gaming Minecraft General Discussion

[Ryzu 984]

Yea So I want to join now after it being like a month or so lol. What's the game version and or modpack? (I'm guessing just the mlp mod)

[jreidsma 54]

It's running 1.6.4

And no mods are required to play. But it's highly recommended to have the mine little pony mod. Most of the people playing will be using the pony skins.

~~~~~~~

 

The server is ONLINE.

 

I don't know why, but something in the CD drive and in the hard drive fried on the server. Causing all info on it to be lost.

 

 

I'm very sorry everyone but I could not get the info off the old hard drive. If you built anything I cannot garauntee that it is still there. We still have the same map, still an old brohoof world, but we had to use one of our backups that we had. I tried to get the info off but nothing I tried could mount the hard drive, it wasn't turning on at all.

 

My only option was to use a different computer which is using a different type of hard drive (SATA). Its using the same RAM though.

 

I will have to remake the teleportation system later, its almost 2AM right now.

 

(Maybe in the near future I will be able to afford a nice server)

General Server Update

 

Okay, just a few things before I call it a night. I now have a job so I can only get on server to look after things after 2:45-2:50 AM EST and will only be on for a little while. Also, since the public garden is constantly abused and rarely used, it has been removed entirely. And the final thing. When I get some free time, the map is going to be reworked entirely to make it look a little more modernized. As I put together ideas for what to do exactly, it will be put through the paces. The map WILL change and some, if not most, cities will be removed due to the lack of usage that they currently face.

Okay, i had to troll you guys who actually play on the server via this site a bit. No I'm not removing cities, just spreading them out and instead of having horrid walls from between the main map and the equestria map section, all cities will and should lay flatly with respect to the new layout. This also allows me and other admins to secure homes and do quicker scans for griefing. I will also be helping with looking for a multi-map plugin that allows more than one map to be accessed. Hopefully... a creative map with gained permissions to build where the 3D and pixel art will be and there will be the main portion of the map where it will be survival. I HOPE this goes as planned because I know it has been often requested and/or mentioned by the peers. Cross your fingers/hooves because when I can roll out this update, it will be the biggest one yet!

Server Update 6/15/14 and Map Update Notes:

 

Lots of new ponies joining the server (for both good and bad reasons), new teleport system added though there are the random glitches with it, and that's the only real update.

 

Map Update: I have begun to evaluate just how much I'm going to have to export when the time comes for the new map. Noticeable things would be that the lands will be up to the default 6X-7X instead of the current 4X-5X height. Cities will be further apart and the rail line system removed entirely. With the distance further than ever between the cities, the time to establish a rail system would be more tedious than the time I'm willing to put into the map itself. With the teleport system in play, getting between zones would be the best plus would allow a lot more resources in between places.

 

New Locations of Cities:

Lunagrad will be located by an ocean

Ponyville/Sweet Apple Acres/Whitetail Woods/Everfree Forest/Fluttershys Cottage will be in a taiga (snow lands) zone and plains zone

Canterlot I will attempt to put in the extreme hills area (hopefully it works)

Buffalo Camp/Appleloosa will be in a desert

Manehattan may/may not be moved to a taiga but will likely be in a plains area

Fillydelphia will be located to plains

Griffon Village (my domain) will be located in the middle of the ocean and homes multiplied to an extent and expanded for others to live in.

 

Other areas have yet to be decided.

 

As I have VERY little free time, don't expect this map to be rolled out immediately. With working 10 hour shifts 6 days a week, it will take me a month or even more to get this all done.

 

One other thing that I know some will like. If you know how to use MC Edit and would like a non-creepypasta building or small area of land added to the map, please send the schematic to me over skype @ cyclonic.devastation and tell me the region you would like it applied to (taiga, plains, ect.) and I will give you the coordinates of where it will be located at. If you want it located close to a city, that is fine too. Just let me know what city and I can apply it. However, once map is ready to be rolled out, I will no longer accept buildings/lands to be applied.

 

Multiple World System:

Here it is, the best thing that jreidsma and I highly hope will work out for the best. Dual worlds! ALL 3D and pixel art will be moved to the separate "Art World" for artists to build pixel pony art and other awesome pony stuff after they have been given permission. This world will be creative only but, as stated, ponies would need permission to build there. This is to keep griefing to a minimal and allow others to build pixel art and 3D creations freely. Just no creepypasta or it will be removed.

 

For now, enjoy the current map and I hope to have this revolutionary update out in some time!

 

My installation of Woodland will not make a reappearance as it is too complex to maintain and protect.

Server Map Update Notes Update 2:

 

I am now plotting out points for cities to be at. With cities currently between 300-1500 meters from each other in the current map, some cities now are between 500? and 1600 meters from each other. I have yet to confirm distances, but the locations are in fact further. Though as I would want it to look and feel like Equestria in real-time, there is no possible way to do so unless I built the map by hoof block by block, and I have NO TIME to do that. So I'm just plotting cities around as I see fit and going from there. I am still in debate whether or not to put Ponyville in a taiga or plains/forest area. But i have a nice feeling with how I have things set now, If I can find a plains AND taiga sitting beside each other, Ponyville will definitely go there (since i will be importing Fluttershys along with most of everfree forest with the ponyville portion anyways...)

 

The map is, instead of being default (small biomes), a large biome based map. By doing this, all players can have more free roam to build larger houses on their own and have far more above ground resources at hoof.

 

This is all for now and just the beginning so stay tuned!

[FlutterScream 180]

Just a little heads up, yes i'm still doing map work, don't worry about that, but for some reason tonight, the server keeps going down. I have no clue as to why but there is nothing I can do to fix it. I did manage to backup the server before it did go down however, but there is one question on my mind and why it exists. Who built Cloudville right over Ponyville and why? I'm not saying I don't like it, in fact, the opposite, but if the builder does read these forums, you should know that doing that was a big mistake as it keeps mobs spawned on the ground. It will be relocated with the next map roll out so don't be angry about it.

 

I also notice that first time players to the server somehow spawn on top of Twilights hot air balloon. WHY it does this, I have no clue since I had the default spawn zone right inside of the balloon close the the ground. But since you come into game with nothing and you lose nothing, a simple death isn't all that bad.

Ahh ok, Thank you. And sorry about that. Im still new here an wasnt aware. But thanks again!

[FlutterScream 180]

