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!

LFT.
That was AMAZING.
Yep. Just put them next to each other, and they'll orient so they open towards the middle (if you get what I mean).
Ahh, that was an active mine? Sorry about that. When I was lost down there trying to find my way back out again after a hour or so of wandering around, I was plucking the torches off the wall to try to follow the bread crumbs of light back to the way out... that didn't work, probably in part to the light of the lava. Wasn't trying to steal anything, in fact they are all on that stack of dirt that was left over after I clawed my way through the strata with no tools since I had thought I was just playing (lost) tourist to make sure I didn't wreck anything... of course right after I had emerged from the deep darkness, I think IdolNinja or Kris or someone told me to type /home...
Having run in APB with you I am not surprised you have found another game creativity outlet.
Rapture is awesome.
I just LOL'd so loud at my cubicle just right now... that was bang on :lol:
Here's my first attempt to detonate it:
I say "first" because Minecraft has crashed both times I've tried to detonate it.
At least the game crashed in ways that let me take cool screencaps.
So far we have just two things:
1) Jack
2) Shit
And Jack just got banned.
It's fresh and pristine, ready to be defiled.

The DEEPDWARF ATHEIST UNION has risen to calmly denounce all gods.
We have taken over a free house built by some unknown creator (certainly not a supernatural creator, though) and have claimed it as our rational gathering area.
Oh, and we also created a giant stone structure stating "NO GOD". With torches. It's still quite rational. You can't miss it.
The requirements to join are a complete denouncement of all gods, including silly 'firestars' which probably don't exist. Also, we have a surface entrance (though the surface probably doesn't exist, but just in case), just look for a completely rational gathering of torches in your fictional overworld.
We currently have..._1_ member, but are accepting applications! Just wear a golden hat. Don't have a golden hat? Mine for that shit! What do you think Deepdwarves do? Our headquarters are located east of the giant 'NO GOD' sign, on the left hand side.
I am now going to build a small house and a garden.
Put it in your hand and right-click.
You say that now, just wait until a skeleton archer takes away all your freshly mined ore in a deep dark place.

Single player can be treacherous if you don't know what to avoid and how to handle yourself. Is that your first creeper ever?
Because if you don't have the tools to defend yourself and you get caught close to one, the frantic nature of trying to escape is pretty visceral . Personally, I hate skeltons more than anything because I rarely make bows (too busy to hunt spiders for their string).
I was making a cool wooden skyway, figured I'd use glass hallways as transitions and Lava as a lightsource.
Protip: lava sparks will erupt THROUGH glass and light your wooden causeway on fire from up to 5 blocks away. There goes 2 hours of work. Oh well. At least the cave I found had enough iron to make 40 blocks of iron (so about 375 iron ingots). I'm going to make an iron house.
waiting for the new comic is killin' me.
I can completely understand why you may think that. It's more about when you run into them unexpectedly in a cave or in a spot where you simply don't expect...
Example from my adventures...
I have this thing for hollowing out hillsides etc for fortresses, instead of building up in the sky.
My main digs started with a humble wood cabin at the crest of a large cliff side overlooking a large lake, that lead out to basically an ocean (I'd post pics if I wasn't at work, gorgeous view). From this home base, I dug down into the cliff side and hollowed it out. Started giving it large glass windows to let the sunlight in at sunrise, had a nice waterfall coming down one side, you get the point. It was a cool fortress, it was my home that I was proud of.
Anyhow, the bottom level was actually below sea level, and I had a pool of water near the bottom that fed in from the lake so I had a nice garden inside, and the waterfall fed into it from above.
My location was well lit, so encounters with monsters were very rare, unless I sought them out myself. I could occasionally see Creepers and Zombies bobbing out in the lake at night, but that's about as close as they would get.
OK ENOUGH BACKGROUND STORY... :mrgreen:
I was coming back from an offsite mining location I set up on another island, had a good number of resources. The sun was up, just before noon i'd estimate. I paddled up to my lakeside entrance for my cliffside fortress, disembarked my boat, stepped inside... FACE TO FACE WITH A CREEPER
So let me just say, I am 30 years old. I have a wife etc. I don't startle easily. I'm not afraid of the dark...you get the point. But I literally screamed at the top of my lungs "OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK AUGGHH" I had no weapons in hand, and I basically tried to run away but he was already hissing...BOOOM there goes my 2 large chest...I hope I can find the rest of my **HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS** OH MY FUCKING GO..BOOM another one goes off, sea water flowing in from the breach, HUGE hole where my main level used to be, all chests etc gone.
Lessons I learned.
1) Creepers don't die in sunlight
2) Don't have a water feed in from the lake, it might bring you unwanted visitors
3) Minecraft can cause heartattacks.
Never forget.
Okay I just fell into some lava I found and lost everything I had on... including like 50 redstone ore. I guess it's forever lost in there.
If it is dark I believe.
Creepers: scarier than wives. Fact!
What kind of system stats are required? I've got an old box sitting around doing nothing, but it's not exactly a powerhouse.
Memory is the biggest killer. It is also pretty IO intense when people go exploring, so you want to have a decently fast HD. CPU gets taxed more once you get over 10 people.

Solid State Drive, pretty amazing for SMP.
Loooots of memory, make sure to start it to utilize all that memory or else it defaults to like 512 I think.
A Decent processor helps, the faster the better. Not sure if the server supports multiple processors correctly, or, utilizes them in any significant way.
Mmmmostly. I think your golem got eaten, since Zetx gave me a backup of the map from before you made it.
That said, we've advanced considerably.

Correct, SMP does not utilize multiple processors. Java can, but SMP does not thread currently.

EDIT: danke, Pauper. Glory to the Great and Red.
You are a blasphemer and we RedStoners shall never believe such heresy!
For instance my home PC, 4 cores and it's 3.0GHz-ish. The servers at work? 12(2x6) cores and they're at 2.0GHz. Now, the server works great for lots of little processes that need to get done. Not so great at gigantic single processes that aren't designed for multicore.
I imagine the server software would perform better on a P4 3.2 GHz than a Xeon 2.0GHz system.
