Minecraft - OWF server

[AlexFili]

There are plenty of MC servers that don't require a whitelist! Maybe it's a good place to get experience with the game for those who aren't that well known in OWF.
Here's a selection of different ones: http://mcserverlist.net/

[Havoc]

Server has been updated to Craftbukkit 1.2.5-R1.0.

[DarkHoodness]

Oh yeah, like a couple of other people have done, I'm making a small/medium-sized adventure dungeon on the server as a "practice" just to make sure I get RF right, and also to give us something else to do. Also I feel it's nice to work on something where the layout isn't restricted in any way by existing walls and objects... Will release more details when it nears completion.

[Varrok]

I've made some screenshots:



The last two are of my new tree-house. It's located somewhere in the forest somewhere south-west of Ma'spa (i think)

[Wil]

Beautiful!

[Varrok]

Yeah, cool sky and the mountain... too bad some guy showed up and covered 1/3 of the screen : D

[Wil]

Oh, I didn't see the background.

[dripik]

Nice snapshots there Varrok!

Oh look, there's a stronghold we haven't explored yet! How is this so? When shall we do it? Should I just propose a date and see who's available at the time? I think this is the biggest obstacle at the moment, so how about the 25th of April, starting around 7:00PM GMT?

[DarkHoodness]

Sounds good to me if nothing else is going on by then.

[Phylum]

Can we bump that forwards a few hours by any chance? 7pm GMT works out to 4am for me. Doing it late on your 15th or 16th would be idea for me.

[Crashpunk]

For some reason as soon as I join the server, I get kicked. I haven't been banned have I???

[Wil]

Yes. We all hate you.

[DarkHoodness]

Apparently McMyAdmin has updated and for some stupid reason the Whitelist has vanished. I can fix it, however - I've re-added those I've remembered (Havoc may have to adjust things if I've not done it correctly) - PM me with your usernames if you try to log on and found I've forgotten you and you want to be re-added.

EDIT:

I cannot remember TDA's Minecraft name for the life of me, nor do I have any record of it. If someone knows what it is, can you PM me with it? Thanks.

I wrote down all the names on the whitelist a while back. I fear I threw it away, but I'll have a check.

[DarkHoodness]

I think I have most of them now, but if I've forgotten anyone, give me a poke.

[Havoc]

I hate how they just update MCmyadmin without asking you first. It's probably a backend thing, but fuck at least announce it. All I got was an e-mail saying 'Hey! We updated!' and I was like; oh god not again.

Thanks Dark, for fixing the whitelist. I'm so busy right now I hadn't even noticed anything was wrong.

Edit: Does look very fancy though.

[Splat]

I find it disgustingly pessimistic that your record farm doesn't include a record player.

[Wil]

The record farm is redundant now that creepers and skeletons will just walk around the holes.

[DarkHoodness]

Splat commissioned me to make this as part of the rail system earlier this evening.





Half done in creative mode for planning purposes, then tore most of it down after realising it was wrong (except for the frame). I then finished it in survival mode even though it took bloody ages to collect and smelt all that clay. It is very plentiful on ocean floors now though, and you can use the bucket exploit to stay down there as for as long as you want (just don't drown like I did, it's hard to locate your stuff again).

[AlexFili]

That's an epic viaduct

[Splat]

I'd like to explain by 'commissioned', what he means is that we had a conversation that went something like this:

Talpstar: Maaaan, I planned to build a massive viaduct here for the rail system but I'm too lazy. You do it for me, Edd.
Darkhoodness: Ok.

Thanks, friend; it's brilliant! Even that creeper seems to like it!
(I'd posrep but I did you too recently.)


Anyway, Stronghold run. I propose Saturday the 28th of May, starting at 8PM GMT BST. Any objectors?

[sheridanm962]

Apparently I have to wait ten years just to join the server (or whitelisted on the server).
I could argue over how retarded and idiotic that might be or I can simply put it into a really good explanation over why it's not okay.

Now, it's not a good idea because in at least 10 years time we WILL most definitely not be playing minecraft on the server... It won't exist, you might not exist and there are other possibilities that just rule out this huge fabrication completely.

I ask you: Do I really have to wait for such a long time or is it just a sick inside joke that I am unaware of.... We really need a memo system going, or news whichever floats Nate's and the community's boats at this point.
(Inb4 someone complaining about me being off topic when I surely was).

[dripik]

It's not an inside joke, it's a rule.

That viaduct is grand. I was at work in the morning, amid a mass of publication data to be organised and processed, and I took a break from it and saw these pictures. A tear may have nearly came to my eye. It looks brilliant, simply put.

I'm cool with the 28th of May.

[DarkHoodness]

@Everyone else - I'm glad people like the viaduct. Also about the Stronghold run, early May is better for me since as I said earlier, I may be off to Devon during mid to late May. I don't mind missing out, but you'll have to get someone else to film it.

@sheridanm962 - Gonna have to remind you of this again I think, pay close attention to the writing in bold:

Hello,

Thank you for your interest. However, the server isn't open publicly to all Oddworld fans - Instead, it is set up privately, and only for members of the long-established (10+ year old) Oddworld Forums community to play together as a group of friends.

You are free to join us on the forums here and integrate yourself with us over a long period of time for us to get to know you, provided you aim to become a respected and contributing member of our community ... although please don't post on these forums only for the sake of attempting to get onto the Minecraft server as others have done.

It's our discretion entirely if we decide to let you on or not - It isn't based solely on time spent here, it's also about how well you fit into OWF's community.

[Havoc]

Damn that viaduct looks so awesome. Arches really give a new building dimension to Minecraft . Too bad I havn't had much time to play lately.

[sheridanm962]

Yeah sorry I must've read it wong.

[Splat]

When do you get back, Edd? Early May seems to be a problem for other people.

[DarkHoodness]

I don't quite know when I'm going just yet - Sometime in May for 2 weeks.

As I said, you lot can go whenever it suits you all, just if I can't make it you'll have to find someone else to film it for you.

[Splat]

Ma'Spa Rail Network is now available between Ma'Spa Depot and Dark Castle Station.

Rob, do you want to build a fancy station at Exoddus? Or are you not really interested in doing so? I ask you only because I'm envisaging something similar to the Exoddus Town Hall which you did well/seemed to enjoy.


I really enjoyed building the rail so I'll probably get on with the next bit soon, probably southwards since there's a station already built for me there, and station-building is the part of the job that I end up procrastinating on.
Also, there's a ton of clay in the Ma'Spa Depot storage chests that people are free to help themselves to.
