What is the high drive?

 

[Peter1986C]

I guess it is a (rail) road built at a very high altitude, in the sky.

It was on the old world. It went from the max height all the way down to bedrock--a fall of about 119m.

Hmm... Combine the old with Chevalr1c's thought. A rail car max height drop with powered rails to bring the cart back to the top.

Is there any way to host both the old sever and new server on Tectonicus? Or can it only support one map? Having a hard time remembering what we had all created in the old world.

It is possible, and planned eventually.

I plan to even have the old world up and running for people to join and explore. I also plan to map the nether of the current world as well with tectonicus eventually.

We could 1 up the idea... make a roller coaster? Have a main drop that takes you to new max height to bedrock.

I'm pretty sure there is a maximum velocity and tracks don't go any steeper than 45 degrees. Sounds good in theory but not in practice, unfortunately.

 

[jpsandman]

Freefall for the long drop.

I met a creeper near the signs at the Winterfell spawn point, both signs have been destroyed. I placed the sign saying "Winterfell" again a few steps away from the spawn and I left a blank sign next to it that Ford or Newtekie1 need to "fill in" to let the sign based warping to the Warp Hub work again. The warp points themselves (via the console) still work though, obviously.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I got it fixed.

1.2 is coming out tomorrow. Also the team from Bukkit now works for Mojang.

Awesome, on both accounts!

Hopefully this means less down time between version releases.

But as usually, the server won't be updated until bukkit is update and at least the basic set of plug-ins are working(Hawkeye and Lockette).

Indeed, they were saying in the future that bukkit will just kinda become the minecraft API. So there would be no downtime between because they will be one in the same.

The main building of my fortified farmstead has got an attic right underneath the roof, which will serve as a second public storage once there are enough chests (and signs to label them properly). Let me know if you wish to suggest a category (e.g. something we don't have a category/room for at Prime). The only warp to it is "Winterfell" currently, so one has to walk into the "castle" and go to the main building by means of walking. One can enter the building via the main entrance or via the workshop attached to it at the right side.
The guests' bedroom is finished, so anyone who wishes to explore the North can reset his/her spawn point to one of the beds therein.

It may look a bit unfinished in the building, because the bookshelves, carpets, and the like are being worked on (including a table cloth for the large dining table in the main hall on the ground floor). Yet, it looks promising so far, with all the chandeliers, nicely designed staircase, two fireplaces, tables and chairs, two dormers to allow more daylight to the attic, and so on.

BTW, the guests' bedroom and the storage will be marked on the Tectonicus map, once it has been updated.

I keep getting punted immeditly...do I need to get white listed?

If you haven't already, yes you will need to be whitelisted. What is your minecraft name?

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Also, are you running 1.1?

 

[bpgt64]

Name is bpgt64, wife's id bpgt63. Were on 1.2, should we downgrade then?

 

[newtekie1]

You both were already on the whitelist. But the server is running 1.1 until bukkit and the plug-ins get updated, so you will need to downgrade to play on it.

jpsandman, your Efficency V & Unbreaking III shovel is ready and in the vault. Please deposit 7 diamonds in the chest:
1 diamond for making shovel
1 diamond for _Mr_Anderson_
3 diamond for Efficency V (new +2 diamond surcharge on Efficency V requests because it is so rare)
1 diamond for Unbreaking III
1 diamond for Fortune III


I flew past eight level 50s to get that shovel because I was thinking how much enchanting sucks. I think I'm going to start researching ways to make a program keep trying until a given level is found and then stop. I have an idea on how to do it but it requires some theory testing first.

 

[newtekie1]

Apparently in 1.2 enchanting is a little easier/better. It is less random with the levels you get when you place the item in the enchanter, so it only gives you levels within ~10 of your actual level. If you have over 50 levels then the likely hood of getting a 50 right away is extremely high. That is just what I heard was planned though, I don't know if it actually made it into the latest update.

 

[bpgt64]

I still get an end of stream crap. I accidentally updated my client and can't find a non sketch vs 1.1 download.

 

[jpsandman]

Transaction Complete. Thank you!

 

[Peter1986C]

Could an admin or moderator please add a warp point near the sign saying "The Wall"? It will be visible on Tectonicus after it has been updated, and it can be found north of the "Winterfell" fortified farmstead. Thank you in advance.

Edit: And it has been done by Ford. Thanks.
