I like the idea of having different music based on your environment, but I love C418's music so much, so I think he should be used as the artist for this project. After all, he did the current damn music :tongue.gif:
The reason I thought that crowdsourcing it might be a good idea is because it would be a lot for one person to do. C418 could do it all, but it would be really hard. He would certainly write the melodies though, and pick the instruments too. They could also implement a "Classic Music" function that lets you use the original music structure with the original tracks.
On a side note, I'm not sure how this new system would work with records. I suppose the music would stop and be replaced by the record's song until the record finished.
Wow, I absolutely love this idea. It would be hard as hell to code, but it would make the game so awesome. I would love that, like when you destroy a monster spawner or kill 5 mobs with low health there was a trumpet sound, and when you were walking through the forest soothing music played...the possibilities are endless! This should be stickied.
Yeah, I came up with this in one of those 1am flashes of brilliance/stupidity. The coding would be tough, but it could be easier (and harder at the same time? :S) to not have musical tracks, but dynamically playing notes. That way, there's no splicing of tracks that the machine has to do on the fly.
I recently downloaded the Matmos atmosphere mod (a wonderful mod, by the way). It started me thinking about Minecraft's built-in sounds and music. The Matmos mod scans the blocks around you, and based on what's there, it makes assumptions about your current environment and plays the appropriate sounds (i.e. tree trunk and leaves = forest = tweeting birds). This got me to thinking that Minecraft could have a constant soundtrack. One theme (or maybe a few) that goes on and on. Assuming this theme were a long but simple progression of notes and chords, Minecraft could dynamically change the instruments playing this theme based on what environment you are in, as well as changing its volume and maybe some of its notes. If there were more than one theme, players could choose which one they wanted to hear. The instruments could even be time and weather based too. For instance, while raining, the theme might be played softly on two complementary pianos, with blowing wind sounds. If the rain stopped, and it became sunny, one of the pianos could drop out and be replaced by guitar, the volume could increase, and the winds could stop. That would be dynamic, so that it would pick up at the same point in the tune, but the piano would fade into the guitar. I realize this would be a long process, and very budget-consuming, which is why I also suggest this: If, by some freak chance, this is incorporated into the game, it should be built in collaboration with the community. Find someone on the Minecraft forum that can play piano really well, get someone else who can do acoustic guitar... with Minecraft's wide user-base, it wouldn't be difficult to find people willing to do it for free.
They could also go the route of DeBlob, and have the soundtrack evolve as you place and break blocks.
TL;DR Go read it, I'm not summarizing it for you. Lazy.
you only need the patch.properties if you're using TFC's modmanager.
Anyway, it seems this mod isn't compatible with the Connected Textures Mod because it makes all my glass solid white! I know I installed it correctly because I heard the epic environment noises.
I've got working CTM with this... you must have some sort of issue. I've got the newest version of ModLoader, the newest CTM, and MAtmos. They all work fine. Make sure everything's up-to-date
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------On topic, I think this quote sums up rain in this mod quite nicely.
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout 4
Till you have drench’d our steeples, drown’d the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder, 8
Strike flat the thick rotundity o’ the world!
Crack nature’s moulds, all germens spill at once
That make ingrateful man!
This might be a stupid question, but you don't say in the forum post or in the readme file what "patch.properties" is for. Can you explain that somewhere, because I'm afraid to delete it in case it's important.
The problem is, createEntity() is valid, but entity.Fireball isn't. I'm trying to specify to the system what entity to spawn at the targeted block (the entity I want being Fireball).
Oh, and yes, I have dug through the Bukkit API for entities several times.
So I've found that my Minecraft is doing a very fun and interesting new crash: Whenever a creeper explodes, I crash. The window closes out so I don't even get an error message. I tested to make sure that's what was causing the crashes, and indeed it is. I just installed Better Glass, but I really don't think that could somehow interfere. Any ideas?
So my friend recently abused his OP powers using . It took my other friend and I a little bit of time to come up with a punishment before we re-opped him, and we came up with this...
Using WorldEdit, we made a big tree bark cylinder with a leaf sphere on top. Then we gave the player a fish and told him "You must cut down the largest tree in the forest using... A HERRING!" That hour of watching him hit a tree with a fish never stopped being fun.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find any such file in the Control Panel. I think I'm just going to set up MineOS on the thing instead; it should be a lot easier.
I may have misread your post, but I put my IP into my internet browser and the windows file browser/explorer. Internet took me to a Google search for my IP (got a bunch of "who is [my ip]" stuff) and the file browser did nothing. So, in other words, nope.
If I misread/misunderstood you, than... oops, could you clarify? :tongue.gif:
I recently pulled my old laptop out with the intention of setting up a dedicated server on it for my friends and I to play on. Is it actually possible to set up server software on Windows 2000? It does have Java 1.6 and wireless internet access. Its processor is decent enough, and it's (hopefully) got enough ram. What do you think?
