Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Reposting this from the old thread, since it's pretty cool stuff. I'm a bit suprised it hadn't been done earlier - it's an nice way of adding some extra flair to the graphics.
I was going to suggest adding Quandary to the list of texture packs in the OP but, after checking the site, it seems it doesn't quite work properly with the latest version. That's probably because it's a pack of 12 textures - one for each month - and doesn't work so well with the new biomes.
Edit: Checking the thread, I can see why the ambient occlusion hasn't been done before - it's not a standard SSAO implementation, it had to be a bit cleverer than that!
I think he should have made portals appear on the other side in the exact spot where they should despite the surroundings. If it would end up in a solid mountain then dig yourself out, if you end up over a lava pool watch your step. They could probably just remove any blocks within a 3 block radius and then spawn the portal in a cobblestone sphere, so no matter what you are safe until you break out of the stone. It may end up spawning an ugly sphere in your base if you aren't careful, but that seems like a pretty minor thing.
what we really need is more things to do with redstone. Is there a reason he hasn't put floodgates or trapdoors in? that would be one of the first and most obvious things I'd have implemented. Some very fun drowning traps to be had...
I punch it and it goes away, but I don't get anything..
Use a shovel and you will have more than you ever want.
Every freaking map I made was a white wasteland
El Dorado: Never forget and The Defense of Minas Tirith, Capital of India
I haven't seen any falling snow since the update.
also:
fuck, i found out water evaporates on contact with those blocks, too. balls.
Next time keep a bucket of boiling [strike]oil[/strike] lava you can pour on invaders. Tis the proper castley thing to do.
Also, my portal created a portal in the Nether that no longer links back to my first portal, but rather to a portal quite a distance away and in another whole cave.......
edit: nope, evaporates no matter what surface you are putting it on.

bring flint and steel and you can relight your portal. Happened to me in the Nether. That was a terrifying 10 minutes. Apparently, if the Ghasts hit your portal with their bomb it will disrupt your portal. :\
(for a wimp like me)
Don't drink the water.
water, water everywhere ,but not a drop to drink
Should give me your save file. I keep trying to load in new SP maps to get large expanses of ocean with no success to speak of.

Snow biome so there's ice over the entire surface of the water. I didn't realize this of course and it's taking forever to break, and I drown. I lost so much iron that I had picked at the new portal and hadn't had a chance to deposit in a box yet.. New inventory staple - a box so I can unload precious materials as I find a safe passage home. Diamond pick, some gold, like half a stack of iron, a stack of coal.... Ugh.
edit: and torches melt ice. That's cool. Never new that before.

Thinking about making a transoceanic rail system.
My return portal ended up in a cave under the ocean
I stripped all the torches out of Rapture
And pasted it back into our multiplayer map.
It seems to be working for now.
Oddly, when I did that to Columbia, it didn't work.
I don't know what to make of that.
But, at least we have Rapture back for now. It is creepy as shit down here with no light.

As far as I am concerned the map is now completely fucked and we gotta load up the last back up. This is the link to the map that I uploaded last night. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14282730/World5.rar Please install this, I have errands to run today and I won't be home until 4pm pacific time, and it is 10:50 right now.
The spawn was moved from it's position, and because of how BorderLands works, the map size increased from 50mbs to 140mbs. The spawn building is unfinished but it is a brick building with a wooden roof and a half block castle wall thing on top I don't have the word at this hour, on a tiny trio of islands near the center of the map. You will have to zoom in to see it. Here is the link again. I'm sorry but I tried to upload a picture of the map with the building pointed out but I just can't do it right now, the image isn't uploading and I have to go soon.

People in the thread I set up in Social Entropy are trying to work on fixing the problem but the map is just too huge and we should probably just start over.
(BorderLands is still a good mod and we should keep it on the Social Entropy server, we just can't ever move the spawn again.)
EDIT: I probably set it up wrong last night because I was tired. In the BorderLands.txt change the number from 2200 to 1100.

I'll deal with it when I come home from running errands, the map is just so completely messed up that I just wanted to get it to a workable state for now.
I told people that I probably set up the borderlands mod incorrectly so they know that I asked you to change it from 2200 to 1100. If it is too small I will change it when I come home.
They also know to expect changes to the map between now and tomorrow so its ok.
The spawn is slightly off center and that is ok. If the borders change slightly, I can load up MCEdit myself and fix it, I just can't do it with my computer with the size that it is now.
EDIT: Someone was able to find and location the spawn for you. http://i51.tinypic.com/2lx6kn7.jpg
Looks like a remake of an old desktop wallpaper I had a while back.

Ambient occlusion.
No amount of wizardry on my part seems to work for Columbia, though.

If it's lighting that's an issue, don't forget that redstone and lava generate light. Might be worth stripping and re-applying those too.
I didn't do that on Rapture and it works fine. I brought Rapture with torches over, and it's unaffected.
I thought maybe the shadows on the field were the problem, so I deleted the field as a test. Didn't help either, so I undid that and removed Col from the map again.

And just to be clear this doesn't affect the lag bug that's still crippling the server, right?
I do wish I hadn't let myself look up some recipes and strategies so as to preserved that fresh exploration feeling longer, but sometimes I get bored putting what I think are logical combinations of items into the crafting window. I enjoy the building and exploring more.

Time spent exploring before you realize that you can no longer find the entrance: Two minutes.

Solution: Make a new one! :winky:

okay, is this the occlusion mod? Waht does it do, create dynamic shadows that follow the sun's path or something? If so, awesome.
also makes that screenshot sexy.
