  10. Request/Suggestions for a new Cartograph System

    in Minecraft General

    Posted

    ^ I fully agree nickeox. I would really like to see us try out Dynmap again as it is the only alternative that has been proposed at this point. Perhaps just on a trial basis. 

    I'm not really clear on why we take 2 weeks before distributing the Carto, is that to prevent some player advantage or a technical reason?

    This link displays two rendering errors. One is that the corners of steps are improperly rendered, the other is that the black looking walls are actually light grey half brick steps.

    I would also request that at the end of a rev we make a nice render of the map for advertising purposes to at least look like:minecraft_1024_render.jpgMaybe eventually look like this:

    And finally maybe progress to something really impressive like this:

    and this:

    VGLM1MI.jpgThose are my goals, can anyone help suggest how this even happens, even if it requires some work of my own (I have extensive experience with Bryce, and some experience with 3DS Max, and Lightwave.)?

  16. PVE Towns, Groups, Cities, Cesspools, and other place you call home.

    in PvE

    Posted

    I've been on the server for quite a while but am only just now diving into PVE. There's so much going on that after a week I still don't feel like I've seen more than 10% of what it contains. I would like to collect descriptions of the various groups that are springing up on the new revision into this forum to give anyone new, like me, an idea of what this community contains.

     

    So this is my invite for you to describe your town/city/group/cesspool/home below to help users like me figure out where we might fit in!

  17. Checking block edits

    in Minecraft General

    Posted

    Once upon a time circa 2011 this was enabled on Creative. It caused everyone to start playing detective and take matters into their own hands, which actually resulted in more problems than it solved.

    I wouldn't have expected that, but that does provide a good point in opposition to the feature.

  19. A Short Message

    Posted

    I don't think Tharine can be blamed for what other people said about the community...

     

    Edit: I'd prefer a reply instead of downvotes, please.

    ...I meant to hit upvote for your "Edit: I'd prefer a reply", I missed, and can't find a way to undo my vote. So please take this message as my upvote.

    I think if you change any statement where I said "we" to "I" your issues will be resolved, I do not speak for everyone. As I said before, I was trying to explain staff's response, not just my own. My statement was too authoritative and that caused confusion. Sorry.

     

    Focusing on the issues Tharine brought up and whether I feel they need to be addressed. I do not think there is a strong problem of "players vs. staff" from my own observations of Mod Chat. I think there is a strong need for a private place to discuss server issues, and that the subcommunity that has formed around moderating the servers generally carries healthy (non-toxic) discussion. I think Tharine's chat logs show good examples of where that is not true, and where we can do better, but are not a reason to overall change our policy, which should be formalized.

     

  22. The Redstone Towers - A Redstone Tutorial Area

    in Minecraft General

    Posted

    In our current (25th) Revision of Creative, I have been tasked with moderating, curating, and cultivating an area for players to create examples of the best Redstone has to offer. I wanted to open this forum up for players to ask any questions about what, how, and where to build their creations. I only had limited space to put rules on the signs in the towers, so I know there is more than can be explained.

    Our intent is to make a collection of Redstone devices that explain the nuances of how to make some of Minecraft's most complicated and capable creations.

    To start with, you can build anywhere in the towers that permissions let you (place a block to test if you can build, since all areas are under a parent protection anyone can build in). Once you've build something, make a /modreq as usual to get it protected.

     

    Each segment of each tower is organized by the type of creation. If you can't find the category that fits your device, please ask, or build it on the lowest floor (labled Misc.). If it truly doesn't fit in any category it may inspire us to make a category for it! When looking for your category, consider that the simplest devices are at the top, and the most complex are at the bottom. The Towers each represent a principle, Thought and Action respectively. Thought is where various logic type devices are located. Action is where those devices are implemented to perform a real function (most often, a door).

     

    Our goal is to make designs that fit into all sorts of configurations and orientations. Generally we want to see examples of the smallest, most efficient devices possible (Rube Goldberg on your own property!). If you run out of room in a category, send a mail to me and I'll do something (I don't know exactly what yet.) about it.

     

    To help other players understand your creations please place at least one sign explaining what it is and who created it. Other signs to explain nuances are always appreciated.

     

    So give me your questions, statements, and propositions below and I look forward to all of your creations!

    How is she seeking to harm the community, please explain the words you are typing.

    Your attempt at  character assasination is extremely obvious, by the way.

    You've provided no real reason for people to dislike her other than the fact that she posted logs of a video game server admin chat log.

     

    Also, I've known Tharine for considerably longer than you have, who are you to try to dictate my or anyone else's opinions about her.

     

    Also, this isn't the first time you've said trash like this, the first time you said it was in IRC, and you got called out immediately.

    gsand, you're correct that I have said this before in IRC, and I found myself incapable of responding to questions there in a timely manner that that medium usually follows. I posted these comments here to put my observations and opinions on record as a better way to responsibly discuss them.

     

    In response to your request for further explanaiton of harm, Tharine's unilateral choice to post private chat logs has taken away a secure  and private location for staff to have discussions. We served you better because we had a private place where we could develop ideas together, which we could not on our own. It helped us form a strong sub-community within nerd.nu's staff. We also (and primarily) served you better by having a secure place to discuss server security preventing threats from damaging the community. Without these being assured I do not feel we serve you as well as we once did. I call taking that away "harming the community".

     

    Unless I missed something I didn't dictate any player's opinion, in fact I stressed how your opinion matters to me in the post you responded to. Though you might believe my opinion is "trash", I am open to having my opinion changed, and the only way to do that is by discussing it.

    I take your, and other members opinions that Tharine has long been one of our most upstanding, and hard working admins very seriously. I don't believe that history has a direct bearing on how she is likely to act towards the community at the moment, her character, given her action which started this discussion. Her noted history will affect how I value any future communications and actions she has with the server and myself and is not to be disregarded.

    Her actions are far more harmful in my opinion than any of the issues she brought up and validated by that action. I think we simply disagree on that point and perhaps my above explanation of "harm" has changed your opinion. I do think her issues should be addressed and discussed, but preventing the associated actions holds priority for me in the immediate future.

    I am not seeking to assassinate anyone's character. As bad as Tharine's actions were in my opinion, I still think there are ways I could welcome her back to the community eventually. I'm definitely not seeking to insult you, Tharine, or anyone, and so I hope I have been direct in responding to your issues.
