With the server being down and thus no access to Fenris, I figured I would start on a side project:
*snip*

Awesome!  Have it shoot wool lasers at a Scorpion!

And the arm itself is done. All fine details will be done after the Apollo is complete.

This may be because it's a dev build of bukkit, but because Jeb changed the freaking biome code again, I did a test...

Using the map files on my 1.0 bukkit server, I flew to a ungenerated section of the map...  And look what I found...

"From now on I need to have backwards compatibility"

"No it means that when the world gen changes, the old maps will still use an old world gen for compatibility"

Really now...  I don't look forward to having to tell my players that the map might have to be restarted...  again

Would I be correct in assuming that the Vrga who just started following me on Twitter is someone from HLP? Just curious...

Nothing a massive amount of terraforming can't fix, right?

I think there's only one small corner of my as-yet-explored SP map that used the 1.0 terrain gen, and that consists of an ocean biome that just sort of abruptly forms a corner.  I found it rather amusing when I stumbled across it.

Not at all.

Second arm and enough enough body to connect them finished.

[JCDNWarrior]

I don't mean to be impatient, but i'm curious what the status is on fixing the server, what has to happen, any estimation of time till fixed?

[Mongoose]

Yeah, I've resorted to mating random animals on my SP map to kill the time.

I started a new SP map when 1.0 came out that I've been playing a lot more lately. I discovered that it has an area somewhat close to ground zero (0,0) where 3 underground ravines intersect, forming a lopsided triangle between them all. They're all nice epic ravines with intersecting caverns, mineshafts, and water/lava falls. I plan to hollow out the center triangular section (replacing the walls with a glass & columns facade) for all the various farms and facilities I want to build. I might start taking screenies of the progress.

[pecenipicek]

well, my server is still up and running, just so you know

Another Apollo Update: The central body is mostly complete, same with the neck.

From one side, its got this lucifer look going on


And from the other looks like a pod racer


As seen on the minimap, its starting to flush out and look like an actual Apollo.

[watsisname]

Looks great so far!

[Mongoose]

Since the server's been down for a while now, I need something else to occupy my time in-game, and I think I may have just found it: MystCraft.  Myst is one of my all-time favorites, and this looks like a really cool re-creation of the game.  There's another one of Riven in the works, too.  Someone posted about these on the Myst Online forums, mainly because they're working on a legitimate linking book mod themselves.

Come to think of it, I should check out that Portal mod too...

I've been lurking on the beast node forums the last couple of days, and there's no mention of any DOS attacks.

I've been lurking on the beast node forums the last couple of days, and there's no mention of any DOS attacks.

It's a combination of original difficulties, not finding an exact cause of those, the DDoS attack preventing me finding the cause of the problems and being busy with exams at the moment so I'm unable to diagnose the original issue still. All I need is one free evening, but I'm utterly swamped.
rhx has admin access too, but I think he's rather busy as well.

You could at least have planned the server going down to coincide with the internet-wide SOPA protests...

...oh, wait.
