General Discussion / Who knows when I'll come back on :/ - tbpb2010
« on: October 05, 2012, 01:59:05 am »
Sup Opticrafters, I'll keep this one short: I probably won't come back due to stuff going on in my life (ugh how many times have I said this?) so for now I guess this is goodbye Opticraft  :'(.  I've had some great memories with some awesome people here and I hope this place continues to be a haven for minecrafters to come on and have fun.

Peace, tbpb2010

Also on a side note I'm abanding the Community's Tower project, I've posted in the topic about how I want it to be handled.

Hey Opticrafters I finally got Official Minecraft working on my Windows XP AMD Semphron 3400+ @ 2.0ghz with 512mb of ram with an ONBOARD ATI Xpress 200 graphics card.  For some, you probably don't know what the heck that means. For others, you know that I just performed a miracle.  I don't know how I got Minecraft to perform at acceptable speeds (20-30fps) on a computer with onboard graphics released in 2002 but I'm not complaining :) 

My summer's been pretty good, just bracing myself for another round of college and dealing with the incompetence of the staff at my apartments. (I almost got signed up for a plan that would've made my rent $100 more than what I was suppose to be paying...darned con artists....luckily I called to see my status and caught their error in time)
Lately all I've been doing is voting for Opticraft and playing some of the Technic pack offline but I WILL BE BACK ON SMP SOON!!!! Oh and I can't wait to enter the new logo contest, I got something VERY SPECIAL IN MIND :P

(Man I hope there isn't too much damage on Community's Tower >.> cuz I still plan on finishing that btw)

General Discussion / Will Be back soon :) - tbpb2010
« on: May 22, 2012, 06:27:40 pm »
Sup Opticrafters, just giving ppl a heads up I will be getting back on soon though not as soon as I had hoped.  I'm done with my finals and did pretty good (especially in Physics)! So I'm happy :D I wanted to start getting on regulary by the 15th but seeing as I have a bunch of stuff to deal with at home I probably won't be getting on till some time in June.  Look out for me when I do come on :P

Also if anyone desperately needs me to come on now because of anything feel free to let me know via reply to this topic or pm. 

I'm lookin foward to sniping creepers and building masterpieces :)

Accepted - Project/HOF Applications / City App - Community's Tower
« on: April 21, 2012, 05:18:21 pm »
City name: Community's Tower

City location: X -106 Z 1045

Contributors: Many, many people. One's I can think off of the top of my head are: yajeetz, logan5353, cocacoladunn, soulknightgt, kian57, salascraft, clawstrider, uzbeksock, nick3306.  They've contributed alot in various ways whether it was helping me build, earn money, or supplying me with building material.  I'm very grateful :)

Mayor (Only one - this is the zone owner): tbpb2010 - myself

Approximate dimensions: 400x300 (Just width and length right?)

Number of active residents: I guess two at the moment, myself and yajeetz although I currently have no real homes built there yet.  Of course that'll change once I have made more progress.

Number of completed, decorated and furnished buildings:  It's hard to say.  I've constructed 5 "discs" capable of holding many, many homes.  Each disc is made of glass, cobble, and wood. The first disc (North Residental Disc) has the inn im working on.  There's a central shaft with a spiral glass window where all the discs have bridges to.  The shaft has a non-functioning zipper elevator (thanks lag >.>) and a spiral staircase im very proud of with multiple layers.  These layers will hold places for vending stalls to be placed.  The topmost disc will become a dome of sorts eventually. I'm in the process of building the massive archways to define the dome's curvature.

What state is the project in, and what are your plans for its future, if any:  It's still very in a very early stage.  I've complete the main "skeleton" of the project and is now working on detail work like the inns, themes, and scenery.

