Old Preparation Topic 1

I personally am fine with no tundra. I'd rather live in a wooded area anyway.

 

[Tuna]

I've heard snow can be laggy anyway. Not as much as a dense forest, but still borderline. I personally have never stuck around when I've found a snowy area in my game.

I've done a loooootttttt of seed testing, and have settled on a world seed. Here's some screens from it (note: I hadn't modified the world yet in them):

Spoiler: All rest of the screens! Warning: lots!

Will show more teasers in a few days as I progress :3

 

[mawk]

the mountain has a heart :')

so, wait, is that SMP or Doku? I can't tell.

 

[Venetia]

it's dokucraft, modded. i still have more modding to do on the "endorsed" texturepacks though.

im angry b/c i found a sweet ass abandoned mining tunnel network and failed to take any screens b/c i was too enthralled :x

 

[LiquidMetal91]

Cant wait :D

It looks so awsome!
Specially this one

 

[Venetia]

Yeah that strange crevasse goes on for quite a while, and gets crazy deep. Some of the crevasses run so deep you can find gold ore chillin' in caves at the bottom. I mean on the visible surface--I didn't dig at all.

also: FINALLY, a need for people to build little bridges & excavation scaffolds~!

 

[LiquidMetal91]

Just name the time ;D

 

[Tuna]

Hopefully getting my new laptop on Cyber Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed because I can't wait to play on Venetia's bitchin' Minecraft server! (without lag)

 

[e]

cant wait :biggrin:

 

[psiclone]

looks like the majority are choosing late evening.. i can't play that late i'm usually in bed by 7pm est cause i work really early, so i won't see most of you if servers are up that late

 

[Velocir_X]

^ Im in GMT+1 atm so my normal free time after school -> till i need to sleep is from 9a.m to 5p.m. or so EST.
Nobody's going to be on

 

[Venetia]

idk, it says that 4 people so far are on during daytimes (est).

also with my new job, i'll be able to randomly log on during the day too :x


also also: DAMMIT BUKKIT CMON MAKE A 1.8.1 RECOMMENDED BUILD ALREADY FFFFFF

 

[e]

day time EST is good for me since im on GMT+1, so that'd be my evening

 

[Venetia]

My getting a lung infection and BukkitDev's (understandable) dragging their heels on finally releasing an RB have set me back a little. Don't worry, I'm still hard @ work, but it's going to be a few more days.

In the meantime, please feel free to keep sending me plugin suggestions and .schematic files. The more work I have to do alone, the longer this shit takes to do!

Also I will be building the server PC tomorrow too :kiss:

 

[Jason]

So I've got to say... those screenshots look pretty amazing o.O Did you do all of that yourself? Because I'm REALLY impressed o.O

I'll have to take a gander once this is up, lol...

 

[Venetia]

Nope, the world was unedited at that point. That's just the awesomeness of that seed!

Here's a little taste of the main city's front gate. Actually I took this screen 2 days ago and some things have changed, but like I said, it's a taste.

No matter what I tried, I couldn't manage to seed a full continent with all the natural resources/biomes on it I wanted. So I am building a continent out of pieces of continents. It took FOREVER to make a desert large enough to contain the main city, with a harbor on the south side. But I used some of you guys' schematics yesterday, so woo!! Thanks!

I'm still debating on how I will set up shops. I had REALLY been hoping for NPCs in this update. Now I'm going to have to use a temporary NPC plugin until 1.9 probably. Bummer.

 

[LiquidMetal91]

Your not the only one thats busy :D

Can ya guess what it is? :biggrin:

WIP though...
Needs some adjusting (for the B mostly)

Is... is this love..? :heart:

Wow, Ven, that's badass! I'm definitely looking forward to this. By the way, do you mind if a few friends of mine from elsewhere join? I vouch for their non-douchiness.
