It looks like we'll need a seed population of cactus for the new map, as well as either gravel or flint infusions.  Other than that, the new map is pretty cool.

aahhh, no gravel, I was so happy to see that there was no gravel. I hate it so much. The ugliest most irritating substance in the entire game.

Agreed

Useful only for flint, which is needed in great quantities only if you're making arrows.

Had a Creeper explode on me by the entrence to the Moria tunnel. The damage was small and I repaired most of it. However As I can not spawn items I chould not replace the two or three lightstone. Sorry.

[PTTG??]

Thanks Zona. I'm sure the next op to log in will try to patch that up.


I've been thinking about this floating island map, and there are a couple issues I'm having with it. Among other things:

- Performance issues related to maps without real floors
- Eternal undead mobs floating on the ocean surface
- Islands can be rather small and ill-formed
- No biomes
- Missing resources (flint mainly, also plants)
- hard to get from island to island, requiring weird zig-zag bridges
- Map generator doesn't work on large maps. Generating segments/regions would be ideal.
- No dungeons, special trees; also could add other kinds of ruins or special features.

I've got some ideas, though it will take a while to learn how these map generators are made.

I will be experimenting with these for now. At some point, I will replace the current floating islands map with a new one from my own generator. I do not know when this will be.

How about a lava map floor with a layer of jagged bedrock and obsidian? There'd be little mob-filled magma-surrounded islets. Then the floating islands could fill the rest, graduating from nether-style, to desert, grass, forest, wet, and ice terrains, each with an assortment of resources present.

It may be possible to make islands (usually) line up on straight edges, allowing simpler, better-looking bridges, too.

Also, I may be able to make the spawn chunk part of a large island, then make all islands get smaller as they get farther out, until they fade away, which may be interesting and would look better than the walls.

Somehow, the IP of this server was posted on 4chan. I had to ban 2 louts that came from there. This is not good news.

I will work on repairing the damage in moria.

The server is temporarily down. The whitelist is being implemented. The server should be back up shortly.

[lordnincompoop]

How will we handle applications? What things shall we request from the applicants?

I suggest a form like this:

• MC Username?
• How familiar are you with the game?
• What other servers have you played on?
• What was your record like on those servers?
• Have you ever been banned, or been subject to any severe punishment? If so, why?
• How did you hear of us?
• How do you plan on playing here?
• Will this be your main server?
• Are you familiar with anyone already in Planehacked?

[Saint]

Just change the IP adress.

[PTTG??]

We welcome new users. Be sure to check out the OP.

The maps are currently fully backed up and undamaged.

We got a cable address so the IP WOULDN'T change. The whitelist should be sufficient.

[lordnincompoop]

I still think we should investigate new users if we're going for a whitelist, or it won't be of much use.

Of course they'd be welcome.

[shadowsofwhite]

I agree with lordnincompoop. I am happy to have new people on the server, but I would like to make sure they are not dangerous to its well-being.

I repaired the minor damage Zona told about, by the way. I also removed most of the damage dealt by the folks from 4chan. I'll fix the rest of it when the server is back up.

Can I be added to the whitelist? Long-time member of B12 here. MC username is x2yzh9

[Ultimuh]

I and clayspider would probably want to be added too.

[PTTG??]

No ready first posty, no whitelisty player.
