 Ok ... I give up! Can ANYONE figure out how we can get an up to date MAP of our domain? |

I give up... I tried 3 different Minecraft mapping softs all with no sucess and no real clues as to why. I'm just not that good at poking other peoples badly made software in the right places!!! Anyone else care to try? For access to the maping data just ask either me or Kermit or Kade possibly.
Good luck! -------------------- Are we going to the same place, and if so can I come?

Oh I've been struggling with this for a while.
I think its more due to the completeness of the data download. -------------------- Hi!

before considering buying minecraft, I have questions:
1. Do people own certain territories? 2. If yes to the above, can I have a small plot of land as far away from everyone as possible (in order to mitigate havoc that I create)? 3. Are the limits to building size contrained by resources or could one theoretically create a giant phallic skyscraper? 4. How long does one spend scouring for resources? As in are we talking hours, days or weeks to create something large and obscene? I've not looked at any mapping tools, but I did have a look at the nasty game code a while back. Give us a shout if you need me

Ok in answer to monkey questions
The gmaeworld is essentially infinite So resources are also infinite But some are faster to get than others Also some are more plentiful aswell Lots > less Stone,cobblestone marble dirt wood planks sand gravel wool coal iron gold redstone diamond obsidian Ofc there are more mats but those are most common U can strike off in any direction and after 2 mins travel ur probinto virgin terratory and ifu don't mark the route clearly u prob never find the same spot fora long while , hence aki's roads and innumerable landmarks In terms of building stuff The y axis is infintet while ground level sits on 0 and extends up +64 and down below -64. So in theory one could. Build a massive borg cube 128 blocks wide/high/deep. As long as you chose to dig out a huge pit 64 blocks deep from ground level first  -------------------- WIP...
never build your exit to a deep mineshaft next to a lake....... ~Explorer Caste~ 1. Always carry Lumber,Coal and a compass 2. Be prepared not to see the light for a good few cycles 3. Profit :D |

Kermit rocks!!!
Also Monkey if we make you an admin you can be a dirty haxxer and thus ruining the resource acquiring game for yourself but this is all down to personal preference. Personally I try to stick to true and tested unless I'm attempting an insane task like building the games largest underground rail system... oh pooo I may have given the game away! Lol. There's only a slightly tricky thing about ownership but basically everything's covered in the property rights post

QUOTE (K. @ Jan 14 2011, 03:46 PM)  Lots > less Stone,cobblestone marble dirt wood planks sand gravel wool coal iron gold redstone diamond obsidian As a geo I find it laughable that there is more marble in the world than there is dirt

Aaaaaaaah, that makes more sense. 6, that explains it, its basically half a block of shiny stone, not actual marble
Also, I would say obsidian is more common than diamond, cus you can actually create obsidian

Ahh ... here you might have an issue as so far we only have a mini-map implemented ... we have not yet managed to find a soft that maps the whole entire boundary of our world :S guess your lost?

Clicky Piccy for Biggy
 Somebody built a football pitch? :s Damn... 11 minutes  p.s. bodged together bugfilled sourcecode for map methingy available for perusal or mockery. Version 1.0 bluescreened my pc impressively. It's in C++ and I compiled it in vis studio (but I don't see why it can't be built using make in linux/unix for those of that persuation). I started off in C# then forgot some of the syntax To those whom the above is gibberish I can just upload a new map whenever anyone wants it updated?
