  • Auto Restarter for linux

    A proper init script is still needed. I'm just too lazy to write one so i start my server from rc.local and modified the linux start script to use my hardcoded server directory instead of $PWD because the startup script assumes that you are executing the server jar from within the server directory

  • Some doors

    Quote from Miwarre

    All would be rather easy to do ourselves, once the hinge-only gadget would be available.


    Alright so here's a consolidated list of all the door gadgets to request. I agree with Miwarre about the gadget being a better solution to a visible frame. So each gadget should give you some kind of shape that is only visible in "door mode" or whatever. The shape shows the basic mechanical operation of the door system. Any construction object you craft can be snapped to that shape. The only issue I see is with accordion doors since they have lots of joints. Folding a plank with a material or image applied is not too hard but trying to fold a group of construction objects at multiple points might yield some nasty results.


    *sliding door (either inside the wall or outside)
    * barn door (two sliding door systems that open out at the same time)
    * folding door (two folding sections on each side of equal width. Can also be combined with barn door)
    * accordion door (apply any material id or a poster image on a frame with x number of folds)
    * swinging door (current door types we have now but we need a gadget/frame so we can design our own)
    * revolving door ( A plus on the floor)
    * any of the above door types hinged on top or bottom (not sides) so we can get the dutch door

  • Hello, Love this game!

    Oh, once we get the dungeons and the character models (with new clothing and armor) I'm going to lose lots of hours in this game. I'm just waiting for it to happen.


    The night sky is certainly an improvement but it needs a long way to go still. The resolution still needs to be increased by several magnitude. I'm an amateur astronomer so this is important to me. There needs to be more variety of brightess and more stars. If you are outside on a pitch black night you'll see an endless number of stars and messier objects and the side of the galaxy (milky way). I think the light pollution in Germany is so bad that I can understand if Red51 has never seen a true dark sky as I have. Its something that is unfortunately rare to see today with the light pollution problems across the world that doesn't seem to be an issue to most.


    I kinda envision also a night sky like in ARK where actual individual light sources are rendered, not just a bitmap.

  • I'd Love to Contribute with New Music

    Not sure about lack of motivation but his time has been consumed by various sound effect related issues over the past few months. He wants to get back on focus with the music for sure.


    Nothing wrong with wanting to help. If nothing else, perhaps you can write the "Music Inspired by Rising World" soundtrack one day. Come up with a demo and share it :)

  • Kitsu Test World & [Water Update] Niska Village

    I just played with the bucket and canteen. They work well. The only improvement I could suggest is to be able to refill it while its partially empty while pointing at the water. Otherwise, i need to keep drinking before I can fill it. Just a minor thing. I'm sure its a 2 minute fix.


    Quote from ArcticuKitsu

    Going to allow my ep 3 to sink in a bit until I feel it's right to do ep 4


    Don't let it get sunk under all that water! ;-p

  • Some doors

    Yes some kind of invisible object would work. We need other gadget types to provide the mechanical operation of other doors or other objects. We need to be able to fold (like some closet doors) or an accordion, hide like a pocket door, swing out (a traditional door), or slide. The sliding and hiding object could be possibly the same thing. if the sliding door slides into the wall, its not visible exept for the very end.


    My idea of a simple door frame was to allow you to start with a visible object to build ontop of, not an invisible object. If we went the invisible hinge route then we need some way to view invisible objects such as the hinges, or animation bones and joints. That would certainly be a more advanced system that would allow us to modify those joints.

  • I'd Love to Contribute with New Music

    I'm curious if Waveshapr will respond to this. I also posted a thread shortly before this with a a few praises and criticisms of the current music. One was regarding the "ambient music" . I'm a fan of ambient and space music. Steve Roach and Brian Eno are two of of my favorite composers. It would be cool to add a soundscape to the world in addition to the current music which Waveshapr wrote, which I certainly do love :)

    The canteen was more like a lucky guess but thankyou for your vote of confidence :)
    I still have yet to use it. I worked all night and will be stuck in the office for the next 6 hours. I hope to catch some new Lets Play videos meanwhile *nudges Vortac*

  • Introduction

    Your initiation requires you to endure the following:

    • The Leap of Faith
    • Crossing The Dessert
    • Unblinking Eye
    • The Paddling of the Swollen Ass (with paddles)


    We will then look deep into your soul and assign you a number based on the order of which you joined!

  • Some doors

    Some more doors would be nice. I'd also like a stone Moria door as well that glows ^^


    This morning I was watching a server tour by SafetyMeeting, A greenhouse was visible and I realized that we could use a triangular window frame and also a simple wood frame door. The wood frame door would be essentially a window frame with hinges. The simple frame could also be built upon so you can build a custom door (such as an outhouse door with a cutout on top) or simply pop in a glass pane to make a greenhouse door. :)

    Arctic,


    Glad you got a chance to enjoy the updates. I spent my evening getting caught up on yard work, then wiki updates (sooo much content to go), followed by late-night job work. Atleast the week is going fast. I might get some time to play tonight.


    I really want to check out this smoke emitter. I hope we get a water emitter as well. I want to make some kind of great underground stone hallway like in Moria with water pouring out of openings in the wall.

  • Pink Tree's~~~~!!!!

    I thought cherry blossom trees were confirmed. But now that I think about it, we got cherry trees in the last update. I hope smome more color variety is still coming.



    And update log just hit. looks like we got scaffoldings :)

  • [Poll]Tree Growth Time

    i figured that also eventually vegetables would be more rare to find. If we are to survive the stone age, we need to learn agriculture. At present its easy to survive merely by wandering all day and eating fruits and vegetables. Gardening is not a necessity. Atleast in Minecraft its important, for sustainability.
