Be Excellent To Each Other

Creepers are the most fun

Getting jumped by a creeper and skellie at the same time is one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Beteoworld has scared me more than any game I've played for years.


But yeah, fair enough. We seriously have to do a full-on survival mode one day, though, from scratch, in beteoville. After backing up, obv.

Nobody's touched the tools I left! Sulking commences now.

If ever bukkit actually works *faints* we could do multiple world, maybe the same map, one world with mobs, the other without.

Well, not sure if you can do that with just one server, TO GUYS WHO WANT NETHER: YOU WILL LOVE BUKKIT!!!(multiworld let's you have a nether portal that works )

You could always try to run 2 servers at the same time, on diffirent ports, one with mobs enabled other without, (you would probaly need a proper server though)

I TOOK A SWORD!

Oh yeah! Cheers! Naturally, I've replaced it with a piece of string.

Arrows now! Also another big crater at the dock. Oops.

Pro tip: A series of erm, incidents has left a small sheer cliff behind the shelter. There is a narrow stairway up if you jump about a bit. It actually works out as a quite effective defence - you leap up to the top, and spiders and skellies get stuck down there. I've left a little sand on the sea-facing side of the house - climb up to the top and you can drop sand on any nasties below, killing them safely

Anyone on/Going on?

At got as far as the pork farm and then got killed getting back to the dock...

but then I found my house and waited in there with the idea of finding enough stuff to make a bed.

Eep. All of the arrows have gone. Huntin' time!

Oh, by the way, if you find a path or corridor blocked with lots of random ... blocks, chances are good that it was me retreating ina panic and dropping whatever I could while trying to find some way to fight off a spider/greenie.

Is there a way to make narrow (preferably) wooden pillars? I can get one block ones by using a single fence (accidentally discovering how to make stuff is great), but I can't build them higher than that. Like stilts.

Also, the animals seem to have disappeared. Do they run out?

Shit! I'm stuck in my mine, cornered by a greenie, with no weapons.

All my lovely work is nearby! I will have to find a way to trick him.

Edit: Welp, that went about as well as you'd expect. Bastard.

That may be my fault. Will check when I'm back on Thursday!

Yeah I couldn't find any animals but I did find a zombie and 4 creepers in my cave/house.... I spent the next day rebuilding it.

Also I made some changes to the safeish house.... I think ideally though it should be built off the ground some more... but it'll do for the moment.

I saw the extension. Cheers! I like the way it overhangs a little. If I can find a way to make stilts I might add them for effect

Question: What's the situation with backups? I assume there's a copy of everything from before this month kept safe for prosperity, but if I start adding stuff now, how safe will it be?

I like the excitement/pantwetting terror of the greenie ambushes, but I also like the shape my mine of lurking horror is taking, so would like to know how far I should go to strike a balance.

I've spent a bit of time wandering around beexworld as a SP map on peaceful (no hostiles) and I understand how SA feels. I feel like the Omega Man, wandering around a ruined city. Everywhere there are chests to loot with things that didn't seem useful in MP (such as coal and iron) but I now have to carefully preserve. The reckless abandon of the millions of torches is quite stunning and finding a diamond pick is like winning the lottery.

I've had a chance to look at stuff that I never saw when slaving on the Mega Lith. It's ace.

ummm, might not have worked!

I am torn between working on a handful of projects (including one that will need you lot to be involved at the end), and knowing how much of my life that will suck up for the next couple of weeks.

TORN.

Cookie! How did you make those pillars the shelters are resting on?

Edit: Ha! The combination of a deep crater and very narrow sea wall has created a great emrgency greenie trap. In your face, kamikaze brains!

Re-edit: That is, until another one creeps up behind you while you're admiring your handiwork. Oh dear, I really should stay underground.

Re-re-edit: And then, while trying to stop the flood caused by that, you're swept down into the crater with the second one, whose explosion opens a hole that happened to be covering up a narrow pit to the centre of the earth.

I fucking love this game.

Simple! Place a few block in a pillar, place a fence on top, remove the block under the fence, place a block, and so on!

Should do now! Animals are back on too.

It pleases me to see SA beavering away in my computer during the night!

Dunno who'd make a hole like that

You got warps.

Have you been round and placed them everywhere? kthnx.

Oh yeah, I was going to give you the warp list, wasn't I?

Yes pls - the plugin I chose is hMod warplist compatible.

Thank you!

Yay animals! It occurred to me the other night that in minecraft, you're actually the villain. Think about it - you're turning up on this unspoiled wonderland, and immediately start defiling the land and murdering all the harmless animals. The skeletons and that are actually the heroes, risking their lives (and the greenies are happy to GIVE theirs) to defend the land.

Yes, I have been having trouble sleeping. Shaddap.

Watch out - the client has just been updated, but the server hasn't, so don't accept it yet.

Oh bugger... I already haz! oh well I'll try down grading again!

There seems to be some item glitching. I lost a pile of charcoal earlier, now some flint.

It's asking me to update. When should I update?

If you can fight your way to the megalith, there a many diamond swords in the chest near the entrance to the deep mine.

When Kalmar says the server's been updated.

Updated it, it's the official one.

Don't tell me that! It'll be no fun if I can just nick all the best equipment from the off. I've uncovered a load of stuff anyway, but I'm leaving it because my mine isn't finished yet.

I also found a couple more portals people had built after playing the map single player. Interesting no?


and the server is FULL!!!!

I'd better get a shower then!

Full? Only me and SA on there.

Full? Only me and SA on there.

" I love this Pc game wanna play with it!

And about two thousand monsters.

I've been attacked by no fewer than ELEVEN greenies in the space of as many minutes. I wouldn't mind, but it's all the same spot, and with the terrible lag I'm getting, even when they don't surprise me, there's nothing I can do. Half my mine is in ruins already, and it's impossible to repair when they hit an ore cluster

This is just irritating now. I like having the occasional one in, but it's impossible to even repair the damage they do before another four show up. Combined with the lag it's close to unplayable

Reet, me furnace am set up. It's set in the earth under the stone road inland from the glass shack by the dock (phew). Behind the mobile, a bit.

Help yourselves to building supplies (try not to completely empty them if possible) from the marked room.

If you need a specific material or item, there's a wall in the workshop where you can place an order, and I and anyone else who feels like joining will try to get it for you. Feel free to deposit materials, but please don't use the items in the workshop unless you're collecting an order.

WE SHALL CIVILISE THIS LAND.

Oh, and steer clear of AEI mine. Way too dangerous. I'm going to tool up and greenie-proof it this weekend. I lost count after the fourteenth one attacked.

It's just crazy! I've lost times of the number of deaths I've had. Crazy I tell thee!

Kalmer, do you by anychance have a iPhone or an android phone?
This looks good

That looks pretty neat! Unfortunately it's android only and I have an iPhone.. There's probably another one which works on iPhone though, somewhere.

Hmm, that's only a remote-restarter I think

Oh yeah, Can I invite everyone to go and have a look at Sinister Agent's mine & workshop area? It's down a hole near his shack (behind the giant mobile at the default spawn point). Follow the signs.

By the way, there are wolves now. They appear tame.

I was taken on a tour. Looks pretty awesomes! I've been trying to get a pig killing thing going near cookies tower 2 but I can't get it to work very well. I did managed to farm more pork mind but just not as it should have worked.

As a project, I've set up a server on my home connection. Through the Hamachi VPN (the recommended method for small server usage) it works, but is very slow.

If I try to connect directly from work, it doesn't work as the port is closed at this end. Sigh.
