Evening Reading
I'm super-excited for GSL 2, which is currently finishing up its offline qualifiers and should begin streamed matches in a little over a week. Some StarCraft: Brood War pros have begun making the switch to SC2, including BoxeR--the most famous SC:BW pro--and NaDa. Non-Korean players Greg "IdrA" Fields and Dario "TLO" Wunsch, both of whom played in GSL1, have qualified for GSL2.
The quality of games should get better and better as the GSL seasons continue.

Was it ever confirmed that he used an importer? The only thing I'd seen of that claim was one post on here that didn't offer up anything as proof.
-
-
Yes. I read an interview with the guy somwhere. Will attempt to find the link. Basically, he had the wireframe for it done in blender, then converted it from meters to blocks 1:1. Not sure exactly on the process used to import it, but I'm sure it was with one of the many available already.

Is there a way to make an infinite lava spring?

Is this MP only? I was under the impression that it was impossible in SP.

In multi with Llamacraft, yes.
In single player, not that I've found. -
I guess it's not possible in single player

Following your links I read: "Your inventory and items in your chest are stored on your client, not on the server, so other players can't see them and they go away when you disconnect. Drop your stuff on the ground for other players before you disconnect". I am guessing this has changed? The content of my chests stays even if I am not logged?

Ill look into it but I don't think I can use MCAdmin & hey0 at the same time. They duplicate a Lot of functionality.

/tp should be enabled now, let me know if there's anything else that you would like to enhance your enjoyment of leveling mountains with excessive amounts of TNT let me know. -
So i proposed the idea of a Weekly Build Contest in Merc's server and thought I'd post about it here.
You'd have one week to build a given object ( dinosaur, boat, car... something general and not specific ) and judging of objects will be on Sundays by foo and some of the mods.
Sound good?-
[deleted]
-
-
1) one week to build
2) no griefing other builds
3) judged based on size, detail, and creativity (i.e. uncommon uses for certain blocks, details with minimal block usage, etc.)
4) any unreasonable amount of a certain block type (diamond, gold) will result in disqualification.-
5) any build that is completely different from the given subject will not count. Unless it's funny. then it's ok.

SMP Infinite(ish) lava font, don't ask me why it works exactly but it seems to work all the time 90% of the time.
Sometimes you have to replace a lava source that's decided to dissapear.
I build the tube at the top first then put a temporary plug underneath it while i build the pit underneath from the ground up. then i clear the temporary plug. and build the ground/eye level surrounding enclosure.
I suspect it works because there's enough lava source surrounding all the collection points to revive them as lava source after each bucket, as well as the limitation by the glass to a low angle of access forcing you to pull the buckets out in a manner similar to how I understand Hemtrolls technique to work.
Here's one I made earlier with a few alterations, it's using the main lighting tube so it's got a bit more glass to it than the above design. http://www.shackpics.com/files/lavafont_2wim9roqy7940lzhb99d.jpg

ps. This is probably the most complicated shacktags I've tried yet, if things go all Dong Patrol I apologize in advance.
pps. I would've done a trial post but I can't find the unicorn puke test thread. -
so sometime this evening (I think) redstone stopped working on mercfox. Clocks not doing their thing. Wondered if it was just me so I checked out Port Thongs sensor tower. Sure enough it's not working either. There's a sign there that says it's broken due to a mod. Is that Hey0?
It worked pretty reliably before. What happened?-
i've been trying to put some lava in some missing places, but the buckets don't work either.
-
lol while I was posting this vividvoid was building a cage around me made of obsidian or bedrock or something. I heard popping noises and escaped before he added the last wall
-
andy302 and I did a ton of testing. Ton of stuff that worked before is busted now. dunno if it is minecraft update or hey0 or some hey0-llama interaction. Is frustrating though. redstone has been the most interesting part for me lately.
I asked for a copy of the world file once. Is obviously no go. Is there any way to get a copy of my tiny chunk? Would love to test out the circuits in singleplayer, and am still very interested in having a copy of what I've made (dumb idea to get invested in something in alpha I know)
-

My server is gone. Thanks to everybody who played on it! I have a hard copy of the world if anybody wants to play it on single player or try and rehost it. http://agentpothead.com/Insamnity.rar
it's over 240mb rarred so please don't waste my bandwidth unless you intend to play it :)-
-
This was an amazing server, thanks mate. I've not been playing much minecraft of late as I want there to be monsters! Notch and Co. need to pull their finger out on the creature side of it.
-
Thank you :) and no problem! I haven't played in over a month, which was one of the reasons I took the server down.

You're very welcome :) Tell bunnie I said hi too :)
