Let's Play:
Hello, miners! Do you love the ? Do you wish that you could see characters like Simon & Lewis adventure through towns and cities you have built? Would you like to be a character like Old_Peculier or PirateTinman?
Well look no further!
Introduction: Hammerfall is a small server that intends to develop a story-based Let's Play (or LP), similar to the Yogscast. First of all I want to clarify that we are not affiliated with the Yogscast in any way. We simply love their series and believe that working together as a community to create a similar story would be exciting!
What we have planned:
Yogscast follows a specific format... the players build something really neat together behind the scenes, and then the heroes record their adventure through it! We would also follow a similar structure of development... some players would build a town together, and then we would record an episode there! We already have some unique areas planned, we just need people to help in certain jobs...
What jobs?
Specifically, a story-based Let's Play requires five different types of players:
Hero
Builder
Actor
Architect
Narrator
Heroes:
The heroes are the stars of the Let's Play. Simon and Lewis are examples of heroes. The requirements for being a hero are the highest.
Builder:
The builders are the muscles of the Let's Play. A builder is responsible for constructing the towns / castles / mazes the heroes will travel through during their adventure.
Actor:
Actors are also important. They help the heroes with quests and can be used to drive the story. Old_Peculier and PirateTinman are examples of actors. Actors only talk using the in game chat.
Architect:
Architects oversee each builder's construction to ensure the buildings conform to a specific theme. An architect can also be an actor or a builder. An exceptional builder will be bumped up to an architect.
Narrator:
The narrator tells the actors when to start certain events (via private messaging) and make sure the story-driven sections of the Let's Play end up in the correct order. They also correspond with the architect and tell them what style to follow for each area. An exceptional actor will be bumped up to a narrator.
I want to help!

Hi,
my ingame name is Silod & I'd like to join your server. My playstyle is building and exploring, sometimes I want to fight too, but I don't like kiddies, griefers, hackers & noobs. Recently I've built nothing because I stopped playing for a while.
I have some questions regarding the server rules:
1. Do you use a particular building style like europe medieval or modern age?
2. You say
are off
but in the rules is written
Try to repair Creeper damage, if possible
?
Looking forward to see you ingame!
Hi Silod! I can already tell your play style will fit well on Hammerfall.
As far as build style, we are aiming towards a more modern looking town. What we've built so far is a lot of smoothstone / slabs / glass buildings. We haven't built a lot yet, though.
Good question! Wardruna just built a "Rules" hut that you pass through on your way from spawn to town, so the rules are a little out of date in my original post (but close enough).
We are currently running Notch's software. We will be doing maintenance and testing tonight. At that point, mobs will be on.
Ok, great! I suppose bukkit is a server software like hMod?
Yeah! Exactly! Normally it works really well!
I actually did some research on bukkit over the past 30 minutes which led me to suspect it's not completely ready. Maybe this will help someone else.
I have used two plugins for bukkit in the past; Essentials, and Permissions.
Essentials contains the commands you would expect to see in a normal server; /heal, /setwarp, /sethome, etc. It also allows you to turn off tnt explosions and lava. It's pretty great.
Permissions allows you to set up user "groups" with specific allowed Essentials commands. For instance, I could have a group called "Visitor" with the "build" parameter set to "false". That way, anybody who joins the server can't edit blocks. In addition to a whitelist, this is a great way to screen griefers!
However... I've been running into some bugs lately.
First, players were not taking damage. According to other users, this is due to the "TNT Damage" parameter removing all damage from players (fall, drowning, etc.).
Secondly, banned players were able to log in again. That defeats the whole purpose of having a ban command.
Both of these bugs stem from problems with the current Essentials plugin. Until the developers get it fixed, we'll be sticking with the normal server software.
I would rather have a server where we are more selective about who we let in (with the potential for lava / tnt griefing) than a server where people we have already banned for griefing can rejoin. Once these bugs get ironed out, then we can have working Nether portals and other neat stuff!
Remember that when we add you to the whitelist, we are placing an investment in you as a player! Don't let us down!

How you like to play Minecraft: Inventions. I like to play around with redstone and water currents, and usually get a lot of redstone in the first few days and just play from there. I love to use Minecarts, so I could help with the railroads, and I love to make boats and canals.
What you have built recently: A giant castle of sand, that, when a block was destroyed, would fall to the ground and assemble into a pyramid. A half-adder, and an underground base full of traps.

What I like to do in MC: I like doing anything really. Exploring, dungeon diving, hunting, and of course building.
What Have I build recently: well on my SSP map, i've created large, intricate cities single handedly. but not those massive cities you see on SMP servers where theres a million buildings and like 3 people playing. that just gets annoying.

Thanks for the review!
Cool! Sounds like you'll be able to help us build our town! You're welcome!

Isn't Hammerfall the old version of the game Hammerfight, which you can get on Steam?
You name stealer.
Wardruna named our town. I think he plays DWARF FORTRESS. It sounds like a very dwarfy name, doesn't it.
Quote from redghost »
what are the server times?
also i would be glad to help with any progects in the city big or small.
For the time being, the server is up when I'm available (I usually work 9-5). Once we get more mods, it will be up more often.
As far as projects go, check with Wardruna. He's our resident city planner!

How you like to play Minecraft: Start with gathering way more resources than necessary and then over to building massive or impressive stuff.
What you have built recently: Some pixel art in another server, few bases for myself and for friends and a giant monastry.
I'll try to add you to the whitelist soon :biggrin.gif:
Actually, Hammerfall is from TSS: The Elder Scrolls series, where one of the games is named Hammerfall. or Hammerfell.
Other than music and political debates, TES is something i know a lot of. Yes, it's Hammerfell. Check out Hammerfall though, they have some crazy good 80's style power metal. makes you feel like a Viking.
