LOL at 08.13 "HOLY CRAP, look at all those mobs". Loled rest of the video...
I hope its ok I put this in video-section first page and link to your thread. I want to know if you survived the night... XD
Haha thanks, you can use my video wherever :tongue.gif:
I DID make it through that night, but my period between episode 2 recording and episode 3 recording was living HELL, I was blown up SOOOOOOOO MAAAAAAAAAANYY TIIIIIIIIIIIIMES.
Episode 2 will be up later today haha, I'm glad some people like it! :biggrin.gif:
Was going to use the server version and pre-generate a large land mass then carto it to send to the mapper but the server wrapper is no longer supported. Will check if another way is possible today.
Is there anyone that can throw up a server? I run a server from my laptop just for me. While it is a beefy laptop I doubt it could handle lots of peeps working on this map without some lag. I have a 100Mbps/100Mbps connection to my home so maybe it wouldn't be an issue. I run vanilla, ie no mods what so ever.
100Mbps up? That's the main limiting feature for servers.
You're not playing on the lappy at the same time right? There are a few things that can be done to make the server run well but it depends on how comfy you are messing around with technology.
As a systems administrator for a hosting company, access to personal servers is a fringe benefit I have and being a lover of this map, would love to run a server for us all with it.
I'm working right now, but when I get home tonight I'll start work on setting it up.
I'm also planning on setting up a webserver on it so I can have cartograph generate an image of the map every so often that you can access via a URL so we can show off our world when we get it rocking!
I'll also be doing automated daily backups, should anything bad happen to our world that will give me a way to easily restore it.
From what reading I've been doing, it seems like a whitelist would be our best means of keeping the trolls away. Let me know if you have an opinion on that.
Anyway, I'll post the details here later when I have them. In the meantime, PM me your name if you'd like to be added to the whitelist as soon as I get it up.
EDIT: I'm also going to need some moderators - if you think you'd be a good moderator, let me know. If you have any experience moderating/admining minecraft servers, that's a bonus but not needed (i'll be learning myself and we can learn together.)

A Golden Notch for you!
Also, it would be nice to have some protection system going on to prevent theft and greifing in the spawn area, it would be nice to keep the nature amazingness of this seed untouched.
Keeping player builds to a max size and limited "Town" locations would also help...
also a place with PVP would be nice.
I agree with a whitelist.
I would also gladly take the spot of a Mod if needed.
Well I was going to put it on our main game server but if someone else is going to do this I won't bother setting it up. I would be more than happy to be a mod since I am familiar with the commands. I took it down off the main server since someone got whizzed for who knows why and trashed everything so I got tired of messing with babysitting. :sad.gif:
Yeah I do have a 100Mbps/100Mbps fiber to the home connection. We run game servers from our home. I know what a bunch of geeks! Looking forward to playing on a server with everyone!
After turning on wirecraft and digging around my surface dungeon home I found about 5 dungeons, looked off in the distance and saw 8 dungeons in the distance all at once in the screen (when I turn around there is another 6), there are so many dungeons just around this place that I don't think I will be collecting coords without help

Thanks for the tips... I'm not new to minecraft nor servers, but have yet to play SMP - so I'm not too familiar with problems like theft and such... how are these problems usually addressed? is there a goto mod everyone is using?
Sounds like you have some good ideas on how we can protect our world and if you want to help, we could probably use you as a moderator.
EDIT: I'm debating whether I should look into protecting our world from griefers with the use of mods or whether it would be better to only have a small server with a trusted group of people and let anything go.
I have tried to run a server before, so have done some research into it previously. It seems one of the more popular server tools is Bukkit. I personally was never able to get it to work the way I wanted, but then again I was only toying around with it.
From what I have played, the most used way of grief protection is a command that you type in "/lwc -c private" then you click the block you want to protect, but this is not the most effective.
I have never tried running a server, and I do not know what people use to add these extra commands.
What i think is the best way to protect from griefing is to nerf creepers, fire-spread and TnT, adding a command that mods+ can use to select a certain region and assign it to the region owner, only the owner or mods+ can edit blocks in this area (Great for peoples houses, and the owner can also type /grant player to grant a buddy access).
The one thing that is going to be a huge draw to this server is what this seed has to offer, great scenery.
With almost all servers you are going to get people who make makeshift eyesores on the highest spot they can find, if these are being built it ruins what this server is for.
Best way to keep the great look of this server is to protect land marks and to create "Towns", towns would be the only place players can build a house (it keeps the server looking neat and tidy, also keeps players grouped up in a smaller area then spread out into the (-)1,000s).
Players can create under ground mineshaft where there is no landmark protection (Underground stuff really can't be much of an eyesore)
The server should also have arena's, PvP, Spleef, Races, Wolf Wars and anything else that we can fit in to be fun.
Currencies are nice to have, I would suggest using something that can not be gathered (So an item that is useless and would only be gather-able through spawning, I would suggest nerfing slimes and making slime balls the currency) that way we can create a nice realistic economy.
Some people don't like economies in minecraft so a vote on would maybe necessary.
I hope some of those ideas help, I will look for the things these servers are using to create the added commands and such. I think Bukkit is one of the things I heard was used to add some commands.
Also, I wonder if we can move some of the houses of the people on this thread into the server.... or at least spawn ourselves the things to re-create them
Also is this going to be a peaceful server or have creepers etc? I know some here prefer peaceful mode so may want to vote on that. If it isn't going to be peaceful maybe start peeps out with decent tools, armor, etc. When I ran a server peeps wanted monsters so to help the ones that didn't I gave everyone a chest with diamond tools, diamond armor, a bed and a compass. After that they were on their own. :smile.gif:

Read my post.
Also, I have been to a server with mobs and a health regain, it was like peaceful with spiders and zombies, I would like that.
I didn't want to hijack this thread with all the server talk, so I made a new thread we can use to discuss the details of a server for this world: viewtopic.php?f=1030&t=266851 - please post your thoughts there if you're interested in being a part of it. I really want everyone who is interested in a multiplayer version of this map to be involved in how the server is setup and run.
Haha thanks, you can use my video wherever :tongue.gif:

I have now downloaded Microsoft Expression Encoder and will try to capture me showing off my mansion! ;-)
Why would you want spiders in your house?
You can't really block spiders from coming in when you have an open dog door...
