Morning Discussion: Thanksgiving Edition
We also get to see again what happens when I'm the only person behind the news desk. I would like to pretend it'll wild and exciting today but in reality, today will be very slow and quite dull as everything has shut down in concession to the USA and I don't particularly want to get scolded for misbehaving on the Internet--a very serious crime.
Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die in Black Friday queue crushes.

I know what the point of the mod is. It's to build 'superstructures' like Duke City or Port Thong on the old server, with many residents inhabiting them. I'm saying that's not how people tend to build on Merc1. Granted, it may be different when mobs are active.
I think if we do end up using Towny, it will be in a very limited fashion, using 'nations' to tie together a large area where, say, people would like to only build with no PvP. I just think that it's a complex solution to a simple problem -- and the simplest answer is multiple servers, not a convoluted mod.

notch Markus Persson
I will be adding something like a no-health-at-all or heal-over-time setting. The death/invis bug is getting fixed, too.
HACKhalo2
@notch will the bugfix be released shortly, or are you going to roll out some of the less major ones before releasing a fix?
@notch Markus Persson
@HACKhalo2 i just woke up. Theres a meeting today at work, but im prioritizing getting the update out today. Worst case, tomorrow.
Based on his twitter I'm not sure if anyone has reported the invisible creeper issue to him. I'll try to catch him if I see him posting. Dude really needs a public bug submission/ranking system. -

Well I've got to credit him for some snappy bug-squashing:
notch Markus Persson
This respawn bug is killing me. I keep thinking I've fixed it, and notice some other obscure corner case. It's mostly fixed now, though
liv3d
@notch How about SMP & invisible mobs / players ?
@notch Markus Persson
@liv3d the mobs have been fixed. Working on a final respawn bug now.
notch Markus Persson
OH SNAP, I found the bug!! Do I update now or tomorrow? If I update now and there's a bug, you're stuck with it until tomorrow.-

Proposed PVP server rules
Players must add a band to their arm to signify what kingdome they belong to.
Players who do not with to pvp but to build wear white.
Kingdome that are pvp add a P to the end, example VividsShitholeKingdome_P
Kingdomes that are build add a B to the end, example Funkyshaps_B
You may not kill another player in a build kingdome (safezone)
You are only allowed to destroy blocks (if we do this) if members of the other kingdome are online.
If you end up being invisible dont be a dink, if someoen says your invis relog.
Your house if in a PVP kingdome has to be accessible to enemies
What does this mean? It means you have to use redstone on your doors and you must have doors
This means you will have to put secret switches / combos on a door.
We could exempt treasure rooms so no chest griefing, But dont hide in your chest room.
Any violation of a law will be a warning for the kingdome and after the warning a 1 block deduction, awarded to the kingdome that caught you breaking the law.
Just soem of my ideas. -

I still can't ride minecarts (get disconnected), and I cant pick up blocks.
The picking up blocks seems to be some sort of issue with my character, as other people didn't have that issue. I when and demonstrated to to someone last night (forgot who), by placing some dirt blocks breaking them, emptying my hand, and then walking over the broken block, and it didn't get picked up. They saw me break the block, and not pick it up, and were themselves able to pick it up.
Also the minecart issue seems to happen if no one else is in the area, I was able to get in a minecart near that other person, but when I walked a was away (far enough that I didn't see their name anymore) and tried again, I got disconnected again. -

If you're wearing armor, and you take damage, you will die as if you had no armor hit points, but you will still be walking around (immortal, but can't interact, monsters follow you, but don't attack, etc.) Take off armor, then kill yourself by jumping off a cliff. Your death/damage will take effect after you reconnect to the server. Then you will die properly and can respawn normally. Don't use armor!
