DarkLadyPhoenix is putting together some kind of pretty multi-tiered tree-farm.

Fifleche found MOOSHROOMS!

Faqir has been working on his house:

It now harbors a terrible secret....

AND HOLY CRAP A RESTAURANT!

Bartender Faqir is ready to take your drink order:

This aquarium sets the mood:

The kegs and fridge:

Relax in your booth:

Come back soon!

Serenvio and adamh1995 are starting to build out the area around their house:

The mine:

[sdbaynham 57]

We're doing an update in 2 hours- on the menu tonight is some badly-needed improvements to ThiefTaker's admin user interface, some minor ThiefTaker DB access and creeper nerf optimizations, some background schema & sqlite library updates that are required to increase the amount of stuff we log to ThiefTaker, some experimental thread priority modifications to try to give the God Thread more time to work, and a couple minor TFC Heat optimizations. I'll be around afterward if anything terrible happens.

[Holy_Shield 17]

Uh oh what happened did a creeper blow up the server?

[adamh1995 1]

Glad I'm not the only one who can't connect..

[sdbaynham 57]

Weird stuff guys- the server said you were all logged in and I could talk in the console. Thought you were just being real quiet...

EDIT: Looks like we ran out of heap space, which explains the crazy lag spikes you were getting, as the server tried frantically to GC anything it could find. We only had 9 players online and blew through 1.6Gb (vanilla uses around 80Mb per player), so you if you have any idea of something you were up to which may have caused a memory leak, lemme know.

[DarkLadyPhoenix 62]

Holy and I were panning at the same time a few minutes ago? I honestly haven't the slightest idea what might and what might not cause lag.

[sdbaynham 57]

Okay, yeah, that time 6 of you blew through our heap in about an hour. The server has restarted again.

In case anyone was wondering about the current state of Cedar Hills, my town, here's a screenshot I took with this cool beauty effects mod. It's not much right now, but we're still building. Don't be too harsh, please, we don't have many resources, and building can be quite difficult for us. Here goes:

Holy Shit... That's amazing...

That's so weird, because I got a mod that rendered the town like this:

Nice job on the rail, by the way.

BUILD 48 IS OUT!!!

Here's what's on the menu:

1. TONIGHT I will be taking pictures of the best builds on the server and putting up a poll. Vote for the best build of DHB1!!!

2. TONIGHT I will begin the process of updating our server's mods to b48. Expect this to take about a day.

3. SOME TIME THIS WEEK we will be doing an update to the latest b48 version. This could be as early as 48 hours from now, if there is no b48a.

4. WHEN WE UPDATE, we will be doing a map reset. All the oldbies hate this seed for garnierite-related reasons, and I want deer!

5. THE WINNER OF THE POLL will get the opportunity (if they wish) to design the spawn building for DHB2 and make it in creative mode.

6. WHEN WE RESET THE MAP, I will post a download link to the current one if you like your current shit and wanna play it out in SSP.

WE WILL BE UPGRADING AS QUICKLY AS IS REASONABLE. I don't want to move over to the new version before the alphabet soup updates play out, though, and I want to give people the opportunity to vote before we move over.

THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERATION!

[DarkLadyPhoenix 62]

DEEEEEERRRR! And hopefully better spawns of stone and metals. WinWin. Boo for having to start over though x.x

[Joey 59]

Holy Shit... That's amazing...

I didn't think it was that bad... you didn't have to call it shit

HERE IS THE FIRST REVISION OF THE SHOWCASE: http://dighissboom.minecraft.ms:8080/Public/DHB1Showcase.html

If I've misattributed a build, or failed to include your build, or included your build but didn't do a very good job/include enough/high enough quality screenshots, please correct me! I'll start the voting tomorrow if no one has anything to add!

HERE IS FINAL SHOWCASE AND POLL VOTE FOR WINNER: http://terrafirmacraft.com/f/topic/1578-dhb-map-1-showcase-vote/

Depending on how long this map lasts, would you be willing to offer a few rocks at the spawn after the first surge of players joins? My friends and I, as new players, had to travel quite far to settle due to there being no stones on the ground. I know it's part of the TFC experience, but it spreads us players far and thin.

tl;dr After the region near the spawn starts to become empty of stones, add a chest for newbs to get rocks, or replace rocks on the ground in creative or something.

[sdbaynham 57]

There should be some rock respawning anyway and I could look into upping that rate a bit, but due to the increased importance of meat in this latest update you guys might find yourself having to settle quite far from spawn anyway, to get enough food to live.

I updated to Beta 2 48, & all the animals are BABIES! sooo cute! & I can jump fine. I saved the Jar file for Beta 47, in case I need it.

[sdbaynham 57]

Hey everyone! I've fixed the baby animal & farming world corruption issue on my machine. If I can get the hostile mobs spawning again, I'll start trying to get a build pushed tonight or tomorrow at lunchtime. A few caveats:

1) Animals will still LOOK like babies until you get a client patch. Dunkle implied in another thread that he had passed the fixes to bioxx already so this will probably be a non-issue. The animals will drop all their goodies even without a client fix, though.

2) The client mod to fix the ban crash will NOT work in 48b, and will itself crash your client, so don't try to use it. I'll get a 48b-specific version assembled very shortly, but I'm trying to get the server up first. Sometime tomorrow evening most likely.

[sdbaynham 57]

I've fixed the mob spawning issue. I'm going to build a jar & check for all green locally but the new map is starting tonight.

[sdbaynham 57]

Build is looking good, we're ready to go, just gotta download the old world.

[sdbaynham 57]

And we're up! DHB2 is now live, I'm in-game setting up our temporary spawn shack until our apparent DHB1 winner, DarkLadyPhoenix, can set up the permanent one. Upgrade to 48b and come play!

[sdbaynham 57]

Spawn shack is all set up and I am crashing into bed- post about any problems here!

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to put in smartmoving. Fixed!
