MrHoatzin Posted December 27, 2010 Man, some rad stuff on the server. I should go explore some more before we nuke it. It is really odd how now I cannot base jump off of mountains and live. Will take a little bit of getting used to. So! Do we want to schedule a time when more of us get together and try out a couple of servers? I am PROBABLY free all of this week, no work etc. Who else wants to be there as well, and when do we want to do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squid Division Posted December 27, 2010 The 1st is usually a day of recovery, and a Saturday, so I'd throw that out there just to get the conversation started. 600-900 GMT or so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a purple future Posted December 27, 2010 as mentioned before, i'm unemployed again now so i'm in lock-down money saving mode. that and it's too cold and windy out to do anything. i'm free at any time. as far as i'm concerned, the sooner the better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted December 27, 2010 Any chance of getting a downloadable backup before reset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a purple future Posted December 27, 2010 oh i certainly hope so. otherwise i'd feel terrible that said, it does seem like progress has slowed a lot except for the train stuff, which by the way is amazing and works really well now. that should be really useful if we're going to have to mine a lot, provided we find a way to keep the tracks clean of critters. whichever one of you mad scientists built the launch mechanisms has my full respect. sorry, i'm kind of amped on this. i kind of hope we don't have to wait until saturday?

MrHoatzin Posted December 27, 2010 I think the sooner the better too. And backups will be made, just like with the other world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a purple future Posted December 27, 2010 I say if we can arrange 3-4+ people and herr tabacco is available, we do it this afternoon/tonight. all we really need is people to be around for (possibly) a few rolls to do some cursory exploration and find an interesting world. and hopefully all that should take is an area with some water, mountains, and dirt (not sand) everything else can happen at its own pace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted December 27, 2010 Also, we should look into hooking this one up: http://toolchain.eu/minecraft/c10t/ Seems to be a good tool... We can set up a cron job to crank them out so that we don't have to rely on deadbeat cartographers. They offer binaries, but I don't feel competent enough to try to install it.

MrHoatzin Posted December 27, 2010 I left you a .tar.bz2 in your home directory For the record, from the service directory: tar jcvf ~/thumbs_`date +%Y%m%d`.tar.bz2 thumbs See, I've been running this: tar -cvjf /opt/web/lighttpd/thumbsBak_`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.tar.bz2 /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs Which is the same thing... but then it gives me this error after churning forever: /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/ /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/c.-o.2n.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/c.-o.-x.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/c.-o.v.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/c.14.v.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/c.14.-x.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/v/c.-2g.2n.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/ /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/c.-o.-o.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/c.-2g.-o.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/c.-o.14.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/c.-2g.2w.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/c.14.14.dat /opt/services/minecraft/thumbs/14/14/c.14.-o.dat tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors It still makes tar.bz2 file...

tabacco Posted December 27, 2010 Oh nice... I'll look at getting c10t set up tonight. As for re-rolling, tonight would work for me, if it works for everyone else (Cautionary note: I am in California, which is probably a different definition of 'tonight' from most of you ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a purple future Posted December 27, 2010 orvidos, jennoa, kingz, squid division and i are all american. i'm sure we can scrounge a few from that list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted December 27, 2010 I say if we can arrange 3-4+ people and herr tabacco is available, we do it this afternoon/tonight. what's that in UTC? I'm in UTC+1; but I have vacation so I can take a break from playing games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Ugh, boost is an ultrapain to build. it's still compiling, so the server may be a bit slow until it's done. Edit: Whoops, just noticed there are binary builds of c10t. That's much easier Edited December 27, 2010 by tabacco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted December 27, 2010 So, we're going to move spawn instead of starting a new world? Can we clear people's /home and empty their inventories and chests? Item cloning, and item-user reset have been fixed. There should be a clean start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amobius Posted December 27, 2010 I have absolutely nothing to do tonight. Also in california so if you setup a time I will warn the fiance in advance to leave me the heck alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted December 27, 2010 The consensus seems to be to roll a whole new world. Plus, I'm not actually sure it's possible to move the spawn to random coordinates without physically walking there first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted December 27, 2010 c10t works pretty well... http://idlemc.com/maps/map.png and http://idlemc.com/maps/map-night.png (Warning: these are big) I'll work on automating these tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
