Assuming that's the case, who wants to help me with a world-spanning transit system? I only managed about 30,000 blocks of rail on my last server, and that just ain't enough. No need, bro: the transit hubs involve automatic train stations. Serejai and I have been laying track all night (mostly Serejai), and this was only for a single town-to-city rail system. Our goal is to have all towns interconnect with one of the two cities. There's also a special kind of transit that might see use in the colder biomes... but no guarantees yet. | ||

Assuming that's the case, who wants to help me with a world-spanning transit system? I only managed about 30,000 blocks of rail on my last server, and that just ain't enough. No gravel roads. The only pre-built transit systems are train lines. Each town is connected to one of the two cities, and each city is connected to each other. So, you could go from the SE wilderness to the nearest town, take a five minute ride from there to a city, then hop onto another line and take a five minute ride to the other city, then a third five minute ride to another town, and now you're in the NW part of the map. Even still, you'll have to walk a good 5-15 minutes to get to most areas of the map. It's mostly there for some added convenience in the first week of the server where people want to spread out a bit. The way monsters work is that they get progressively more difficult in certain areas, so most of the early building will be closer to towns (as that's where the "easier" mobs will spawn). There will probably be a few temporary mining towns that players end up building together (just some huts and lights) to build up items the first few days, then set out into more challenging territory to make their real structures. Of course, that's optional and you're more than welcome to make your structures in the easier areas closer to town. You guys are free to make your own roads and rail systems, towns, cities, etc. We will be constantly evolving the neutral areas as well so the world feels more dynamic (for example, a new chunk of land may pop up with a new small town). It's honestly a tad hard to explain a lot of this without explaining how the server will function, which I don't want to do just yet. Needless to say there's a reason for everything and if you have any confusion it should go away shortly.

It would be neat (though probably impossible) to not have it show a player's location unless they were within a certain distance, or unless you had already run into that player before. Anything is possible. Whether or not we have the time to do it is another matter entirely. I'm not entirely sure how I want the map to function yet. I will most likely throw it up sometime this weekend and let people watch it for a bit as we finish up some work. Then people can chime in with their opinions on the current implementation and we'll go from there. I will say that the server is not focused around PvP (pretty sure I mentioned this earlier) and so the main world will not be PvP-enabled (though considering a way for you to slaughter people if you feel like it... more on this later). However, there will be a dedicated PvP area with some reasons for people (even those who don't want to PvP) to go there. Some mini-games, some world events, and some timed events as of now. The map for this area will NOT show players. On November 18 2011 21:38 Jaso wrote: It's back? NOWAIII edit: above project was so epic... also, how does the name system work? By IP? Basically, anyone is free to log on to the server. However, in order to have build rights you need to authenticate yourself. This sends you a confirmation code on TL which in turns ties your Minecraft ID to your TL ID. The entire process is automated and shouldn't take more than a minute or two. It's simply an automated combination of a whilelist + accountability; two things I had to manually handle on the old server, which honestly was a complete pain in the ass. | ||

The rail lines are fair enough as well I suppose. It'd be quite cool to implement a toll system for use though. That'd make the first trip rather reminiscent of Morrowind, where you could pay the small fee to take the Silt Strider like everyone is telling you, or you can just run off through the wilderness and probably get slaughtered after running into a thousand and a half really cool things. Oh my god, when I first played Morrowind, I had no idea the Silt Strider in Seyda Neen existed, so I walked around for about a day of play time before I figured out where I was supposed to go. Good times. But yeah, I have a feeling there will most likely be a toll of some sort to gain access to the trains or other forms of transport. For all of the huge benefits of train travel (safety from mobs, increased speed, no need to press keys, no depletion of hunger, etc.), there should be some means of balancing those boons out with a cost to travel.

They haven't been able to since 1.8 beta, so it's a non-issue. They can't pick up fences either, so they're not any more of a problem than zombies would be. I think the only issue would be looking them in the eyes as you ride by, then they teleport onto you and screw up the trains. We'll need to address that possibility, but Endermen will not be able to sabotage the tracks via their block manipulation abilities. EDIT: I've just been informed that Endermen will not teleport to a player riding in a minecart, so that second issue I presented is a moot point. Travel via trains will be 100% safe from Endermen. | ||

In 1.0.0 they can only pick up basic blocks too. IE: Grass, dirt, sand, stone, nothing man made. | ||
