Xanadu Server

[firefox]

the best way to react to this is to use the Ninja Art of Drama.
i recently invented it when i was flooded with questions about the location of Hell's Gate.

if i meet you sometime, i will show it to you.
it's a difficult ninja art because it requires you to combine multiple ninja arts in quick succession.

Thanks firefox =-)

I don't have privs again, I just said 'check my ip' when shinji_ikari was online, to show him/her that I was dudegamer and wasn't going to freak out again.
I understand why I was privs 'banned' when I was fighting and putting down moderators before, but now? I was just building, said 'check my ip' to shinji, and went AFK for a second. What the crap?

EDIT: Kicked without reason...

[programmingchicken]

I don't expect anything to happen, as Shinji is apparently your best admin, and may or may not be now hosting the server. I might as well not rejoin the server again.

the 4th flood:

screenshot_20151125_103417.png (559.46 KiB) Viewed 3807 times

this time it took me 72 minutes to clear it.
it killed 3 more cats.
it caused a server crash.
after the crash, the water was flowing in the air and re-flooded all previously cleaned areas.
a clearly visible part of the glacier is missing.

the same suspects as last time were lingering around the area, doing nothing.
one of them attacked (and almost killed) me while i was cleaning up.
so i grabbed my ninja sword and got sweet revenge before before cleaning.

most of the dropped items were lost because someone else took them.
this caused another drama and whoever held the title of "saddest player on the server" before,
you just lost it to the newest "saddest player on the server".

PChicken: it's usually best not to remind the server owner WHY they banned you in the first place then ask to check ip to confirm it... Good news is that each ip has 3 chances of playing on server so dudegamer and pchicken are limited already, but you have 1 more nick you can use to play :)

[Merurino]

However, Shinji was telling yesterday that each character takes HD space and as far as he knows he can't delete old chars. So to others, is best to refrain from creating more than 1 character.

About Firefox situation, shouldn't these players have their privs removed?

I don't know how privs work, but would be funny to remove all the privs to put any item that produces light / heat, to see they trying to play in the darkness =-P

[TenPlus1]

Once a player has broken the rules and have been limited (all privelages removed), they can no longer build, dig or talk on server meaning they cannot do anything but observe until their hunger/health is depleted. Having 3 accounts is generally for families playing on server but acts as a 3-chance system as well.

I know that they did it the first time, but they didn't know that this would happen. (But they just left afterwards!)
I recorded the first situation, but i don't have valid proof that the attempted to do it again (unless the chat-log still exists).

I can't prove that they did it the second time, but they were nearby which is why I suspect them.
One of them attacked me (I don't believe that people walk around with diamond swords and accidentally hit others), but I killed him, so that matter is solved. It's not my fault that he lost the copper from his inventory (He had a diamond sword and crystal boots, by the time you get those items you know how to use bags.).

I shared everything with bonny and she has cast here Demon Gaze on Cornercopia, so we will know exactly what's going on next time it happens. Also I will kill anyone who goes near that Glacier.

firefox, killing "anyone" that is near any point, it's not fair, don't do that

[twoelk]

lol
life can be dangerouse for the casual tourist on this server
let alone the adventurous explorer
(for many reasons)

indeed one of the reasons for me not getting anything done on this server is that I wander about and keep loosing stuff (too lazy to sort the inventory) because my avatar keeps starving when I go afk to make a coffee or so

[programmingchicken]

Meh, I think I prefer singleplayer now

[Texan]

Is the server down?
I cannot access it at the moment; it does not appear on my Public Serverlist.
If so, why?


On other matters:
Firefox, I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having. If there is any way that I can help, please tell me. :)

i have no idea why its down, it suddenly crashed around 1 hour ago and didnt come back since then

[Josh-Hall]

Hello all. Any more information on why the server is down?
Thanks

Maybe a modem crash ...
My W-Lan spontaneously disintegrates because of interferences from a nearby construction site.

killing "anyone" that is near any point, it's not fair, don't do that

It's the wilderness and PvP is on, I can attack whenever I like.
But I agree that it sounds too aggressive, so let me say it this way:
"The next time I see someone watering the flowers on the glacier, I will give them a very friendly bear hug."

because my avatar keeps starving when I go afk to make a coffee or so

The hunger system was changed to be action-based. You shouldn't starve when you do nothing.
(Unless you harvest and roast the coffee beans yourself.)

If there is any way that I can help, please tell me. :)

I thought about covering the mountain in protectors, but I don't want to appear selfish ...
Maybe we can restore the damage, make it part of the road system and build a little tourist shop on top or something like that.

Don't spill it on your Bodhi. lol

I think that's a great idea; I'll get on that as soon as possible.

The server is back and running guys. Shinji said it the server stalled.

Firefox, can you give me tips on how to do damage control around water?

I have a "farm" pretty high in the sky. However, my friend was playing around with water and some dropped from the ground. Now there's a massive waterfall, we tried to go down there (by using a parachute and adding a line of dirt down in order to try to reach the end of the accidental waterfall) but as far as we build the "down" ladder, the lower the water gets and more it spreads. We're still far away from the ground but I can't imagine the size of this when and if it gets there. Luckily there's no city around our farm. We tried buckets but they don't work. In this situation where everything on that block of "sky" bellow our farm should be destroyed can a admin help or we're on our own?

Now I'm starting to get why it took you so long to fix the floods! Because apparently even if you take out the source of water in some cases it keeps flowing down. I'm so mad and disappointed that I can't fix this on my own. Since we're slightly above 1000 nodes high, the water is never reaching the ground, but it is around 100 nodes high already =\

Edit: I have a suggestion, it would be interesting to have an item that evaporates the water in a 6x6 square (or even more than 1 item, each having from 3x3 to 6x6 range) if there's no protection around for example. Just evaporates the water, doesn't melt the snow or removes anything else. This tool could be crafted in order to contain these situations, I believe this would make Firefox life waaaay much easier. If I had a tool like this and the priv to fly for 30 minutes around my farm I believe I would fix this situation easily.

Firefox, can you give me tips on how to do damage control around water?

I made the mistake of using a column of water to drop down to my early mine, 2000 blocks deep. Took forever to remove it...

Nerd pole from the ground up to the water, directly below it but one block over (not diagonal). Once you reach the water you can slowly remove the nerd pole as you follow the water flow. Sometimes the water requires a block update and having the nerd pole next to it makes this easy.

[firefox]

the only way to remove flowing water is to wait for it to flow away.
of course it will be stuck in the air and other places when it gets massive, sou you have to place any block or item next to it or in it's place to remove it.

in your case, you would have to swim inside the waterfall until it reaches the ground, then surround it to stop further spreading and start to remove it from the top to bottom.
the problem is that you can't build in the air and using 200 or higher towers will take a very long time just to remove 1 water tile of many.
i guess the best way is to stay away from the water to prevent it from spreading further and ask Ten to use worldedit to remove it.

[noob101]

If the spill is too massive (or high up, in your case), I second firefoxes suggestion. Otherwise do like minetestjosh did, two pages earlier: Build a platform that catches all well below the water level, then pile up from it to make the water fall.

Good luck, noob101

The Burning Lands have burned out

Ever since the Cursed Mountains appeared, this land was dead.
And now I am leaving too.


I moved my storage to Gaia Tower and also removed all my traces from Utgard.
Eventually i will start a new Utgard Project somewhere else (with a teleport potion), but I want to have at least 2 interested co-workers for this.
For now I have set my sight on a certain ninja project.

R.I.P Burning Lands and Mr.FluffyPaws =(-.-)=

(Mr.FluffyPaws was one of the first cats on the server. He died under the Cursed Mountains ...)

[Merurino]

Thanks for the tips around my water issue. Considering the place, maybe worldedit would be the best solution indeed.

Sad to see you're giving up on burning lands.

Edit:
Firefox, I went to the glacier to check the damage you told us happened there. I could see that there's still a ton of water by the side of the ice but this water is not flowing down anymore. How has it stop flowing down? Is this maybe a bug and if someone gets really near it it starts to flow again?

If this behavior is not expected I believe we're going to see another flood as soon as this water goes back to flow.

[Bonny]

Just finished cleaning another cornecopia water grief

[Merurino]

Bonny, that's was exactly what I asked about the "floating" water, apparently it flowed down, however, the side I saw the water is the side there the ninja road is, I didn't even know about this other side.

I think considering all the trouble everyone is having to try to fix this, maybe my evaporator idea (a few replys ago) is not such a bad idea anymore. I have no idea about how easy would be to program such device though.

Mer, I forgot to mention that I second this idea!
As a little help, unless you know already: On other servers there are sponges available, normal ones for water and metal sponges for lava even! I have no clue what mod that's a part of, and since that server is pretty much dead I guess I won't be able to find out any more either. But maybe the idea helps.

However, thank you all involved for your tireless work to keep it nice and dry in there! Cheers, noob101
