Migration!

Yes, we’re ditching the old hosted machine. Not to worry, hopefully you already haven’t noticed the change. It’s been a wonky transition for me, but hopefully everyone else will go better.

As a side note, if someone can’t get in to mumble or the imageboard, let them know things have changed around.

The imageboard is now at /tomatoboard. What does that mean?

I hate to see that beautiful 100mbit connection go, but it’s time for a change.

Terraria Map

New Terraria map has been launched.

Old map has been moved to Server1 (7778), I’ll only put it up if you need stuff from it.

Password and ports are still the same for the new map.

Planned Downtime

There is a short window of planned downtime for December 6th, from 12:00PM CST to 1:00PM CST.

All services on tomatoco.net will be unavailable.

The community server will be available.

tomatoco.net may be available before then.

Yeah, you’re going to be inconvenienced. You’ll live. I promise.

Minecraft 1.8 + Server Status

With 1.8 out, I think I should go over what’s going to be happening with the servers.

The main minecraft server will be vanilla, completely. Whatever it generates, is whatever you get. If it gets wrecked up too much, I’ll put it available for download and generate a new one. Might do that monthly, I’ll put up a poll to see what people think.

Eventually, I may put up a modded server with all sorts of neat things that you can vote on. Maybe a mod-a-week thing until we reach some arbitrary limit of mods that we’ll have on the server, and then go about swapping them around.

The community-only server will stay that way. If you ask for it in Mumble and we think you’re cool, then you’ll get the address. It’s white-listed, so don’t get any funny ideas about posting the address.

Minecraft maps will be going back to the old style. The dynmap was nice,  but it’s way too flaky (and requires Bukkit.) They’ll be under the old link as usual, just as they were before. I may have it set up differently, though. Probably a gallery tracking progress. (It WILL be trimmed weekly, if that’s the case.)

Nothing exciting with Garry’s Mod, aside from TomatoSoup’s new gamemode. Hopefully it’s coming along well. The main Gmod server will be cleaned up and redone eventually, though probably not for a solid month or more. Don’t worry, we’ll keep your duplicates.

I’m working on getting an IRC network set up. I’m sure a lot of people won’t use it, but in a pinch, it’s a lot easier for us to get at from our phones and such. Plus, you can IRC on just about anything. Including a toaster. Don’t ask how I know that.

More will be posted later. As an apology for not updating in so long, please take this.

Minecraft 3D Render

This is a plain render of part of one of my single player worlds. I got the minecraft to 3dsmax converter to work you just have to add your own textures which they provide a template for. I could do this but with good lighting and textures to our minecraft world. What do you people think? If Tom or Keo could be kind enough to pull the file, I will ask them next time I get the chance I would not mind taking the time to apply the textures to something like Tomatoville. Basicly it’s how people get things like this.

An additional Minecraft modding Ramble.

I seem to have forgotten some things in the last one (as in, I was writing this one and surprised to see I didn’t already mention it). Mainly the poisons, but I think I explained it well in this. As always, leave comments and suggestions.

In general, this has to do with some wider gameplay mechanics regarding health regen, hunger, encumbrance, and poison.

Video Series?

Hello everyone,first note I am now the community manager so if you have any problems with another player or some one is doing something on a server they should not be, contact me. Here is my email todddinius@gmail.com .

Watch a bit of the spoiler warning people, basically they are a combination of mystery science theater and a lets play. I think we could do something like this. It would not have to be a full game or it could just be us doing some weird science like in the creeper video but we could get a few people in mumble and have commentary. What does everyone think?

Brief ramble regarding Minecraft modding.

What with the announcement of the Modding API being released, I figured I’d voice some ideas I have for Minecraft. In theory, this is all doable as we’ll be given access to the Minecraft sourcecode and then we compile our changes in to modules that are signed and loaded. About half of this I’m confident I can do, the other half will require substantial testing, shenanigans, and general dicking around.

As usual, feel free to leave comments and suggestions. (I’m also testing the “More” break, so hit the title to see the rest.)

Status Update

Server is listed on mcservers.net, have a new video on the way, and… Yeah.

Regular maps still don’t work, and I don’t have the time to fix them right now. I’ll get on it after finals.

Otherwise, everything is pretty okay right now.

Minecraft Beta 1.5 and Whitelist

The server is back to the normal old Minecraft, no more groups or that bullshit until CraftBukkit is updated.

The whitelist is also back on, because of this. If you were in the MingeBag group, sorry. You can’t get on right now. If you’re one of the regulars, talk to me and I’ll get you on the list.

Also, the old maps are broken. Use the Beta link until I fix them. Don’t ask me how to work a command, or even mention it when I’m in the server. I wrote that damn page (that is in the bar to your RIGHT) for a reason.
