It's much easier to construct than an XNOR and it's just as reliable. Probably faster, too.

izakthegoomba · Wed Mar 14, 2012 12:01 pm

I think I'll go for an XNOR after all... cumbersome as it is to use, I don't feel like changing the others to T Flip-flops just to have them match up.

No, we can't. The world now contains Iron Golems, Jungle Wood, Jungle Leaves, Ocelots, Redstone Lamps, Circle Stone Bricks, Fire Charges, and so on. Downgrading would crash the server every time we tried to use it, just like if you do a shoddy job of uninstalling a mod.

Yeah, that would be a problem...

A T Flip-flop is a circuit with a single input, which toggles the output when one of them is powered. You can split that between two non-switch inputs, so that pressing either button/pad will toggle the state of the output, opening or closing the door.

This is why Minecraft needs an Iron Pressure Plate, only activated by players.

I'm thinking of running a hardcore PvP game on a seperate server some time, if there's enough interest? A limited world size, health made tough to regain, and stuff.

The only thing is, with Windows and the Java VM, I don't think I'd have the power to host it locally. Does anyone know of a host you can book for just a few days?

izakthegoomba · Sun Mar 25, 2012 11:33 am

I can run the server.exe and play on it myself just fine, but I've never tried having many people online. Windows eats over 2 gigs, Minecraft about 1, and graphics generally eats the rest, so though I could spare 512 Mb if I had to, it would be too laggy to enjoy.

Considering you can get a daddycheese server from a few quid a month, I don't think it'll be that expensive to do. I'd want some time to set up a world, anyway.

izakthegoomba · Post Post #2294 (isolation #88) » Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:15 am

Thanks Claus!!!

In other news, I think I know how I could organise a PvP survival thingy. We could use the xxxHardcorexxx Mod to prevent easy health recovery. It also makes Glistering Melons and Golden Apples harder to craft, and makes Ghasts drop gold instead of tears. It also lets you view everyone's health by pressing tab.

Then I could use Borderguard or something similar to limit the world size to, say, 1000x1000.

With GroupBasedPVP, we could have five minutes or so to get away from everyone else, and then switch to regular gameplay.

After death, perhaps use Spectate to watch the game unfold? No chatting allowed, of course!

izakthegoomba · Post Post #2298 (isolation #89) » Mon Mar 26, 2012 6:18 am

Does daddycheese (or any other reasonably-priced minecraft host) let you access server files directly? If so, we could probably do this.

The border could be a problem, but I suppose I could get MCedit and stick bedrock walls around the edges or something.

@Xalxe yeah, but that's as simple as digging straight down to bedrock and typing "//pos1", then flying to the next corner. Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like that idea. Also, if it's not too complicated to explain, what are you thinking of doing for the randomization?

@Rhinox yeah, but there's not much point in doing that.

izakthegoomba · Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:03 am

Right, I just don't know how I'd go about making the player files. So once I can get hosting sorted out, could I make the map and send it to you so you can create the files, then you can send it to someone else to assign names to them, who can send the finished world back to me to put in the server?

And WorldEdit is a command-based mod. For most of the tools, you use "//pos1" and "//pos2" (or left and right click with a wooden axe) to select an area, then use various commands to alter the blocks there. So to change everything selected to bedrock, I'd use "//set 7" - the set command changes all the selected blocks, and 7 is Bedrock's data value.

Let's split it down the middle? I'll take the whole Skytown side, you can have the Vanilla Town side.

izakthegoomba · Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:01 pm

(and I'll make us a portal somewhere in the middle when I have time)

izakthegoomba · Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:22 pm

No, I'd rather split it with a line seperating the Vanilla Town/Skytown sides.

izakthegoomba · Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:47 pm

So do I. Give me a minute and I'll draw a line myself.

izakthegoomba · Mon Mar 26, 2012 9:54 pm

Left is my side. We both get some interesting land, and you get the bulk of the area.

izakthegoomba · Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:48 am

Ok everyone, the barn is obviously not working. I've sorted it all out several times now, and they always escape. We need to find an alternative.

I suggest we take it down, and start several new animal pens, in the style of the Sheep pen Claus has - shallow, open-topped pits in the ground with hatches as an animal-proof entrance.

izakthegoomba · Tue Mar 27, 2012 4:32 am

@Maru I could do it in sections or something, then. Or even make the world in single player, put the borders in, then make it a multiplayer one.

