Putting my server back online due to poor land-use practices on Duh's server.

Here is my plan. I am eventually just going to run several instances of Minecraft on my host. Not many, maybe three or four tops. I will add them as servers become full. In my opinion it is better to have many servers instances instead of one giant map server.

The main reason I say that is because Duh's server got crowded really quick by people taking on big projects or using up lots of space. My philosophy is confined space means people will use the space more intelligently. This will also allow people to do different things on different servers.

Perhaps we can have a 2D art server, a tunnel-rat server, an above-ground building server. Not to say that the servers cant have them, but they can specialize. The 2D art and tunnel maps could potentially be of niche value to certain users.

Anyway, that's just a thought. The current server address for my one server will be as it always is:

Doh! Whitelist script is broken. Hold please.

Nice plan. So, care to whitelist me? My user name is areku, unsurprisingly.

After a silly error of mine was found, should be good now.
Here's the new script if you haven't fixed it already.

If you're willing to whitelist me, this time, my username is 3POK_PHALE.

Please.

Fixed! Continue to request whitelist.

Bump. Oops.


The Thorvian Coliseum is reborn! Very much incomplete.

Whitelist plz. "Hyperkultra"
Wow, that was fast.

List me bro

It notifies users in game that you have been booted due to lack of permissions : ] Very nice little script.

Whitelist please, Captain_Kicktar.

Massive wall of lava incoming!

It kicked me because of server lag I think

You aren't alone, everyone crashed. THEN I MISSED THE REAL ONE!!!
I have some pics of the first one though. 56K beware.















Then it crashed.

I would really love to be put on the white list.

I'll contribute these first, since they are relevant:





Amazing lava torrent. I'm not usually a fan of lava tubes but the scale of this made it epic. 512x512x100 map being flooded with lava. It's a miracle it only crashed once.

You can thank this anomaly to Eric's oversight in at one point removing the lava, then trying to re-add it and only doing a 2D flood fill. The tunnels are still there but they lack the--power--that they had previously.

That having been said, here's an update on the Thorvian Coliseum.



Second set of bench seats up on pylons. Skyboxes to come.
