He didn't base them off of Slenderman for anything but the name. He named them that only because someone pointed out the similarity in a reddit thread. If I'm not mistaken, he didn't even know it existed before people told him.

And the Slenderman/Marble Hornets stuff has nothing to do with an ARG past what some idiot named the first thread for it over here.

You're pretty much wrong in every way about that, Zorak.

e: well, past the image being an ARG thing. Which is neat.

It's probably something to do with that minecraft convention.

It's amazing, C418 has remade like nearly every sound in the game and notch just sits on his rear end not adding literally any of them and using his dumb placeholder sounds. It's mindboggling, and really upsetting. I just want him to add the drat sounds how hard can it be??

It's almost like the game is in constant development and is as yet unfinished in many major aspects.

Not much? The only thing I can think of is stuff to do with lighting, but that was just "it won't work unless I rewrite the lighting system" and then he rewrote the lighting system so

So as far as I can tell the Hoppers are equivalent to tubes that only flow horizontally and down. Seems pretty specialized considering that they could have just co-opted tubes from one of those Tekkit mods.

Transferring items across a fortress is fine and all, but only downwards? :( No mining tubes to send diamonds into the base?

You can put items into chests, including chests in minecarts.

Thought I'd make a happy post to report that I have heard back via PM from Erek, who has given me the go-ahead to finish fixing his map and to re-release it. I'll post more progress shots as I get more done.

That's fantastic! I'm glad he signed off on it, it was one of my favorite adventure maps in the past and I'm really happy you're updating it.

A question, though - that map had a handful of hidden secret bonus items per segment, right? I'm assuming you're using the version that was the entire thing instead of manually separating them; are you carrying those over from the segments?

(it's been too long, sorry if I'm misremembering or the full version had the secrets already)

From what I've seen of the Achievement Hunter guys running the Xbox port, I don't think the map size is all too limiting. It does suck that you can't have huge sprawling maps, but you definitely have a lot of room to build on.

That'd explain why I haven't seen it, since it's an obscure bug requiring a very unnatural situation.

An unnatural situation such as "a spider climbing a wall." That's basically the main thing that's been getting to me. The spider bug does not require excessive numbers. These types of bugs have also practically ruined several adventure maps.

edit: While I'm at it, I sure wish they'd fix mobs randomly being immune to arrows and bouncing them back. This one happens almost at random and doesn't require any extraordinary circumstances.

You said "small amounts of spiders" which I presumed meant 'more than one spider,' but okay

How do you switch it off? Don't post what you're working on. Not sure why that's a requirement for him. I doubt he posted all over the internet about Minecraft when he first came up with the idea, but that's what he did with 0x10c. Pretty sure he spent more time on the website for 0x10c then he had on the game when he said that's what he was working on.

Reminder that this is the sort of thing entitled assholes did when Notch didn't say exactly what he was working on every second of every day:



He's got a ton of people staring at him in threads and forums like these, judging him for increasingly over the top reasons and it obviously bothers him.

The fan backlash would be deafening.

Not only that but there's dozens and dozens of pieces of merchandise using the look of all the blocks and mobs. They're iconic now and changing it would be insane.

If you don't like it, there's hundreds of alternate texture packs to use and the game has drag-and-drop support for most of them! I use Painterly, myself.

Anyone know how to get Connected Texture Mod working with Painterly? I build a ton with glass and it really bugs me when it looks ugly and non-connected, so I've been waiting for Painterly to get updated to work with the new CTM format Optifine updated to - but after so long it appears that it's either not in the plans or wayyy on the backburner for Painterly. Are there any workarounds or autoconverters out there?
