    posted a message on Does updating from snapshot change how the world generates?

    (Probably in the wrong board judging from other content, please move if that's the case.)


    I've been playing 15w35e for a while because my world was created in that and I'm afraid to update. My experience with updating the game has previously been that entering new territory generates land under a different algorithm, resulting frequently in giant walls and disagreements as to where water is, and general ugliness.


    However I figure that 15w35e appears to use the same generation algorithm that 1.9 does, but I'm afraid to try it. Is it safe to update to the release version and expect my world to generate smoothly?

    Personally: this question is proof of your noobiness. Finally someone who's not infinitely better at this game than me. :D

    Anyway: As long as you buy another premium account, the new launcher handles that fine. If you want his account running a different launcher than yours, you can easily create another account on your computer for him. (Assuming of course, if you're using Windows, that %appdata% isn't system-wide. I'm experienced with Linux/Mac, where MC's files are in the user directory, so I'd assume it's a similar situation in Windows.)

    I figured I wanted to go back to playing on some server. I attempted to log on, since I had it saved in the Multiplayer menu, but I noticed that it took a while to poll and said "Can't reach server." Trying to log in anyway either let the connection time out or told me "No route to host." I figured this was a server-end problem so I went to play on my friend's server, only to find it did the same. I tried a bunch more servers and discovered the exact same thing happened.

    Here's the error I get, from the console, in the latter case:

    Client> java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host
    Client>     at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)

    Any ideas?

    This one's still being built, but you can go build in the wild if you want. It'd be great though if you could help us build stuff.

    SERVER IP: 216.137.192.89:25577

    As a few (very few) of you know, AlasKraft was started back in the fall and was shut down shortly afterward. It amassed a whopping six players (of whom no more than three were on at one time), all of whom were helping build.

    We still need massive amounts of help, though, in the fields of building and technical stuff. I've since figured out how the port forwarding works (Linux file /etc/ppp/firewall-masq) so I can do it myself, but I haven't succeeded in getting through to the internet. (The only problem here is getting 8123 working for a public rather than private Dynmap, and maybe an RCON in the future.)

    The original map is still on my hard drive but has been abandoned for online purposes. So for the building field, we need a spawn laid out (building built but only a few signs) and two capital cities built to specifications which I can go over with builders on the server. One will be enclosed and therefore rainproof, and the other will be largely underground and therefore snow-resistant (Ice Mountains biome).

    YAML experts would be greatly appreciated so I can have more than two permission levels on the server, and so I can get Herochat working properly.

    And that should be good. I will be online a lot of the time since it's summer for me :D See ya there!

    posted a message on Desperately seeking free/very cheap laptop
    I'm 13, which where I live (I hate it here too, by the way) is just young enough to be prohibited from holding a job. I had a laptop to keep me occupied until about six months ago when it started slowing down dramatically. Somehow I put up with it for this long, but today something finally snapped in the inner workings and it died. I tried replacing some components, but that resulted in just breaking the computer for good.

    I would attempt to buy a new computer if a) they weren't all 400 USD, and b­) people would actually ship to my location, which as far as they're concerned isn't part of America despite its status as a state. So I've gone without a computer for about a day and I'm already going completely ballistic. I'm reduced to begging the internet for somebody's old computer. If you have a decent laptop you don't need, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.

    Look, it's bloody obvious that it's MLP. The thing that really gives it away is the '65 episodes'.


    Yeh, but did I ever say 65 episodes was the entire runtime? No. The Pokémon anime, for example, has over 6-700 episodes. I could have watched 65 episodes of that.

    To answer a question I'd need to know the subject.

    Is this "fandom" My Little Pony? If so, no one here likely cares whatsoever. If it's something else, just state it.

    I'm just going to assume it's MLP.


    Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. You don't know (and I'll never tell) that it's not an anime or a tech convention.

    Quote from Shpaget

    So, you're what? 13?


    ...and about a quarter.


    Quote from Acetyl

    Megathreads are what a megathread is.
    Cluttered, garbled, and stifled.

    That was my logic at Pokécommunity. They didn't listen.

    Quote from Acetyl

    I'm not certain why your immediate family threatened to disown you when you needlessly tried to flaunt your newfound personal sense of liberation, in a fringe/oppressed fandom that just wants peace love and understanding, (man) (attention). Unless they're heavily vested in social media trends, or strictly conservative and have confused what they see as your feminine actions as homosexual/weak, when it doesn't fall in line with idealized societal perceptions of masculinity and male normality. Which is closeminded to begin with.

    Closer to the latter example. My family's reeaal conservative, but I figured I'd go ahead and join since the fact that I watch a cartoon makes me no more gay than watching Doctor Who does.

    Quote from Acetyl

    This second portion irritates me. I see it as the ultimate shortcoming of the entire "fanbase".

    That was just me. I figured that'd be better than sitting down with them like I was about to declare my belief in communism (which
    I do not have, by the way; screw communism).

    Quote from MisterTurtle

    You really didn't have any Brony friends that could have taken you?

    I have no friends at all.

    DISCLAIMER 1: This is almost a copy-paste from the original post on Pokécommunity, but some parts are edited out so as not to disclose what the convention is. I ditched Pokécommunity because the first thread was locked for not being in the megathread, and I'm avoiding mention here of what the convention is about because of a thread started by Pastmaster ( D: ) that appears to be a megathread of it. I'm looking for loopholes here; loopholes are cool.

    DISCLAIMER 2: Expletives. They're bleeped at least, but they're there. Watch for them.

    Before I joined an unnamed fandom, I did receive threats of disownment and the like should I ever. I did it anyway, and after two months and 65 episodes of the fandom's show, I rammed it down my parents' throats to try and get them over their stereotype (i.e. the generic "that fandom's bad, m'kay?"). Things have been tense between me and my parents since, particularly with my mother, and something tells me I haven't been kicked out of the house only because my parents are legally bound not to.

    It doesn't help that I want to go to one of the conventions. I've crunched the numbers, thought about survival, and realized I could go just fine on my own dime, if I could actually get to the Anchorage airport 70 miles away without parental permission. I wouldn't actually need to leave the airport in Seattle to go across the street to the hotel (which wouldn't take me), seeing as a) the convention is within the airport terminal, and B) I've stayed at that airport for multiple overnight layovers and learned that nobody gives two [expletive] if you're lying at the gate with a blanket and a pillow.

    I asked about that, and I was told no, I cannot go anywhere independently except on a Sunday school field trip about the same distance away in the other direction for a longer period of time and with no contact with my family (I cannot bring any technology on that field trip more advanced than a digital watch) and more importantly law enforcement. It is, by the way, to a village where presumably no AST officers are stationed, just powerless VPSOs. Frankly, it's much more logical to go do something entertaining with a phone and probably internet than to do something boring in a village with no contact with anybody. Furthermore, while I quite liked having spent the night in the Seattle airport, I know my father has never done so and my mother hated it. How the [expletive] do I convince them that this is a good idea?

    "EDIT": I was gonna add this to begin with. My logic for going now instead of waiting five years is that five years from now, the fandom will likely have died off. I learned my lesson from Minecon in this respect, and I don't want to do that again. Please DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, tell me to wait.

    Thanks for answers.
