[Server] Just Test Tribute

[sorcerykid]

I'm happy to report that the spawntown canal system is finally operational! It's now possible to circumnavigate the entire inner-city via boat.



Even though it took over six months to reach this milestone (due to juggling so many other projects), I'm actually glad I didn't rush to completion. By giving the central neighborhoods time to mature, I think there are far better sightseeing opportunities to enjoy on a relaxing boat ride through town.

A great deal of credit goes to Fixer, AspireMint, and Guest3306. Last August they suggested a network of protected waterways. At first I thought the idea of such a large-scale infrastructure just for maritime travelers seemed a bit far fetched, but in retrospect I admire their vision and foresight. When it comes to long-range city planning, this project clearly tops the list!

Here is why testing his nautical skills on the South-Side Canal gates during the unofficial Grand Opening Ceremony :D

Strangely in this server many who play, and in other server where have many mods nobody virtually plays

[why]

I've tried it and it's still closed at the north-east bridge (near Ed Tower).

Canal closed

In the north-west canal, it's complicated to know where to go because of the new houses.

I think you could put green buoy at left, and red buoy at right in this section. (wool block)

Again, nice works sorcerykid.

[why]

Yeah, it's now open! I've done my first lap around the city!

[sorcerykid]

Thanks for the heads up why. The buoys should be feasible. I'll try to incorporate them in the problematic areas.

On a sidenote, here are some additional pics of the canal and docks that I forgot to post yesterday.

My question: does this trapdoor-and-ladder arrangement work and how?

[why]

You can pass through steel/wood ladder with the boat, everywhere. But the trapdoor doesn't open yet when you navigate near it. They need to be opened manually by Nemo right now.

[ABJ]

Why is this? So the canal can be closed?

[why]

Nemo just opened the canal, why would she close it?

[ABJ]

Ah ok, so they are for show?

[why]

One for the money, two for the show...

[sorcerykid]

Just a heads up, it appears that the Android app called Multicraft Free Miner is no longer compatible with JT2. Based on the reports I've received, it crashes when opening the craft guide or when picking up a minecart. I try my best to ensure JT2 is playable on all mobile devices, but it's difficult to troubleshoot without having access to an Android device.

If anyone happens to know the developer of this app, could you please notify them of these issues? Since most of our players are on smartphones and tablets, I consider this bug a high priority concern.

[ABJ]

Last time I checked, Multicraft was illegal.

[iisu]

"Police! We have proofs that you have been using Multicraft. Open up!"

[why]

That's seems like this line:
https://github.com/MoNTE48/MultiCraft/b ... .cpp#L3026
that count the number of unhandled touch events

It looks more like a unhandled case and a log report, than a real crash error.

[sorcerykid]

Last time I checked, Multicraft was illegal.

That could be true, altho it was my understanding that Multicraft was a legitimate fork and adhered to the license.

Of course that thread is a few months old, so mebbe the project has changed direction since then.

[sorcerykid]

What is the difference between Multicraft, Multicraft Free Miner, and Multicraft Pocket Edition?

[iisu]

Please mute user lags. He spams so much the game… well, lags.

Here's my puppy drawing for Easter.



Thanks for the bunnies and chocolate Nemo.

[iisu]

Ugh, that ugly puppy of VE's.

Nice pixelart skills though.

[sorcerykid]

Easter is here (hare?), and the bunnies are breeding like crazy on JT2. Wow, these three mobs are hopping with excitement. Of course, I won't give away their secret nesting grounds. It's up to you to find where these furry little critters are hiding out!



Catch the Easter Bunny for a yummy chocolate treat, hunt down the gray hare for some high protein meat, and get a jump on the Rabid Rabbit for a reward that can't be beat!

Chocolate eggs. These are sure to give you a sugar rush. You'll dash for some time, then crash like crazy.

Raw Meat. This is Grade A bunny flesh. Just cook and serve. Keep below freezing to maintain freshness.

Golden Egg. There's a hefty bounty on this fluffy tail, and the reward you'll receive is well worth the effort!



Credit goes to iisu and TenPlus1 for the eggs and the bunnies. I've customized both mods for optimum gameplay on JT2.

Happy lepus hunting everyone!

Important Announcement

Tonight at 3:00am Central Time, JT2 will be shutdown for 24 hours in commemoration of the original "just test" server that went offline on April 16, 2016.

But don't fret! It sounds like lag has some plans in the works to memorialize the anniversary ;)



viewtopic.php?p=264116#p264116

Could he be hinting at an official resurrection of "just test" for the occasion? Only one way to find out!

[ExeterDad]

It's a good night... I've hoped to see my bunnies hopping around JT2 forever. Now they are :)
PS I have several other bunny textures TenPlus1 omitted if you want them.

[sorcerykid]

Wow, it's wonderful to see "just test" back in the server listing. Luckily, I joined as soon as it went live. It felt very surreal being the only player in the entire world :D



While you are waiting for JT2 to be brought back up, why not have a sneak peak at the Cursed World video series that maike put together? He shares some very important survival tips and gameplay advice. Then venture on over to the newly re-imagined "just test" server!

A lot of our regular peeps from JT2 have already settled in: Zorg, AspireMint, rnd, Arisha_L, igoreg2005, BlueFireUn, nell, poloPRO6947, CHDK42, putney34, DragonsVolcanoDance, micah, SerVesta, why, SuckerForPain, Baggins, jtee, kumma_, and of course maikerumine! Undoubtedly there are many more that I've missed. I finally slipped into a coma after playing nonstop since 3am with no sleep xD

[maikerumine]

Awe shucks.. thanks for the plug SK! Man... this is surreal!
