I saw that somebody built a pair of portals in Turnip Castle when I logged on today - you mean they don't do anything?

Pity there's no way to GET netherrack in SMP at this point.... you know since you can't port to hellworld and all.

Hence why Mojang hasn't officially fixed to yet :-P

Bukkit has put us in quite the predicament.

In SMP, correct. Nothing but make noise and look cool.

That is correct. I also built one into the wall in DickKeep. Just looks pretty and makes noise at this point.

Yes, bukkit has made things interesting there... IMO it's a small price to pay for having plugins and a whitelist again though. Hopefully SMP hellworld won't be far behind.

SMP Nether is coming as confirmed by Notch. Though the way the game is coded last he mentioned it there will need to be two servers. One regular world and one Nether and the portals would transfer you between the two. He states there are more issues there because of inventory control. To throw another wrench in the gears he has also mentioned adding a 3rd dimension being the opposite of the Hellish Nether.

Edit: There are a few major "bugs" that have been exploited enough to become the norm. Notch has mentioned leaving these in the game until he can implement a replacement. The next big one is mine cart "boosters", not a feature, a physics glitch that Notch has said he will get rid of, but again will implement a replacement for.

noon is one of the hardest times to log on to MC due to MC.net unavailability. Maybe noon isn't the best time to reset everyone's connections to the IC MC server?

the_technocrat · Feb 2011

in other news, can connect to MC.net but not to our server since noon.

Snarkasm · Feb 2011

I can't connect to minecraft.net, but from what I can see, MC is still running (not hung) on the server. :(

Snarkasm · Feb 2011

And now I can jump in, but I get a 503 response from minecraft.net when connecting. Methinks it's not our server that's the issue.

GHoosdum · Feb 2011

The 503 error is related to authentication on the minecraft server end, so you're correct Snark. The odd thing is that the minecraft servers were supposedly upgraded to eliminate such problems. You'd think with the pile of cash that notch has made so far, we'd see some more improvements to the experience.

midga · Feb 2011

I've noticed there's no /help for bukkit. Where can the command list be found?

ardichoke · Feb 2011

I updated the first post in this thread with the current commands available from the plugins we have installed.

I'm open to doing the backups and whatnot at a different time. Feel free to open a thread and we can try to work out a time that works better for the most people. I chose noon because I figured it would be the time that the least amount of people would want to be playing.

Same here. I can reach the title screen, but trying to get on the server is futile.

ardichoke · Feb 2011

Latest addition to the Official server, I'm setting it up to generate an updated isometric map each day after backups are taken. Once the map is generated, the old one will be overwritten. Fair warning, from my test renders, it looks like the maps are pretty big (around 45MB). I wouldn't recommend opening them in your browser.

Can we remove the cave mode flag? Also, what renderer are you using?

ardichoke · Feb 2011

Sorry bout that, the cave mode rendering was a test. It will render normal when it does the scheduled job tomorrow. If I have time later tonight I'll run a manual job to replace the map. The coffee shop I'm in right now is closing though and I have to go.

I get "Image cannot be displayed because it contains errors". Is it just me?

Winfrey · Feb 2011

You'll probably have to download the image. Too big for browsers.

TonyRockyHorror · Feb 2011

Man...lag is a bitch and a half tonight. :(

ardichoke · Feb 2011

Okay, there's a non-cave render of the Icrontic map up now. The lag last night was probably due to the renders I was doing. If they cause problems in the future, I'll probably go with weekly renders instead of daily (or perhaps stop doing them altogether). Either way, future renders should be quicker since I'm making use of caching. Oh, and as for software, I'm using c10t.

CB · Feb 2011

I also get "Invalid image" when I try to look at it with "Windows picture and movie viewer" and Picasa crashes if I try to zoom in.

I was only able to see the image loading it in Photoshop. :/

That's a big image...

Thanks, didn't think to check. :o

cola · Feb 2011

I opened the image just fine, I see lotsa caves.

ardichoke · Feb 2011

Crap, I apparently left the -c flag in the script. Fixed it. Generating an updated map now.

BobbyDigi · Feb 2011

Possible to throw up an admin message when you are about to do that? Bunch of us on the server just got mad lag spikes causing lost items.
