Re: Is Anarchy gameplay realy that much fun?

EDIT: Darrr, ninja'd in part by the man himself... For someone who has never played anarchy at all, much less anarchy on a BTW server (having only done the former myself), I think it will be important to keep in mind that BTW provides a very different set of constraints and incentives than what is o...

Re: Anarchy Play

I played on a couple anarchy servers earlier this year, all vanilla. My experiences were pretty varied but in the end I don't think I'll be going back to it. The first server was my favourite of them. Ran away from spawn as fast as I could and built an underwater hobbit hole, whipped up a fairly rud...

Re: To my friend Bill

Very sorry to hear this, FC. You were the best thing to ever happen to Bill and I'm sure he'll appreciate you until the end. In lieu of pouring one out on the curb, having neither, my cat is going to get a big hug.

Re: The "microsoft help desk"

For telemarketers and cold-callers for charities I always politely decline and explain I'm already committed, which is true. I reserve slightly more amusement for commercial callers, who I string along until they start their big pitch, at which point I put the phone down and walk away. I too have ha...

Re: Tree growing

Offhand I don't see any reason why it wouldn't unless you have a block above it offscreen. Also, there is a BTW patch for Sphax 128 which you may find appealing. How long have you been watching this sapling?

Re: Tree growing

You are playing with hardcore bone mode enabled, which disables the instant-growth ability of bone meal. That would imply it could be disabled :) I believe the correct way to express this is "you are playing with Better Than Wolves installed". Wasn't completely sure if it could be disable...

BTW Texture Display Map [4.16]

I have created a small map which compactly displays most BTW textures. This will be useful for texture pack authors who want to view all the blocks as well as for showcasing most of the work in a single screenshot without having to hunt around your base.

Re: [16x][BTW 4.11] SimpleCraft BTW supplement

Updated for 4.11 Updated again for 4.11, fixing a missing texture for the sides of BTW farmland I'll probably work on the shitty column textures tomorrow and have another release then. Soon there may be a borderless version for people who like that. Maybe GUI stuff after that. Please let me know if...

Re: Like the Painterly Pack? Come in here!

Haven't the foggiest on what drama specifically rhodox feels he might've been involved in aside from that surrounding his buddy kakermix and their cohorts, but his website did have (still does?) a splash taunt reading "Better than Better than Wolves".

Re: Like the Painterly Pack? Come in here!

If Rhodox gives you his ok I can send you what I have left over from a few months ago. Whether or not that would be of any help I can't say, and yours seem much better than mine in any case. I haven't had a lot of time to update it in the last three months but it may take a small load off you. Plus ...

Re: Meet the Pyro

It's been a long damn wait for me. I main pyro and I was worried that my attachment to the class would mean that I'd never be able to forgive any real or perceived flaw before MtP was released. Although I was initially somewhat skeptical and unsure, it seems to be a rather rapidly aging wine for me ...

Someone planning to "steal" BTW code

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation

Now you also get XP for breaking mob spawners as well. Haven't tested the mining/smelting XP myself, but this post seems to suggest it's rather quite a bit at the moment. Summary:

~ 64 redstone
~ 64 coal
~ 32 lapis
2 diamonds

=> level 30

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation

Ender chests eliminate a lot of the risk in SSP situations where you know of incoming danger - just pop your stuff in the chest and you won't have to worry about losing any of it. In SMP though, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the inventory is shared for everyone . That'll be interesting. App...

Re: Morvelaira's MC News Compilation

Of course it would be, but this is the kind of "convenient" addition (that in actuality grants a lot of power to the player) that Jeb seems to favour. What's more, that was the most well-received of the candidate blocks. Lazers hardly had a purchase by comparison. Though, this is assuming ...

Alright, I figured that it's time to give one of these a go and see how it pans out come the next few weeks. I can't promise regular updates, and the format isn't entirely settled as of yet, but hopefully those kinds of kinks will be worked out shortly (with your feedback). So, the stage: I began th...
