Two contestants at a vicious game of Spleef.
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1321095584 Also, would there be interest in a Spleef Tournament? We could even make it into a video with commentary, just for fun. |
As for the new server, starting over idea, I might have a solution that works for everyone.
There are several multi-world plugins for Bukkit and the Stargate plugin (which we currently use for travel between Genesis and Exoddus) supports that. What this would mean in a nutshell is that we could generate a completely new world and use the gates to link them together. You'd be able to travel between them. I haven't done much research into this though, so I'll check on the exact do's and don't in this system. |
I haven’t really built anything meaningful in Exoddus, so I’m not too worried about starting over.
I’d like to be able to access Genesis in future though, as I fucking love that mountain lair. |
Hmm, in retrospect I would quite like to save the spleef arena if we do take any other stuff. If it's just a case of Rupture Farms and 2Fort then ok, but if we take other stuff, I'd like the arena...
|
Yeah! We should have a tournament. :D
|
Yeah I want to take 2Fort, I'm not working on it at the moment but I will do in the future.
|
This is going to cast much suspicion on me but...
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1321393752 I found this when I was going to go mining in the public mine. I didn't want to go exploring without anyone else on, and it even asks for a group to go on this quest... Now what? |
Ooooh. whos in?
|
Wut...
|
I'm in. I want to get to the bottom of these shenanigans.
|
I can't, unfortunately. I'll be at my GF. But I expect video footage of all of it!
|
I won’t be playing any more Minecraft until I get my new computer sometime around the 25th, unfortunately. Sounds exciting.
|
Is that BST being British Summer Time? 'Cus we're not in that any more. I might be working then.
Also, is this north as in Sun-moving-east-to-west north (generally accepted north) or north as in map-aligning-north north (gravel-cave north)? EDIT: Me and Hula just went for an explore to find the place; we found it with some difficulty 'cus it's actually quite far from the river, but I put a pillar of cobble with dirt at the top on the edge of the river: when you're following the river and see the pillar, head north to find the small, cobble ruin. I had a look just inside, and the first challenge was a basic dispenser-and-pressure-pad jumping puzzle. I didn't try it or anything; leave that to when we do it as a gang. Dunno if the rest will continue in that vein or not; we'll have to wait and see. |
Well, it says a swamp in the north, and down river to the "Sun-moving-east-to-west" north is a moderately sized swamp. It is veering off to the north-east... perhaps someone should check?
|
:
Though someone should tell the server troll about GMT. |
Ah. In that case I'll probably be just finishing work and coming home for food. But I don't know my hours for sure yet, so I can't say for certain.
|
Signs been updated to 8:00pm GMT on Saturday 19th (no it's not me doing it, the sign's been changed when I checked it just now)
The map is blank for me so I guess people will have to guide me. I'm glad whoever is doing this finally picked up where they left off. :) |
6:00am on Sunday for me… not too unreasonable, I guess, but it will suck on my shitty laptop. It won’t be able to run Steam (I think you’ve been using Steam to voice chat?) at the same time either, I don’t think, so I will be eerily silent on the recording, if there is one. :(
|
If it's 6:00am for you it's 5:30am for me.
Count me out |
I'll see if I can get in, although I'll be staying at my Aunt's place and would feel bad if I used up the bandwidth they have.
Does anyone know how many kb/s Minecraft online will take up? |
I have to monitor my bandwidth so I have a program running in the background. (40 GBs a month sucks - You'd think it's a lot, but it really isn't. I could double it to 80 but they'd charge me an extra £10 ontop of the £30 a month I pay already - Although that does include phone as well).
Apparently Minecraft uses anything between 400 and 800 kbs/s when loading landscape (it'll use less if you have your draw distance set lower), and 50-80 kb/s when you aren't moving around so much and are staying in one area. |
Eh, well in that case I don't think I'll be participating, but I'll definitely be watching any videos recorded.
|
Speaking of group events, I'll shortly be needing 9 actors for the boardroom scene for the AO intro in Minecraft. I only need 2 or 3 people to help me with other parts of the vid once set pieces are completed, so that can be done later, but the boardroom scene will take the most co-ordination and effort, and I nearly have everything I need (I'm missing some decent glukkon skins) so I'd like to get that out of the way first.
Any takers? The person playing Abe will have to not lag so much and be able to communicate with me through Steam voice chat. The other parts don't have to have this, though. |
Happy to help out if I'm free whatever evening you decide upon (which is pretty likely). In fact, if you wait until Wednesday I won't even have to come into work to do it. :D
|
Happy to help too. Just let me know when.
|
I'll be a minor actor, Like a glukkon or that Slig who chases Abe.
|
That's 3.
It won't be too soon since there's a couple of things that still need to be made ready - We have to wait for Minecraft 1.0 to come out first as well, so that smooth camera panning is enabled. Also getting 9 people together to do something may take a while. We had about that many for the Exoddus opening though. |
I’m happy to act, and if my new computer has arrived by the time this happens I should be able to handle a speaking rôle, too, provided I can manage a suitable voice.
|
4/9.
There are no speaking roles - People just need to act out the parts. I'll be putting footage to the sound from the FMV, much like the test vid I made. |
Ah, I misread what you said about Steam chat. It’s only five o’clock… think I’m still half asleep.
|
I'll be a glukkon if you want.
|
I offer my services.
|
6/9... Just need 3 more and we're good.
EDIT: BTW I posted the WIP vid onto the OWI facebook page, people seem to like it. :) |
Count me in.
Also, I may have bumped into a small ruined building of mentioned appearance a couple of days ago on a shore beyond the swamp. I didn't really look into what it is though, at the time I took it for a cool-looking boathouse. |
No, that's mine. The Significant Ruin is the other way. By the sea.
|
I'll help out with the RF scene if the timezone works out.
|
Reminder for tomorrow:
http://www.oddworldforums.net/attach...1&d=1321627272 If nobody else does, I'll be filming this. |
Well, I can watch 'Merlin' on iPlayer I guess. I'd prefer an hour later but I guess not all geeks are nocturnal.
|
You have my sword on this quest, comrades!
|
I’ll try and remember to come along, but no promises. Just go on without me if I don’t show.
