The Unofficial Brass Goggles Minecraft Server!

Just letting all y'all know, the stargate "demon" is inside my current cave/house. Feel free to look around but please no stealing. :3

Care to explain that one?

maybe because his username on minecraft is demon?

Anywhom...Area 69 has a Stargate now, so YAY!!! Each day brings me another step towards finishing that place. I have 13 pieces of obsidian going spare...first come first serve.

On a rather sad note: Tried to set up a seperate network for another stargate (Area 69 to my Rapture-esque towah) but it wasn't having none of it

[Augustus Longeye]

Well I might suggest rather than use a separate network for just a pair of gates, it might be easier to create both gates and lock them onto each other. The site explains what commands you use, and there is a more detailed post, but I don't know if you're able to create networks or not (I'll check now, if not I'll add the permission). That said, for just two gates going A->B or B->A it's not worth it creating a second network really

I'll not be on for a week or so
Excuse the gaping scar on the mountain where tge designer houses are
Has anyone claimed one yet?

[Augustus Longeye]

I have I think number three? The stone one. I love the views from it

[The Corsair]

The fancy window one? Those windows were terribly difficult to get right so I'm glad you like it

im curious what Texture Packs people are using on the BG Minecraft Server.
im using Glimmars Steampunk Texture Pack, and all my building is reflected as such.
im just curious because everything we do is going to look different, does the airship tower look like its made from iron girders for everyone?

[Augustus Longeye]

Oui, I mostly use Glimmar's steam pack, though occasionally I trial others (obviously, thought I'm assembling my own slowly) and sometimes switch to the Metallic pack Glimmar has. I have also designed my stuff with it in mind, such as the steel and glass 'pagoda' type thing going to the D'Ni Caverns... it would look strange just having white-ish blocks.
What about everyone else?

I apologise for being unclear. My username on Minecraft is Demon256. And the stargate is in that cavehouse thinger of mine cause I wanted to get to the spawn area and NOT get raped by a bunch of creepers that lurked around outside my door. xD

Admins, feel free to tear it down if it's in the way.

EDIT:

Regarding the texture pack... I use Visibility cause it makes playing the game much easier for me, with my eyesight being a mess and all that. (Left eye: -6.5, Right eye: -7.25)

[Screaming Lord Pea Green]

With regards to texture packs, I aint got any....that would require knowing how to have one, and as we all know, knowing may well be half the battle, but Booze eradicates knowledge

[Augustus Longeye]

If you want, Lord Pea, I'll give you a hand setting one up. PM me though, this isn't really the place for that
Same goes for anyone else!
~Longeye~

[Manix]

Im just on 'Vanilla' as I have heard it referred to as and build as such. Stuff doesnt look as fancy which is probably why my stuff end up being big (hiding the lack of detail behind magnificence).


On another point Airship shed 01 is finished (located at flat lands - turn right out of the stargate and let it load, you cant miss it) and work is underway for the first of my airships. Feel free to have a mooch around, inside is well lit and fairly safe just make sure not to let any creepers in and try not to fall off the rafters.

[steampowered]

I will say, the building I've seen is amazing. Bravo all. I love the idea of rapture and I know it will look awesome when it's done.

I've tried to stay off the beaten path, so I can stay out of people's way, but if you run out to the resort you should see the airship parked in the water & skull mountain. All of the things I've built should be flammable, so if I've built anything in someone's way, feel free to remove it.

[Augustus Longeye]

Well guys, it's coming along amazingly Seriously, this has well exceeded any expectation I had about the server! We've got a city, a HUGE mine, docks, harbours, castles, airships, submarines, resorts, designer houses, treehouses the side of forests (both of them!), caverns that go on for miles, actual watery ships... and now this damned Rapture! Seriously, you lot know how to build big impressive structures
Thanks for keeping this going, and thanks for all your support with the server (and patience when it f***s up... repeatedly)!
I am going to mention that I have given myself (unwisely) a gigantic project to code in java, and it's taking me a lot longer than I had planned (and I planned LONG). For that reason I won't be active as much (I'll pop on when I can) but if you do have problems please do poke me with something. Most evenings (evening gmt) I'll have the server observation website open (so I know if things go wrong immediately) so you can usually give me a poke through that as well.
Again, well done on the buildings everyone and keep it up

I just thought I'd leave this here:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rapture from the top of my building. It looks like Manix's, Dansko's and Dr. Makebot's buildings are there, as well as the air bell, and the partially-completed park in the back.

[The Corsair]

I've decided to take a break from the designer stuff and instead make designer stuff in rapture. I'm going to be building an art gallery. The groundwork for it is just by the lava-reactor-thing.

[Manix]

Hey guys Ive made a little interactive challenge in the garden of the new Mansion feel free to have a go and post your score on the wall.

The idea is to wait untill nightfall and use the weapons and fire pads (youll understand when you get there) to kill as many mobs as possible points are awarded according to the rules on the wall at the back of the mansion.

The mansion is located in 'flatland' opposite the airship shed, go in the front door turn left, through the sitting room, through the smoking room and into the garden.

[Augustus Longeye]

With the addition of power plant, control room and communications room I've decided to personally work on building a library which will go somewhere and there are also plans to add a water plant. How much more do people want to build? Do we need to expand the hole a bit?
~Longeye~

EDIT
I have a vehicle mod installed (well should have when you read this,  I'm about to install it now) which is very complicated but very awesome. The upshot is you can build things and pilot them. I cannot explain it all, so here's the site!

[Screaming Lord Pea Green]

Looks AMAZING! just seems to be a few lag issues with it looking at the forums...

I'm planning on adding another dome the other side of the ship where Dr_Makebot has cleared an area, it will probably be a similar size to the last one (40 blocks in diameter)

[Dr. makebot]

Ok, I am going to make to hole bigger that it is at the moment because it needs to hold McManixes ship, so there will be tons of building space available.
secondly, walternator, do you mind if I use you second dome, when it is finished, to house a market?
because I plan to expand out from there to produce a farming district.

[The Corsair]

Ok guys can people please not build things (like skulls and airships) out in the bay that the resort looks out on because it completely destroys the purpose of something I spent a week building. I have taken down the 2 things out over the bay and will not hesitate to remove any other objects built there.

Everything there is awesome (I have no idea if it's compatible though)

[Screaming Lord Pea Green]

It seems a "Creeper temple" has popped up on our map, overnight I may add, much to my surprise. Upon further inspection, I was set upon by not one, not two, but 5 Creeper guards (fret not, I escaped unharmed). This led me to the conclusion that Creepers spawn nearby anything which marks a striking resemblence to themselves...McManix should beware if this is the case, his visage is constantly that of a Creepers...
