Offtopic / Minecon 2015 (4th - 5th July)
« on: June 22, 2015, 01:22:47 pm »

This topic will be for the discussion and information about Minecon, London 2015. If you don't know what Minecon is, it is an official Minecraft convention held at different places around the world every year or two, the last being held in Florida in 2013. There are panels, lots of people and everything you could want Minecrafty with other Minecraft fans.

So, what do you want to see this year? Are you or do you want to go? Looking forward to the frequently awkward costume contest? What did you like about previous Minecons?

I'll be attending as a Minecon Agent this year, I'm looking forward to hopefully having a go at the Microsoft's Hololens with Minecraft. So long as there's not an overload of people trying it (which there probably will...), it looks like awesome new angle of Minecraft.

Server News / Introducing Creative Spleef!
« on: May 29, 2015, 12:58:11 pm »


creative.opticraft.net

Hello everyone! Today we are happy to have released our custom spleef plugin onto the Creative server. If you haven't heard of spleef before, the aim is to be the last player standing in the arena and destroy the blocks below your opponents to make them fall into the pit below, without down falling yourself - if you fall, you lose. This is a fun little game that we hope everyone will enjoy!

To join a spleef game simply type /spleef in any world and you will be placed into the queue. Once the game starts, you will be taken to your spawn point in the arena. You can also see other players playing by typing /j spleef to enter the world.

Features:
  • /spleef command
  • Queuing system
  • Up to 4 players
  • Automatic repairs
  • New statistics
  • Winner announcements

We have found and fixed as many bugs as possible (if you find any we have missed be sure to let us know) and also made it as simple and quick to use as possible. So, what are you waiting for? /spleef!

Server News / Creative Server Player Stats

creative.opticraft.net
smp.opticraft.net

I know a fair few of you have been asking for stats for a while, and those of you wanting to see and compare them to one another will be happy to know the Creative server now has fully functioning statistics for players loaded onto it! These statistics include...

  • Join Date - The day a player joined (DD/MM/YYYY), will start recording from today.
  • Last Online - When a player last logged into the server, or if they are online.
  • Total Logins - How many times a player has connected to the server.
  • Time Online - Total time a player has spent on the server, currently in seconds.
  • Blocks Placed - Total number of blocks placed by a player, doesn't include World Edit.
  • Blocks Broken - Total number of blocks griefed. Uhh, I mean, broken (please don't grief).
  • Lines Spoken - How many times a player has sent a chat message, doesn't include commands.
  • Total Votes - Total number of votes a player has attained, will not reset at the end of a month.

To view a player's stats, simply type /stats <player>

The stats are updated every time you log out of the server, so they will not update instantly when you are on the server. Because of the way this is set up it might be possible for web stats in the future, but for now, enjoy seeing how much life is wasted doing what you love! Big thanks to DeeKay for creating this additional part to the custom plugin!

Events / [COMPLETE] Build Event #3 Winners
« on: January 15, 2015, 06:48:21 pm »
Welcome to the signup thread for Event #3. Read what this event will be about and what will be required below and add a reply to this thread with your in-game name so you can be added into the list of participants. If you do not sign up you will not be able to join. You have until 21st January to sign up!


What is the theme?
The theme for this event is more specific. You might have seen the Metropolis city some of the staff have been building, and for this event we will be looking for modern themed skyscrapers to fill the downtown area of the city.

What are we looking for?
We are looking for clean, modern looking skyscrapers that fit with the scale of the Metropolis world (/j metropolis). Builds don't necessarily need an interior, but make sure the detail on the outside makes up for this! Bright pale colours for the building will probably look best, but again it's up to you if you think you can work around it.

Resource pack?
Default

Minimum rank?
Guest

How long?
3 Weeks | 21st January - 11th February

All builds that have reasonable quality and are finished (or close to finished) will be used within the downtown area in the Metropolis world.

Good luck to all who sign up!

Projects/Creations / Metropolis
« on: January 11, 2015, 02:15:27 am »
Metropolis

This is the elusive Metropolis build thread, which is a project that a group of SMP staff members begun a long, long, long... Long, time ago.



Ever wanted to see Metropolis?
Well, now you can using /j Metropolis or view it on the live map:
http://creative.opticraft.net:8123/?worldname=Metropolis

This map is fixed, but updates as soon as a new tile is rendered:
(click to show/hide)



Below I've put together a FAQ...

What is Metropolis?
"Metropolis" if you haven't already taken a guess from the name is, a large and modern  looking city consisting of a large downtown area full of big skyscrapers, home of OptiCorp, large roads, an industrial area, large sandy bridges, the Metropolis suspension bridge, the OptiStadium and a lot more to come.

Who is working on it, can I join?
I'm not going to say you can't ask, but if the answer is no don't ask again (the answer will most likely be a no, sorry). This doesn't mean you can't contribute! If you've made a nice looking skyscraper and think it'd look nice in the world, feel free to send me a message on the forums with some pictures and I'll happily take a look if it's decent (remember, the floor in metropolis is at Y 65 (ish) so nothing too huge *looks at doug*).

Myself, Loaf and Nick are currently the main contributors and myself and Nick are the project leads. As for members, we have some, will make sure everyone knows what they are doing at some point.

What have you got planned?
I have so many ideas, I'll split it into what is planned for the near-future and anything else...

Near Future:
  • Finish the river edges - Gotta be done before adding water
  • Finish beach - Again, needs to be done to add water
  • Add roads - Other side of the river, around OptiStadium (south), residential area (east)
  • Continue adding skyscrapers to downtown - Needs to be filled!
  • Big highway - Off the ground, 3+ lanes, got a neat idea and a "spaghetti" junction
  • Continue industrial area - Add more warehouses, factories, oil plant etc
  • Rail system - Linking up cargo transport in industrial area, possibly large passenger station
  • Metro / Subway system - There are some station entrances set up, will create a map of routes eventually
  • "Tobs the bridge isn't finished" "When's the bridge gonna be finished?" - On the todo list...

Possible additions:
  • Residential houses
  • Schools / Universities / Colleges
  • Parks
  • Airport (I really want to do this when I get a chance and space)
  • Zoo (DK is lead zoo keeper)
  • Car race track / Grand stands / Pits etc.
  • Theme park (no, penguin. bigger - like didneyworld)
  • Hospital

We are focusing on the downtown and main city part for now however.

Can we see some fancy pictures?
Soon, yeah. Or come see yourself in the meantime.
<pics here>



I will be updating this post soon and the people taking part in the project will be able to post updates of their builds if they like. I hope you guys like it, I'm looking forward to seeing it develop even more!
