Screenshots(! ! !)

[Bad^Hat]

I built an underground tree farm and the first few that popped up were literally just 4 blocks of wood with no leaves. Log back in later and suddenly they have foliage.

Yeah, it's a bug.

WHAT IN GODS NAME

(I haven't logged in for about a week now)

 

[kineaesth]

I built it just for you

 

[YROC]

Not even a full stack of tnt was able to take it down. I only dropped it a few levels.

 

[kineaesth]

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO BLOW IT UPP

IT WAS A SPECIAL GIFT

 

[YROC]

BECAUSE IT BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE PYRAMID. I'LL REBUILD THREE SQUARES TO THE LEFT.

 

[Bad^Hat]

KA did you really build that because it looks suspiciously like a corrupted chunk C/D

 

[Vegeta897]

That's what I thought until I just looked at it closer this time, and I don't think dirt would appear like that inside of a cave.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Yeah it might not be a cave at all, but rather a mountain overhang. My area had them.

 

[kineaesth]

I was joking, you fools, of course it's a chunk corruption

 

[Bad^Hat]

More to the point, does a single chunk like that "know" what's it's supposed to be a part of, or is it just an errant fragment without a purpose?

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

It might not be perfect. I think the level generation usually knows how to continue seamlessly from a chunk in one direction and therefore every chunk has at least ONE normal edge, but that chunk looks like it isn't a continuation of anything.

EDIT: Actually it doesn't even look like a whole chunk! I thought they were bigger.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Same size as the one that popped up in Morgan/Alex's place.

 

[Vegeta897]

Looks like 16x16. Seems about right.

 

[YROC]

yyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh

Everyone in the chat was hatin.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Yeah.

Better view.

 

[YROC]

What did you use to film?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Just Fraps.

The server was lagging so badly earlier that, when I managed to reconnect, I saw myself.

Oh hi there, me! What're you up to?

Ohhh, the stuff I was doing 10 minutes ago? Nice!

 

[Raziaar]

Finally you guys get to experience what I experienced on Hokey's server before I swapped out my ethernet card. Disconnects, inventory resets(I had a shitton of those), location resets... seeing myself when I came back in.

Muahahaha.

But seriously, I hope they fix the lag issues soon. They say they're known, and doing something about it, but we'll see. I've been getting steadily demoralized about the whole thing.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Well, before the server went tits-up, I redid my video.

[CptStern]

how did you build the structure under water Pi? or did you build it and then flood the area?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I built the basic frame underwater, then filled it with dirt, then hollowed it out.

 

[CptStern]

sounds painstakingly slow ..but what else ya gonna do in minecraft? pretty nice set up you have there

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

It's getting there. I'm keeping it subtle.

 

[CptStern]

ya too many people make all sorts of complicated structures. my structures are mostly windows. and now you've inspired me to put the windows to good use. notch needs to code fish/sea life into the game

 

[phantomdesign]

What is that map plugin in the video?

 

[lord_raken]

PiMu
The grass in you video extends to the sides... I still have that bug where the grass is only on the top of the blocks. It this a single player issue?

 

[CptStern]

you can use the painterly pack to get grass textures that have grass on the side. I think there's 3 lengths to choose from

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I use the Quandary texture pack, and the MrMod gives me the minimap and a nice AO renderer.

 

[AtomicSpark]

What is that map plugin in the video?

It was called Simple Map before being merged into a mod pack called MrMMods. I hate mod packs, but at least his lets you choose what to install and doesn't force everything on you. Also you wouldn't even know that the Simple Map comes with it since it's no longer screenshotted in the thread.

Behold! The Pi-aduct!

Nice landing pad on the Mountains to the right, how did you make that?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I'm not sure which bit you mean? There's a bunch of weird geometry in this area, including several free-floating bits. I've largely left it all alone, though. Everything you can see in that shot occurred naturally.

 

[CptStern]

didnt know notch had worked in arch physics into the game. someone should model ancient rome

He's referring to the cloud sticking out of the mountain.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I wondered that, but then assumed that he couldn't actually mean that, because everyone has seen clouds before, right?

 

[Vegeta897]

He was joking.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

It's so hard to tell these days. Old age, you know.

Looking for a way to quickly head west? Look no further than the Western Underground Waterway!

(It's not quite complete yet, however it IS worth exploring)
