Overview map:

http://mc.quake3world.com/mcmap-1.8/

Guys, I think the problem with rendering the previous map was the large size. This map took 5 minutes to render; the previous one took 2 hours. If you can hold in your urge to explore 10,000 blocks in all directions, then daily map updates shouldn't be a problem.


excellent. the epic forest isn't as epic as it looks

also: you might need to update the mapping program for 1.8, as i notice a number of textures are missing (i.e. the entire walls of silicone's spawn safety zone and my japanese castle foundation just left and down from it)

nope

in any case, my eyes have had enough of hi-res sets. lack of mipmapping makes the middle to far distance horribly scratchy

I've been following this thread, and I really like the concept.
It's just the poor blocky graphics that put me off, shallow whore that I am, but I understand its necessity;
Higher graphic fidelity would lead to all kinds of crap to take into account, crippling accessibility.

But fuck it, I'll probably join this weekend.
My excuses in advance.

just out of curiosity: is anyone at all playing in survival mode?

just wondering, because if there is i might build a mob trap tower in that park next to the spawn, which will serve the dual function of producing loads of goodies, as well as giving mobs somewhere useful to spawn instead of in caves (since the surface is lit up like a xmas tree)

Villages are pretty much placeholders until features are added in future updates.

Odd that all villages have spawned in desert.

Quote:
Alongside the snowmen, Notch has also indicated that he'll be tweaking the behavior of the new creature introduced in 1.8: the Endermen. Currently, Endermen have a habit of grabbing blocks and carrying them around, sometimes vandalizing your hard work on a cool construction. Notch admits that this wasn't his best idea, and has decided to remove the behavior in the upcoming patch.


thank jeebus for that

also, videos of egghead villagers and fire slimes:





mjrpes: we gonna hold off on this? probably buggy as fuck

Probably... but moreso to give you guys some time to play with this map and get tired of it before trying something new.

If the experience and NPC system (maybe trade system) gets implemented in 1.9 then the next server update will go survival, with new map. I hope that with experience you get to a high enough level that you can start building things with the speed of creative.

i tried a mod earlier that introduced ambient sounds (mostly stolen from source engine games) dependent on player's location. was pretty good apart from the annoying wind sound while flying - like listening to a cistern refill with an ear infection. uninstalled it straight away

it's amazing though that derptch hasn't bothered to include ambient sounds. this game is so unfinished

Then again it's been mostly a one man team until recently.

There's so many little things he could do. Like having a delay before you hear thunder, based on distance. Or circles.
