I have never figured out how to make water elevators work. I have the one waterfall in the middle of the building, that goes all the way to the basement.Quote:

The problem with your middle one is that for whatever reason :confused:, you ascend much, much faster when you're halfway in and halfway out of the water. Since your water is enclosed on all sides by the blocks of every floor it goes through, you can't ride the "edge" of the water all of the way up.Quote:

Of course that would also assume that there is a reason to get to any specific floor aside from the top. :p
Been a while since I used one but IIRC you have to actually get in the boat in regular water then ride the boat into the falls. They work because basically 1. boats always float to the top of water, and 2. they don't recognize the "flow" of waterfalls going down, they just see it as water.Quote:

You may be able to just stand in the water and drop a boat below you without getting into it but I can't remember if it kicks out from under you that way or not.
At any rate, just because of the shape and size of boats you need at least (again, IIRC) a 2x2 space to climb up in, which is why I said you'd have to enlarge the middle falls; try riding up that in a boat and you're likely to get hooked on one of the ceilings between floors. The waterfall itself can only be a single block (that is to say 1x1 falls) but you still need free space around it to ride up. For example, the ones on the corners of Monroeski Tower in the old server looked something like this:
s = stone
w = water
a = air
s s s
s w a
s a a
I built an Enchanting Table on Floor B1 of The Apartments.
i was on the whitelist as of a few months ago.. can you double check for "norazi"?Quote:

I won the tree game again last night, so there are 5 more stacks of wood in one of the chests.
Well, I'm making progress. I've got signs appearing, but the text is not being displayed. (Every sign is 'undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined')
The markersDB.js file that has the sign text has all of them logged correctly, it's just not displaying them on the actual map. I'll keep working at it, once I get basic signs done, I'll start making a more refined list.
*Edit: Signs are working now. Any suggestions for filters, please let me know.
I got short of breath once playing Deus Ex. I had to get back to the ground from Maggie Chow's apartment and didn't want to bother with the elevator or stairs or whatever so I just turned on god mode and jumped. The ground rushing up at me like that freaked my body out a little bit beyond just the weird feeling I get when doing things like Minecraft jumps, actually made my breathing feel constricted for a second and I had to take a quick water break.Quote:

hopped on the sever for a bit. holy crap have you guys been busy. That said, I'm finding it a pain to traverse the area on foot.
I want mounts or vehicles.
James, FYI, when I was logged in the other day hanging out at the top of your tower I noticed mobs spawning on the upper floors (but not the very top). Almost walked down the stairs into some creepers but noticed them and was able to start picking a few off with my bow before Kama showed up and we finished them off. I only had a single torch on me so I didn't light the place up myself.
Assuming the whitelist is set by MC username can you please add me (JohnMcL7)?
Thanks,
John
Yeah, I know. I've been trying to clean it up and ensure enough lighting, but especially on the side near the stairs with no stone and just the brick work done, you will see kind of a display case of baddies effect at night (every cross beam spawns a single mob). On the side where there is actual floor space, I think I've finished lighting it properly last night. If it is still bad let me know. I was pissed the other day when I saw an enderman on the most recently completed floor and went on something of a torch bender.Quote:

kpxqq, if you see me in game via Steam, try and login and we'll see what we can do. I remember having to teleport Taggart or someone once when they were stuck.
*Edit: Had to run a whitelist reload command on the server, you should be good now John.
Code:whitelist reload
2012-05-24 21:49:43 [INFO] CONSOLE: Reloaded white-list from file
Thanks very much, working perfectly now.
John
Sorry about that. Didn't even think to look if anyone else was online. If I had known you were about I would have said hey. :)Quote:

Server has been posted to the first page.
Thanks!Quote:
