jennoa Posted October 20, 2010 While Tabacco is fixing the new server I can let you all download the latest save of the world. So you can play with it in single player if you want.http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8326218/minecraft/worldBackup.zip Thank you, I was going to ask for a save of the old world before the big reset actually.

tabacco Posted October 20, 2010 Nearly there. By the way, the new server will be running the old world, until we decide whether to reset or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted October 20, 2010 Nearly there. By the way, the new server will be running the old world, until we decide whether to reset or not. Correction: the server lives. ysbreker wasn't able to save the config for the server, so if you see a setting that needs to be changed, let me know. Also let me know if the performance seems awful or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) It may be a little slow, I'm compiling Python 2.7 to try and get that mapping tool working. Edit: It's probably not going to happen. The prerequisite list is a little nuts, and I don't have time to build everything it needs right now. Edited October 20, 2010 by tabacco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaneda Posted October 20, 2010 I installed and used that mapping tool on my PC but I had trouble getting one of the pre-reqs to work with python 2.7 so I installed 2.6 and its fine. I did have trouble getting the command line to understand my output directory so I just used "." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted October 20, 2010 I'm fine with people not liking pixel stuff. It's the dismissing it as "easy" or "lazy" that I'm not cool with. Working out how to do it in a first person interface was fun and as difficult as any other structure I've made. Basically, what I'm saying is that if elmuerte were my kid, he'd be up for adoption, and if I were his kid, I'd be legally divorcing him.

Kaneda Posted October 20, 2010 I'm running the google maps mapper tool thing on the backup of the server data now. Do you want the output putting somewhere so people can browse it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orv Posted October 20, 2010 you guys see this?http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1360135433/minecraft-net-is-down-because-of-what-i-believe-is-an To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised this hasn't happened before. With the amount of raging internet douchebags who think forking over 10/13 euros/dollars allows them to own Notch's soul, I'm fairly surprised no-one has gone "FUCK YOU, MAKE THE GAME OR YOUR SITE DIES" before now. Meh. Internet. It's full of fools. Edit: My earlier thoughts hold true, but it seems it isn't an attack. Also, on the first post about it being an attack (before he figured out it isn't), the comments are, for once, less filled with rage, and more filled with Star Wars jokes. . . .What? Further editations: It was an attack. I remain amused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted October 21, 2010 Courtesy of Kingzjester, we have a very friendly donation page up and running! http://minecraft.idlethumbs.com - All contributions go toward helping to pay for the server. For reference, it currently costs me $30/month, but ideally I'd like ot be able to move up a tier for more CPU/RAM for $40, and donations could help make that happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted October 21, 2010 Cool, sent a little and will do it monthly. I take it that URL still works to connect to the server in Minecraft too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, this all sounds like extra incentive to not run it on the same box. If you put it somewhere I can rsync the files from, I'm happy to host the final result though.
