The colossus of sharkies is completed. I need to make a ladder up his back so we can relight his fire every now and then.

- Minecraft disconnecting issues -
Not sure if anyone else was being dropped due to a socket error but here's a fix below that worked for me: (copy / repost from another forum)
ERROR
------
Connection lost
Internal exception: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error
Some people are reporting those errors with particular network cards (Atheros is pointed out).
FIX
---
Start Button -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters
Right Click the Atheros Card -> Properties -> Advanced
Select Transmit Buffers, and change the value from 256 to 512.
***Select Each of the things with "Checksum Offload" and disable them.
Click Okay
Run Minecraft
P.S. Monroe was working his butt off on his underwater project :)
This is what I did the first night to try fixing mine and it helped a lot but didn't solve it completely, it just increased the amount of time before a crash.Quote:

Wow, everyone put a lot of effort into the server last night.
Lol, Adisharr, not sure where you were planning on stopping either. I put the left turn in to goto Linoleum's waterfall cavern. I'll keep working on the uber highway, but I keep running out of gravel for the footpath.
Tonight though, I need to search for diamond. A LOT. I need better tools. Going through a stack of 8-10 shovels in 30 minutes is annoying.
*Edit: And I love the colossus straddling the highway. :D
I got to log on this morning and do some exploring. Good stuff!
What's the plan with this giant cave under the R? I want to help!
I wanted to add some nipples but wasn't sure if that was already planned or not :DQuote:

By the time I'm done that little pond is going to have grown by a LOT, I think. I thought a glass underwater tunnel would be cool anyway, but I built it as I did (with the overhang water access) so we can fish out of it after they get added to the game. Water will probably need to be a bit deeper for that, though, currently you'd just be fishing in the dirt. I think after I finish the span across the pond I'm going to get to work on the floor, and after that dig out the area underneath the glass so it will be 360 covered by water.
If you go down into my mine, try lengthening the main hallway a little bit and starting new tunnels. Some of the side tunnels we have now are LOOOOOOOONG and if you ever have to go back up for something it takes forever to get back to where you were.Quote:

As a note: I harvested the floating tree farm over the pond this morning. Got ~190 wood blocks, converted 64 of them into wood planks and left the rest for compact storage.
*Edit: Please, when you have time, or are bored, feel free harvest/replant the tree farm, it grows fairly quickly, and usually offers up enough saplings during harvesting that you can replant immediately. :)
I hereby claim the sky tower next to the SHARKY sign. It will be converted into Kama's Castle in the Sky.
Can we did a big trench over to the ocean?Quote:

I'm a little surprised at the 16x movement in Hell, I figured it would be about 10.
Grr, I want to play right now. But it's work time.
Not Doom Tower!Quote:

Farm the floating tree farm. ;)Quote:

Statues, burning men, water tunnels, one huge mine and another long staircase, etc. So strange.
Well I claim the SHARKY sign itself. ;)Quote:

I'll claim my arch cave area (basically an area walled in on 3 sides, James knows where it is), but I have no project ideas yet. :(
As long as everybody else is claiming land, I only plan on claiming a spot out in the ocean to make a water surrounded fortress. I guess I'll run out there today and make a stack of stone to mark it.
Typical. We've got the whole 8x size of earth map split between about 6 people and of course we already are "fighting" over a tiny square of land. :DQuote:
