I'm in, my main computer is in the "shop" at the moment while the graphics card is getting replaced under warranty. But, I do have my laptop which will sorta run minecraft.

Jasoco said:Maybe Exano should be clearer. Don't QUOTE the post. Just click QUOTE and get the URL. The post literally says "Quote this post". It should say "Press Quote to see the address of the server."
I'd love to volunteer to lead stuff, but I can't guarantee when or how often I'll be on since the internet I'm using is kinda flakey. Plus I've already found a shit ton of gold and diamonds when I was strip-mining earlier.Exano said:edit- that was weird, previous post didn't show up for a good ten minutes, I thought I had never made it. Accidental double post, my bad guys.
Branduil said:I wonder if rain will actually have a meaningful effect. Will it start creating water source blocks if it rains long enough?
BooJoh said:The way beds/compasses are intended to work is like so:
Compass always points toward your original spawn point.

Successfully sleeping in a bed sets your spawn point to that bed. If that bed is destroyed before you click "Respawn" then your spawn resets to your original spawn.

Barberetti said:Bolded doesn't work for me. I'm probably going to have to get an editor and change my original spawn point. Don't really want to do that, but not much choice it seems :s
I was talking about single player. The respawn button shows when you're dead.Ranger X said:This is for in multiplayer right? 'Cause there's no "respawn" button to be seen in single player.

Quick, everyone tweet that to Notch. If he's adding weather it'd be the perfect time to add it anyway!Eccocid said:Ya know what would be awesome? FOG!!!
Ever tried to play MC with the lowest view distance? Reminds me of Silent Hill! lol
Besides it makes it more difficult!

Notch said:Wolves get wet in the rain. Crops will get watered. Anything else it should affect?
Notch said:I'm not making it solidify lava, as that would ruin all surface lava structures when the first rain hits. But it does put out fires.
Notch said:Higher odds of catching fish while raining.. Good one.I'll try making it fill small holes with water, but it might be annoying.. brb
jeb_ said:@notch How about arrows flying shorter in rain?
Notch said:I'm getting so carried away with this weather.. Adding thunder now.
Ranger X said:Yeah but "distance fog" wouldn't look great. Would give more of a N64 feeling than anything else. We would need properly done fog. Volumetric fog if possible.
Ranger X said:I am super excited to see him inspired like that!!

I'm getting an unknown host error when trying to connect to this server. Is it down or an issue on my end?Exano said:Yeah..sorry about that guys.
We'd love to have you all hop on, the more the merrier. Also looking for leaders to volunteer to handle aquireing more land for the two starter factions
I'm working on a wikipedia along with Mikor atm. It's crappy, but its what I got finished tonight and im tired. Hopefully it'll get the basic idea of the server accross.
Also, if you quote this post and look inside of the text, right HERE is the server name.

Blizzard said:My only fear is that performance will get worse with weather effects. If there ends up being some sort of performance improvement that can get a constant high framerate even with fancy lighting, that'd be amazing.
Yeah, I honestly agree it's high time Notch devoted some development to optimizing that piece of shit rendering engine he's got in there, though part of me fears it's simply because java is inherently an inefficient rendering language.Blizzard said:My only fear is that performance will get worse with weather effects.

Chinner said:so in single player ive got a base but i died and the coordinates i wrote down are wrong (?) for some reason. anyway i can find it or am i stuffed?
I THINK Mikor did thatVlad said:Grargh!!!
So yeah, this whole Factions thing is going to be interesting.
Quick note of advice to anybody, if you're planning on freelancing or just don't know what faction you want to join, make sure that you don't build directly next to an existing faction's turf ("/f map" shows marked territory). Last time I logged on, I had my little shack/quarry set up right next to AOF territory. Next time I'm on, I find my shack has been annexed by AOF. Can't even get into my chests! Thankfully, there's no penalty for joining and leaving factions yet, so I just join AOF, grab all my stuff from the chest, then leave it.
Flim Flam said:Dug myself a tunnel in the factions server and it tapped into a natural cave. Exploring the cave a bit lead me to this.... natural lavafall?? Never seen one this massive or graceful before. Its actually quite impressive
KillerAJD said:I THINK Mikor did thatWhile I was mining he was going crazy claiming land, lol. I told you we'd get back at you! That's for defecting! Also, the weather looks amazing so far, but I'm not sure if I like the rain texture. Still looks like the one he used way back when he first messed with weather.

Flim Flam said:Its never too late to start! Minecraft at its core is pretty simple really, and you catch on quickly. If you feel the need to prepare before jumping in, visit youtube and search for minecraft tutorials, theres more than enough info there to get anybody going.
After getting your feet wet, check out the minecraft wiki, it is a great compendium of game knowledge.