Why should we grant this city protection?  Well I currently have 90+ coal ps stones protecting the 1st level of the project.  My project can basically be divided into 4 levels which would most definitely need more than 500+ ps stones easily.  I made an auto melon farm with others in hopes of generating a consistent flow of funds for buying ps stones but witht the cut of sellback prices, this will take even longer to do.  This project gets griefed ALOT and I'm tired of having to travel to every nook and cranny of a project I'm still trying to build to bother mods for undoing grief.  Many people have helped me with this project and I wish I can preserve their influence on this build.  I understand that this build may not have enough detail work and I'm in the process of adding more, but with griefing being a consistent issue, I feel I need to at least try to get full protection as soon as possible.  Also it's really frusterating when I have to enable every ps stone for when my friends are trying to help me.

I've decided to make seperate topics for the main components of the Community's Tower for the sake of not having too much stuff in a single topic.  This topic is going to be focused on the "Residental Discs" that surround the central shaft of the tower.
LINK to Community's Tower MAIN TOPIC: http://www.opticraft.net/index.php/topic,6624.0.html

Concerning the poll: I've already chosen a green field-like theme for the North Disc and I wanna know what the community would like to see because, well it's called the "Community's Tower" Also feel free to suggest new themes to be added to polls! If it isn't a redundant or boring theme I'll add it. People can vote up to 4 times and change their votes!  This may be because when I show pictures, they might not want that anymore.  The imagination sees only what it wants to see :P

Residental Discs:
There are 5 residental discs that face West, Northwest, North, Northeast, and East so I'll refer to them as such until I decide for more better names for each area :P

Basically each disc will have it's own theme and be developed as such:

^The North Disc - Green Fields Themed

The "zones" in the image shows where the INN and the statue will be built. 
INN:  Each disc will have an inn. The Inn will be based on the theme chosen.  It'll probably be no more than 3 stories and is mainly for newcomers to rest, have acess to crafting tables, room chest, furnances, and a bed (which probably will never be used on this server :P) I may also grant access to enchantment tables for free or $1 fee.  Also there will be a lobby and a lounge with food either for free or again $1.

Statue: Each disc will have a themed statue. I may have design contests to decide what the statues for the others discs will be if people are interested.  I'm debating on how big the dimensions for the statue's space should be so I'll probably be updating this very soon.

Housing:  There will be prebuilt homes in each disc and will be available for new residents to move in immediately.  These houses will be built in the building zone in the image above. The citizens can decide whether to keep the pre-built home they got, or tear it down and build another.  Of course citizens could just build their own home in the free space and can build it with any size.  HOWEVER, I will judge on whether they are being too greedy with the surface area of the land because there need to be room for other citizens as well.  Building as high as the want is perfectly fine.  Housing on the top "floor" can have stairs coming down to the bottom floor as long as they aren't too invasive and look decent enough. I will probably not charge citizens to build if they provide their own materials and don't take too much space.  I may charge if the space is ridiculously large.

Roads. Lightning, and Scenery: There will be a block layer for each disc dedicated to defining the roads of the disc and can be expanded upon as more citizens move in and create structures.  Lightening will be kept enough so mobs don't spawn (uunlike it is now XD)  Scenery may be harvested by anyone i.e. trees AS LONG AS IT IS REPLANTED.  If it gets too excessive I may only allow certain people to harvest scenery.

North Disc:Details and Theming are in progress (4/20/12)
The disc is going to be a Green Field themed area.  There will be a tree in the middle that represents the architecture of the tower.

General Discussion / Probably Won't Be On SMP As Often - tbpb2010
« on: April 18, 2012, 01:52:06 am »
Hey Opticrafters just giving everyone a heads up that I probably won't be able to come on as often as I would like because of my college classes having a very annoying habit of giving me tests after tests after tests after tests after.... well you get the idea  :D 

Long story short, I will need time to study and prepare for upcoming tests for the rest of April and also finals week(s) which will be the first part of May.  If anyone who I'm working with on this server needs to contact me or something feel free to send me a message as I will check the forums often!

