Minecraft Chat Thread V60: It's like FortressCraft for PCs!

[woidoi]

[QUOTE=Hypershadsy;28461276]Water really sucks. I liked the way it was in late indev better. But I think he should just use Dwarf Fortress's water model, with some modifications:

There are 7 layers of water in a block, 1 being the lowest, 0 being air. 7 is used because it fits the 1-byte flag space allocated by the NBT format.

The only infinite sources are blocks of water that are at the edge of the generated world. Generating all chunks surrounding a body of water will cause it to be finite.

Water will dissipate to it's container. If the area is not divisible by 7, the water will fill unequally, with the remainder flowing around on the top, in wave-like patterns. After an amount of time, the remainder layers will slow their oscillation and eventually disappear, like the water had "settled". The smaller the lake, the longer it will take for it to wave down. Ripple effects can be used, causing reverberations in the water level in surrounding blocks.

Rain will fill up lakes VERY SLOWLY, causing floods of varying degrees, depending on the severity of the rain. Rain is not as severe in dry biomes.

A large body of water going toward a small building will be washed away in some form, depending on material, amount of water, and maybe even structurally soundness.

Oceans and other large bodies will generate waves in a specific pattern, depending on the number of active objects displacing the body and the containing biome (colder = less wavy?). The more wavy the body is, the more likely it will freeze up in the snow.

Using a bucket will get you 4/7th of a water block. Dumping water on a block that is 4/7ths will round down from 8/7 to 7/7.

You must work fast to fill your pits with water. Water can be evaporated or soak into the ground.

Evaporation will subtract the layers of water, if the water is lit past a certain light level. The hotter the sun, the faster the water will evaporate. This allows for desert biomes to be truly deserts, as any water you might bring into them will be eliminated faster than that of a rainforest. To prevent entire lakes to be dried out if left alone for a long time, evaporation will only take place if the water surrounding is less than a large amount.

Some permeable materials can allow water to pass through, leaking moisture underneath them (infrequent water droplets coming from the ceiling and landing with a "plip" is a good detail). Impermeable materials do not let water pass through. Some materials could be partially-permeable. These would let water through, but very slowly. Therefore, underground lakes with stone will hold better than underground lakes of dirt or gravel.

Lava could behave the same way, but without evaporation (it causes it) and soaking. It will also update it's flow much less often than water.[/QUOTE]

I'm wanting that for ages. The water we have now is far from dynamic, it resembles more like a jelly or some heavy fluid.

So do I :v:

[woidoi]

Rivers could also form naturally with Real dynamic water. Water would gather in a valley between mountains, and then slowly carve out a small stream to the ocean.

I can imagine building a dam, and then blowing it up once the area behind it is full. Imagine the awesomeness (and chaos on SMP, like a city build near a dam)

I just noticed the makers of that liquid want to implent it in MC. I hope Jeb is allowed to give it a try.

Just finished my First Commercial Bank project. Here's the completed building:

Pointless edit: I think the best way to build a house in minecraft is to break the monotony of square blocks.

I moved my consoles to it from a bigger TV. This one seems bigger. Yes I own both consoles for exclusives but PC for everything else.

Really optimistic here but I messaged Notch with the video if there's any chance of it being implemented.

There's a chance. Since Jeb got in the team, they listen much more to the community. So lets hope...

[editline]6th March 2011[/editline]

If java could handle it.

If it was designed for Minecraft, then its probably already in Java

He made it in hopes that notch would implement the algorithm into minecraft's water.

Hey, can we get a place on the OP?

If so, heres our banner. "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15805820/minecraft/banner1.png"

Thanks!

Hahaha, lilcheeselad just stole someones coal right in front of me. That was funny.

The OP is on vacation with his family right now, he won't be on to help you for a while.

The Great Ghast, why did you ban me from your server? The guy should've locked his chests if he didn't want anyone looking through it, and his place was already griefed beyond repair anyways. I was just looking, no need to throw a fit.

I saw you steal, and his stuff wasn't locked cause he hasn't been on since I put chest protection on. I saw you steal dude.

I was looking through his chest, I didn't steal anything from it. Check my inv and youll see that only my stuff is in there.

If anyone would like to test out the bropocalypse server You can, just give me your username so I can add you to the whitelist.
