So 1.7.3 server until 1.9, or is it still undecided?
As of now, we're still undecided. It's been a week, but 1.8.1 still has some issues that I'm concerned about. The XP Orb lag issue (
which EP claims is now fixed?) is a major concern, since we do have a bunch of lemmings running about. :V I'm also hesitant about the biomes being incomplete. If we make a new map for 1.8, and
then have to make a new map for 1.9, then Doc is seriously going to have to choke a bitch. Blame Notch & Friends for wanting to make so many drastic changes to the game. (which are completely awesome, but TWO major updates is a bit of a pain.) We'll let everyone know when we're ready to update. Believe me, I'm just as anxious as all of you.
On another note i would make sprites also but just thinking about the amount of wool and dye needed is a turn off for me:/
* Dr.Strafe politely guides Dr.Rawr over to the Evil Eye Sigma, as well as his other creations in SMP.
These are all legitimate, my boy. The Sigma took 30-35 stacks of wool, and a
ton of revisions to get it to look right. It was also built before the Wool Center was even
conceived, so every single sheep had to be hunted down individually. If it wasn't for the SheepFeed mod, things would have been even more difficult.
I built the Wool Center specifically to remove the tedium of hunting the sheep down yourself. I hated spending 20 minutes searching, only to find one or two. My original Blue UFO (DDR's server) took
FOREVER to find all of the necessary sheep. By using the Wool Center, all you need to focus on is the dye and the shears.
As far as making more sprites are concerned, I say go for it. I just might make one myself. We don't want Ikubi Akius to get lonely up there.
