Minecraft - OWF server

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[Mudokon_Master]

Eh, well in that case I don't think I'll be participating, but I'll definitely be watching any videos recorded.

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[Wil]

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.

[Havoc]

Happy to help too. Just let me know when.

[Crashpunk]

I'll be a minor actor, Like a glukkon or that Slig who chases Abe.

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[enchilado]

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.

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[enchilado]

Ah, I misread what you said about Steam chat. It’s only five o’clock… think I’m still half asleep.

[Hulaabeo]

I'll be a glukkon if you want.

[Splat]

I offer my services.

[DarkHoodness]

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.

[dripik]

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.

[Splat]

No, that's mine. The Significant Ruin is the other way. By the sea.

[Phylum]

I'll help out with the RF scene if the timezone works out.

[DarkHoodness]

Reminder for tomorrow:


If nobody else does, I'll be filming this.

[Splat]

Well, I can watch 'Merlin' on iPlayer I guess. I'd prefer an hour later but I guess not all geeks are nocturnal.

[Hulaabeo]

You have my sword on this quest, comrades!

[Manco]

I’ll try and remember to come along, but no promises. Just go on without me if I don’t show.

[Crashpunk]

Has the server been updated to 1.0.0?

[DarkHoodness]

Not yet. Waiting on Havoc.

[Splat]

So now we're here, let us make sure; is anyone against the plan of starting a new server, moving only Rupture Farms and 2Fort?
Any other buildings people want to take? (If any other finished buildings are taken, I'd like to also take over the Spleef Arena. But if we're otherwise only taking the massive incomplete projects, I'll leave it.)
When do we want to do this? Shall we set a date? (End of the month? New Year?)

Phantom Sign Placer, leave us some signs by the last lot if you're working on anything else you'd like us to have a go at before the move.



In the mean time, I shall hopefully see some of you gents cheaply equipped by the signs at Exoddus at 8.00 PM tomorrow! (I'm leaving my beloved diamond sword behind, even if I did find 11 diamonds while mining a couple of days ago.)

[Phylum]

I might be able to get on by 9pm, but I'd have to wake up really early to do so. I'll see if I can be there.

[dripik]

So we're not taking Exodus with us, hoping that the two world can be somehow connected later on?

I'm cool with starting all over, sure. And I'll try to remember to be on the server at 8:00PM.

[Mudokon_Master]

I won't be able to participate in the treasure hunt thingy but I'd like to fill any available roles fore the RF Opening scene.

[Crashpunk]

Its a 50/50 chance if i'll be on tonight.

[DarkHoodness]

I'd like to do Havoc's idea, now that I know it's a possibility:

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.

Oh yeah, server's not been updated yet. Looks like we'll all have to revert back to Beta 1.8 for tonight's plans to work.

[Havoc]

Still waiting for a Bukkit release. They're doing the update live at Minecon, so it should be here soon. I'll update the server as soon as it's released

[Hulaabeo]

Hope the server gets up and running soon. The Server is outdated, Havoc please fix!
