Well, you've been busy. I'm gonna check this out later when I have a chance.

Oh, while I'm here, just saw that Minecraft will eventually launch:

Just got base-raped for the first time. Think it was Sureshot8 (obviously couldn't fly because sand/mud was stacked in various places for access & he logged in very soon after I logged off (was watching the map). Logged in & all my trees were on fire & lava was flowing all over my top floor. Spent half an hour getting the lava under control & found 5 blocks missing from the top of my place (one which held lava back). Went downstairs to contain the rest of the lava & found my farm had also been seriously messed up. Water washing everywhere, cactus' all cut up & sand missing, & a bunch of glass punched out. My only solace is that whoever did it died in the lava & left me their entire stash (why they were carrying 33 diamonds is beyond me). So, I'm all good, but wanted to vent.

I've seen Sureshot do a lot of mischievous things and Taz & I have called him out on it. I'll let Taz know. SureShot is the young son of one of the RAW admins, so he can deal with it being a RAW admin himself.

If you need a hand fixing things LMK.

Also, once it's back in order LMK and I'll save a schematic of your place so we have a backup.

PS: Love the way you decorated your place with the lava. Nice effect.

No help needed, I got it all back in order. Took an hour or so, & about 200 bonemeal (to get the trees back in the arboretum). I was just annoyed that it looked very intentional. I don't see the logic of what they were trying to do, other than possibly get to my roof, but that doesn't explain the path of destruction on the way. I don't mind people dropping by, but it's different if they rearrange the place.

You can back it up whenever if you like. I'm still bit-by-bit improving it, but it would kill me if if it were lost/destroyed.

I don't want to blame anyone unless it's provable. It did seem to have happened around 3:30 this afternoon. I'm not sure if the server logs users or not. I've seen Sureshot do a few things that looked a bit suspect as well. He also seems to spend more time warping to other people's places than actually mining/building (I watch check the map pretty frequently).

Why thanks, I tried to take what I saw & step it up a notch. It's actually pretty neat from the inside as well.

LOL, cute. Yet another Minecraft physics quirk.

Norm, since I don't think you're getting my emails:

Server is now running version 1.5!

- Before updating your Minecraft client, change your texture pack to Default.

- Restart the game and allow it to update. You will now be running 1.5 but you won't have any mods installed.

- I have created a zip file that contains all the mods installed (Flying, Minimap, Enhanced textures). Download it here: http://soldcentralfl.com/bob/minecraft/ ... modded.zip

- Extract the zip file you just downloaded into your \%appdata%\.minecraft\ folder.

- Drexul's textures won't look right. Drex & I are working to update his textures. Meantime you can select the default textures which will actually default to the original 16 bit textures, or you can use the new Minecraft Enhanced 128bit textures which you can download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wriur2y6lrvu8l6

- Place the zip file you just downloaded into your \%appdata%\.minecraft\texturepacks\ folder, then in the game select the new texture pack.

What's weird is that I'm not even getting your mails in my spam folder.

Thanks for the info, I'll play with it later tonight.

Nope, I had your old charter email which is the one in your PCA profile. I've put your new one in my address book and deleted it from the post here to keep Spammer robots from harvesting it.

Didn't figure that the spam bots would dig so deep into the thread for my e-mail. Odd, when I checked my account a few weeks ago, it showed my gmail account.

Wow, even with WorldEdit that is a major labor of love.

Tell me about it. That must have taken hundreds of hours.