Support / Uh oh, yet another PS glitch? This time with water! :D
« on: April 13, 2012, 01:29:31 am »
So I've been working on an auto-farm to the sky and it seems that when a water ladder was made down to the bottom this happens:

That water at the top left corner stays up there and doesn flow down.  My lapiz lazuli ps's boundaries stop right where the water is stopping so it's like the ps stone is preventing the water from flowing down which is normal for people who aren't allowed.  Only problem is, I placed the water.....

All that stuff on top of the cobble platform wasn't approved by me.  I've spoken with Xeadin and Logan about this and I hope to get it removed.  I'm not entirely sure when it will be removed so Cocacoladunn if you are reading this I want to ask you to move this stuff out.  If you're willing to have it removed either yourself or by the mods because of my request, I will argue that you shouldn't get banned because you agreed to have it removed.

Projects and Creations / Nedas321's Epic Castle - For Sale [AUCTION]
« on: March 31, 2012, 07:01:41 pm »
Hey Opticrafters we have a castle on the market  ;D  Built by nedas321 (and with some slight help from me) we made this piece of architecture!








On behalf of nedas I'm making this post for him.  So the opening bid is $10K (Obviously its worth more than that :P but you gotta start somewhere)

Bidding will go on for a week so after that the aution will close and highest bidder wins.
All money goes to nedas321 so when the place is sold, pay him in-game to receive it.

UPDATE 4/1/12: HIGHEST BIDDER: DOOMKNIGHT $11,000

Suggestions / Light-Blue Wool = $350?
« on: March 11, 2012, 02:21:25 am »
At the market the light-blue wool is marked $350 (and charges $350 too :P) so I'm wondering is this on purpose or a typo someone made?  All the other wool is marked $250.


(top-right one)

For those who have hastily updated to 1.2, Optic is getting the server ready for the big update.  If you currently have 1.2 and can't access the server, most likely he hasn't updated yet. If you made a back up of your original 1.1 minecraft.jar file u can use that to replace the updated 1.2 jar until Opticraft is fully updated.  If you don't have a back up then please WAIT PATIENTLY!  The server will be updated soon!


Here's Optic's update topic (lol who else noticed Optic is topic scrambled? :P)

Support / 4 Votes = 3 Diamonds?
« on: February 22, 2012, 03:43:51 am »
Just curious if I'm the only one who's been affected by this.  It seems that recently (like the past 2 days) when I vote on all 4 sites I only get 3 diamonds.  I've voted correctly and have gotten 4 diamonds in the past so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to verify, transfer to site, yada yada....  So anyone else in my shoes?

Support / OptiCraft SMP Commands
« on: February 06, 2012, 09:34:13 pm »
I've been searching for a topic that shows all the commands available to players in the OptiCraft SMP server and so far I have yet to find one in these (unless I'm blind :P) so I'd like to start a topic that shows all the cmds available, who can use them and a short description of what it does. 

Also if there isn't a list out there for these cmds people can update this list by posting and I'll edit it in the top post. Would also like to get this topic stickied so people can have a reference besides their heads.

So mods, is this a good idea?

Support / There's A Bridge Through My Project - tbpb2010
« on: February 06, 2012, 05:05:20 am »
I'm aware that at the time the bridge was built I hadn't started on this section of my project, although the bridge still would've cross right over other parts of my project that were completed at the time. 

I want to know who claims rights to this bridge and if we can negotiate a work around with this bridge. 

I don't mind a bridge connecting to my tower that I'm making (although I'd prefer the bridge to go around until I know how I want to lay things out in my tower because its a large WIP)

So whoever owns this bridge, what did you have planned to do with this bridge?

Suggestions / Slimeballs in the Market - REQUEST
« on: January 30, 2012, 04:26:38 pm »
Forgive me if this has already been discussed but there have been many occasions where players need many slimeballs but either no-one has any for sale or there just seems to be 1 person who has like maybe one stack?

I feel that adding slimeballs to the market would definitely be a plus for this server because I don't know if its just me but slimes are pretty hard to find (I'm not sure if slime spawners exist).  The only thing I know slimeballs are used for are sticky pistons which I know a few people including myself would love to make alot of.
