i hope they add emerald tools in a later on update.
I hope I can make my spare change into pickaxes too. Unfortunately, it's for buying stuff, not for swords.

ALVAROGUDIS posted a message on Change Your Minecraft Name? Possibly In The FuturePosted in: NewsQuote from Reec3ty
I'm sorry, but I despise this idea of changing names. Sure, I regret my name, and more so down the track because I chose it from what bullies used to call me, but honestly let's look at the pros and cons of this.
Pros:
1. You can have a cool new username.
Cons:
1. Server Owners can't ban you if you change your name.
2. It is morally confusing for people to distinguish you.
3. It's going to cause many problems down the track, whether system overloads at Mojang, or debates of innapropriateness.
This is why I don't condone this new idea Jeb brought to mind, it's just plain horrible and will lead to a new level of griefing.
but what if you ahve a base name that's whitelisted, ect...and a second name in chat? A server admin would somehow be able to find your bannable name, and it would work then....right? -

ALVAROGUDIS posted a message on Yogscast Responds To StatementPosted in: NewsI think I know why notch got so pissed off at yogscast. It's because they showed off a lot of mods in their presentation and notch notoriously hates mods because he feels like they undermine his work. This is what I think anyway.
Actually, that's false. Somebody from Mojang even mentioned work on a mod API -

ALVAROGUDIS posted a message on Yogscast Responds To StatementI've been staying quiet, but now that I've heard both sides, here's what I think (because everyone cares and nobody seems to have an opinion)Posted in: News
First of all-I'm assuming Notch and the Yogscast both believe they're telling the truth--Notch has always given lots of details on his blog, and the Yogscast seems also quite reliable.
Also, remember: Notch posted his statement short le after the Into the Nether party, making and he even said he was tired. So anything he heard could have been grossly misinterpreted.
The Yogscast waited for their jet lag (and Simon's con-flu) to go away before making an official statement. Theirs is more likely to be true. For one thing it does admit some things and gives reasons. It is also more likely to include less misinterpretations because of their state compared to Notch's at the time.
Therefore, I have to side with the Yogscast. Notch may have been out of it, and I still am not going to hate him for it. It's twitter, and I think part of the cool thing about him is how he will say almost everything on his blog or twitter. This is one of the ugly byproducts of it, but in general, it has made the community more vibrant, and feel a lot closer to the creator of the game.
So don't blame Notch too much--part of what I think the beauty of the game is, is itself a result of his openness. -

They're very orange.
I dunno, it look purdy.
And do linear. I need somebody to make my decisions for me.

OK, silverfish are another story, as is pretty much any mob that messes with my environment. My point was a genetic algorithm that defines difficulty of mobs, etc..for the spawners, which seemed like the main issue. Of course, these attributes would have to also apply to the dungeon, but if I'm (hypothetically) designing this, I first make my spawner generator.

It's tough, but I think it's doable. So, let's start with custom mobs.
Instead of using math.random ten billion times, instead we use a genetic algorithm. With different effects, powers, etc, we get a difficulty level of a mob. Have that thing go around a few thousand generations, and we've got ourselves an original mob (or thousand.)
Let's say a dungeon comprises of a random number of rooms, defined as, say, having 4 walls, at least 2 exits, and a random number of spawners/cube, and hallways connecting them.
So, path generation isn't horribly tough, that stuff is fairly common, so I won't go into that. (edit mob AI, make it delete it all.)
Define a room's difficulty by spawners, with mob effects, some kind of rating for them, then, once again, our old friend, ye ole genetic algorithm appears. By getting rooms with different levels of mobs, we get a completely original room with its own mobs!
Basically, this is tough, but it's more doable than you're making it out to be. But genetic algorithms are weird.

People will post here to talk about maps, and sometimes if they release one, but you're probably just popping up at an unlucky time. I've started a map in 1.6, and it's still in progress. While others aren't quite that far behind yet, it typically will be at least a month after the update. Hell, we're still talking about how the 1.8 updates will affect things. (I know nothing about what was added)

As you probably guessed, I haven't been working too much on the map.
As you can also probably guess, I've started working on it again, as I'm actually putting stuff up on the thread right now. Job was making it hard to do anything. Now I have college, which is easier (?)
"area 3" is still in the works. There's been a lot of progress there, maybe I'll throw a screenshot up. It's about 1/2 there, as far as all the building goes. That being said, I've set up a server so I can work on the map between classes on a fancy little laptop I got myself, and a server I'm running, so as long as windows doesn't crash, I can get about an hour of building (with a trackpad. Right clicking is quite the chore now) a day.
Basically, I promise I'm not dead. I'm gonna try to work on the map, no promises. Also, sometime soon, there will be screenshots.
Also, did I mention the upcoming map's gonna be...like...not a minimap?

you think I beat that? lol.
Then again, I only have a mini-map. I'll pretend that that makes me better than everybody else now.

well, this is awkward. After fiddling around with a lot of settings, I was able to get it working...but I'll totally remember this for the future!

oh my, that's really nice. I'm probably going to play around with my settings a bit more, but how is that thing not more commonly used!?

I used to run my own, back ~1.6, I think. The only real issue I'm having is port forwarding, and I've managed to still crash the server from my reasonably powerful rig. This would be still running from that, if I set that one up, just I'd be accessing it from a laptop more often than not. Also, how much control do you get as a user? Ideally, I'd want to be working with practically a remote desktop, where I can use console commands like some omnipotent god/admin of the server.
Their processor is a bit better than the one I'm using, plus it's (probably) dedicated, but I also have college internet going for me, which, when my computer is plugged in, is very good. (on this laptop, with a mediocre wireless card and just wifi, I get ~1.75 up and ~.25 down) and when plugged in, is a lot better.

would anyone want to test one I'm working on? It's nowhere near ready yet, but I kind of just want to test the waters. I've been feeling uninspired, and want to get back to the first mappy-map I made.
