That was actually a really epic map. Also, we should figure out how to take the map files from DF and make them into Infiniminer maps... and also I'm trying to figure out how the game encodes its graphics... looks like some kind of engine.

I really want to play this game. Unfortunately, .NET and XNA or whatever it is are refusing to install. I need to reinstall Windows anyway, as it's kind of horribly borked as it is. I just hate it when people write shit that needs more than one nonstandard external library to run.

This looks (and is, based on my brief experience on PTTG's computer) incredibly fun.

[PTTG??]

Speaking of fun:

New game now running.

Network: infiniB12
Pass: infiniminer
IP: 5.218.80.82

That's 122Server; Running IM Version 1.22. Please use version 1.22, as earlier versions have a serious bug that will disrupt other players.
This is a wild server. It's on it's own.

122Server resets the map whenever one side or annother gets $20000. That's four times the normal amount.

Note that the server automatically saves before resetting, so it's possible to reclaim lost saves if something really awesome is lost.

I appear to have pissed someone off with my art, judging by the number of shock blocks around red HQ. I bridged over them, I think.

Engraved on the wall is an image of the red team and the blue team. The red team is making an obscene gesture. The blue team is retaliating.

I temporarily switched teams so I could quickly move from the red base to blue and snap this picture.

Sorry, PTTG. I didn't want to stick around, so your telephone game failed.

the map file has been decoded!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Save files consist of numeric pairs, one for each ‘block’ in the map, separated by newlines. These pairs are of the form “X,Y”, where X denotes the type of block and Y the team it belongs to. Here are the possible X values:

0 – empty
1 – empty dirt
2 – ore
3 – gold
4 – diamond
5 – stone
6 – red spawn
7 – blue spawn
8 – ladder
9 – explosive block
10 – jump block
11 – teleporter
12 – shock block
13 – red bank
14 – blue bank
15 – red solid
16 – blue solid
17 – steel
18 – ‘dig here!’
19 – lava
20 – red ff
21 – blue ff

And the possible Y values:

0 – neutral
1 – red
2 – blue

Well, it took a lot less time than I expected it to. I got a little free time all of a sudden (and no, I am not fired).

*The first block to actually be drawn is at line 4162 (64*64 for empty face, +64 for empty row, +1 for empty block). From there, it goes horizontally in one direction.

*When it reaches the end of the row, it moves vertically by one block and draws another horizontal row, starting at line 4225 (64*64 for empty face, +64 for empty row, +64 for first row actually drawn, +1 for empty block). Once it has drawn all of the rows it can for a vertical face, it moves in the "other" horizontal direction and proceeds to drawn the second vertical face.

*The second face drawn starts at line 8257 (64*64 for empty face, +(64*64) for first face actually drawn, +64 for empty row, +1 for empty block).

*If you are standing on the first block placed and looking towards the area where the rest of the map will be, the second block placed will be to your right. The first block of the second row will be where you are standing. The first block of the second face will be to your left. (If that’s too hard to figure out, just put a spawn at line 4162, and 3 blocks of different types at lines 4163, 4225, and 8257. I think. No time to check right now. Break time is over.)

Keep in mind that, even though they aren’t actually drawn, the game still sees the one-block-thick perimeter of the cube. It simply draws it as empty squares.

AND I just realized that I can use my Legos to build bases before I start putting them in the computer. It will make things SO much easier when it comes to visualizing things.

Now we need someone to make a DF to IM converter. (we do know how to decode DF, right?  )

Ask the guys that made the 3D fortress visualization program to share the DF-decoding they use.

[PTTG??]

Server closed:

Starting a new one for the next few days. This one won't go out during the day.

[Hawkfrost]

Once I get my new computer, I will most likely join in regularly, but until then I can only play at a friend's house.

I think the game needs more features though.

Some more things to build, more underground features.

'nuff said.

Hell yes.

I spawn inside a room i cant get out of, what am i missing here? I cant seem to do anything at all.

New Server:

Network: infiniB12

IP: 5.219.58.84
(PTTG Server)

Resets on $10,000 - If everyone cooperates, it'll restart every few hours.
Maps have three times the normal amount of ore.

[Floirt]

Meh. I had to get my computer to repair, so I'm on another comp for now, and the network is full. 

Could any of you log out so I can try to kick inactive people out, or should I make another network for B12?

[Solifuge]

I just set up a new network:
  Network Name: B12miner
  Network Password: infiniminer

I'm also hosting a Custom Map while I'm out for a little bit:
  Direct Connect: 192.168.1.108
  Map: castles.lvl

somebody else go to that map!
