I'm going to create a huge city in single player. (Sorry, but I really don't want griefers) The version I'll be using for now at least will be 0.4.dev-20111204-1. I'm using 0.4 so I can add mods so I can have some more realistic buildings.

The mods I have so far are:
More blocks (Version 2_02) by Calinou
DARKET Mods by darket

No screenshots yet, I still have to install 0.4.

The project is temporarily on hold until the next dev release.

I just want to note that 0.4 can still have changes that will break everything. That is what the -dev means. I wouldn't start such a project using it. And no, backups are not a solution in every case.

I know, so I'm going to stick with one version unless it's absolutely necessary for me to get a newer version.

But even the current version can write corrupt worlds when judged by a later version or the 0.4 release version. That is the problem that I am concerned of.

Basically I could always write everything to be compatible, but it always has a small performance and complexity penalty. Even the current 0.4 has code that makes it a tad slower but allows loading old 0.3 and old 0.4 worlds. Yes, even old 0.4s need some compatibility code. 8)

I'll have to add my 2c.. I have a very extensive world I used with the 3 versions and using them with the 4 devs doesn't work right. celeron55 is correct to worry. You can build all you want in the dev versions but don't build if you worry about losing them lol.

0.4 is supposed to be able to load 0.3 worlds correctly. Can you describe better?

To keep this thread from going too far off topic I will send email with info.

Now that the next dev version is released, I can finally start working on it.

Here's what it is so far:

Sorry it's dark, I didn't want to wait until day and I haven't found any coal after 1.5 game days.

If you are playing on your own server, try the time command.

bwog · by **bwog** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 20:58 Post

I'm doing it locally so it is my server.

I'm also turning mobs off because I'm afraid dungeon masters will destroy parts of the city.

Here's an aerial view with text. I would have made the text look more like a road map but Paint can't turn text.

Have to comment.. for image editing that's free I'd highly suggest getting to know Gimp. It can be a pain to learn but once you get to know it it can be very useful.

converter should do the job! just write one.

I think I'm going to start over. I want the city to be more modern, but the streets are just cobblestone, they would need to be widened, so I'd have to destroy the buildings and make them again anyway, so I'll just make a new world. I'd do it as a creative mode city since what I want to do would take ages to do by getting everything myself, but then I can't craft the mod objects because crafting doesn't work, so I won't do creative but I will give myself items.

This will be delayed until a stable 0.4 release is made. And I guess an image I posted above, which is on Tinypic, was replaced with someone else's image...

Unless someone can host a server just for this, it's going to be single player only. Although I'll probably release the map.

They did that to parts of my server too.

When would it be on then in your time zone?

Jordach · by **Jordach** » Mon Feb 13, 2012 14:48 Post

Between 7AM (OR 9AM -11AM GMT I might not of woken up yet.) - 10PM GMT.

Will this do? But not until Wednesday, currently I am at my girlfriends until then.
