Minecraft! 1.8 Adventure Update is officially here! NEW MAP

Anyway, crazy question about the rails. Would it be possible (if the traffic ever justified it and the server got big and populated enough, just hypothetically) to create more than the two main lines (North/South, East/West)? Say, an additional East/West line around x=1500 that would still intersect with the main North/South line. We don't need it (yet, I don't think) but I was wondering.

Not so crazy question about the rails: are there any plans to update the map and the stations? I know the South line has gotten rather longer and more complicated recently. Also I'd like to be able to go straight to Aqaba instead of going south and then changing the station to Aqaba.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Yes #1: if someone wants to dig the intersecting tunnels, make sure they aren't hitting people's stuff, etc., go nuts. The whole system is designed to expand as traffic requires (which is why there's room for two-track systems near spawn, etc.). Routing a grid system is going to be a total bitch, though, so don't think it'll be puppies and roses to actually implement.

Yes #2: when people PM me, I update the map. I have one PM re map updates.

Yes #3: station updates happen as people see the need for it (due to traffic) or when they PM me and I can put down my gigantic blueberry pie slices long enough to go update the relevant stations. I have zero PMs with such requests, and this is a lot of pie.


What? It's fresh fruit season here in southwestern Virginia!

god, i have not taken advantage of the summer bounty at all, and there's a hipster farmer's market right by our place every Saturday. however, it is in the morning, which explains why i don't want to walk there with all the people and the daylight, hissss. i need a goddamn watermelon and some fresh corn.

o, uh hai guys. i'll try to work on my Skylands city some night this week.

introp, i am jealous of your pie. i have not had any pie this summer. or cobbler. this is a travesty.

Oh man I've been too busy to play Minecraft lately. Oh noes I am losing touch with the happenings on the server.

So this most recent tweet by notch sheds some light on when the 1.8 adventure update will be coming out.

If he is saying it will be playable at pax in late august, that means it wont be out till sometime in september or later. With the release date of minecraft set to be november this could very well be the last really big update until after the game comes out.

newest render, as of today 4am EST: http://zoom.it/zag8

Makes me sad I won't be at pax.

ultimakay

I wasn't able to get the money together this year for prime, hopefully i can hit both pax's next year.

TheExAm

I'm going to join in this non-pax sad-five.

also, found a post processing shader

jammu

That lamb in the corner is sad too.

TheExAm

Holy god you guys sunrises with this shader

If I make it to next year's PAX prime, I'll make it a point to personally thank you for running the server.

Here is a shot of my island on the left and Ferrets Island on the right, from the future site of <Insert Name Here> Harbor Station!

Very spare and Spartan, kind of a nice contrast after staring at the giant boat in my harbor for the last few weeks.


I think so much of this game has been epic projects, mine or other peoples, it's kind of nice to see such a simple landscape with modest buildings like this.

Don't hold out on us, where is that shader?

Donovan Puppyfucker

So, I'm really dumb. Are all the orientations normal on this server? Like, do clouds still travel in the correct direction? When I press F3, which f(0,1,2,3) number is facing south?

I wanna go all the way to the very farthest southeast corner of the map and mine to my hearts content...

DarkPrimus

I should probably go back to spawn to clean up the mess around my underground entrance... anyone want to try helping me wire up a vertical piston elevator? Wait, first I need to have the materials to make 12 sticky pistons...

So the way I understand it, the bedrock is essentially replaced with gates to the nether?

Pretty much, the layer you first see the bedrock is fine, but digging down into the bedrock layer will teleport you to the nether.

Also for any interesting parties, if our map had a sea level of 100 it would look like this (this is only a 5k x 5k map, so imagine this but 3 times larger): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19689254/rendertest100.png

Fuck Kevin Costner, someone call Link and the King of Red Lions

Here are the shaders I'm using:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6250847/NormalMapShaders64/NormalMapShaders64_post.zip

I'm feeling generous, so they're packed in a kit with instructions.

Warning: Your graphics card might explode. I can run Crysis at its best quality and Spawnville still lags a bit.

That's for him to know and for you to find out.

And possibly die trying.

i always called him talking boat or the talky boat, or the boat who knows everything for some strange reason and can't get to the point and keep his mouth shut! and drags on and on and on.

So what patch is the server on right now? Couldn't find it anywhere in the op.

Yeah I kinda made that kit as a one time thing. Getting all the mods together is time consuming and I have to do it for myself every time minecraft updates. Those instructions should be good for the next versions of those mods, though. You'll have to get new versions of everything but the shaders themselves.

Daxnitro is not working on the GLSL mod at the moment, so you have to scrounge its thread for the unofficial updates by Laurina, who's been updating it basically by herself. Dax said he'd add her updates to the OP, but so far he hasn't come through on that.

Who knows though, I might put out another kit when everything comes out on the next version, if there's enough demand.

This is correct. Soon the server will be on 1.7.3 as well, I will tell you guys when it is.

It took me a few nights of debugging, but I finally got my piston lighting system to work! It replaces four of the ceiling blocks with glowstone with the flick of a switch.

After:

special thanks to pulse limiters, er, positive edge detecting, variable output pulse devices:winky:, and to my attic, for being huge.

South is positive, North is negative on the X axis.

West is positive, East is negative on the Z axis.

Y axis is your altitude/depth.

So Cliff City for example is around X1000, Z-300 (South-East of spawn).

Type /pos in-game for more help.

peeps, I've been looking for this texture pack all day, I saw it a few months ago and thought it looked really cool.
it's basically the default textures but at a crazy high resolution, the planks still looked like planks but if you looked closely they had a wood-grain thing going on, stuff like that.

it was even normal-mapped! but I just cant find it and I'm slowly going insane looking.

does anybody know what I'm talking about?

how many pistons did it require?
