OK. echo.

I think we're close to go time on the permanight server. Please build underground; surface dwellings (And light sources) will function as creeper magnets. Going to the surface for wood will be quite unsafe for the unprepared.

That said, hidden, tunnel-y surface access is A-OK.

Note to mods: No item spawning allowed on the secondary server; this is hardcore mode here.

We're testing the script now, and will reset the world when ready for go-time.

Sounds awesome. I look forward to giving that a go.

What about thefts, glitches and other such situations?

Also, your position on mod-enlarged caves?

I was speaking about spawning materials for megaconstructions, etc. Thefts and stuff... I guess... glitches maybe.

Mod-enlarged caves? No spawning dynamite or anything. Or tools. But if a mod goes in with a handmade stone pick and carves out a cave, then I've got nothing against that.

Anyone know why screen is giving me this error:?

-X: stuff: display or window required

The current script is:

while [ 1 ]
do
   screen -p 3814 -X stuff "time set 14000\r"
   echo "tick"
   sleep 10
done

This resets the time every ten seconds. Ultimately, I'll change that to once every six minutes, so the moon moves around more normally.

Is this Bash you're using here?

[PTTG??]

Probably? This is Ubuntu from a few months ago.
EDIT: Yes, it is.

Seems the optimal times for no daylight are between 14000 and 22000.

Is it possible to set the time so that when it reaches 22000, the time sets to 14000?

[PTTG??]

I can't scan minecraft, but I know that each tick in minecraft time is 1/2 a second, I just need to take the total difference and derive the real-world time.

The big problem at the moment is that linux won't let me control one screen from another.

[PTTG??]

It's working! Hop on the alternate server for eternal darkness!
Remember, build underground, and well-lit. Mods: don't spawn things for mass construction, though griefing and glitch repair is OK.

[shadowsofwhite]

Yup, everything seems to be functioning just fine.  Have fun, everyone, and don't build above ground!



... Or ELSE ...

[dragonshardz]

We've got a bunker near around the lava pit - the only surface construction is a small building securing surface access. At the moment, we are working on digging out an area for people to build personal homes off of. We also have a tree farm, and ThatNinjaGuy is making his lair nearby.

Just follow the torches from spawn.

Dammit, I probably won't get on till tommorow evening =(

Oh man, I'm totally gonna build like a huge volcano, and have like lots of flashing red lights, and maybe make a giant lighthouse/amusement park/castle/waffle iron/statue!

Waffle Iron/statue??? That sounds...


AWESOME!!!!!

[Rex_Nex]

Hehe. I have a little base set up pretty close to the bunker, but I drowned in my own mob trap.
