I left the server for now.

Was infdev ever re-enabled? I'm kind of itching to implement some circuits, but in survival it's a serious pain.

Dunno.
But.
What do you guys think of my textures?

Zoomable map renders. Discuss.

Slow as an ♥♥♥hole, but pretty nice.

How does that work?

An ♥♥♥hole can't really move at all, so you'd say it's slow. In that logic it's slow, like an ♥♥♥hole.

Not bad, but too blurry for my taste. Try reducing the color gradients a bit.

Agreed, I like the skeleton part.

Two Ghasts and a shitload of zombie pigmen.

Someone named "TR" griefed the server, particularly the signs at the spawn.

Restoring backup.

Several things whitts:
1. If you generate a map image, I can make something pretty like this thingy if you send the original png to me, and in fact can make it have day and night mode as well if you generate both of those images.
2. If you send the map file, I can make it prettier and higher res at the lowest zoom level like-a this.
I know both are somewhat impractical with the size of the map being what it is, but you can also take the third way out, which is to:
3. Download this map gen and set it up yourself with a batch file I can create for you. That will take about as much time as alphavespucci or cartographer at first run, then remarkably less time every render after because it caches the chunks and does not bother rerendering chunks that haven't changed.
4. If you want to make the map look a little bit more square, I have someone's .jar file that has the server generate extra chunks by itself. You'd need to shut down the server while it does it and wait for it to finish before you could start it up normally again though.
5. You should totally give me VNC access so I could do all these things for you while you're off doing whatever.

server seems down...
