ok, so i just downloaded the latest version and the minecart test (the second one with the redstone) and the infinite minecart wasnt working. You should probably fix it
Just as a heads-up, I updated EC3 to work with Minecraft Beta 1.6 for my own personal use (I wanted to play it in SMP with a friend). This basically involved re-engineering all the mine cart rooms to work with powered rails and still act as the creators intended them to.
I was thinking of sending the schematics of the updated rooms to merlinus12 and MrScaryMuffin once I actually play through it and everything works. But in the meantime if there's anyone out there itching to play EC3 badly enough, send me a PM and I'll give you what I have. :smile.gif:
I haven't heard from Merlinus12 in a long time. Last I heard he was busy moving to a new city and starting a new job. I think it is safe to assume that he is inactive for the time being and it is justifiable to post community-maintained versions of these maps (like I did for EscapeCraft 2).
If it bothers you, suggest in your post that users go back to the OP and click the adf.ly link to provide revenue to the original developer. Merlinus12 will probably make more this way than everyone bypassing the map completely, seeing that it is incompatible.
Also, it must have been a pain to redo the switches on the floor minecart room. I was getting dizzy just thinking about it.
Edit: MrScaryMuffin does reply to his PMs on Youtube. Though he cannot update the OP, if you feel the need you could ask his permission there.
I PM'd MrScaryMuffin (thanks for the idea Techrocket9TempAcc), and he said he's fine with me posting my 1.6 Escapecraft 3 update! He also says there are plans to officially update EC3 once merlinus12 is ready, but there's no solid timeframe. So in the meantime...
Wowie! That's more fixes than I intended to make :tongue.gif: I think I might look over this and scrap the fixy stuff that I was working on! Then I'll forward this to the Escapecraft server folks.
Tech, regarding the EC2 fix: The version on the EC server has been tweaked for the server with special cuboids and such, so most likely your fixes won't show up on that server.
Thanks so much mate, it's great having a "community" :smile.gif: never thought that something like that would happen to me :biggrin.gif:
As for merlinus12...he's still in the middle of moving. I think he's waiting for his wife (who I believe is a teacher) to finish teaching this year before they finalize the move. Also, while he's in limbo, he's without a decent computer to do anything on :S Which means Heroblock City and the very real Escapecraft 4 is on hiatus for now. Sorry!

If only I had the time to play the 1.6 fix. I remember the good old days, when Escapecraft 3 was in development, and it was featured in that magazine! Then when I got that e-mail, why entire world went upside down. I was SO happy! And since EC3 is out now, can I discuss that email?

Well, merlinus12 is inactive right now, so I guess the decision is up to you...
It'll have the fixed texture pack and the map should work for v1.7 as well. I've been trying to get merlinus12 to update the first post but he's been super busy.

Look at my avatar. A few of you may know what this is from. Most will not. Probably because it shut down several years ago. But those were fun times while they lasted.
Hey, make sure you are putting the correct texture zip file into the folder. When you first unzip the Escapecraft 3.zip file, you'll get two more zip files. One is the texture pack, which goes (as a zip file) into your texture folder and the other goes to your save.
Let me know exactly what's going on and the steps that you took to get you there and I'll see if I can help you out.
The EscapeCraft map won't even appear in a world save. I put the .zip file into .minecraft -> saves and the world doesn't appear. Help me out with this?

The zip you downloaded contains two zips inside of it. One of them needs to be put in the saves directory and the other in the texture pack directory.
Hey guys, the first post in this thread has been updated with the new version and has been fixed up a bit as well for the new forums.
I'll be super busy with life and work until mid-September and maybe more even then. If you find that I'm not replying to your PMs, send something to MrScaryMuffin, who is currently more active than I am. Thanks for playing and thanks for the interest!

I did both, and the one that goes into your "saves" folder won't show up as a world.
