One option is all the players band together and build a north/south running lit road to help with travel to new lands of opportunity. Would speed travel considerably when you don't have to jump/climb swim all the way through potentially mob filled areas.

[DarkLadyPhoenix 62]

I wouldn't mind doing that. It would mean there would be something I can work on an hour at a time each night with no pressure to "finish" a minor task like I did with the castle.

[redundantusage 330]

Yeah, I was planning on doing this for one of the servers I was on, but then a world reset before I could finish my house first. I guess first we gotta wait for the server to update to 49g. I have two different theories on how it could feasibly be made:

The cobblestone highway, all flat parts would be from whatever cobblestone is on hand with the person adding it, all stair based parts for going over minor hills would be made of wood from local trees. It would be patchwork but efficient, and at least provide a rudimentary highway system for everyone to use and expand from.

The brick highway, constructed either from all the same stone or whatever stone is local to each section. Obviously more resource intensive as metal is then involved.

Either way, fully lit would really be the best policy as an unlit road with mobs all over it is no real road at all.

I think we're going to upgrade sooner than I'd expected. I thought by assuring everyone that we'd have a relaxed upgrade, no rush, we'd avoid the mass exodus we had last time when we upgraded as quick as we could, but I guess people wanna play the new version regardless, so we still have a dead server. :-P I'll be putting together a good archive of DLP's spawn and the showcase for DHB #2 this weekend.

Let me know if you need help Slink

In my case it's like I lost all motivation to do anything on the server knowing that the map reset is comming, and doesn't matter if it's comming in a week or in a month. I'd want it sooner than later. And I know that the next update will come which might need a map reset but thats different. So I'm happy to hear that you're going to update sooner ^^ And I still think that you run the best server ever

[DarkLadyPhoenix 62]

^ Yup

Too much My Little Pony. As soon as I saw that post I thought about:

The road actually sounds fun to me. Let's see how long that lasts.

The road actually sounds fun to me. Let's see how long that lasts.

49 is still going through major changes, and not all of them are documented in the changelog. Check the bug tracker.

- Surface rocks are defaulting to shale or some other rock regardless of what the top layer is

- Crops not growing in SMP

- Near-surface ores always spawning at Y=129 (130)

- Random chunks/odd terrain transitions

- Chopping down a sequoia causes crash

Not complaining, just saying it's still a bit messy. Fixes could require multiple map regens if the terrain gen is altered even a little. I'm all for helping out Bioxx testing builds on DHB, but I wouldn't start any massive projects until it's more stable.

[Holy_Shield 17]

Have not tested crops yet but, shale = not true. Believe that has to do with trying to play on an old map.

testing the ore tonight.

[sdbaynham 57]

And for the record, there have always been some odd terrain transitions- I know when Holy & I were searching for gabbro on Oddworld, I found more than a few places where chunks alternated between two biomes or something weird like that.

[redundantusage 330]

Honestly, I posted both the bugs about the odd terrain, and they weren't game breaking or common, I just noted them so he could rectify it if needed. Even with those things I found, the terrain still looked much nicer than before. The Sequoia woods were genuinely pretty, and the patches of woods rather than straight plains or woods seriously looks legit. Also, the sequoia crash was posted by me as well, it happened twice out of about 30 sequoia chopdowns, couldn't find the factor that caused it, but the game crashes and you can load the world right back up, only the top half of the tree is missing but all the logs are accounted for and you can still cut down the bottom half as normal.

[kelik 10]

is there something wrong with the server? i see 0 players connected and i can't connect.

[sdbaynham 57]

Auth servers appear to be having issues: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1472558-minecraft-servers-are-down/

The error I'm getting is response 503 for the session url of minecraft.net

[sdbaynham 57]

Oh hey, back up.

[kelik 10]

Oh hey, back up.

nope, im getting 503 after trying to log in after death.

[sdbaynham 57]

Well that sucks, but everything I'm seeing the raisercraft thread and other spots is that this is a minecraft central server issue.

[Holy_Shield 17]

Couple of links to check on login service issues.

[redundantusage 330]

So how long till we upgrade to the 49's? Looking forward to playing again

[sdbaynham 57]

I've got some errands to run today, but I'm going to be looking at getting it done tonight. I'm probably gonna be putting all the pictures & poll up right before I switch over the server.

[Holy_Shield 17]

oh well, i am around tonight if u need someone to test. on skype.

[Kurtlemop 0]

Well, it looks like someone griefed and looted our town, I don't know if this was a malicious act, or just someone throwing an "end of server" party with our stuff. I don't really mind, considering we are getting wiped, but i would like to know who did it incase some issues come up on the new server. So Slink, please check it out tonight before wiping us!

[Holy_Shield 17]

oh slink will figure it out and ban them i am sure.
