1) Get it to not run like shit. This means getting a custom server app and figuring how to get it to run SMP so that people can actually fucking connect to it with the standard client.
2) Convert our level so that it runs on the custom server app.
This second item is turning out to be an enormous pain in the dick. There exist a handful of utilities to convert minecraft maps from one type to some other type, but they all involve "select your map (eg. server.dat) and click convert" which is nice except that the vanilla server map is comprised of about 3,500 individual .dat files all less than 6kb in size. I have yet to find any mention of how to handle such a map by anybody anywhere.
This, of course, is moot because after hours of trying I have yet to get any fucking custom server app to actually run. After downloading Python 2.6.6 dev environment, a mySQL addon, Python Twisted, json, and a handful of other development addons that I could only identify by the errors that their absence produced, I finally got iCraft to execute only to have the client crash with an "Unhandled Exception 2" error in the server log every time you try to connect.
I'm basically at my wits end, so if anyone knows anyone who knows how to run this shit properly, I'm wide open to suggestions.
Oh yeah, and I can't connect to my own goddamn server without the client crashing after a few minutes. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 09-28-2010 at 10:02 PM.
Do not make any mine carts, they bug and create physics loops and destroy servers.
Also don't deface the tower I'm building.

Redstone is buggy as fuck. Even the on/off lightswitch doesn't work 100% of the time in the redstone room.
Also, server coming up. Should be more stable. Let me know. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 09-29-2010 at 10:46 PM.

Using dust as a conductor probably isn't a very good idea anyway, they should allow you to mix it with gold or iron or something
Red dust is pretty much a catch all material. It's an infinite power source (torches). It's wiring. It's circuitry (and gates, or gates, etc), it's even magnetic (compass).
I got good at defending myself, setting up bases quickly before nightfall (an axe and pickaxe can be had out of wood in 3punches of a tree) but it all seemed so lackluster.
That was until, of course, I found.. THE CAVERN.
Everything I learned was just a prelude to this. It was like opening a portal to a whole new game and everything I had done on the surface was just to prepare me for what I was going to face. stacks upon stacks upon stacks of torches later, I STILL have not plumbed the depths of this massive, EXCEPTIONALLY rich cavern. 200+ iron and counting. 300+ redstone (Not that it's useful now). 500+ coal. And monsters and water and lava OH GOD.
It's like a.. a.. Oh god I don't know.
But it's amazing.
Server crashed, btw, and I had to restart it.

Delphi Aegis had this to say about Reading Rainbow:
So, I had reached an impasse with my very first world. I'd built a tower (The Tokyo tower was an inspiration, thank you!), plumbed some depths, died a lot, mined a lot but I still felt.. lacking something. I had little iron, plenty of coal but nowhere to go. So I made other worlds and other adventures spawned, but I kept coming back to my first to explore, sink a new shaft or tunnel, only to be disappointed.I got good at defending myself, setting up bases quickly before nightfall (an axe and pickaxe can be had out of wood in 3punches of a tree) but it all seemed so lackluster.

As a side note, if you guys could reel in the torch deployment a tad that'd be great (diadem I'm looking at you). All those light sources are nice, but I'm worried it'll make the game inaccessible to people without nicer graphics cards. Throwing some on your building is fine, but arbitrarily deploying large numbers of them out over the countryside seems unnecessary. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 10-02-2010 at 02:26 PM.

Or am I just grasping at straws and I should just be patient for a future release?

everything I get going is either highly broken SMP or lame classic stuff.
That's all there is.
I am running vanilla server 0.2.1, which is to say the default server by notch, and I would say that it's by far more feature rich and stable than any of the custom server offerings - none of which I can get to run in any functional capacity at all, much less SMP.
Minecraft community offerings all seem to be scarcely past proof-of-concept tinkering by isolated programmers whose work is inscrutable to anybody but themselves.
Or enter it from sky road.

Also, it looks like the Minecraft "bug" i was complaining about before is on my end. My mouse needs to be taken to pasture and shot. It appears to be a mechanical problem and not a software issue. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 10-10-2010 at 07:44 AM.
