Re: (PHCC)Minecraft server

[Vergil]

I am a terrible person and haven't done any work in two days because XCOM is amazing. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

[O. Hinds]

I've discovered that my inability to play multiplayer Minecraft on the college network is not just the speed; apparently the network security system despises the sort of open exchange between client and server that online gaming uses.

RIP CAKE SHOP

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

Got a question about grave. Up to Chapter 10 in FoE going over the deaths.

Problem is I have exactly three names and two of them are not names. We have the unknown Earth Pony in Chapter 3 in the hanging cage that gets blown up by the slavers. We have the chapter 8 Train ponies who are a dozen strong and slaughtered to the last pony. And last we have Memory (No last name given) Silver Bell's sister.

I known Memory deserves a grave given how recently to FoE she died
(Unlike the stable full of named ponies who die to the insect/cat/rattlesnake monsters).

But how do we handle the dozen train ponies none of which are named, and the single un-named pony in the cage?

FoE gets more deadly later on to be sure but the first twenty chapters have very little collateral damage. And I want to give a fair accounting of Littlepip and not make PH look like the murder fest it isn't, just as many people die in the story at this point just PH dead ponies always get names.

the dozen or so ponies are easy just write unknown guard on a dozen stones, if you want them to be that many, memory is fine. the one in the cage i have no clue

also the cakeshop is my fault, I uuh am not that smart with flint, I was eating cake and ended up scrolling to flint and steel while eating and caught the place on fire. Now before you yell at me for not punching it out, i did not know you could so I kinda just watched it burn... it was not on purpose, although if you mention it, I will laugh... its hilarious in a bad way and I am sorry it happened.

[Ketchup]

It's fine, Admiral.

[Cptadder]

FYI, we blew up your tower Kipper we all had fun doing it and are totally not sorry.
Video tomorrow!

Harm if you can read this, we moved your gift to the 5th floor above the Throne room, everything you need is inside Blackjack's thinking room to re-create your masterpiece.

[Necr0maNceR]

Heh, I'll have to be online the next time you guys do this, looks like a lot of fun

You should use fire on my temple next time though, It will be much more awesome!

[Cptadder]

Current projects updates are go
Castle Whiskey is near competition even if one of it's towers is lopsided. The servants quarters are nearly done. The Angst brigade rooms just require decoration and labeling. The Throne room is done and the Royal apartments just need decoration. The four towers must go higher but aside from the Royal Distillery I'd call the Castle about 25% away from completion

The StableTech building has been started by Harm and is coming along nicely.


The Casino, Bank, Hotel, Citadel, Subway, Temple, Cake shop, outer ward, dockyard and more projects are completed inside the city itself.

[Harmony Ltd.]

I have received complaints that the Stable-Tec Headquarter was going to be "too damn huge", a "waste of floorspace" - as well as complaints from the Citadel's denizen that it was going to dethrone them of their record as "highest building in the City".


Well, do not fear, citizens of Somberville, for as soon as the mods are going to get installed, a large part of it will be transformed into a state of the art Stable-Tec trademark Manufactorium.


And as for the Citadel, well... It wouldn't be the first time they vertically expanded, isn't it ?

I thought it was brilliant when I saw it you even had the vault tech logo... awesome!

Tell the others suck it.

[Harmony Ltd.]

The modpack that will be used is going to be, as soon as it is released for general public use, the "Feed The Beast" modpack.

It involve the mods listed on the following image : http://www.allsrequiem.com/SlowStreamImages/FTB_The_Modpack_Forum.png

Major mods involved :

- Buildcraft 3
- Industrial Craft 2
- Red Power 2
- Forestry
- Thaumcraft 3
- Railcraft
- Steve's Cart
- Computer Craft
- Equivalent Exchange 3
- Extra Biomes XL (==> include a Wasteland Biome :3 )
- Ender Storage
- Portal Gun

And finally, the one that's going to change the dynamic of the game quite a bit unless we put some hard limits on what everyone is allowed to do with it :

- Mystcraft

[Harmony Ltd.]

