexible about it though. Obviously someone accidentally creepering a village or taking one or two blocks wouldn't really be a hanging offence at first as there's likely to be some confusion.

Flashbacks to star trek's prime directive/non-interference policy...

why not make the village when found part of the transport balloon system.
if it is still going to be used that is.

I am for agreeing to NPC locations being non claimable but
would also say that they should be allowed to be expanded around.
Could make for interesting villages all around the map

I'm really keen to see how the npcs are going to play out in survival. Though they will feel my blade if they start cutting down my forests.

I'm feeling pretty pro wipe come 2.0. I would be happy to start from complete scratch.

Guys what's the name of this programme for copying builds over from the server? I would not want to lose the Arcopolis or arena for all the hours I put into it; just so long as I have a copy of them I am happy.

Hmmm world downloader doesn't seem to work; I've placed the class files inside minecraft.jar. I can login then I get, an updating screen with the progress bar going to 95%.

After that the game window goes black and does nothing.

EDIT: would help if I followed all the instructions

 

[molinari]

I've put my server on again if anybody wants a doss about in 1.8

94.193.74.97:25565

Will be on again later if it's still up. Is there a central place where people are building/mucking about?

 

[Tefal]

But strongholds have rare blocks treat them the same as we do dungeons now imo.

Dunno tbh, I followed the insturctions and it worked first time. I'm assuming you're not trying it with 1.8...
You could try doing a force update from the launcher (click options above login) and try it again.

Could do. Is it confirmed that they are one per world or just rare?

Considering they're so rare to the point where people say it's 1 per world.. That doesn't seem fair at all. Someone can rip it all up and no one else can look around.

Just around the original spawn area really!

LinkTart main world stays as is until retail hits.
1.8 world generated but this world will be wiped when 1.9 comes out. The 1.9 world will also be wiped when retail (2.0?) hits.

When retail hits we get the full on wipe. Nothing carried forward at all.

I'm in agreement here FT. Think this is probably the fairest way it can be done. Also with the fore warning players know what's coming and can build accordingly.

I would also agree with:

At the moment I'm thinking that NPC villages shouldn't be claimable so the same should be true of a stronghold or any other rare map features.

I think if you were creepered and did not have the mats to repair it yourself, it would be easy enough to give an admin a shout and ask for a repair of the location or even PM them with the coordinates explaining what happened, I know Maxi has helped me out in the past with such events - failure to do so could be treated like griefing???

 

[FrenchTart]

Yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable. I may communicate something to players about it sometime though.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Agreed, typical human quality though. Need resource, take resource, destroy the lands...
It would be good if something could be done to preserve rare features of the map.
Might be a bit difficult to police though.

I'm feeling pretty pro wipe come 2.0. I would be happy to start from complete scratch.

The only issue I can see with that is that people will probably be less likely to really get stuck in and make stuff until 2.0 which could be some time away. I'm certainly not likely to start any serious building or searching for mats until I know that there is either going to be some sort of mats transfer allowed or I know the world is going to be around for more than just a couple of months at best.

This will spoil the whole community feel to the server if no-one is doing anything long term or worthwhile for a some time.
