Jimer, we can't seem to be able to create new portals. Any ideas?

Re: Minecraft Server Thread
Not right offhand, but I'll look into it. Are there any errors when you try to make one? Messages?

I checked the logs, there's no errors or messages at all about portals. I'll log in later and try to test out making one, see what happens.

Re: Minecraft Server Thread
I tested it and couldn't make a portal. I also noticed that when I placed a door it didn't make the characteristic "thunk" sound that it should when placing one. Can you guys verify the same thing?
It makes me think there may be a bug in the current version of Bukkit that's not firing an event when a door is placed. The bukkit issue tracker has nothing on it, but I'll look into the diffs from pre-1.7.9 and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Re: Minecraft Server Thread
If it is a Bukkit bug, we can roll back but that means losing the changes since yesterday's update. The existing portals work and once that issue with Bukkit is sorted out we should be able to make new ones.

No, I agree with no rollback. We may have to deal without being able to make new portals for a little while, but that's not a major problem. In an absolute worst case scenario I'll write my own version of a portal plugin.

Yeah, the portals are great but they do come with a tradeoff that we don't use as much "traditional" transportation like roads and rails.

That said, teleporters make things like the UFO and my Sky Island easier to work on. I would hate to have to swim up or take a ladder up there every time I needed to do something.

Dude, it's awesome. I love it, and I hope you do. I'd love to see a more integrated rail system with stations and such, so you can stop at points of interest and check stuff out, or just keep going.Whiteness wrote:My Eastern rail is soooo booooorrrriiinnnnngggg.

Re: Minecraft Server Thread
I do underground rails all the time. Almost prefer when I want it to be more complicated, though I do tend to use a train borer from railcraft.Jimer Lins wrote:Dude, it's awesome.

I need to go back through and do stuff to it, I just NEED to find a good endpoint. I think every 500m or 1km I would do something like expanding the tunnel and adding lights or decorations (it'd double as a sort of mile marker system as well).Jimer Lins wrote:Dude, it's awesome.

If there are any suggestions for points of interest to connect, I'd be happy to try and connect them, it just seems that most stuff is either right in town or way too far.

So I have started clearing out the chuck that is located beside my house.
Enjoy

Hey Jimer - do you want to arrange something for us to kick in our fair share for the server costs?

I pay it via PayPal, so If you want to send me a few bucks via PayPal, that'd be great. If you send it to cyclometh@gmail.com, I'll keep it in my PayPal balance, and keep a running tab, and post it here so we all know what the current total is (and so we know I'm not spending it on beer money). 
It's 18.9 Euros a month, which is about $22 or so, but varies a little depending on the current exchange rate.
