FYI doors never spawn with mines, only in strongholds or NPC villages.

Yerp, I was worried for a moment you'd broken my skeleton spawner or something. D:

In that case, when you discovered that spider spawner did you poke around in the area nearby? I’ve spotted a door or two every now and then.

e: never mind, did some exploring and turns out I’d been chasing my own tail—all the doors I’ve seen are my own.

DarkHoodness · #**1354** 10-21-2011, 02:54 PM

Yeah, me and Ench were poking around down there about 2 weeks ago or so.

Mudokon_Master · #**1355** 10-21-2011, 09:42 PM

I'm going to visit my cousin tomorrow, (the one who insisted on being part of the server and couldn't spell Mudokon). Anyone want me to deliver any messages to him?

Splat · #**1356** 10-22-2011, 12:50 AM

Crash, in the knowledge that making the building seven or eight blocks higher will involve rearranging all the stairs and be irritating and difficult, is it possible to redesign a slightly smaller sprite? Or for anyone else to help with this? I may be wrong, but didn't the Church of the Holy Record design its own sprite?

Did Father Braeburn design his own apple sprite to put on the back of his shirt for Granny Bacon's funeral? (I'd find out myself, but I... um... lost all my fingers in a terrible accident (yeah, that'll work).)

enchilado · #**1357** 10-22-2011, 01:04 AM

If it's meant to be viewed from outside, what's the problem?

Splat · #**1358** 10-22-2011, 04:08 AM

Um, having a window bigger than the wall would look stupid?

Crashpunk · #**1359** 10-22-2011, 08:36 AM

Okay I've finished the sprite, I took your advice Splat and made it smaller, I think its pretty good.

I've also been experimenting with a even smaller design for the entrances

Unsure about it. just wondering what you think.

Also what do you want the other gaps to be Glass or something else?

Splat · #**1360** 10-22-2011, 09:25 AM

I like it! It's cool! Can I suggest you make the top left block of the small apple white? Or maybe you tried that and didn't like it.

Also, the whole of the wall doesn't need to be glass. It looks a bit silly with the door frame and all the available space being glass; some of it could be filled with stone.

Quick, lazy mock-up of how the front wall could look...

Crashpunk · #**1361** 10-22-2011, 11:45 AM

I love the lazy mock up Splat, made me laugh

I'll get right on it

enchilado · #**1362** 10-22-2011, 12:26 PM

Ah, okay. I didn't realise it was going to have glass around it.

Splat · #**1363** 10-22-2011, 01:44 PM

Sorry, I was in a bad mood this morning.

Splat · #**1364** 10-22-2011, 03:25 PM

There were fifty of them, Edd, I swear! We tried to hold them back but they just kept coming! We did everything we could, but...

We're really, really sorry.

The stupid thing got me by surprise right as I came through and killed me, and then a second one got Hula when he came to investigate. Three of the pistons still work but the odd one in that screenshot is stuck open, and the outside lever is gone. I reckon the piston could be fixed quite easily but we didn't have any redstone on us; I've no idea how much damage was done to the lever. It was lucky Hula was quicker on his toes than I; he lured the second one away from the circuitry before it exploded, or else it might have been much worse.

In light of this, I think it wise to stick a sign on the inside of the gates, warning people to check for creepers as they go through, to discourage people from being as foolish as I was.

Manco · #**1365** 10-22-2011, 04:32 PM

Perhaps a moat could be constructed outside the gates, so mobs can’t spawn close to them.

Phylum · #**1366** 10-22-2011, 05:08 PM

I think that's a good idea. DH needs to get sand from somewhere.

DarkHoodness · #**1367** 10-22-2011, 10:18 PM

I fixed the gate in about 3 minutes, not much damage done so no problem - I sorta knew that'd happen.

To prevent this from happening again I've placed some fences around the front of the gate - At least now you'll be able to see a creeper approach you, allowing you to dispatch it before it blows another hole in my mechanisms.

Mr.Spandexpants · #**1368** 10-22-2011, 10:42 PM

So, who should I contact to get myself onto this server?

T-nex · #**1369** 10-22-2011, 10:49 PM

I dont mind Spandexpants joining the server. Does anyone else?

DarkHoodness · #**1370** 10-22-2011, 11:02 PM

Not at all so long as he gets shown around by someone first. Speak to Havoc.

dripik · #**1371** 10-22-2011, 11:37 PM

Oh right... I was supposed to send a PM to Havoc about you guys (Spandex and someone else I can't remember right now)? Maybe I did, I have to look it up. But nowadays, it's up to him who gets permission, so you should go biting his ears a bit if you want progress.

On another note, the server has been a bit quiet lately. I rarely see anyone on, there's not much of that good ol' cooperative joint effort for a certain goal going on. I had to reside to exploring a cave to counter this feeling (how effective it was is yet to be decided), and found another underground ravine west from Exodus. I also retrieved tons of coal, and put them in the Treasury for the perusal of the citizens.

Mudokon_Master · #**1372** 10-22-2011, 11:37 PM

I don't mind Spandex Pants on the server :P
And as for VF, I visited him today and we laughed about how ridiculous his whole issue was with him wanting to join the server and what you guys thought of him :P
But then he got on again while I was sleeping. It was pretty stupid but it's all funny to see how you guys didn't ban him up front :P He's not interested in Oddworld. All he wants is to get on the Minecraft server and we all know that's not gonna happen :P

@ Dripik, it was my cousin. He kept rambling on about Hakeswil because 'He has a funny face'. (From when he was watching me play on the server)

Mudokon_Master · #**1373** 10-22-2011, 11:45 PM

MOD EDIT: The first sentence of this post was referring to a large number of off-topic, now deleted posts. And T-nex telling everyone to get back on track.

Yay for back-on-trackness!

Just one last non-related thing: This is my 500th post!

I'm the new Rabid Fuzzle

And I get 1 new shiny OWI symbol under my name

Anyway;

:

On another note, the server has been a bit quiet lately.

I agree. I hardly get to catch anyone on as well, and I lack motivation. One of the lonliest things for me is caverning by myself. It's actually kinda depressing. All we need is another goal to keep us all going. We need a new idea.
Anyone got any?

T-nex · #**1374** 10-22-2011, 11:50 PM

I think we should hold weekly tournaments with prizes(spawned by admins upon agreement).

dripik · #**1375** 10-23-2011, 12:15 AM

I was thinking of a fishing competition, but that's not exactly the most exciting idea. We could do a Spleef tournament though, Splat would probably approve for his creation (the arena) being used more than the occasional game of Spleef.

T-nex · #**1376** 10-23-2011, 12:40 AM

Well we could have all sorts of tournaments XD....

Mudokon_Master · #**1377** 10-23-2011, 12:46 AM

I think I actually like the fishing tournament idea

It's certainly different. There should also be a prize for winning the spleef/fishing/whatever else.

Phylum · #**1378** 10-23-2011, 01:23 AM

I like the idea of an archery tournament one Havoc build the archery range because I think I lag too much for Spleef.

Mudokon_Master · #**1379** 10-23-2011, 02:30 AM

And we could have like a high score board?
What about using the spleef arena as a pvp arena as well?

T-nex · #**1380** 10-23-2011, 03:42 AM

What i'd like to know if there's any mod that exists, that turns on friendly fire in a restricted area... Such that we can have real tournaments.
