[Cuspar]

Thanks for running the server Jimer - I'm really loving it as a low commitment alternative to MMO type gaming!

[Jimer Lins]

And we're off with a hell of a donation from Cuspar. Thanks, bud!

(ignore my PM, heh)

Just instructed my bank to cut Jimer a $75 check.

[Jimer Lins]

Ya'll are the best. That's about six months covered.

By popular demand, the great wall now has a 2nd gate in the southern desert.

So I am in the middle of a monster slimeball factory (via youtube videos) and the more I am working on it, the more I am thinking and feeling that this is a big waste of time. Effort vrs reward type of thing.

What I was wanting and thinking of building is a small slime harvester and would like some feed back and/or input on this project.

The larger idea is to have a pit in the ground with a slime in it. When it gets to it's large size, pistons would fire off and kill it, to spawn its 4 medium sizes, and then to fire again to kill 3 (ideally) of those off to spawn the small and then farm the small for slimeballs. The intent is to leave one of the medium size slims to grow back into the large and triggering a repeat of the process.

Using repeaters, I believe I can get the pistons to delay to get them down to the small sizes and to keep at least 1 of the mediums, but I am not sure how to go about killing off the smalls and if the mediums grow back into a large slime. Thoughts and advise please.

Well the first thing to know is slimes don't grow its a randomization on what size the slime spawns as, so a small will always be a small, and a medium is always a medium.

Also not totally against using pistons but the last time I did something like this I used moving water to push the slims into fencing that would have the water move the small slimes under the fence and beat up the larger ones until they became small and then collect the small slimes in a place to kill manually. Since slimes killed by the environment don't drop slime balls. The only thing to check would be if the slimes pushed against the fence still hurts them.

slimes killed by the environment don't drop slime balls.

Is that true? Every once in a while I'll be traveling around swamps and find slimeballs sitting in the water there slimes apparently drowned. Or maybe Cuspar just killed them and let them there

Cuspar doesn't have time to be asked where he wants his receipt, do you really think he has time to pick up all those slimeballs?

[Maizan]

Well, I guess it is back to my hole in the ground.

You're damn skippy, I don't.

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.

So is this what the problem is?

org.bukkit.material.Door
No longer functions. Do not use.

[Jimer Lins]

Where did you find that? I've been tracking Bukkit bug reports and haven't seen anything on it.

[Whiteness]

I just did a search for: Bukkit door 1.7.9

http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/apidocs/org/bu ... /Door.html


edit: I wasn't sure when it was deprecated.

[Bulwark]

I hate it when someone deprecates functionality, but doesn't list it's replacement in the docs.

[Bulwark]

you could rewrite it using the blockPlaceEvent, but that would introduce a lot of unnecessary code calls. Maybe use the PaintingPlaceEvent and use the same setup, but place a painting above the door to trigger it?

[Jimer Lins]

There's no released code for it so if I made a new one it'd be starting from scratch. We could devise our own functionality for it, though- instead of doors we could make it switches, pressure plates, whatever.

I'm open to suggestions.

[Jimer Lins]

In all seriousness, i can spin up a Github repository if anyone wants to work on a replacement portal plugin with me. It'll probably take some time to get right.

[Whiteness]

The last code I wrote was a java program to determine the fee my 21 year old roomate should charge minors to buy them booze 13 years ago.

I don't think I'd be much help

[Whiteness]

Apparently it's been deprecated since sometime in 2013.

[Blackferne]

Server seems to be down. Not a huge deal for me at the moment, but figured I should report it.

[Jimer Lins]

Server host seems to be offline too, I can't get to the website. I'll see what I can do.

[Jimer Lins]

Called the server host and left a message. I'll keep bugging them. Sorry, guys!

[Maizan]

My nephew of about 12 years in age is a big minecraft player. Would it be ok for him to join our server?

Thanks,

Maizan
