We just have to set up a TWHL meetup somewhere in neutral grounds and bring a router. Everyone is happy.

I tried to get into Source mapping a few weeks ago. I can't explain why, but I feel a bit overwhelmed by it, despite it being pretty much the same as GS.

Didn't Hammer have an option somewhere to draw lines between interacting entities that didn't really do anything?

Cap'n, try vanilla for a few days, get comfortable with it. Large mod packs are not for the faint of heart :P

I've been playing for quite a while now and I still feel overwhelmed by the amount of things these mod packs add. It'll take time to get acquainted with everything.

Thanks Rim, I did a quick internet search and came up with nothing. I didn't even know it was one of the mods. Guess I spoiled the surprise for everyone :P

I'll investigate. I'll also need a Batman skin :badass:

Joined the server
It was night.
Zombies surrounded me.
Logging out and back in used to despawn the mobs. It didn't.
Zombies killed me right before daylight killed them.
I respawned a few metres back.
As a zombie.
Daylight killed ME.
Twice.
Fuck this shit.
Less than a minute in-game and I'm already in a predicament I can't get myself out of. I didn't know it was even possible to turn into a zombie.

OH NOES! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TWHL BANK? D:

+ Biomes O'Plenty. That'll add a great variety to everything.
+ Galacticraft. Gives everyone a sort of ultimate goal! I like that. I've played it but never managed to get anywhere yet.
+ Project Red. Excellent replacement for the cables, logic and lights from Red Power.
+ Sync. BECAUSE WHY NOT.
  • Secret Rooms. That mod is weird.
  • I'd have loved to see Railcraft on that list. Especially if there's great distances to travel. Partially mitigated by Sync, but still I maintain my point.
  • No Computercraft. Missed the opportunity to set up communication stations.
  • WHERE DID THE TWHL BANK GO D:

Stop teasing us with pretty pictures, I want to play The Core already.

I have to agree with that annotation for the last picture, that looks a bit odd. But if that's the biggest problem there is to find... you're doing good.

Just not often. My laptop has Win7, and my desktop has XP, but I barely use it anymore. Mostly when I need an old file, and... pretty much nothing else. The bios battery is dead, even. Wonder if it's worth getting a new one.

Lag is excessive network latency. You only get an overhead while your client downloads the pack, right after you join, and then it's all client-side so after that everything should be the same as before.

What I've noticed is that the pack is not cached, it's downloaded every time even if it's not changed. They should cache it somehow...

Spanish translations of Windows say "Inicio", Russian versions say "&#1087;&#1091;&#1089;&#1082;", Chinese versions say "<chinese gibberish>" so that's no excuse.

Curious translation of Windows. "My computer" is labelled "Computer resources" and "Recycle bin" just "bin". Even more curious is that "Start" is still "Start".

They're not selling the users anything, so what's left? They're selling the users. You've given them all that personal and unique individually identifying information all other sites try to forcefully extract from you. More than they could ever wish for. And there's plenty of people willing to pay top dollar for that. I really can't understand what they could want it for, but I don't have the malice large corporations are known for.

So yeah, that's where they get all that money.

You know the streets are actually convex, not concave, so that rainfall flows over to the sides rather than the middle.

That new aspect of minecarts kind of sucks. They were alright as they were, although I still prefer the mod and the possibilities it adds. Directional tracks, junctions, and the ability to link carts into trains.

I still haven't found a picture that feels worth including.

...or maybe I have.

Shame it's running the latest version of Minecraft. Railcraft would really improve transportation. Although seeing that Forge for 1.7 is already out, RC may not be that far from releasing an update. It improves on rail transportation a lot and adds generation for some extra resources.

When was the map render last updated?

I've been working on the bank, there's going to be a display case for the Dragon Egg (who has the egg?), although I'm not sure if it should be on the ground floor or the basement. I'm asking because there has to be one on each level. The display case on the ground floor might be magnificent, but some may want the safe easily accessible. Opinions?

In your screenshot, the error is much less than 1 unit. In my case, the error was around 3-4 units. Yes, THAT bad.

Sorry, scrapped the whole map. I was trying to VM an arch to make a round hole in a square block. Done countless times in GS without a hitch. But now, the triangles refused to go into the square's corners or anything close to it. I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks Captain, first class introduction!

It's curious that you mention the off-grid vertices. I just tried to do some extremely simple VM and screwed it all up. It refused to move my points to anywhere near a 1-unit grid and everything looked weird. I wasn't even using a very close zoom.

Does this mean I have to learn how to make models?

I had already run EP2 before and still had the errors, but I followed Archie's instructions and everything seems to work just fine.

So far I'm just messing with it and tossing brushes around. I could really use Tetsuo's book right now :P
