I can see my ittty bitty house now, woo!
I can also see that I forgot to improve one of the corners, d'oh!

Took about 40 minutes but it did finish this time. I'm uploading just now.

 

Some boring server stats:

 

World maps are now coming in at just shy of 30MB, due to people who love to go exploring.

 

The World files are around 160MB (size on disk) over 37,296 files.

 

In the last 24 hours my router has uploaded 2,527MB, I would suspect that 90% of that is the Server. This is a bit less than the normal 3GB a day since the server went online :S

Hahah, omg :'D
I haven't really explored until now, and I won't start really. I'll just stick to mining around the areas that have already been explored.

Is there some utility that will trim maps down? I'm just thinking that a couple of large chunks of the map could go away without anyone ever noticing.

I can specify which area i want it to draw, I'll do that on the next one and just do the main build areas.

Sorry, I meant trim the world, rather than just the map. Cut off the explored but unbuilt bits and keep the file numbers down.

Ah, right. Probably can do that, but not much point. It's less CPU intensive to keep it as it doesn't have to worry about regenerating those bits if/when they're needed. Meh, I don't really care -it's only 160MB!

 

I'm still thinking I should look into the hMod thing where you can put the world into a MySQL database for better performance and more reliable saves, but I'm not sure if you can move existing worlds to MySQL or if you have to create them in MySQL from scratch. :\

Is it just me or is there a bit of lag today?

Still?

 

I noticed a lot of chunks were failing to load earlier and itw as being laggy so I restarted the server, but might need to reboot the PC I guess :\

I'll give it another go, but I think it might be needed.

Any better?

 

And lay some road deck on my bridge :C Stone, not cobblestone ta x

I cannot find my penis :'S

Where is said bridge?

warp to thebridge

Is the latest Minemap supposed to not be working?

Bridging? It's working here :S

 

Ant: (hug)

it's small (yj) and over to the far left

Anyone know why I can't upload a new skin on minecraft.net?

 

I do the upload and nothing seems to happen/change :/

Just an idea, but I reckon it'd be nice to move at some point. As in get everyone to start on a fresh piece of land by maybe moving the spawnpoint or something. Leave all the old warps intact, so we can still y'know, but encourage our little 'town' to grow by providing a new centralised unspoilt space?

Jon reckons you can group warp points too, so maybe we could group all the current ones together as mc1 or whatever?

Obviously this would have to be more of a social agreement than anything else as there's nothing to stop people just warping back and continuing over there. But it might be nice to provide a focus to more grand building projects collected into one area again. Not yet, perhaps, but soon.

What do you think, O Koswix, King of Mineland?

That's how it currently works I think, they've removed the skin applet for now. Should work though (seems buggy in game - it often won't appear to you (except straight after respawning, for me at least) but everyone else will see it.

Unless they've just taken the functionality down again.