And if it was elsewhere I'd be happy to do that, but it's a BIG building in town. It's too much space to go to waste.

izakthegoomba · Tue Mar 27, 2012 6:35 am

I'd rather have them open-aired and in town. We have the space. I'll even make them look pretty if you ask me nicely.

izakthegoomba · Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:29 pm

Didn't we do that once before, and it was INSANELY huge?

izakthegoomba · Tue Mar 27, 2012 10:55 pm

Space huge. Though probably both.

izakthegoomba · Wed Mar 28, 2012 4:02 am

Are YOU fed up with the perfect safety of town? Getting bored with the lousey, wimpy mobs? Feelin' the need for some BLOOD?

Wait no longer! MafiaScum Ultra Hardcore is here!

MafiaScum Ultra Hardcore (inspired by these am az in g y ou tu be rs) is an all-out, no holds barred survival contest. Everyone will spawn in a random area of a 1000x1000 map, and will have to fight against both monsters and scummers to survive. PvP, stealing, and griefing are encouraged, and the last scummer standing will be victorious.

But that would be too easy, right? So the XXXHARDCOREXXX Mod will be keeping things interesting for us. One does not simply

recover

health - the hunger bar will only keep you from starving. Golden Apples take Gold Ingots to craft, instead of Nuggets. A Glistering Melon requires a Gold

Block

. Ghast tears don't exist - Ghasts drop Gold instead. And best of all - you can see everyone's health by pressing tab!

Currently, we're planning this for about 6 or 7 PM GMT on 7th April 2012. The times may change by a little bit, but not much. Remember to account for DST if you're using it!

Rules:

1. Install the XXXHARDCOREXXX Mod. You won't be able to connect without it.
2. No alliances. You don't have to hunt someone down and kill them just because you glimpsed their name through a block, but you should be actively opposed to EVERYONE.
3. No strip mining. You can dig, but don't make tunnels just to find valuables. Your mining must be done in caves.
4. No mods that effect gameplay. Things like OptiFine and InvTweaks are ok, but any Minimap, XRay mod, Flying mod, etc., is forbidden.
5. No disconnecting. If you

really

need that drink/toilet break/whatever, you can put yourself into a small space and go AFK, but don't expect any bonuses for the lost time. If it goes on for more than three hours and somebody really can't stay online, we may suspend it and continue a week or two later.

There will be 12 spaces.

If you use other mods, just back up your minecraft.jar before you install it. If not, just delete minecraft.jar when we're done, and Minecraft will retrieve a vanilla one.

ok, I think. I don't use any mods. Do I need to do anything special to access the files in the minecraft.jar? I thought it was just a single file?

You'll need something to open it with, like winRAR (just get the free trial, it doesn't really expire). Also you may need to install ModLoader.

The sheep are roaming free for now, DO NOT KILL THEM.

...it took you ten hits to kill a sheep WITH A SWORD?

izakthegoomba · Thu Mar 29, 2012 9:45 am

So far for MSUH we have:

izak and scroo - yes
Xalxe - yes
Rhinox - probably
plague - maybe
Chess and Tofu - yes

We've passed 6, so we'll have 12 slots maximum.

izakthegoomba · Thu Mar 29, 2012 10:49 am

izakthegoomba · Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:18 pm

Plague, we'll be playing on a new server. A 1000x1000 world. I'll be PM'ing you all with the address and stuff closer to the time.

Also, I was testing the setup (not in the real map, a substitute with similar boundaries), and there may be a small problem. If you go to the nether at any point (whhhhhhhyyyy?), please use the same portal to come back. There's a chance using a new portal could take you outside our world boundaries.

I know, but it's a really high-risk venture. To get brewing, you'd have to find some nether wart, AND kill some Blazes. And get back alive. Plus, the nether is limited in size too.

I'll send it to you in the morning, it's half 1 over here.

In other news, I've set up the server, so now I just need to wait for them to tell me how the hell I upload a custom jar.

Yeah, I have, I'm just waiting.

izakthegoomba · Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:31 am

We have Mooshrooms! Don't shear them. Also FFS don't kill one of the last two or I will HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU AND DANCE ON YOUR GRAVE.

Also I'm recolouring the sheep, so we should have one of each colour. Then, so long as people shear them and don't kill them, we'll have infinite wool in every colour.

izakthegoomba · Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:37 am

Wow. Just heard the 1.2.5 snapshot is available. Looks like the bukkit guys have fixed more stuff in a few weeks than Mojang have in a couple of years.

izakthegoomba · Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:52 am

I'll be really pissed off if I've just torn down the barn, a couple of weeks before they fix the problem it had.

izakthegoomba · Fri Mar 30, 2012 5:05 am

Ok, the sheep are done. We have exactly one of each colour. If you accidentally kill one, please tell me about it so I can make us another one.

