Then how about.. playing Stalker or WoW? :-@

 

I reckon the next level is the multiplayer thing where you can take on huge projects :D

Hmm, like I said in game in lags like crazy for me. Like 30 seconds up top several minutes between me doing something and it actually happening (including sending messages).

If I ping that IP outside the game it just times out. Might not have ICMP enabled though?

No, it was more to do with large areas of ground vanishing in front of us - massive 20x20ish empty blocks straight down, but that you can walk on the top of :D

... and now it's fine. But I'm getting dicked by a spider.

Be nice to have some mods on there. The teleport mod is particular is nice.

Odd. I could see your messages when you said them on the server, but they didn't appear in game for /ages/. That would suggest the PC running the server was slowing up, but the server was only using 400 meg of RAM and CPU usage never went over about 60%.

 

My router looks like it might have been going a bit crazy, though. Showing only 2% of RAM available :S

And yeah, my router doesn't respond to external pings.

There is one difference: the number of players.

(uh... and the number of bugs)

I suppose so.

Yeah, seems to be fine until there's 3> people there then the lag goes crazy :(

THink it could be my router... or my PC. Or the fact that this is all done in fucking Java :@

 


Router says:
Load Average
17%
0.23, 0.17, 0.10

 

Might give it a reboot just for the hell of it.

The number of players involves many subsequent differences, many of a social nature.

For example if I am collaborating with someone on building something very far away from spawn and I stupidly fall off and have to walk all the way back there from the spawn point, I am not only inconveniencing myself but them as well.

I think teleport is a reasonably compromise. It only allows you to teleport to another player. It's also nice for going round having a look at what people are doing.

Yeah the java thing really doesn't help.

I saw a pick on the floor, spent ages trying to pick it up then Drew ran past and whisked it away!

and I suspect Kos pushed me in a hole!
