Minecraft

[Mic_128]

Was speaking with Seig earlier and we both came to the conclution it would be awesome if we had a Minecraft server for the smash scene. Are there people who'd be interested in doing something like this?

For those who don't know what Minecraft is, check this fanmade trailer.

[Leisha]

I would soooo be in.

I love minecraft :D but yeah, old server i used to play in isnt active anymore :/

We need a smash server lulz..

make it happen!

 

[Sieg]

That's what we were thinking about so yeah. I want to make houses with everyone XD

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Glorious! =D

 

[xXArrowXx]

ide be keen.. when i get better computer.

 

[Robsta]

I would, playing on AusMC atm but a smash one would be awesome.

 

[Zxv]

I don't play personally. My computer is too bad. I like watching others at Uni play, though.

 

[Marteh]

Hell yeah!

 

[EverAlert]

A minecraft server is a good idea, I probably wouldnt participate cause I cbf tho lol.

your computer is good enough for runescape but not minecraft? that is so ***-backward that it could only possibly occur in da hood, yo.

protip: they both run on java and I am 99.9% sure minecraft has a much greater resource efficiency than runescape, just sayin'.

 

[Leisha]

Actually, java is a terrible program for games to run on. It actually takes up ALOT of cpu usage. I had to actually stop playing it simply because it was ****** my computer

 

[TakFR]

Solution, get a better computer

 

[CaLibUr_1337]

^ What he said. I find it hilarious that Minecraft is too demanding.

Anyway we should all make a fortress and call it smash HQ or something C=

 

[Zxv]

That excuse was basically my way of saying I'm not interested in other games, lol.

This is true. The computer often gets very hot whilst playing minecraft and often slows down.

I've already dedicated my minecraft time to another server, if however there is a smash one I'd love to check it out every now and then.

Yeah....no.

 

[Rad]

Nice rebuttal andrew

 

[luke_atyeo]

die one thousand deaths

 

[EverAlert]

Leisha -- I'm not saying Java is good for games, I'm saying because they both run on Java they can be compared in terms of performance.

Andrew -- Oh? Well if I'm wrong then I'm wrong, but it seemed to me like the whole Minecraft system was much simpler than Runescape's, just could not see how it was more demanding. That said, ***en elaborate son, get your proof on.

 

[Leisha]

It has to load all the blocks on the screen, I think even the air counts as chunks. Thats why the game is just really demanding onto the computer

 

[Silfa]

I like to dig holes.

I'm really noob at the multiplayer part of the game. I never know what to do, so I just forget about it. A smash server would be cool though, it would probably keep me interested.

 

[C~Dog]

Make a space elevator!

Oh wait apparently you can only go like 64 blocks up, what a rip.

 

[EverAlert]

blegh this ended up being a lot longer than intended, sorryyyyyyy.

The air counts as chunks in terms of data but they obviously have 0 toll when rendering. Even visible blocks will only ever need to render a max of 6 polygons each (2 poly per face, only 3 faces can be visible at a time), and will almost always only need to render 2 or 4 polys. So even if you look out into the distance, that is what, maybe 1000 or so polys being rendered, possibly more if it's a *really* complex landscape. Most of the time you're just mining or whatever, i.e. looking at a wall, you'd be rendering maybe 24 polys or so. Let's say you're out looking around inside a house you built or the mine is fairly large, still only maybe 100 polys being rendered.

Seriously in terms of rendering Minecraft is not complex at all. >.>

Compared to Runescape which I imagine has what, 70-100+ poly per character, plus landscape (let's say 100poly visible at a time), random objects (trees (50poly), fences (20poly), etc.), not to mention buildings. Even if you have a completely empty landscape with one player in it, more polys are being rendered per frame than in a typical Minecraft setting. The main thing Runescape has going for it is a much lesser draw distance, but you can limit that in Minecraft anyway.

Sorry if I sound forceful at all, it's not the intention, just trying to explain my point of view.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

atm I'm sitting in my minecrap house and according to my Task Manager it's taking up > 1,100,000 K memory.

I don't know what that means though, but I assume it's bad.

 

[EverAlert]

fffffff javaaaaa!!!!!!!!

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Java is pretty crap.

When it crashes, it takes up even more memory. =D

 

[Zxv]

Man, why are you always so angry, EA? Ragey-mc-i'm-a-researcher-ragerson.

 

[C~Dog]

A new Zelda game is coming out, he's just a pissed that he's going to be beaten again.

 

[CaLibUr_1337]

Jesusrape.moo.com

Don't question the name. That's my friends server lol

 

[EverAlert]

i'd rather be pissed off all the time than a runescape player.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

lolea .

 

[xXArrowXx]

i need a legit copy (company policy -.-) for my work computer (recently got).. maybe it will work.

 

[luke_atyeo]

lol, thats true.
****ing runescape
I played that waaaaay back in the day when it first came out, before it was all 3d, and had music, and became **** and terrible

 

[undead_moose]

I don't understand Luke... You said you played it when it was good.... Not when it was terrible...

So you never did play it?




As for minecraft I could never play it I woul make a stone stick man and that would be the greatest of my creativeness

 

[luke_atyeo]

pretty much hey

 

[xXArrowXx]

i played it when they didn't have knees

 

[Marteh]

Anyway back to the topic, would be nice to know the possibilities of this happening

 

[Aussierob123]

Yea for sure I'm sick of playing offline guys. Somebody host already.

 

[Marteh]

It's like that..offline I get bored and remake a world every 2 days or so lol. Too much effort to excavate a **** load by yourself

 

[Aussierob123]

Cmon where the server at? I am building a 30x80 monster trap and this **** is paaainful solo.

Tried to mine for diamond pick axes to speed it up but that's ****ing tedious in itself!

 

[Leisha]

would be nice to have a smash server going
