Mojang multiplied the noise ratio in the terrain generator, it's like 2 mins of work if it were open to everyone.

What I don't get is why there isn't some Dwarf Fortress-esque parametric generation that the player can control. I seriously don't. The only real change is that internal variables could be messed with by the end user. UI limitation?  Doubtful. Engine limitation? Hah. Why are the generation parameters "closed"?

Just don't understand.

Well, TerrainControl is the exact opposite and gives you access to literally everything with 68 Biome INI configs to bend to your will. It isn't easy to use, though it's simple enough. If I had to guess, I would say "support reasons".

Kyad, upon visiting the town we were working on I noticed that the scripts used are broken turning the town into an empty place. Structurally everything is still sound but no NPCs nor spawn protection. Hope you'll be able to look into it.

In regards to my own areas, the NPC count has dwindled several times, I think there's a perpetrator who struck at least twice - first time I still had considerable villagers left, second time I'm down to single digits and I haven't gotten them to reproduce so far. Might need a few spawn eggs for them (also to much easier spread them around). I also might have to look into finding ways to reduce the chance of this occuring. Certainly there were a lot, if not too many villagers but the zombies don't discriminate between valuable deal villagers and those who only offer bad ones.

EDIT2: Iron Golems weren't killed as I thought, wonder where they were when I checked earlier.. Well, at least there wasn't any real structural damage.

IIRC, Kyad removed the scripts on purpose and there will be no NPCs in town anymore.


Regarding your villagers - it could be a zombie attack. Last time I was in your village there was a massive one.
that or a griefier. Lord knows I killed 2-3 of your (bad deal) villagers, but I stuck around till replacements were born.
Also, I stole 4 villagers from you to make my own village, but that shouldn't affect yours, since my village is capped and is small, and yours was full long after my village was done.

Server derped out on me last night and hasn't come back... Kyad?

I've been unable to connect since at least yesterday as well. Guess something *is* going on. Seconding the request for support.

[KyadCK]

Server restarted, seems to work fine.

[Sandwich]

Thanks - feel like letting me know how to do that myself?

[KyadCK]

Can't get on the server = Can't restart without SSH.

Indeed... I used to have SSH...

[IronBeer]

Ok quick question about hoppers- I noticed they're not really working to funnel items to attached chests or dispensers. I'd assume that I'd need to not make the chest/dispenser private, but I don't know the command to do so. Any insight?

[Sandwich]

Yeah, I had to figure that out the hard way myself. /unlock is what you're looking for.

Does anyone know of any witch huts on the server?

Actually, I used to have it on Qaz's old machine - forgot we moved to the super-computer. However, now's another time when having server restart access would be handy... (server's down again).

EDIT: It went up again, but went back down a few mins later. :-/ Any clue in the log files what's happening?

The oh so very smart people at the hosting place thought it would be a really nice gesture to use some good enterprise backup software made for linux to back up our stuff.

Never mind the fact that our own backup scripts (tarball/kick off to the HDD) run at midnight PST every single day in addition to our 5-min backups to the SSD without bothering anything, their program halts EVERYTHING on the server for 10-20 minutes to back it all up. This includes, among other things, the servers.

The servers don't actually go down, they're held in stasis until the program is done. The program runs at more or less 4:20AM PST every day, and has thus been dubbed the "Stoner program" since obviously someone had to be high to install such a thing without asking us. (plus, you know, the numbers)

Think CloudFlare levels of stupid.

Doesn't hurt anything, and it does flush out SWAP/Cache for us, but it's annoying as hell, especially for people who don't live in North America.

Server updated to 1.6.4.

FYI, Runecraft teleport pads don't seem to work... no error either. It's like the mod isn't installed at all.

Does anyone know of any witch huts on the server?

[Mongoose]

I can't remember seeing any myself.  Hell, I explored a good 2000x2000 area on singleplayer on my one map without finding a single one.

[Scourge of Ages]

If we were to find one, should we evict the witch?

[IronBeer]

Burn her!

Feel free to evict her and light up the hut, but whatever you do, DON'T MODIFY THE HUT. I'd like to build a witch farm, and to do that I'll need to know what the original hut's position and dimensions are.
