TPU Minecraft Server

hi guys, apparently asking this question is taboo at TPU. anyway, this game really taxes my e8400 and gtx560. do you think upgrading to duel 590s would help?
The PowerColor HD 5570 in my server gets quite a bit of graphic lag at browser resolution. My Sapphire HD 5870 @ HD 5850 specs rarely gets any lag at 1920x1200.
 
Attention TPU Minecraft Residents!

Soon I will be working on a video production of the TPU Minecraft server. I have thought about this for around 6 weeks now and I believe it's time to start this up soon.

The production will be brought to you by 'Xtreme Gaming Presents', my gaming channel.

The overall summary of the project will basically be going over everything in our world. (Mega structures, entire safe town and more importantly, everyone's houses) Essentially, anything man-made. Yes, I did say everyone's houses! ^_^

Here are a few things we need to look at. Your participation is needed in these areas!

*Show Your Work! | Cartographer
Here is the most recent image of cartographer. What I need from everyone is for you guys to pinpoint every location on the map where you want me to shoot and please give the actual title names of the locations. Only show the coordinates of the house or structure if it is insanely far away from the safe zone. Pressing F3 will show you the coordinates. (Ex. BondExtreme's Suite 'here' and other random house 'here' and my random structure is 'here') Sorry but I only gave one example. Also sorry for low res text...
If you want your buildings in the production, you NEED to PM or email me the information. I'm not omnipotent so I don't know where everything is.:laugh: I'm not going to search for your places, especially if it's out of the safe town.:)
Newtekie1 and FordGT90Concept, I am putting you two in charge of pinpointing everything to be recorded in the safe town on the cartographer map. Title names of each structure or area are needed also. Thank you.

*Music!
Music is vital to this production. I want everyone to help out and suggest music titles to use in the project. I came up with a few guidelines.
*All music suggested needs to be instrumental. Any lyrics will not be permitted in this production as it may cause dismay or loss of focus on what is being presented.
*You may suggest music tracks of any genre. I am however only accepting suggestions that contain more of a suspenseful or action-packed feeling. Slow music will not be allowed in this production. People need to be fired up when they hear the music, not falling asleep.
*A few music genre examples that will be playing in the production will generally be Trailer Music, OST's from movies and video games, Techno, and Classical Crossover. Many of you may not know what Classical Crossover is. Just think of it as rap but instrumental.

*Wrap Up Your Projects!
I need to request that everyone start wrapping up what needs to get done. Currently, it is April 7th and starting on this day, I will give everyone a week to finish up. Yes, this does in fact mean that the TPU logo needs to get done. Recording will commence, April 14th at 00:00. Recording will halt April 20th at 23:59. The day recording begins, anyone who didn't email me their locations will get a notification from me. I have a list of names. Bwahahaha!:rolleyes:

*A Closer Look | FAQ
As stated before, I am giving myself a week to record everything necessary. After recording is done, the actual editing will most likely take me another week-two weeks.
Currently, pre-production has already started. Don't be surprised however if this is a four week production. The more help I get from you guys, the quicker it will go.

I will be presenting every person's house/structures in this project but remember, you MUST pinpoint them all if you want them in.
Another thing we need to keep in mind is that every house or structure will only have a few seconds of 'fame'. It depends on how big your house/structure is. For example, if Eroker wants to show off both his 'Big Gay Mansion' and his smaller house across the map, his mansion will be getting around 5-7 seconds on video while his smaller house may only be getting 1-3 seconds on video. It's only fair. If we get every person's houses and structures in the production, we can't be spending precious time on a single person for 30 long seconds.:laugh:

This movie will be quite long if you were about to ask. My estimate is going to be roughly twenty minutes. With everything that will be shown, it shouldn't be hard to get that lengthly. ;)

The FAQ section will be periodically updated.

*Voice Communication Server!:D:D:D
I am proud to announce, starting immediately, our Minecraft Server will have it's own dedicated Ventrilo server! Now you can finally talk with your fellow TPU Minecraft residents/buds!

The ventrilo server is connected with my gaming Youtube channel, Xtreme Gaming Presents. That being said, this is technically the Ventrilo server for Xtreme Gaming Presents. I'll be doing a lot with our MC server to show on future videos.

