I believe there is an even better way. Text! Just post a sign and write what the tunnel is going to, or what cardinal direction. Albeit, it is slower to read, but could contain more information then a simple color coordination.Quote:

Torches give only one color and they're very easy to knock down.Quote:

I do think that tunnels should at least have a sign at every entrance/exit/fork saying generally where they go.

Motion to start a PvP guns server.
I think we'll have to find another server for that. Mine is barely handling things as is.Quote:

*Edit: Update: google api map will be down for a bit. Trying to upgrade to the latest code base so we can get beta textures in the maps. (The pyramid of invisibility finally got to me.)
*Edit 2: Had to completely flush the cachedir and start from scratch. Updates of the map are disabled, and the server will be sluggish for several hours at least until the intial build of the map data is complete. To give you an idea, it's nearly 4GB (3.7GB) of images it has to composite at this point in our game map. It takes a long time on a 1.6GHz dual core Opteron. Once the initial build is complete, updates only take a few minutes. Once the initial map build is complete, I will enable updates to progress normally. I really wish I could afford to upgrade the server. :p
*Edit 3: Wow I'm dumb. Forgot to copy over the latest minecraft.jar terrain.png file, without that even the updated code base can't render the new types of blocks. I'll take care of that once I get to work (easier from there) and I'll kick off the map render again. :rolleyes:
It's not ONLY found there, I think it's just most likely found there.Quote:

You never play any more anyway. :pQuote:

Latest code base is installed, and I completely regenerated the map. That being said, it looks like sandstone is still borked somehow. Shows up either transparent, or bright fuchsia purple-pink.

The tunnel connecting all my bases from Monroeski Mine to OGWAI is now complete.
I've been filling in that hole in the bottom part of the map, and there are a few areas down there with a TON of sand, if anybody's still looking for some.
Lol, good post!Quote:

Yeah, look for the big white line on the map north of the pyramid. All that glass doesn't just build itself. :pQuote:

I have at least two ideas for projects that I'd like to work on.
