[Server] Not So Simple Server

by taikedz » Wed Aug 31, 2016 16:30

PRESENTING - the Not So Simple Server !

A server focused on bringing you the Not So Simple Mobs online experience!

    * Server: play.ducakedhare.co.uk
    * port: 30001
    * IRC: #vivarium

You can also join the chat without joining the game at webchat.freenode.net / channel #vivarium

RULES

    * get your own stuff. no begging. Ask once if you want. But no pestering people for stuff. You can always offer to trade.
    * no griefing. You didn't build it, you don't touch it.
    * do NOT obstruct travelnets and elevators, EVEN IF unprotected. This is also griefing and admin WILL take immediate corrective measures. If you did not place the transport, do NOT build obstructions around it, protection or not. First offense you will be kicked. Second offense you will be banned.
    * No asking for age / sex / town location ; no dating.

Not So Simple Mobs adds hordes of vicious mobs that will hunt you down. Your goal: defeat them, harvest their corpses to make stronger weapons, and craft the Final Boss's egg - the Mese Dragon!

Are you up to the task? See what one player had to say:

+ Chat log excerpt


I do sympathize. Just after I had finally made a full set of bronze armor, I was taken down by an ice mob. Which destroyed my bones instantly. All my precious resources. Gone. Conclusion:

THIS SERVER IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED. Build if you want, but this is not a builder's server. We're here to fight the hordes of doom.

And don't try playing on a mobile device. For your own sake.

+ Mods



And two DCH Vivarium specials:

    * Vivarium/Petting -- capture any mob, and spawn it back in as a friendly
    * Vivarium/overrides -- eat life energy to get temporary speed and jump boosts - evade your enemies

Good luck.

I captured a Nightmaster.

Will be very useful for protecting me at long ranges :)

The map has been re-loaded.

I'm working on a restart-and-backup routine that can run unattended.

Until then, intense griefing is liable to cause a world re-set.

worldmap

To date it looks like people have not really been bothered exploring...

It's as if they were too scared or something.... ;-)

Hah! I had forgotten I have been meaning to add this.... Will do soon!

I did have to add a fire extinguisher otherwise Phoenix destroys any forest the players visit often :-/ https://github.com/taikedz/vivarium/blo ... f/init.lua

Not so simple to start :)

Map resets may still happen ? I'd like to try building among mobs :)

I am still trying to figure out the regular backups but map resets should only happen in dire circumstances...

Added ;-)

I guess this adds to some map gen, so will mean it will be only active in newly generated areas? Luckily then, not much map has been generated yet :-P

Unfortunately it will be active only in newly generated areas...
For the Phoenix I think that we will add a special fire that disappear sooner than default fire...

Hi people,
I have walked over 1/4 of the map (0,-200 to 0,15000), followed rivers and coastlines, but can NOT find any papyrus!
Are there any?
If there are, they are extremely rare!

Yes, LOL, I need paper for name tag for mob tamer.
I will keep looking for the papyrus.
Papyrus still spawns at water on grass right?

OK..
I found the papyrus..it looks like it spawns out in the water not just on the shore.

NEXT..
What do the floor, stack, and send staves do and how do you use them?

Ah. Dangit. Staves are not meant to be available to players on this server... I use them for managing the server and fixing things....

Except maybe the Sender staff which sends mobs out of range for a few seconds so you can try to make a get away....

Staff recipes have been turned off, except for Staff of Melting (which is still being worked on) and Sender Staff (which is ready for use).

I think I found the Dungeon Master:

Flame wake. (Trailing lava)
Lava spikes. (Four columns around you when cast)
Destroys nodes in path.
Diamond sword has very little, if no damage.

LAG:
Eating did not compile before death.
When the spawn request appeared, the chat showed I was killed four times.(Kind of like dying in lava with lag)

Ouch. That would be the Lava Titan.

You should check the NSSM swords... weaponry is a waste of metals on this server ;-)

Noted about lag. Will see what I can do to improve that, but performance is generally good so far.... note the server is based in the UK if that could explain anything....?

Lava Titan is very challenging. That's interresting.

But I found too many of them.

I don't know if it's possible but it would be great to have harder mobs the deeper you are or the farther you are from spawn.

Lava Titan is indeed challenging... interesting that you found too many of them though... I suspect that's down at the Deep Colony?

It seems that when anyone explores and finds a Lava Titan, they just run away to the different part of the cave. Any previously active Lava Titan will thus hang around. Systematically running away will thus cause Lava Titans to multiply rapidly..... either you have to fight them, or you need to hang around near them until they despawn (their life timer is only active when they are close to a player)

Hint: using a protection block will null some of their abilities....

Hmm.. Good information :)

It wasn't near deep colony. At least I dont think so. I dug a hole near spawn and got around -400, had one or two of them in an unexplored cave... and ran away :) I tried something with water, but died to many times.
