When did you move back, Brad?

Because the block re-appearing issue was still present late last night...

and is still present now...

Brad · 2011-02-27, 13:40

Around midnight last night was when I restarted the server with the proper config.

billybobsky · 2011-02-27, 15:18

So it is still clear, then, that the block-o-reappearing is a update bug and unrelated to your machinations...

OK, I'm not usually a fan of YouTube music videos, but that was pretty epic.

Scratch that. I forgot that since the world format has changed, nearly all of the editing and viewing tools are broken. Maybe in another week's time.

Ummm...maybe it's time you didn't all go away at the same time? Even corner shops leave someone to "hold the fort"* when they go places.

Actually... please do. I'd be happy to hear your rant against a historically inaccurate but commonly used phrase. If for no other reason than then I could rant about it myself.

Agreed. I'd especially like to hear why I'm wrong about my helium balloon fort. SOMEONE better hold that down.

Addendum: I totally lurk in this thread all the time and live vicariously through all of your vicarious minecraft lives, even though I've never played minecraft. I even look up terms I don't understand and watch all the videos and look at all the pictures and stuff.

So, when you are feeling bad about living your life one step removed from the "real" world, just remember there's someone else living two steps removed, and that his vicarious (x2) existence derives entirely from yours, filtered through the medium of an internet message board....

RowdyScot · 2011-03-05, 16:01

...Dude, just buy the game, zsummers.

Trust me, it's much more fun actually being in on the action.

I'm on my iPhone, so excuse the mobile YouTube link, but Mr David Michell explains it better than I can: http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...&v=om7O0MFkmpw

Also, buy now while it's still Beta priced!

So glad I just got in on the Alpha - free updates forever? Yes please.

Apologies to Mr and Mrs T for bailing in a hurry just now - lost track of time and looked up from the laptop to see Mrs Bryson with her coat on, tapping her foot!

709 · 2011-03-05, 16:53

Bryson, if I don't see you later tonight I put that gray wool in the chest outside the library. Maybe later we could go squid hunting to make grey dye now that I see how much you'll need.

Bryson · 2011-03-05, 17:15

Awesome, thanks!

I can't say I've ever seen a squid in the AN server. Maybe there's a trick to it?

I've seen them swimming up into the sky through chunk errors. Never actually in the water, though...

Brad · 2011-03-05, 17:19

Sheer luck.

Actually, squid were far more common when they were introduced, but the next small update reduced their numbers considerably. I saw many squid on the server in that first release, and I haven't seen a single squid since (outside of chunk errors). Further, squid seem unable to climb upwards in water. So, they generally drift around in the dark bottom of bodies of water until they quietly despawn.

*shrug*

SpecMode · 2011-03-05, 20:23

I actually hunted a few last night, oddly enough - there were a good half-dozen swimming around in the water off Mob Hill. They're still around, if you actually bother to look for them.

I've got about 30 ink sacs, if anyone needs them.

Bryson · 2011-03-05, 22:09

Me me me! I really need the Grey wool or the ink sacs - it's a rather large roof to cover,

No problem Bryson. I understand needing to run some times.

You can stop by of I can run it to you went ever.

zsummers, just buy the game. It's worth it. Even if you only play it for a little while.

Edit: BTW, Bryson, a gift is waiting for you in the chest in the attic of the library.

Kraetos · 2011-03-06, 15:56

Are the map tools fixed yet? It's been almost a month since the last map update.

Brad · 2011-03-06, 16:42

Funny you mention it. I just told the guys on the server earlier this afternoon that c10t, the image generator I use, has relatively stable (but still somewhat buggy) builds now compatible with 1.3. I've been using it this afternoon on a backup I made today. Results look promising, and I'll be posting an updated image later tonight.

As for deleting chunks, the jury is still out.

Also, in Windows, mapping sneak to caps lock doesn't work the way you'd expect it too. On Mac/Linux you stay sneaked until you hit it again, jump, or open your inventory, but on Windows it functions the same as any other key.

turtle · 2011-03-06, 18:05

Oooooo... I didn't think to map Sneak to caps lock!

Oh yeah. Super useful. But beware: opening your inventory while capslock'd will unsneak you. So make sure you're not on a ledge if you need to enter your inventory!

While we're on the topic, the default mapping is awful. Awful awful awful. It's not just negligent; it seems like it's been designed to fuck with you as much as possible.

Drop on Q? Right next to move forward? Yeah, I changed that the first time I threw my sword at a creeper.

Inventory on I? The most used non-movement key and it's all the way on the other side of the frakkin keyboard?? Why not just use E or Tab?

Chat on T? WTF? No, seriously, what the fuck. I've never encountered an online game, ever, that had chat mapped to anything besides return.

Toggle Fog on F? What the hell, man? Why do I even need this key? Moreover, switching to "Far" or "Normal" lags the game considerably, so hopefully you don't panic and hit F when you meant to hit D to dodge that creeper! I changed that to O where it is nice and out of the way.

Seriously, I don't know who came up with the default keymap, but it's almost like it was designed specifically to frustrate you as much as possible by putting the keys you need where you can't reach them and putting the keys you don't want where you can't miss them. Basically the only thing they got right about the defaults was mapping movement to WASD.

Bryson · 2011-03-07, 00:11

Oh wow. That's not my exploration South - not sure who that was, but not me. I didn't even get as far as the first winter Biome.
