soo. Minecraft.

HonkyPunch

www.minecraft.net
I highly recommend playing this.
Free, but of course you can get special privileges if you donate.
basically, cube based building...
with 32 player mp
it's pretty crazy seeing what other people have built, personally i've spent over six hours building a gigantic golden tower with a roof garden, etc..

I suggest the gigantic map server. It has a rainbow road. Also, dont go randomly deleting blocks, you will get kicked (ground blocks are ok, but otherwise, leave it be.)

Microneezia

Great game! did you happen to notice the gigantic swastika on the large grey wall inside that <--- Gigantic Map --->Server? haha...rainbows! FunMountain! Giant Head! ... Swastik....wait, what the... whoa.

HonkyPunch

yeah
i dug down and found a secret nazi room
lawl at 4chons

Muzzoid

represent.

HonkyPunch

fuck yes
are you onecircles?

Muzzoid

nah i was muzz but i left long ago though.

HonkyPunch

fair enough.

adam

This is awesome! I wonder what'd be needed to run a server.

HonkyPunch

not much, i believe. they have a clientfor it on the website, i believe

nrek

This reminds me of the old blockland game, now that was an awesome game. The new un-lego version is kinda meh. http://www.blockland.us/index.asp?p=Media

Hourences

This is awesome! Especially when you are a level designer

Kinda similar to Cube/Sauerbratenthingy but more accessible. And apperantly one of the ideas is to make a zombie game where you first build a fort together, then hold off the waves. Awesome potential.

bounchfx

hahah blockland! I lived with the guy who made that for a little while I was interning at gg. funny you bring that up.

nrek

lol wow thats pretty awesome bounch.

adam

minecraft is awesome. I'd love to get a Polycount server going.

bounchfx

not sure I understand the point but I love how epic it is and that you can pretty much just go and do whatever.

is there any goal?
not that there has to be, just wondering if I'm missing anything.

we should totally have a PC server - can you import custom Block textures?
also, if we had a PC world, would it stay persistent?

HonkyPunch

yes, worlds are persistent cause you can save them, and you can import custom textures for player models if you donate, not sure about block textures.
the goal is to build shit, obviously, but in the future their will be survival mode (dig around, build a house, hunt animals, live)
Zombie mode (build a fortress before the sun goes down, then zombies arrive, fight them off)
few other modes i cant remember

eld

someone get that polycount server up!

adam

Soooo I just so happened to run in to 00zero on a server. We were bored and decided to go with this (we ran in to an invisible wall if you're wondering on the choice of words):

HonkyPunch

haha, who's manchild?
I remember being in a server with him and he got banned for being a dick

HonkyPunch

if you dont want random people joining the server, you could get the admin to build an indestructible prison at the spawn, and have a password to let the player out of it, ya know

00Zero

lol. thats adam. yea we need to get our own server going. it was fun

oobersli

awesome game. I have a destructive personality and tend to spend more time being a dick destroying stuff.

00Zero

if only this had physics

oobersli

agree. So many times I've destroyed the base of a tower hoping to see all the people above scream for their life as it falls. lol. really though i think one of the blocks atleast works with gravity. think it was the sand type block.

adam

Don't different blocks do different things when placed next to other blocks? I thought the sponge block removed water...

nrek

What would we need to get our own server up? I have an old comp just sitting around that I could probably get something going on, if thats how it works.

Vrav

Haha, I joined the server where they wrote polycunt and got banned immediately before even saying or doing anything. <-Gigantic Map-> or whatever was cool until it disappeared last night, tons of crazy shit there. Interested to see how the game evolves.

00Zero

John Warner

This game is awesome. I might set up a server.

anyone playing this?

adam

Warner I play it every night. 50/50 build or stealth-griefing.

Last night I was so ninja about my griefing, I had the admins convinced another fella did it and they banned him instead.

Vrav

Niiice. This is me, http://www.minecraft.net/skin/skin.jsp?user=vrav
Never seen anyone from here! But did randomly encounter someone else I knew.

00Zero

im playing now on half/half anybody want to join?

Jesse Moody

i'm on half/half now ghostfacekiller....

John Warner

I dunno if it's a good idea to post my IP on the forums, but for tonight, i've got a server up at

http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=196.168.0.101

Vrav

That's a local IP... there's a server in the multiplayer list called Polycount Server, but it doesn't connect. Ports perhaps?

John Warner

whoops. looks like that... isn't working? I'll figgure it out here..

John Warner

Ports.. hmm let me check.. my port should be the default, what ever that is..

apparently the link to the server is this:

http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=ad66ea79c67f493e00f9c11083a70fe5

but it aint workin.

John Warner

http://www.minecraft.net/play.jsp?server=192.168.0.100&port=25565

that work?

edit -- doesn't look like it.

John Warner

WELL. that was a frustrating waste of time. there's a post on the forums of a guy having exactly my problem.. we'll see what comes of it.

Pope Adam

this g ame is excellent. I'm Adamw3d. I'm 100% griefing. Ban me if you see me cuz i'm coming to tear down ur bloxz

adam

Anyone using applets for speed running/noclip/flying/etc?

Jesse Moody

Adam do tell more please.

adam

There's, apparently, Java applets out there for doing different things with Minecraft. Technically hacking the game but whatever.

I already use one so I can run the game in its own instance and not within Firefox so I am looking for other stuff to add to it like I've seen others do.

Pope Adam

fun!

00Zero

i wish there was one that didnt restrict what you could do based on distance. so i could stand on one corner of a level and just erase blocks all the way across.