I'm online, fool.

Also I just realised, I need Minecraft usernames for Rhinox, T-Bone, and Chevre for MSUH. I know roughly but there's spelling and stuff...

I'd be inclined to stick with 1.2.4 for MSUH.

izakthegoomba · Fri Mar 30, 2012 7:33 pm

It's Chesskid's. He says it's ungriefable, but it just has a bit of lava inside...

Also where should we be on the server?

izakthegoomba · Sat Mar 31, 2012 4:18 am

I found a wierd glitch today...

Spoiler:

izakthegoomba · Sat Mar 31, 2012 4:32 am

Nope. The lava is at the limit, but the water would normally flow for eight blocks. Plus, even if that was the limit, the last line of water should have turned to cobble.

izakthegoomba · Sat Mar 31, 2012 4:53 am

Ok, just because I didn't really confirm this:

MafiaScum Ultra Hardcore will be starting at 6PM GMT (7PM BST) on Saturday 7th April.

If you're in Britain, that's 7PM. If you're in East America, it's 2PM (unless you're one of the few places that doesn't observe DST, in which case it's 1PM). If you live elsewhere, start with 6PM GMT and work it out from there. And remember the DST if you use it.

Dammit, why can't the whole world just run on GMT?

Also I had an idea for an on-server competition that wouldn't need to be run in real-time (it could go over a week or something), but I'll have to talk to Claus about it.

izakthegoomba · Sun Apr 01, 2012 2:05 am

Will you have one by next weekend?

izakthegoomba · Sun Apr 01, 2012 4:31 am

What's wrong with /kill?

Also I could have won by a really long way instead of a few seconds if I'd though about it. There was plenty of wood in the NPC village. I could have made a double chest, emptied my inventory into it, used /kill, and popped up at the spawn.

izakthegoomba · Sun Apr 01, 2012 8:41 am

Or, people could just use my blaze farm, which gives out double the XP...

izakthegoomba · Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:24 am

There's a skellie spawner

in

town. If we really want it, I could hook up a fancy piston device that allows it to switch between a slow EXP farm, and a much faster item-only farm.

izakthegoomba · Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:37 am

Yeah, but that's just because the one in town is a really inefficient design. I'm going to fix it some time.

Why would you want a cave spider farm?!?!?

izakthegoomba · Mon Apr 02, 2012 6:57 am

I've made us public melon, pumpkin, sugar cane, and cactus farms. Not as big as the wheat and tree ones because they're more important, but big enough to use.

izakthegoomba · Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:05 am

If you're online and nearby.

izakthegoomba · Mon Apr 02, 2012 7:33 pm

When you say capture the flag, are you reffering to a Super Hostile-type thing, or a general open-space arena?

izakthegoomba · Mon Apr 02, 2012 11:58 pm

If you do limit how long we can be inactive for, can you at least tell us how long so I can kill the blazes that have been spawning instead of wasting them?

izakthegoomba · Tue Apr 03, 2012 6:19 am

The MafiaScum server is the one in the OP, and this thread is just about that. Maruchan has his own server, which isn't just for MS people, but he lets us on. I also have a server now, but it's for individual events, not a general world.

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 2:39 am

Guys, you're not going to believe this...

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 2:53 am

The spleef arena...

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 3:01 am

I blew it up 67 times... then cleared up the rest of the blocks... then lit up the floor... put a dirt platform in... and added some chests to keep people's items safe.

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 3:09 am

I just counted the TNT... I had a stack, and three more.

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 3:22 am

No, I haven't been in the nether today. In hindsight, maybe I should have been...

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:50 am

The speed at which mods are being updated suggests 1.2.5 won't be a problem for MafiaScum Ultra Hardcore, so unless anyone has any objections, we'll use 1.2.5?

izakthegoomba · Wed Apr 04, 2012 12:02 pm

We could coat the bottom in Obsidian and remove the torches, and make it a mob battle arena. But the problem is, we want to be able to retrieve the dirt and put it back after a spleef game.

I think I'll make a PvP arena at some point, though.

That would be fun. But it would probably last about 20 seconds.

So pouring lava on them or them springing a trap set by you would count, but them running straight into a Creeper while pursuing you would not.
