Other than the backup and Restore, this took all of about 30 minutes. Which was mostly getting the OS onto the new drive. Swapping the HDD was so flippin easy its not even funny.

Sup folks

X-Posting this from the other thread This isn't a project that will be quick at all. Setting a date is a great idea for the initial setup. But after that its going to come down to individuals working their asses off Having done a few projects on this scale in the past, I would say we need to set up a few things before the actual building. We need a resource gathering group. A Mining group to clear out the build areas A design group So there will be overlap here. We will also need a central rail-yard to store all the materials for building supplies of which we will need a massive amount. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So here are a few things to think about. You will want 2 rails. One for leaving, and one for entering. Monsters will NOT spawn on half slabs or rails. If a monster is hit by a minecart, it will die, but it can also eject the rider from the minecart, and can potentially kill them So I recommend using half slabs as walkways along the rail line. Not to mention proper lighting, fencing, and gating. If you want to double your ore count, we will need Crushers and Furnaces from the Metallurgy mod. Crushers take ore, and grind it into 2 powder, which will then give us 2 ingots http://metallurgy-4.wikia.com/wiki/Crusher Whatever design you all want to do should be voted on and then use for each branchline. For this,I recommend everyone going into creative mode and designing a space like this: wall | walk | rail | space | rail | walk | wall Then post screenshots here Mining for this will take forever. Seriously, even in creative mode this will take weeks. I think we should all stick to survival mode for this though. It will make it feel more like an accomplishment. Lastly, I think we should also try to map this out on the Dynmap. Take a screenshot of it, and then just draw redlines everywhere that we want something. If that makes sense

I will post up some tips for rails and cutting down on mob spawning in rail lines after this meeting Via the FG App

Just so you all know, you can repair your gear in this game. Either through Repair Talismans Combining 2 near broke items of the same type. You can make an Iron Block to repair items on. You can also put chainmail in a furnace

ITs already added in, so checking it out means learning what the blocks and recipes are

If we want to start gathering all of that in one place it would be easier when we all start the project Level 20 is good, its just above diamonds, but below most everything else.

So, if I was you all, I would work in order of this for which mods to check out and explore Vanilla Minecraft (this means the core game) Metallurgy Project e/ Natura/ Harvestcraft all others Protip: If you see a fruit tree, instead of chopping it down. Leave it, and harvest fruit when it grows for free food Also, here is a guide for Metallurgy

x: 1324 z: -563 y:80 If you all check the Dynmap, did a quick label job for every house I knew off the top of my head. I didn't do all of them as removing them is a PITA Also, its weird getting started on my own house

Taking a break from spawn, and looking for a spot to make my own

Map is done rendering. I need to go to the spots that didn't render (The black bars) and force them to render

Dynamp is up and I am testing it now http://198.27.83.113:31500/# See in this picture how there are 2 Forever Gaming's? You all want the one at the bottom, not the top one. I will remove the top option as soon as I am able. You can also click a players name, and it will zoom in on them. In this image, I flew directly west of spawn. I am at the worlds edge on that side. So you can see how much is left to generate. The Pre-Render is happening for the main world right now. I will check the space needed for it, and then look at doing the other worlds. (if we have the space) There is a chat box at the bottom of the screen in the lower left corner, you can talk with folks as I mentioned

Dynmap, is an IP based map for servers. IT allows you to open a web page, and see a map of the entire discovered world in the game. Since I already pre-generated the world, it will show everything. It also allows players to chat while not being in the game as well. In order to save server space, I would only render a "Flat" map, but there are options for a "surface" map as well which does a 3/4 down view to show height. Those files are pretty big though. The files have been uploaded, and I have already spoken to the host about showing this, so I have the info I need to move forward with it all. However this is just a test, I want to make sure that putting it in game doesn't eat our HD space.

I branch mine in resource worlds, but strip mine in the main world. Typically because I will use the resources for building, as well as the cleared out space.

Because thats how it was programmed. It doesn't make sense but it is what it is Via the FG App

Several things about our "Resource world" I will reset it once every 1-2 months. DO NOT BREAK THE FLOWERS AROUND THE PORTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't recommend building a base there that you dont' mind losing DO NOT BREAK THE FLOWERS AROUND THE PORTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Set a waypoint as soon as you spawn into the world. The world is small, only 1000x1000. This saves us diskspace and what not. but you can still get lost DO NOT BREAK THE FLOWERS AROUND THE PORTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel Free to Demolish everything. EXCPT THE PORTAL FLOWERS If you break the portal flowers, you run the risk of closing the portal. Then I get to fix it, by creating a new portal to a different area, and trying to reconnect the two... I'll probably just end up leaving you there to sort out life in the forest All of this also includes the flowers near the portal in the main world.

Portals going up at some point tonight Via the FG App

A friend lol, its just a flower, nothing hidden. He just wants friends Via the FG App

Lee is correct, even if he voted Tory

YAY he wandered back into the spawn area.

Running costs food, yes it burns more than walking. Waypoints do NOT teleport. I am unable to change this. However what they do is show you where something is, and how far away you are from it. Teleport commands that work /home - teleports you to your home /sethome - creates home point /back - teleports you to the location you recently teleported from /spawn - teleports you to the server spawn for that dimension /warp {name} - warps you to the location you named, you set hte names, you can have 3 /setwarp {name} - works like set home

On a whim, I decided to Fill in every chunk on the server. Until this process is finished expect Lag spikes I am also looking at running Dynmap on the server. The problem with running this is the amount of space it takes to show all of the data. Dynmap is HUGE, it saves every 16x16 chunk as a PNG file, and it eats HD space like candy. I need to play around with the settings some more and see if we can get around that somehow. I will say this though, in 4 years of using Dynmap, I have never once gotten it to not be a bitch about HD space

I will take a jaunt down there and try to find this hole. Also, its had to say whats down south, or in any of the regions that haven't been explored yet.
