[Om of the Nom]

Do u think I have been following this thread often bc I haven't sorry.

Also heck which version do I need.

[Maestro]

Check the OP, Ommy.

[Om of the Nom]

I did and it said PRE-release 1.7.4 and Minecraft confuses me so I just got what said 1.7.4 in the launcher but its not working so I'm assuming I need a snapshot but which one.

[Om of the Nom]

wait no it works i think dont worry

EDIT: yea ok i got the right version but it says you haven't whitelisted me yet

Little late there, bro. Issue's been sidelined for now.

I just felt it need my responce anyway

I'm gonna start up my maze project again. Gonna be smaller in scale than I was planning in the past (so that there is a greater chance I actually finish it) - will be a 27x27x27 block cube maze in full 3D (no cross dimensional nether 4D maze yet...). That puts the bottleneck to when it gets done at the maze generation itself. I'm currently trying to write some code to generate a minimum spanning tree in 3D using a randomized prim's algorithm, but so far it hasn't been going well. I understand the algorithm just fine, just not the coding necessary to do it. I may have to give up and just draw the maze myself randomly, unless someone who knows code and is really bored can whip something up for me real quick.

[Rhinox]

Woo having a breakthrough today using VBA to drive an excel worksheet generating a schematic of my maze. Might actually be able to pull this off afterall

Om you can chill with me, since they moved on without us

[Bulbazak]

Yay! Majora's Craft just updated! Now if only we could get an updated version of the minimap...

[Om of the Nom]

Om you can chill with me, since they moved on without us :P

Lets rebuild our own town, and none of them can join us.

:evil: I'mma be mad if you people start going all clique-y.

it's ur fault for getting rid of the good times we all had

[Om of the Nom]

Anyway I just got on the server for the first time now so if anyone's around i'd appreciate a tour : ^)

Edit; No need to spoil..seems I derped and DLed the wrong version so no pics are needed.


Ignore this post, it was made in error

[Maestro]

Spoil mehbeh?

Here's a little sneak peak of what I accomplished today:



The above example was generated by manually stepping through my code in debug mode to test and make sure its working properly. Found something I need to tweak tomorrow, and then I should be able to loop and generate the whole maze. I'm off on vacation until the 2nd, so maybe that is enough time to get this thing working and built in the game.

[Rhinox]

Oh and I'm tempted to build the whole thing out of obsidian and leave it dark

[Pizzadudes7]

Oh and I'm tempted to build the whole thing out of obsidian and leave it dark

On a scale of 1 to "I'm not gonna fight mobs while doing the maze", that scores a solid 10.5

yeah don't worry. It wouldn't work anyways because I don't think there is a way to creeper-proof the ladders. Plus the cube is pretty much to small to allow mobs to spawn anyways while you're inside.

[Rhinox]

And... Success! I can now generate a random 27x27x27 cube 3D maze scematic (13x13x9 nodes in game) in a minute or 2

Spoiler: Example Full Schematic

Levels 1, 2, 3 (top down view):

Levels 4, 5, 6:

Levels 7, 8, 9:

Red squares represent ladders up to the next level. Blue represents ladders down to the previous level. Purple represents ladders both up and down to adjacent levels.

Naturally I won't be building that particular maze now that I've gone and posted the schematic , but I'll be building 1 very much like that. Now I can play around with different starting node seeds until I get something I like.

Not sure how difficult a maze it is really... Looks hard on paper, and its hard to follow paths in schematic format just because its easy to lose track of where you are when jumping between grids. In game may be easier due to being able to visualize the 3 dimensions, or it may be even more difficult due to not being able to see very far in front of you and where you are in relation to the rest of the maze.

I'm going to make a tree farm in the near future--needs a lot of pistons, because it moves the resulting trees into a block you can happily mine away. Iron donations would be very, very welcome, since this is a community project. I have a chest by my Nether portal, if you're feeling kind.

Done, though I'd appreciate any iron donations, to be honest... that brought me down to half a stack of ingots, and I think it was something like 168 iron used for the whole thing.


Take Rhino Railway to the Desert village, it's the portal to your right just before the station.


Push the lever, spam saplings on the dirt block, watch magic happen. You'll then have to chop down the resulting giant wood block; Efficiency V axes make short work of it.

Please take bone meal with you if you use the machine; it goes through the supply quite fast.

Oak or birch wood farming only

, please. Jungle and spruce don't grow, dark oak needs more saplings than there is space for, and the acacia leaves may break the redstone system.

Be careful when going out to chop the wood block (I go

through

it, as the logs will block the opening to the outside you see when going through the portal and you need to chop through them); as of now, the top of it isn't lit up, so if you somehow wander off the building you may get spawns on top of the logs in the "arena".


It's not a pretty build by any measure, but it's off main areas and when I have some patience I might see what to do about the outside looks.

If you don't really get how it works, ping me and I'll give you a guided tour.

Really neat, Rhinox. (You can be mean and build it out of ice and/or glass... don't be so mean as to make it obsidian in the dark! ) Where would the exit be, in that schematic?

Hope everyone is having a great holiday! Since it is classified as the season of giving I have a present for everyone! I hid it below since it is a surprise! =)

Spoiler: Click for your Present!

Today while I was finishing up the map for the Temple of the Midnight Sun area I was lucky enough to stumble on.....a MESA biome! I'll be setting up a portal to it tonight and adding a stop on the Rhino Railway route that connects to the Temple and my Ocean House (Gold Route). This way people can access it quickly.

Hope everyone has a great Holiday!
