I know I haven't been on much lately, but I'd be willing to help rebuild Arkyoto since I never got a chance to build anything on the old server.

But we still have to wait for Neocraft to update right??

Sweet. Hopefully most of the mods I use get updated in the next week or two.

I thought this was kinda cool. My branch mine viewed via rei's map.
I like how you can see the bedrock level of the mine going the opposite direction of the current level I'm mining.
Damn nice mine. You make a fellow dwarf very proud!!!

If you haven's seen it yet, check out the railway I built down to the mine. I believe you'll approve of all the extra detail I put in to it.

i would like to join arkcraft but dont know what I need to do.
Also, I'm playing on survival mode and have just started playing in the nether region. My question is what do you do once you've pretty much strip mined all of the glowstone near the spawning point? I'd like to create a new spawning area to begin exploiting more glowstone resources. However, I don't know the exact mechanics involved in how strategic placements of portals work. I have close to an entire large chest of glowstone blocks, not dust. I'd like to increase my amount if possible, but I don't feel like taking long hikes before finding any veins in the upper or lower areas of the nether. Please help.

By the way, if you guys plan on rebuilding Arkyo, (Shin-Arkyo) here is some advice from my experience last server trying to build that place:
1. Find a mountainous forested region.
2. make small lots.
3. don't build 100 pagodas.
4. Don't waste any space.
5. No windows.
6. Think modest, and organic. Try to incorporate the terrain, rather than change it.
I think it's a dope idea.

1.3. I downloaded the update earlier today.

Server's still running 1.2.5, which is why you're unable to connect. The short answer is that you'll have to wait for the server to update to 1.3 (Actually I think it's 1.3.1 at this point)

Just a lil update on the new City me and Crazy are tinkering with. Firstly I have decided to scrap the name Future City. The name for the new city is now Neolantis which seems kinda appropriate. Anyway I have done a few quick renders (seriously bloody rendering this stuff takes way too long) :-
This is the rail station to Neolantis, you can catch the train from the Amusement park and it will bring you all the way here. The journey is quite long though (even by rail). The track is about 5,000 metres in length.
Neolantis in all her glory, approaching this vast city as you should (by boat).
I will be keeping the server continuously night time from now on because Neolantis looks pretty damn gorgeous at night

That was my long answer, though I didn't know if it was against TOS or not.
I'm pleased to see that it was updated so quickly.

Very awesome Charlie. What program are you using to render these?
Well, that is what has been linked to on the minecraft forums when people were requesting/linking to minecraft.jar files. Posting the jar files isn't allowed over there but that seems to be.

There are several ways to get 3D renders from minecraft. However at the moment I am using a program called Chunky :-
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/63913-chunky-minecraft-mapping-and-rendering-tool/
It's pretty easy to use but since it is in Java the renders tend to take a while. Each of those screenshots took about 10 minutes to render at 800 x 400. So you need the patience that I clearly don't have

The server die, or just my internet?
EDIT:
Charlie just crashed the server, that is all.

Well I started it pretty much after I finished Dome City (completed 06/05/2012). So Neolantis has taken me about 3 months so far on and off (and it is nowhere near complete).
It was done in creative mode simply for expediency. The whole city rests inside a 300 block diameter crater if I had tried to do Neolantis in survival mode (like I did with Dome City) well lets just say I would still be on the first quarter of digging out the crater

Looks awesome, Charlie.
In my news, The Torch construction has begun. I'm filming it and I've finished most of the shell for the Torch itself, as well as for the arm connecting it to the mountainside. I'll post some pics in a bit, but it will be my new storage room and smelting station. I still have to do a lot of decorative work on the outside; build enough furnaces to cover all four walls (I've done one so far); get enough stone to replace the dirt used for the shell; build the ladder base; decide if I want a brewing station at the bottom; build all the double chests and signs to lock them; connect the Torch to the rest of the fortress with a new path and either courtyard or tower; and then host the official torch lighting ceremony.
Lots of work to do.

Hey dudes. Just popping in to say that a good friend of mine got her mansion design featured in a video for Planet Minecraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0apJP8ZA4U&feature=player_detailpage#t=155s
It's at 2:35, in case the timestamp doesn't work.
I should really try and get back into MC, I haven't touched it in a while.
EDIT: You know what? maybe I'll try getting back into it sometime this or next week. If it's ok, can someone PM the server info to me?

Welcome back, Beef.
Hm, I tried, and it won't let me connect. Is it because I updated everything?
If the patch came out very recently and you just updated, that would be why. The server takes a little while to update since it relies on safe, working builds of the updated mods for each patch.
Best thing to do would be to downgrade to the patch the server is running on, unless you feel like waiting

Well I've been gone this long, I guess I don't mind waiting a bit longer.

I've been out of the game for a while, my internet degraded to the point i couldn't play anything online at all. It's fixed and slightly better than it's ever been. I might hop back on this weekend. Wonder if my castle project is still there

Where on the server was it at? We might be able to tell you if it's still intact.

After months of being on hold, I finally continued the Mineshaft build by starting the task of decorating it. First up is the carving of the pillars surrounding the area.

Episode 18: The Torch (Part 1)
Now you can see what I've been working on on the server lately. This is going to take forever to finish, lol.

You might want to whack that through the 3D renderer called Chunky, I bet you will get some impressive scenes from it (seriously Chunky is dead easy to use and you get some gorgeous results).
Now onto the matter of the Neocraft map ........... (someone hand me a gun). Ok me and Minsc have been ping ponging ideas back and forth all day. He was able to get pigmap to work properly on his Mac whereas I couldn't get it working properly on the PC (damn discrimination if you ask me). Anyway I spend the past couple of hours tinkering around with pigmap and I FINALLY got a fully rendered map and it has been uploaded.
Now before you click on the link there are a couple of points to keep in mind. Firstly the map is now 180 degrees opposite to the Tectonicus Map, this is down to pigmap and there is nothing I can do about it. Secondly there is no "most visited" data on the map, it is just a basic isometric map of Neocraft I am afraid.
At the moment I am using the Sphax BD texture pack to create the blocks, but if anyone has any suggestions for a texture pack that would be better suited to the map then feel free to suggest alternatives.
Now without further ado I give you the Neocraft map :-
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18837300/world/Neocraft-default.html
Let us know if you have any problems.
P.S Mengy you might want to give pigmap a go it managed to render this world and came in at about 1.5gbs. If you need info on how to set it all up I can pm you.
Little question : What do you use to edit your videos ?
Charlie :
Thanks ! now i'll have many new things to visit
Works fine, even if it does not have all the options of the old one it is still better than nothing.
