[Server] Just Test Tribute

[sorcerykid]

Generally speaking, anarchy servers always have some basic rules. For players seeking complete freedom without protection, however, I would recommend a chaos server, as those have no rules and no admin.

I will come back and work on the shop. IDK when. Hopefully soon.

Not to worry, I wasn't referencing any of the land that you own. I know you are busy :)

[Beast24]

so the land surrounded by yellow wool is open for players to take and fix up or build there

[twoelk]

so much planed, so little time ...
so maybe I should spend more time at spawn again ;-P
never really could decide how to expand my old house there.
actually the ground floor is still very much the same as the original building,
one can still see the eaves of the old roof. Probably one of the first saddle roofs on the server :-D

the little time I had to play I usually spent away from spawn - guess I need to expand my farming now
I seem to have missed the coming of the "round" TNT. I think the holes they create look much better.
wonder what I shall do with my tunnel hub at -500 now. seems somebody blasted out the central part.
guess my architectural concept down there needs some replaning now :-D

[BBmine]

After seeing that map up there, I realized I was just barely inside spawn. Some of my builds were made of cobble <:( I was tearing down my roofs and walls to remodel my house until I decided to just move and build a nicer house. I thought I would build myself an ok house, but now jeilui owns a huge area where she, Fernanda, and I are building a big, beautiful house. :-D

Looking at the map, I think I'm outside of spawn now. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. :P

[Beast24]

Can someone post a current maps pls

[BBmine]

Can someone post a current maps pls

She did.

We need rnd to build something nice :} in his spot

I think so too. He's got a strange looking hole there :P I haven't seen him on the server in a while though. I hope he decides to start playing again.

[ABJ]

That rnd? The guy with the super-hard server? AhafassagasgaahebewhhHhHAHahahahahahahaeaedgewvbha I stIill laugh when I remember how hard it was.

He led me down his strange looking hole a while back, and it's actually his mines, but it's more of a trap now :) I actually think that area looks ugly. Maybe he could build a big shop (or sell the land XD).

Alright, next time I see rnd online, I will talk to him about his hole. Er, wait that doesn't sound right at all >.< lol

What's up with that image macro?

[BBmine]

Ha!! We're obsessed with that picture XD (BTW, I'm laughing really hard right now)

BTW, I think I'm going to make a texture pack with that XD

[ABJ]

Just do it!

[Beast24]

BBmine i cant see it for some reason

[BBmine]

Can't see what? The picture?

I just finished work on a log analyzer script that makes it possible to monitor suspicious activity on the server. It is primarily concerned with excessive mining and building, but also tracks unusual player movement. For most users, this is not a concern. But for those intent on disrupting gameplay, expect less than pleasant consequences for violating the posted server rules.

I've already had to suspend the accounts of justin and TakeThat for abuse. Let's work together to keep JT2 an enjoyable environment for all of our users. If you witness cheating, griefing, or hacking, please report it to me in PM. Thanks.

Sounds good! One question. If I'm building a huge house and doing a TON of mining to get that house, will I be taken to the city jail?

BTW ABJ, I made a texture pack and I'm using it with that kamakaze picture XD. I want to add color later for different wools XD.

Ok, while trying to build a garden, I noticed a shadow over part of it. I looked up and saw a floating building, so I decided to inspect it. I built noob towers to get up there, and here are the screenies I took:


Why do the pro blocks say abba, but when I hit my pro block, it says Nemo?


Why does Dylan have a door there when he's not listed as a member there? Dan has a door too.


Those chests on the top are Dan's and Dylan's.


This building is floating, and violating the "No building over other people's property" rule.

This needs to be looked into. It could be a hacker, but I think it also might be a bug.

[sorcerykid]

Baggins, I moved that building there temporarily until I can find a suitable location. It is on the west side of Sangamon Avenue behind the police station, so there is no way it should be casting any shadows over your property which is on the east side of Sangamon Ave across from micah's house.

Actually, it's casting a shadow over my garden that I built behind the police station. And sorry, didn't know it was you.

BTW, after restart, the server is unplayable <:'( I join, can talk, but when I try digging my wheat, nothing happens. When I tried to collect fallen bones, clicking was unresponsive. Also, I can't open bones, and the only part of the map that loads is the part I spawned at. I hope this gets fixed.

EDIT: Thanks to IMS_BULLDOGS (I think), I was able to fix it with a simple /kill! YAY!! I had died right when the server shut down.

[ABJ]

BB please show us your texture pack.

[BBmine]

BB please show us your texture pack.

I would, but is that picture copyright? But if it's not, I'll upload it XD

[ABJ]

Although I have no idea why a Second World War pic would have copyright, I'll check.

Edit: I couldn't find any yes or nos. In the meanwhile, check this out :-)

[BBmine]

Me and Beast24 went on a good long TNT blasting session. I found some mese blocks and diamond!!! Sadly, no nyans came out of hiding.

ABJ, I'll think about adding that pic to my texture pack. Maybe that should be for stone. What should the other pic be?

Maybe I should make a topic instead of spamming this topic.

As most of you know, a few weeks ago I completely revamped TNT as a lightweight alternative to the default mod. This was intended improve performance server-side, but also to make mining more challenging,

Perhaps the most visible change is the shape of the blast, which is now spherical including a roughness factor for added realism.



The blast size is also logarithmic, rather than linear. The new algorithm accounts for a variety of environmental conditions, such as water and air resistance, as well as the quantity and arrangement of TNT. For this reason, a larger charge will no longer produce a proportionately larger explosion. In fact, it will result in ever diminishing returns. Once you surpass the "sweet spot", excess TNT will be wasted and random stacks of items will be destroyed rather than dropped. And while there are no limitations imposed on the use of TNT below -250 meters, there is a maximum achievable blast radius. For example, two detonations of 50 TNT are likely to yield a greater output than 100 TNT.

It is now up to you, as a mining expert, to learn these nuances and to adapt accordingly. Good luck!

I actually think that the tnt hole looks nice on the minimap.

Why is the server down? I randomly timed out and now I can't get back in.