The TPU MC server is partnering with the Youtube channel for upcoming productions. Basically when someone logs on vent, they can keep up with our Minecraft and other various productions on the Youtube channel from our ventrilo server.

The gaming channel is also another way to participate in videos! Since I will be working on future Minecraft and many, many other, various gaming videos of other games.., I will need your help to produce and release content! If you like video games and commentating, PM or email me to sign up!

For now I am keeping the Ventrilo server open to anyone. Currently, a password or special login will not be required from anyone to join the server.
Ventrilo Server Information
Hostname: cesium.typefrag.com
Port number: 15366
No password


*Contact meh!
PM or email me at xtremegamingpresents@gmail.com

If anyone was curious, no, this production will have nothing to do with Easy Rhino's server. Erocker will just need to rebuild his gay mansion thing. :laugh:

I dont think you realise he was trolling.

Yeah in Australia the amount of f***kheads on the internet is astounding. Especially in gaming communities with an Xbox 360 area.

it is true though. the amount of trolls from australia is astounding. you cannot doubt the numbers. anyway, minecraft time!
 
Sorry went a bit off topic there, calling me a retard was a bit harsh but I did need it to get back on track.

I'll have to get a ton of stone cooked to finish off the road to the massive tree farm. I think one more full inv will do it.

On a side note I have about 20 stacks of redstone I want to get rid of. Anyone want?
 
The overhead images are down. :confused:

I agree with these two, I love them very much!

Also, TPU logo is in process. If you want it finished, I would ask that tekie give me 4 double chests full of red wool, 4 double chests full of white wool. Thanks.

I cant find red flowers anywhere! (they create red dye right?)

(WTH @ multi quote?)

Yes, the red flowers make red dye. I used all my wool, all of Ford's wool, all the swastika wool, etc.

Please place to the chests of wool inside the TPU logo if you dont mind Tekie!
 
You know, the amount of massive structures in the TPU world makes you wonder. Who has the biggest Minecraft world... In the world?

Try saying that 5 times real fast.

You have to go pretty far out. I mean pretty far. People have picked the starting area clean. Try walking far in any direction. You will find red flowers. However, I would rather Tekie give me the wool this time. I need 26000+ more.

Beware of digging in the area circled in red. There are 4 dungeons (1 zombie, 3 skeleton). There's already one skeleton collector and the skeleton fight club is almost done. I plan on making a zombie flight club and another skeleton collector. The area is quite dangerous and you wouldn't want to fall into a collector once it is operational.

It is okay to build above ground in the area. I just have to decide how to connect those flight clubs and collectors to the surface/road but it shouldn't take much space to do that. Hell. I might extend it to include a zombie collector too and have the path come up under the log flume.

Anyway, that'll be my next week-long project. I hope I don't hit any lava.
 
Thought you all might find this interesting.
Breakout indie title Minecraft has now generated more than £20 million ($32.9 million) in its lifetime, with unit sales nearing the 2 million mark.

That's according to the game's creator, Markus Persson, who revealed that he only takes a "normal salary" despite the "huge wad of money" building up.

When specifically asked in a Q&A chat session about how much money has been made by the game to this point, he replied ...
"A lot," he responded. "It all ends up in an account somewhere, and I try not to look at it. I get a normal salary these days for day to day stuff, but there's a big pile somewhere.

"The game sold about 800,000 copies at €9.95 and then so far 1 million more at €14.95. Paypal takes a cut, there are taxes, and such, but it's still a huge wad of money."

Just some light reading for a Thursday. ;)
 
Easy Rhino, the cartograph on your site isn't showing up. :confused:
 
blu3flannel, do you happen to be using chrome? for some reason these huge images only load properly now with firefox and ie9.

Well damn, I'm using chrome. I guess I'll have to keep a FF window up now.

Probably because the browser is timing out the transfer. At 16MB, that is a huge image to download, and it only gets bigger. The carto for my server is now 60+MB before resizing...
 
Dear god Rhino. I think the map might have broken or something. I count at least 100 pumpkins.
