When did you last log in? There was some intense building between july and august.

If the server's down, does that mean we'll get a few more days to work on the competition houses? (pretty please?)

Claus · Post Post #1379 (ISO) » Wed Aug 31, 2011 6:41 am

I think it would be only fair.

Mid-to-late june. I left for basic on the 23rd so.. anytime after then. Main concern is was the world reset at all?

My Milked Eek · Post Post #1381 (ISO) » Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:13 am

No reset. (Almost) everything is still there.

Mute · Post Post #1382 (ISO) » Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:14 am

Almost?

My Milked Eek · Post Post #1383 (ISO) » Wed Aug 31, 2011 9:16 am

I removed a few plateaus and a mountain >_>

Okay guys, with the server back online, I will take pictures of the contest entrees tomorrow night, in about 24 hours from this post. Then everyone can look at the pictures (or at the homes online) and send me their votes through the weekend.

Cheers!

god all I wanted to do was find some sheep...

after I failed at that, I just explored some stuff, found my way into the underground of the MSTA building. After getting lost in the caves and and getting the shit scarred out of me by a random skellie wtf??? (Was able to kill it due to it being dumb and shooting the wall instead of moving into the LOS around the corner I was standing behind), I somehow came back up through a hidden entrance into the train station. That was kinda fun.

I think oh cool, I've never ridden a minecart before maybe if I go to a new area I can get some sheep to spawn. So I grab a spare mine cart and head out towards esurio's place. I don't know how far I made it, but the last thing I expected to see down there were 2 creepers right on the tracks and me not knowing how to stop a minecart.......................

So yeah, then I respawned and made it back to get what was left of my stuff. The tracks totally busted but I left a few rails and a booster rail and a torch in the minecart chest and now I'm scarred for life and will probably never ride another minecart again.

All for a few lousy sheep. So yeah, my competition house probably isn't getting finished because After work tomorrow I'm on the road to my hometown and will be away from minecraft for the weekend. Unless I play in the browser at some point but I won't be on again until Late friday night at the earliest, maybe not until saturday night.

Well, can't do worse than 3rd place right now I guess

*my* railway is in the nether and well-lit. so it would never spawn creepers.

so there

That was.... unexpected.

I thought the cart was fast enough (and the areas around it were lit enough), that mobs spawning in the area wouldn´t have enough time to climb the tracks. Seems I was wrong.

I´ll fix the tracks in the weekend, and add some fences to the cave openings.

Thanks for letting us know!

Going to redesign the "palace". It's not really so much of a palace as it is a big stone box.

So, tearing it down over the next few days.

Drench · Post Post #1391 (ISO) » Fri Sep 02, 2011 1:14 am

Rhinox · Post Post #1392 (ISO) » Fri Sep 02, 2011 5:17 am

I thought I'd be clever and try to get on minecraft at work. Can't log onto the server (unless its down again), but even when I played single player for 3 seconds the FPS were so slow it was unplayable anyways.

So...

My Milked Eek · Post Post #1393 (ISO) » Fri Sep 02, 2011 5:22 am

Try OptiFine.

http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/249 ... fps-boost/

Boosted my FPS on my laptop quite a bit. Not up to levels like on my desktop, but I could turn it up to Normal render distance instead of Small.

I use optifine on my desktop. It is such a wonderful mod.

Rhinox · Post Post #1395 (ISO) » Fri Sep 02, 2011 5:42 am

Thanks. I might actually try that on my laptop if I ever get it up and running again. Or even my wife's desktop since its not really the greatest for games. But...

I really won't (and shouldn't) be trying to play minecraft regularly at work on my work computer

I already went and found and deleted the .minecraft folder. I don't know whats monitored and what isn't as far as computer usage goes but I don't want to push it. I'm already on this site during the day more than I should reasonably be allowed so by now I figure they're probably not monitoring much, but still.. I can hide a web page on my desktop, make it small so people who walk by and glance at the screen don't even notice. Its a lot harder to hide a game...

Just wanted to see if I could get in just for today during lunch and find some sheep or go collect stuff for dyes. I might not get my competition building done in time, but I'm not going to leave whats there sitting unfinished...

P.S. I'm taking donations. I need 4 stacks of lime green wool to finish the outer stucture of the structure I'm building. Any donations of silk, wool, cactus, cactus green, bone, bonemeal, lime green dye, or green wool may placed in the chest in the bottom of the cobble tower at the competition site.

I do already have a couple short of a single stack of undyed wool already.

P.S.S. I know I can get plenty of bone from the mob tower assuming the mobs keep spawning and I know there's a desert out on the road past my castle for plenty of cactus (found cactus farm under MSTA, waited for a reasonably long while, got like 4 cactus, gave up...) so I can eventually get both of those to make dye relatively painlessly. Wool has been hard to come by for some reason... The spider trap doesn't give enough silk. Sheep aren't spawning, like, anywhere.

My Milked Eek · Post Post #1396 (ISO) » Fri Sep 02, 2011 9:04 pm

Use the spider grinder at the competition builds. 4 strings make a wool block.
