Decided to try out the most recent snapshot and I found out that I'm getting almost triple the fps in that instead of the latest stable release (with optifine). Not one crash and just fluent gameplay altogether. Anybody experience the same thing?

My Long delayed minecraft excelsior is available for download. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkTftBlwxmk http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/uss-excelsior-uss-reliant-abandoned/ quote:The USS Enterprise in the center is the "legacy edition" upgrade I was planning, using new blocks and modernizing it for the latest version. Be sure to shutdown the piston drives at the base of the warp core if your computer can't handle the piston massacre. I'd love to make a video tour but my crummy mac can't handle recording minecraft videos (as demonstrated by the youtube one's framerate) Mozzie fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Jun 4, 2012 |

A tour video of these would be incredible.

Hells yeah, that is the crazy japanese mod shown in the mod thread a week or two ago. I'm with the yogscast guys, that poo poo is better than pistons. I'd like to see the rotater and sliders added to the base game, that could be really awesome. That giant door they showed It's still really buggy, but hell, I want to make giant doors like those. That mod is now the only other mod I truly want to see in the base game, along with my old favorite, the hacksaw mod. Hacksaws from redpower (I think they were their own mod first) are easy to use, the blocks have a really intuitive placement interface, they allow for really aesthetically pleasing structures, all without adding any actual new blocks or graphics. It seems like it would fit in perfectly with ~*Notch's Vision*~. Why hasn't jeb looked at it yet?  Seriously, almost every day I try to do something until I realize that it's not possible with the current stairs and half slabs system, but would be trivial with the hacksaw.edit: While I'm on a tangent about how minecraft should REALLY be god dangit, anyone disappointed by the initial Ender Chest implementation? Is Jeb still standing firm on how it works? It's bumming me out that such a cool feature is going to be completely useless in multiplayer.

What I think is even better about that mod is, it doesn't look like it requires a mountain of redstone out back to drive. Hell, you could probably make elevators without too much hassle. This needs to be implemented post haste!

Arkitektbmw posted:See but the difference is...does your company's main purpose rely on that Single printer? Would all outgoing communication and interaction halt if that one printer went down? You seem upset. What I was trying to say was that no matter what the company is, how much money it makes or how many customers it has there are things that will break and break often. Is either example acceptable? No, not really, especially when you end up not being able to serve customers/get work done. That said I built my first XP farm after two years playing this the other day and let it run as I went to dinner at my girlfriend's parents house. Came back to three frames per second as the spawn drop area was filled with enough skeletons to overfill my inventory with arrows and bones and get me to level 29.

Yes, but you can take steps to mitigate the effect, and when it's something that basically services the entire client base of the company, the fact that last time this happened it took an extra few hours because nobody could go in to hit the reset button is really not a good sign.

When the woods got added in I predicted it would be months before there were slabs/stairs in different colors because they would have to redo the whole silly system but it looks like Jeb has already done this. The thing I would like the most that will never happen even if the whole game is rewritten from scratch would be a different system for water that's perhaps independent of blocks (not a whole crazy Dwarf Fortress model, I don't want to melt my computer, but still).

Christ, that reminds me of when stone brick first came around and the stair blocks for it were solid instead of transparent and a stone brick staircase had nice ugly black squares next to it all the way up. The lighting system DOES need an overhaul, if only because it wasn't originally made to be able to handle all the special cases that are coming out of the woodwork.

XboxPants posted:Can you explain why this is the case? I believe you, I'm just curious. Is there perhaps a middle road between "lol minecraft water" and what you're thinking of as "accurate"? Truly accurate fluids are very expensive. Each block has to be able to track how much water is entering and leaving itself on each of its six sides, and this all needs to be propagated outwards. A chunk is 16 x 16 x 256 (or more, depending on your height setting), which amounts to over sixty-five thousand blocks that could need fluids processing in a single chunk, and thousands of chunks could be loaded on a server, depending on how many players are connected and where they are. There's a lot of optimizations that could be done to decrease the amount of processing, such as skipping computation for blocks that are in equilibrium, but all it would take is some jerk hollowing out an enormous cavern and digging upwards into an ocean to bring the server to its knees.

Even just having water be a block property instead of a block id without having any more fluid "dynamics" than right now would be a step up though, so for example the top portion of a slab block could be immersed in water instead of having air built into it.

So I just finished fixing the paths and putting a fence around the town in "Fiery Death" creative And went for a very brief explore and found a pit to hell, or something. It's huge and dark.  I'll see what's there later. It seems like my current hobby in both CSP and SSP is finding and renovating villages. Why I have no idea. It's just kind of therapeutic.

And there's also the fact that the source body of water could potentially span so many chunks that it would be too large to ever fit into memory (or even be infinitely large, depending on the world generator), and you need to know how big it is in order to decide how much water will flow into the new area, and then go through the process of actually moving the water blocks around (and if you want to be more realistic, you'd need to allow partial blocks of water so that single one meter cube could flatten out to form a puddle on the surface of multiple blocks).

Trip report on the cave of mystery. It's a honeycomb down there with heaps of really nice looking streams flowing down and through. Mentally I dubbed it the River Rapid (oh god why). It's a really short trip to bedrock and the river of lava. If this were an SSP game I'd be super happy. But it's not. Instead I'm going to do something silly like establish a village down there and call it "Bedrock". Yabba Dabba Doo!

The swamps are pretty dark though with the pack. edit: I've spent a few hours just wandering in the caves near the village. It's utterly ridiculous. There's a couple of ravines, a couple of abandoned mines, one of which is huge, a water slide which goes from the surface to just shy of bedrock, a natural mob grinder, and every cave that is on the surface all seems to be connected to this hollow core. I really do think the map gen is a bit glitched by the seed. At least it explains why chunk generation is slower than normal. General_Failure fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Jun 5, 2012 |

Reinstalled Minecraft after a long while, having a problem with it. After about 2-3 minutes the game becomes unbearably laggy and unplayable, then boots me to the main menu claiming there is no more memory to allocate. I tried again with the task manager open, it runs up to about 1.1gb of memory used and then that happens. I've got 8gb of memory in the machine, so not sure what the problem is.

If you've got a 64 bit os, make sure you're using a 64 bit java, I had similar problems before I figured out that the java download had autodetected as 32bit because I was using a 32 bit browser.
