Friendly Coop BTW Server !

[PK_420]

Oh My !
Just realised that I have TeamViewer installed on the server, I'm going to connect right now and run a test server with a backup of GringoTown's map just to see if it's not too hard to find new areas of nether and I'll try to see if the map is still playable.. If so, I'll update it right away.. if you want to come around it's the same IP but the default port.
207.134.155.40:25565
I'll be able to tell shortly if I'm updating...

P.S. If anything needs a fix, (chunk reset or backup..) I'll do it as soon as I get back home if there's really a need for it.

Edit : So Far So Good :) Found some nether quartz in new chunks along with a new fortress :)
Sounds like an update coming soon...

Re-Edit : Finally, I Just updated to v4.66, it looks like everything is OK..

I have been playing it off and on for awhile now
I am not a very talkative person unfortunatly

[Floyper]

ive noticed a bug. my house is in a mountain area. (i think) and all the textures of grass blocks facing north have a darker grass texture than the sides of grass blocks facing any other direction.

[Floyper]

new axle turning texture IS AMAZING

PK, the portal in my area is up, if you need it to see the area that needs regenerating.

its behind the sugarcane in my house

Does MCEdit or server OP functions allow you to see which chunks have been generated?
If so, can you see which chunks around the portal have been generated and reset those too?

Additional information: I'm hoping to play with a friend, but he didn't register, and I'm really eager to teach him how to play with this mod. Would you mind if I posted his application?

Attention everybody. The new Ender Farm is up and running. it is more eeficient than the old one and takes up less space (told you Wire). the tp to it is loacted when after you enter the end you turn straight right and follow the large hallway. You will pass an underground tree farm (I know they wont grow) and walk through a 2 high tunnel till u reach a room with 2 chests. step left onto the Tp plate and tp to the farm. comes with an item Burner, enchanting table, item storage chests, community chest for crappy enchants (diamond only) plus 2 modes. Kill mode=death to enderman. Xp mode=enderman on 1 heart meaning 1 punch will kill them. u dont needa waste ur weapons.
Have fun and dont grief

[Floyper]

feel free to make suggestions for what could be added to make it more practical (besides an infernal enchanter, i need way more bookcases) but please dont build anything without asking me. this took me ages and i dont want someone coming along, messing with the redstone and fucking up the spawn rates. i had to go over the whole build 20 times to make sure there was nowhere where they could spawn or tp that i diditn want them to.

I have played with BTW since version 3.0 (2011) But have not played for a while. i got bored and wish to reknew my experience in the fun of a community environment

[Floyper]

where the old tp to the new endfarm was is where im going to make a storage place. each whitelisted player will be given several chests. when the new map is constructed (if it is constructed) the overworld will be deleted while the end and nether will remain. all the items u wanna keep u should put inside these chests so they wont be deleted when the world is reset.

Hello, Renamed Server player here.

P.S. Let, I still think my enderfarm is better than yours, based on the fact that punching or any attacking is not required, and the chances of dying is waaaaaaaay lower. People can AFK there for exp without fear of dying. Also, I have no idea how to screenshot in MC, so presenting any suggestions is currently not possible.

actually you cant AFK for more than 20 minutes at full hunger and fatness without dying. so unless yours is extremely high yielding, i think let's is better :)

[DiamondArms]

Let's farm needs you to punch the endermen to death. Too manual, and somewhat risky.

the other issue is that some of the other sections of the farm allow endermen to teleport into them.

Having toured the place and getting killed by a lagging enderman, I think it's pretty unsafe for a mobfarm.

It would interest you to note that i am not done with my farm yet. I have gone over it at least 30 times looking for possible places where enderman can spawn and so far i have found 6 blocks that i intend to fix as soon as possible. and with most farms you can have efficiency and practicality or you can have safety. i dont care if people want to use yours, i made this farm as a pet project and i use it because its faster.

[DiamondArms]

At this point, I would ask "Why not both efficiency and safety?"
It's certainly feasible, without taking the whole build offline.
frankly, it would be easier to implement in your build than mine, but you seem to enjoy punching endermen.
I'll look into adjusting my design to be more convenient.

on a side note, how many spawning pads do you have?

[Floyper]

roughly 16-20 of them. i think the reason they work a bit better is beacuse as soon as the enderman spawn they are pushed off instead of wandering around for a bit. and yes i talked with Wire yesterday and he had an idea for making item collection and so on that could be easily implemented in my design so i am still working on making it more effecient

Experience with BTW: Well I've been playing Better Than Wolves since version 3.93, or that's the farthest I can remember. The farthest I've gotten is The Age Of Wood Tier 6: Pottery, according to the Better Than Wolves wiki. I would've have proceeded to the next age, but a glitch with turntables prevented me from making a crucible. That, and I left the server for reasons I can't remember. I continued to play on my own but it always felt empty, with no one else. That's why I went into SMP when BTW became able to do so. I've also haven't played in a while, so many new things to discover!

Other: And if it helps, my building style is medieval. At it's latest pre-industrial.

Questions: What do you mean specifically by cooperative? People living in settlements together? Public farms? Or people just generally helping each other out if they can? I apologize if this seems ridiculous, but I'm just curious.

[JakeZKAM]

We've got a main spawn town called gringo town with public farms, lots of player houses, ect. Basically it's that you can help other people if they ask for it or team up and stuff. No anarchy play or fighting without consent.

[DiamondArms]

Most tend to settle within or near Gringo/spawn area. Some choose to join existing communities outside Gringo, with varied results. And then some ask to be teleported out 20k blocks. What ever suits your fancy is fine. The admins aren't adverse to silly but not unreasonable requests, as far as I have experienced. Gringo has a variety of farms and storage where you can get tools, materials and starting kits.

If you do get whitelisted, Please stop by the suicide booth in southern gringo/Far end of the town. I'm collecting Player Heads for a mausoleum in the future. Fresh players are ideal for feeding the Tiny Monster I've created. Binding yourself to the nearby steel beacon is advised, for convenience in using the Kill-Box.

Don't player heads not drop? Or is there a plugin?

And if so, what are the chances of aforementioned drop?

[DiamondArms]

Vanilla: Player heads do not drop under any circumstances

BTW: Player Heads have a chance of dropping on player death. chance is boosted(extremely, maybe certainly) if a saw and chopping block is cause of death. which is exactly what the Kill Box is made of.

[jecowa]

Could you explain more about the custom-built map that you are considering?

[PK_420]

We would simply re-gen a map with LargeBiomes, we then will limit the size by deleting a large gap around from bed to sky, discouraging people from going further out.

'Custom' is not meaning much, only that I may re-use parts of the old map, copying them with MCEdit (Especially the spawn area, Ryo's dungeon...), I am also planning on keeping The End (Confirmed) and probably the Nether (Still unsure)...

The map we are currently using is getting big and very randomly explored.

For the moment I will encourage regular people to vote until Saturday,
If the vote passes, I'll schedule the map switch a week in advance, so we can warn people to save their precious items in a designed storage area in The End which LetEatDonut made for us, this will also give us time to get the new map up and running.

A map reset would also help us experience the Early Game in all its glory :)

Any Idea is still welcome...
Thanks for all the support,
And as Always, Have Fun! :)
