Gaming Hielor's Minecraft Server

In the nether, take a minecart, go to Artlav's Absurd Island or Arrowstar's Rosewood, those places are not frequently visited and far away from the hub enough that I think there's still some glowstone to take.
There was natural glowstone right over the Science Center portal too, at least before the portal was secured from ghasts. I don't know if it's still there. It was located in a way that you wouldn't need to place any blocks to reach, and mine all of it.
 
There are 3 ways to obtain glowstone:

-Go to nether and mine some.
-Ask for someone to give you what you need, or
-Trading it with villagers.

If you only need 12 someone can give you some or you can go to the nether, villagers are useful when you need some stacks.

Whenever there is an update, take a flip through the thread, someone always links to the old jar or other ways to downgrade. This one comes courtesy of orb:

You need Minecraft 1.3.2 to play with it (http://assets.minecraft.net/1_3_2/minecraft.jar).
 
Last time I visited it, there were a couple of wool-less sheep, a pig or 2, a chicken, and a creeper (the last one was eventually dead :P). No ocelots or people.

I built Rosewood earlier this June. It was just meant to be a fun little project away from the rest of the Commune without any intention of continually occupying the place. Think of it as a "national park" or some such thing. :) In any event, I would obviously prefer that no construction happened on the island in order to maintain the feel of the place. :)
 
I visit Rosewood occasionally. I do enjoy the feel of it. It IS supposed to be fairly uninhabited. :lol:
 
The Watchtower, A Functional Hall in the Heart of the City

Introducing to you all, the newest addition to the Commune area in Orbiter-Forum Memorial City, a.k.a Communia.

I have been having the idea to convert tl8's unused plot (containing the watchtower) into someting, well, more useful, since it is in the middle of a heavy-traffic public area, so two months ago (or three) I made up the designs and showed it to tl8, which after careful considerations permitted me to make a mock-up of it (the exterior that some of you guys have been seeing in the past two weeks). Yesterday tl8 gave me permission to complete the building, and here it is now, in its fullest form.

So, I have been thinking on what to put in the building, since it has to be a public area, and since the new world lacked a billboard, I decided to make one for it, split into two parts, so that it doesn't disturb the general aesthetics of the building.

2012-11-27_21.33.47.png


this is the first stele, on the south side of the building, or left after you enter it, the north-face of it contains "The Stele News and Info" which is designed to let the members post and read some news about the server which might not be covered in the thread, and in newspaper style. Anyone is free to make a new article by replacing an old one here, but please ask me before replacing a news article, to make an order that the older ones should be replaced first.

And so that it remains tidy and informational, please follow the format that I have made here, there are three layers that you can use, the first layer should contain the header formatted like this

=========
HEADER
HEADER
=========

with eight = in the top and bottom part of the sign, with the header being in upper-case

the news should be written in one or two signs below the header. Please note that the writing style should be Telegraphic or as compact as possible. And don't forget the grammar, if you are not confident with your English writing you can ask either me or anyone more proficient than you to write it, otherwise I'll edit it out of whim.

The Stele as of now contains three writeable layers, with four total layers, but if everyone wants to I can rise it up another layer for more words to be contained, but I see that three writeable layers is already sufficient.

This is on the eastern side of the first stele, or the sidewall facing the entrance, containing people wanted by Communia

2012-11-27_21.34.04.png


and this is the Hielor Server Classifieds, an ad board at the south-face of the first stele, for people posting ads to buy and sell anything. But please remember the restriction of the Sign Posting, and the format that should be followed is this:

(for example)

sell: woo482
for: 16 golds
CP: eccentrus

to make it short, concise, and compact, and please use only one sign per ad. and please use CP as Contact Person to save space (rather than, contact: zzzz)

another example (since a sign have four lines)

sell: houses
in SkyCity
for: 8 diamonds
CP: Arrowstar

This is the second stele, on the right side after entering, the south-face of it. And then of course, what will serve the most important function here, the announcements by tl8, and nobody other than tl8, including me, should edit or write anything in it. So I suggest that tl8 posts empty signs to fill the south-face of the stele and lock them up.

2012-11-27_21.34.18.png


And then of course, as in every billboard should have, a random post! It is on the other side of the mayor's announcements, so please leave your random ramblings inside the server here.

And now, time to go to the second floor, here you can see the fountain and stairs I've made

2012-11-27_21.34.44.png


This is the second floor, containing a ballroom, now in the parliamentary configuration, can be used for seminars or speech and auctions. I can think of other configurations, like a buffet configuration for a party, perhaps this building will one day hold the first marriage ceremony in the server :)

2012-11-27_21.35.29.png


On the second floor there is a balcony, which can be used for speeches made for the open public waiting anxiously on the outside of the building.

Thank you for viewing this presentation, this is eccentrus from Marksburg architecture and lands, signing out.
 
Well, from what I know inter-species marriage hasn't been allowed yet by tl8, and since you're a creeper clad in a dwarfman's skin, you can only marry other creepers :P

Well, yes, that's the idea. And afterwards, the first seminar can be a study on the Creeper reproductive cycle. Mwahahahahah.
 
well, save that for the inaugural lecture in SkyCity University perhaps? but since Arrowstar is still busy doing other things, perhaps it can be regarded as a visiting lecture?
 
Cool. Another nice building by Eccentrus :).

I think I'll rebuild my castle soon. There's no place for my planned expansions, and it would take too long to remove mountains. I'll move it 200 blocks to the south, near the river:

(Yep, I'm bad at drawing with a mouse :lol:)
 
wow cool, how did you get that 3-d birds eye image???

It's the dynamic server map, linked in the first post of the thread ;)

**EDIT** More specifically, if you call up the map, then move your mouse to the right of the browser window, a details pane appears, and you can select a 3D isometric view rather than the top-down 2D view, as well as see a list of players currently connected to the server.

There are various tools out there you can use to make maps of single player worlds. The server uses a Bukkit mod named DynMap for this purpose.
 
This particular one is a plugin for bukkit called dynmap. There are quite a few mods available that offer similar functionality for SP.
