I don't know. Never used it before on this system. [I'm on my work computer.] I'll look around and see what I can find.
EDIT: iMovie appears to edit only already existing movies, and the other one I found is for webcams, not for images from the actual screen.
Did a search online and I'm only finding ones that I'd have to purchase. Might have to transfer this save to my home PC and use Fraps from there if an alternative can't be found.
When I experimented with live streaming minecraft I used CamTwist. I'm on a mac.
It's a free program, is fairly lightweight (all these screencap programs run somewhat heavy... there is no way around it).
I think it was actually intended for screen recording and not livestreaming, but I've only used it for the latter.

I'm kinda feeling this way too. I played some SMP with a couple friends last night, and while it was fun, it still falls way short of single player or creative MP, and the current flaws are wide-sweeping enough to impact every facet of gameplay. Building, mining, crafting, exploring, and surviving (lol) are all really gimped or nonexistent in the game's current form.HappyBivouac said:
I'm looking forward to playing a more feature-complete version in about a month or so, but I can't help but feel that Notch shouldn't have caved into the pressure to release it so early.
I don't think so... the maps are generated from a random seed as you explore during the game, but I'm pretty sure the save files are basically big arrays of the block layouts (maybe with some kind of compression on them).Blizzard said:
That reminds me -- it would be cool if server admins could somehow force map generation to run during "off-hours" so it wouldn't eat server performance when players explore in-game. Maybe you could give it a max filesize cap, and let it generate as much of the map as it could fit within that space.

Multiplayer is definitely fun as hell with 20 people, you can really see how awesome it is going to be when it's nearly caught up to the current single player mode. Right now it's kind of pointless to play since every server I've been on seems to reset the maps once a day, so you end up spending three hours building a huge castle and it's gone the next day. I'll be nice when it's stable enough to play on dedicated servers that doesn't reset for months and months on end.

It's awesome, but yeah that's kind of how I feel. I'm probably gonna run a private server for myself and friends once SMP has caught up with the single player, and probably have people's home bases spaced out across the land. I like that better than a single huge "city" where everyone's buildings are just mashed together. That way if people wanna write words in the sky or whatever they can, but we won't end up with a giant cluster of stuff people have built with seemingly no design relationships or coherence.
Are there any monsters in multiplayer yet?
I have a feeling once the online stuff is working much better and there is an official GAF server things will be a little bit more planned. I'm sure there will be some neat abstract projects though(I hope so). Right now the online stuff is still fresh and new, and people are just experimenting with various things.Kuran said:

Multiplayer right now is nothing more than a glorified creative mode. I'm sure once the official servers are up people may be a bit more reserved in their design. Right now we don't have things like creepers to worry about, so everyone is just running wild.

Alright, I'm back from a two day internet blackout. Any major changes to the game? Any improvements to multiplayer? I know he was going to be out of town, right?

I asked this in the online thread but I doubt it'll get any responses, maybe somebody else knows:
Happens when I try to make and join my own server.
java.net.socketexception: network is unreachable.

Yeah, although even in single player the enemies aren't really threatening enough to influence my buildings too much besides putting doors on things. I think things like glass, stone, and stairs will have more influence on people's designs.Pinko Marx said:
Well they randomly came back weird... maybe I was just in a place devoid of all life for a bit :lol
I changed the difficulty to peaceful for a bit and it is a lot easier to build stuff... I may stick with it until I am done building my bases.
I did use it to cheat a bit though... found a dungeon... changed the difficulty to peaceful... went in and took the treasure

I think there is some randomness to mob spawning, so even on difficulties other than peaceful you get droughts sometimes. I had one that seemed to last a few days in the game. But that was version 1.0.13 or something. Hasn't happened since.ZZMitch said:Well they randomly came back weird... maybe I was just in a place devoid of all life for a bit :lol

Picked up a Dead Space skin for my duder.

And my HQ, at the bottom of the hole I found, where I do most of my smelting and store the goods.

I change it from normal to peaceful all the time. If I am carrying a lot of loot from a cave or something I refuse to lose it. I think the mobs are too strong in the game. I wouldnt change it but I am a chicken. :lol

Maybe you should talk to Oatmeal and migrate the save from his server onto yours, that's if he can't sort out his server issues.Borman said:

Finally learned how to place blocks out front of me without dying. Its all about taking it at angles. You cannot approach it walking forward, you have to go to the corner of the block and then walk at an angle. Works every time. It would be nice to be able to do it easier somehow.
Edit: Right after I posted this I fell to my death :lol

I've set up a private server and it works fine. Sometimes the server is kinda busy because of lava or other stuff but I use the ServerLauncher Mod to have a whitelist for users and items. There are also toolkits to summon, cool stuff.Borman said:
Download the Server files from minecraft.net and then use this: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1012&t=23127 (be sure to use the jar file and not the exe!)
BTW! You are not stuck @ IP-numbers. If you use some DynDNS service like I do you can use these as well. Works like a charm.

Speaking of redstone, can anyone tell me how to do some simple setups? I've seen that chart with all the boolean logic and stuff, but I know nothing of that shit.
Another question: can I destroy a chest and move it from one spot to another without having to take all my items out? I have a few chests I wanna move, but I don't want to lose the items in them.

The mobs really aren't too strong. The worst for me are skeletons and spiders for the ranged attack and movement speed. The rest are pretty easy to not get touched by. When you're going up against a room full of monsters just wear a full suit of iron armor or better, with an iron sword or better.
Last night I was exploring a cave and came upon this cool little area of intertwining rooms and short tunnels, and I swear I had to clear out 5 or 6 creepers, 3 skeletons, 2 spiders, 3 zombies and about a thousand slimes. It was tons of fun slowly sneaking around corners and just being tactical about it.

Loving this game so much, I've played this more over the last few days than starcraft 2 and Dragon Quest 9 :-D
Done a few single player games, got my snow world, and have created/deleted a few worlds until I have a cool one now with some huge hills everywhere that I'm starting to establish a pretty decent mine in.
Logged onto the multiplayer server, damn gaf, you've done a good job! I walked randomly for about 10 minutes, and I was still finding castles and mines :lol
Is the only way to get gunpowder to kill those green hopping baddies? How do you get it in multiplayer if there's no mobs?

Protip: Always carry a bucket of water with you, especially when mining deep.
I was mining a cave in single player, doing pretty well; had a nice haul of gold and iron. Then I hit a lava river and was trying to navigate my way around it until I missed a jump and caught myself on fire. I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find a source of water that I had just passed a few minutes ago, but no luck.
I respawn at night, head to the home base to quickly craft some items to get me back to where I died and made a MAD DASH back to the cave.
Most intense minecraft experience I had. Creepers and skeletons were OUT that night. Shit was scary.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I just lost a FUCKING MASSIVE haul of items. A goddamn skeleton popped out of nowhere and sniped me. Fuck I can't even remember which cave I was in now.

Man, I haven't got to play this game for about a week, but and there's probably another week of no playing. Lame.
