Minecraft - Anyone into it?

[seremtan]

protip: log in once, then leave the launcher window open for as long as your pc is running

Are you saying there is separate software for launching the game? For me, the launcher just turns into the game once I log in...

oh, maybe i didn't explain that very well. i meant, once logged into minecraft.net, don't log out (i.e. don't close the window) - just leave it at the actual game menu

Ah, fair play. I'll have to try that.

lol looks like only one "player" can be logged in at a time

Oh I know why that made no sense to me: my fucking game crashes every 3 seconds

[Silicone_Milk]

seems its back online

[Silicone_Milk]

except for the server timeouts XD

[Silicone_Milk]

server is right fucked.

Dropped my connection (again). Came back, was dead. Can't move because lag is so bad (zero FPS) because of that experience orb shit.

Unplayable.

EDIT: Can't even get to my goddamn shit because the connection keeps getting reset.

[mjrpes]

reverted back to 1.7.... too unstable at this point

nice test tho

[seremtan]

ok, cool

[seremtan]

yeah perhaps save that map we started for the proper release?

or something

[mjrpes]

My guess is terrain code may change between now and release, so I might scrap... but I'll save it nonetheless

[seremtan]

i mean the map we started with the pre-release, rather than the 'btw cocks' map

[mjrpes]

I was referring to the pre-release map like you said. Terrain generation and NPC towns and abandon mines will likely be tweaked between pre-release and release.

[Silicone_Milk]

are monsters enabled for the 1.7.3 map now or is it still on peaceful?

[mjrpes]

They are off but if ppl want I will enable them

[seremtan]

yeah lets have them it would provide some entertainment given there's no point in building anything on that map any more

[Eraser]

Played a bit today. Who are these people with non-q3w nicks who dont seem to recognize my Eraesr nick?

[seremtan]

monsters are definitely on now. time to tool up

Played a bit today. Who are these people with non-q3w nicks who dont seem to recognize my Eraesr nick?

yeah, who are these people? i knew who you were

[mjrpes]

fKd (Iori_Dyson) and his friend Aufschluss. They created some amazing stuff in the original q3w map.

[seremtan]

oic

[fKd]

heh yeah was us. been busy workin on a new town thing. too bad the 1.8 was buggy as hell. come on notch sort it out.

[Silicone_Milk]

nice. My slime farm will work now. And my strip mines are going to be hell (no torches thanks to the shader mod (ambient lighting))

[Eraser]

Is there an up-to-date map browser still hanging around somewhere? The one that uses the Google Maps API?

[mjrpes]

Original q3w:

Spring map:

Current map:

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

(not up to date because updating occasionally crashes server)

[seremtan]

will any of the other mappers do the job without crashing the server? like minecraft topographical survey, for instance? it's not zoomable (just outputs a png/jpg) but it does the necessary without the giant footprint