Because the question has already come up a few times, I'll say it on record : The reason why I, personally, am pushing the server to use a yet unreleased modpack, instead of using Tekkit, the "Proven And Available Solution", is quite simple :


First and foremost in my opinion, Tekkit / The Technic Pack is made without the active support of the mods developers, contrary to the FTB ("Feed The Beast") modpack. What this mean in practice, is that one is provided "as is", and you can only hope for the guys behind Tekkit to fix bugs when they occur ; when the other has all the mods developers behind it to rush and correct bugs when they happen. And THERE IS going to be bugs, especially when you start to mod something so heavily, the thing being that they will be solved relatively quickly in one case, and not at all in the other.

Secondly, the FTB modpack contain mods that aren't contained in Tekkit and which will really add to the game, such as Forestry (making Farming Fun !), Computer Craft (Program robots to accomplish tasks for you !), Extra Biomes (Yay Wasteland Biome !) or Mystcraft.

And finally, Tekkit is an incredibly heavy resource hog.

Tekkit does include Computer Craft, actually. Neat that FTB has Mystcraft, though.

[Necr0maNceR]

Spoiler:

Ah yes, I am familiar with most of those. I've seen "feed the beast" type maps before as well. All the different automation and programming and stuff available in those mods will definitely allow us to make something more Fallout-y. It'll be a LOT of stuff to get your head around, though. Also, I personally hate equivalent exchange. EMC makes things too easy. You can even reach the point where you never need to mine again! With that plus the other stuff it offers, the server will eventually turn into something that is basically just a creative map

Eh, oh well. The other mods are cool. Many of them require new materials that we will have to go far out to find, so we can load new chunks...

Or at least, that WOULD have been the case, but Mystcraft solves that problem for us, fortunately. That's a relief. All in all, I'm looking forward to having all those mods, except Equivalent Exchange.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Worst come to worst, if it's possible we can always ask Adder to disable Equivalent Exchange on the server. That should be possible.

And I would be okay with that, to be honest. Once you get enough diamond and glowstone to make a Collector, it's just a matter of time and nothing else before you have practically infinite diamond.

I mean, I know how to build relatively inexpensive systems with Equivalent Exchange & Red Power that produces 1 diamond PER SECOND. With an initial investment of roughly ten diamond, EMC-wise. That's a bit too ridiculous for me.

[Necr0maNceR]

Absolutely. It takes the fun out of things. Plus, some of the other tools emc provides, like the rings, are WAY too powerful.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Hopefully, Equivalent Exchange 3 is going to be seriously nerfed. At least that's what I seem to understand.



Now, what's going to be fun regarding the Fallout-y aspect of the server is the Tainted Areas from Thaumcraft.

[Necr0maNceR]

Indeed. Thaumcraft is loads of fun, and those tainted area will fit quite well. Plus, at least one of those mods has a nuclear aspect, right?

[Kippershy]

Industrialcraft has nuclear power generators.

[Harmony Ltd.]

Yes it does. It even has honest-to-Goddesses Nukes, but given the population of the server *look in the direction of Kipper, Adder, and the Admiral*, I think it would be better if Adder checked the option in the config file of Industrial Craft that disable nukes on the server.


At least for the first month post mod-install. When everyone is settled and has taken the mods in their hands, maybe we can create a Mystcraft age dedicated to playing with nukes against each others.

We'll have to see about that.

[Kippershy]

Nawh, we should be good with nukes.
Do you know how much work they take to make? A lot.

[Cptadder]

I know (Rum) someone who (Rum) has the free time and the (Rum/Tyler) motivation to spend ten hours mining the materials necessary to build a nuclear missile.

[Vergil]

Industrialcraft has nuclear power generators.

You have my attention

[Harmony Ltd.]

There's literally nothing simpler to make than a Nuke (bomb) in IC² :

Spoiler:

[Kippershy]

Any clue when this mod pack is released?

[Ketchup]

There's literally nothing simpler to make than a Nuke (bomb) in IC² :

Spoiler:

Uranium is also found at all levels, so it's really easy to find, especially if you can use a nuke. We used massive mining holes made from nukes on one server. Good times.