~~~~IMPORTANT NOTICE!~~~~

 

As most who play and are from this site have noticed, I haven't been on due to my own reasons. For one, I am simply way too tired after work, for two, I am still working on the new map, and for three, I am simply tired of playing it right now. I have NOT given up my responsibilities, but I will not be logging into the server because of these facts. I do enjoy playing other games too, but it doesn't take away my love for minecraft. I simply cannot stand redundancy, and I do need my break from time to time.

 

Also, any bans that I have made will not be requested overturned due to the fact that if I banned you. I have logged into the server twice while griefing was taking place and have banned those responsible.

UGH, still waiting on 1.8, Mojang, it's been 8 months since 1.7 came out.  But in all seriousness, I can't wait for this update. Water Dungeons FTW

[Syannax the Changeling 101]

That seems interesting. Maybe they should have a dungeon in a village or something. like have a small cemetery there and there is a dungeon down there

1.8 huh? 1.8 is actually snapshot I tell you...

1.8 huh? 1.8 is actually snapshot I tell you...

I know. I don't like testing snapshots because they're always buggy for me. I prefer waiting for the actual release.

[Minepro 107]

Same here, but whenever I DO play Minecraft, it's either just boring or it lags out due to memory overload. Jeb needs to make this game use less resources.

[Sketch Breeze 11]

I have started to make my own MLP themed Minecraft server.

The website link is: http://w11.zetaboards.com/canterlotcraft/index

There is more about the server in the website

 

Also we haven't got the Minecraft server up yet because I still need to work on that.

[Horsy 193]

The fact that you made a website shows that you are serious about this. I shall check that later.

[Star-Gazer 202]

...I'll be watching this. The fact that you've got a website for the server already shows that you're actually gonna do this.

[Sketch Breeze 11]

Yup because i have always wanted to host a minecrft server. even though first i also have to save up for a minecraft account >•<

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

So today I decided to try running shaders on Minecraft.

 

First attempt:

 

 

Turns out my macbook isn't powerful enough for Sonic Ether's... I tried a different shader pack:

 

 

Looks great, except Minecraft runs at 5 fps.  :okiedokielokie: I need to try this on my PC.

 

Edit: Nice view here

Just a question about Minecraft: I was wondering, what's the wecommended amount of deditated WAM for a server?

[FlutterScream 180]

~~~ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ~~~

 

Until further notice, the map upgrade has been placed on HIATUS due to my lack of ability to work on it and the growing popularity and creations being added to the current server. I no longer have the proper amount of time to keep working on the servers updated map let alone time for myself other than to work, sleep, and eat. i will still check on it from time to time though.

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

@,

 

I downloaded that same mod, and had the exact same issue. I ended up getting another that worked well. How do you find your current one? I'm running on a macbook pro, and it's pretty laggy with the shaders on.

@,
I would dedicate at least 2 gigs to it if possible. If not, more. It depends what your computer has though. If you only have 2 gigs, then I'd only dedicate 1 gig to it, leave your system some room to breathe or it may freeze on you.
