Be Excellent To Each Other

You'll get a lot more out of those maps if you download them, save them, open them in an image editor, and zoom them in a lot bigger than one-block-per-pixel.

My lovely road! I likes that.

Grim.... yes I did leave your sign off my map. There may have been an evaluation of importance in that decision.

Clearly it was a bad one.

The main issue seems to be that I forgot I wrote "You've missed" and though I put "You haven't". Which is why your "I have" reply confused me.

Hey you can see Craster's boat!

Can't see anything of mine though
Not very surprising since my big round tower got wiped from history.

Who owns the circular structures off the NNE of Khazad-Dimlet?

ENE, you mean? Dave. One castle and one big stone boob.

Kalmar, that blue splodge East of Dims is your waterfall house.

This map might help with projects like joining up the roads.

Let's try the 3d map again in the right thread:

Ah, excellent. Just needs davenet superimposing on it now.

There's two major structures on there I've never even seen before!

Davenet is visible on the other map I posted, with tunnels marked on it.

I simply couldn't understand what I was looking at on the first map.

Our map is still only 64Mb big. Just found a report on the Minecraft forums of someone who's maps regularly hit 1Gb (and kill the game).

I'd like to politely request people don't wander too far for no good reason. Once you trigger part of the map to be created, it's there forever.

It's a colour-coded depth map of all subterranean tunnels.

I think it's every excavation ever, which isn't too helpful when you're basically trying to pick out two tunnels that are only a pixel wide.

It's worms fucking.

Superb 3D map. Curio's is miles away. I think I might take the road over to the middle island for that one.

Look at Craster! Frothing at the smelt.

I love my road.

Hmm. I can do slices through the world at a certain height too. Hmm.

Stop paving over the countryside you crazed heathen!

Do that, post me the images and I'll have a go at filtering the crap out.

Edit: well, I can identify my mine works at least. Davenet is known only to Daves.

It's a loooot of clicking, and 128 pictures (I think). I'd rather give you the tool and the world map:

okeh

You've seen Khazad Dim, right?

1) install the VC++ redist pack from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en
2) extract the ZIP file from http://sites.google.com/site/zbtestbed/ ... source.zip into, say, desktop\cartograph
3) extract the .tar.gz from http://static.fscked.co.uk/beexworld.tar.gz into desktop\cartograph\beexworld
4) run cartograph.exe
5) select "custom" from the strip on the left and type "beexworld" into the text box below it

Tick "flip" as otherwise it'll be left/right reversed. Then just play with it. It outputs PNGs into desktop\cartograph. To do layers, enter a number in the "0-128" box and tick "Slice".

For example, this is layer 65 of the world, it's about level with the spawn point:

A rough map of the top layer of DaveNet...

I genuinely cannot wait to get home and see this all for myself.

Is 0 the base or cloudtop?

Bedrock, I think.

Examining that map carefully, there's all sorts of smallish structures miles and miles out.

hmm. All i'm getting is black screens.

I'm going to build on my flat land as soon as I can get near the pc. I'm going to have to stop introducing people to this game when they then start playing it instead of letting me play it!

This is how I'm set up, Dim, and this works for me:

Aha! needed to click cave mode.

Are there any pros/cons about using specific types of building material?

As in, if I built a 100-storey tall tower out of mud, would it fall over?

Don't think so, you probably don't want to use gravel or sand, though.

For the moment,no

When exploding enemies are added, yes - they make bigger holes in mud.

Sand and gravel are the only ones that gravity affects. Anything else is just aesthetics, really.

Daaaaaayve. Going by that map you done drawn I think you may be using the same area that I mined out for obsidian farming. Have you noticed a nice wide shaft?

You'd think he'd notice a nice wide shaft.

No. I haven't spotted any signs of anyone other than me down there.

Using the map, you can easily find where I'm talking about.

(Bear in mind the map isn't exactly to scale)

Mmm. It intersects my main Northbound shaft.

Mmm, #i think I may have found you by diggint through a bit of gravel

Haha! Slice 11 will show you my lower mineworks and the clearance of a lava field about 4 or 5 times the size of my castle.

Theory: in time, depletion will overtake the bezzieverse.

Every time the server crashes, huge amounts of stuff in peoples inventories vanishes. So can massive built structures! There's a huge mine under my house, the matter in it mostly disappeared, rather than moved.

Matter is being destroyed!!

There's an all-new Jump of Death attached to the Great Beardy Tower now. Dare you try it?

If we had server-side inventories, the landscape would look the same but we'd have tens of thousands of blocks of cobblestone stashed in chests instead.

Naughtily using that tool to mine diamonds is fun.

Heh, yeah. I saw on the forum details of using it to find various ores.

So you're all digging away for hours and building things for hours and sometimes stuff goes bye bye and you still bum it hard?
