Yes. But. Who else cares about our little world? :C

Peter, convert & attach yourself to the Minecraft code. Awesomeness.

edit: OH GOD, NO!!! F' that, please don't, otherwise all kinds of exact, pedantic stuff will start happening... :-@

Hooray, the FTp thing would be grand and most bodacious.

 

My IP is dynamic, but in practice it's been the same for the past year or so, even after the tiem I forgot to pay my bill and got disconnected and had to wait a day to reconnect, so hopefully it should stay the same.

I like your maze, but I have no friends to let me in :(

 


Also, the TUNNEL OF DEATH is now open. The scariest, most dangerous place in all of Minecraft. Monsters, darkness, strange bumps in the night. The wise will stay well away, the foolish will enter and risk it all for the glory of success. Dare you be amongst those who make it through alive? Available at Warp location DeathTunnel.

This place is turning into something akin to a WoW forum.

Argh, all this is sounding quite tempting. How much is it going to cost me?

It has a better interface (if you put it in Explorer view style) than Filezilla.

Pete: I ran the output file (11.7MB) through PNGCrush and it came down to an amazing 11.0MB - not really sure what options I should be playing with in PNGCrush to get the best results. If anyone has experience with it and feels like giving me a bunch of command line switches to use I'll try them on future Maps.

I /NEEEEEEEED/ this game. The map reminds me of Transport Tycoon Deluxe.

I've got optipng here, which has lots of fancy settings hidden behind a single compression level parameter, so I've shoved that up to maximum and will see what it comes out with. (It's taking a while!)

It would be good to get something that can also do palette shrinking.
I did a quick export from PSPX, and an 8-bit image 256 colours is ~6.7MB and looks ok, (whilst 64 colours gives ~3.6MB but looks a bit crappy).
Can't remember anything specific that combines the two, but I'm sure someone will have done it, so will have to have a look tomorrow.

Converted the PNG to a JPG with IrfanView. Quality setting was 70 and it's gone from 11MB to 3.49MB. Quality is still perfectly fine.
