I actually "beat" terraria 1.2.x. in about 3 days.
It added some stuff but mha, still waiting for some of the "end game bosses" to be added.

I have most of the high end items in the game across my two characters. I'm up for messing around/building/PVP/whatever you guys want to do.

 

Are we allowed to import resources for building from other worlds? I would very much like to build a "dungeon-house" and yet I don't think people would appreciate me ripping apart the world's dungeon for bricks and walls.

I was testing around with ShadowTiger today to see if multiplayer is working for me.  Even with enabling port forwarding, I have had no success.  But I did have eventual success with Hamachi again, so if I host, we will be using that again.  More information when we decide to start up a new map, but for those who have used it in the past, it's the exact same server as before, with no changes to it other than listed IP (which is expected).

 

I would be open to bringing in stuff from other worlds for the purpose of building, but not for combat.  That is, at least until players have had a chance to develop and people want to eventually join at a later date.

[ShadowTiger]

That really should include hammers. Hammers are too slow for combat, sort of, and having to rip apart a back wall with a low-grade hammer is like pulling nails. I want to bring the Spectre Hammer and Spectre Painting stuff with me. +3 range is a godsend.


Oh, and let's say that whenever the world runs out of something, like rainclouds or dungeon bricks, (heaven forbid. O.o) we can bring them from another world. Multicolored dungeon brick houses are teh shyznit.

1.2 completion count: 2.

Bring it on, server!

[Nathaniel]

Yep, pickaxes, axes, and hammers.  I'll leave that part to you ShadowTiger.  I'll make myself available later this afternoon (2PM EST), being on steam, hamachi, and IRC, so I'll leave the live lines of communication open for those who are interested.  That's not to say that we will be ready by 2 EST, just that I will be available to communicate about it with people.  People can feel free to make a new character in advance, as I will probably create the world in advance too.

 

We will be using Hamachi.  I have never had success with port forwarding from my machine, even with version 1.2, and everything checks out regarding what my firewall allows.

 

So if you don't have LogMeIn Hamachi, you can download it here.  It's a quick download, and many people here already have it.  I already have a server set up and once you access it, you will have my IP information.

 

So once you have a login and have downloaded the program, you can go to the network menu, and select "join an existing network".  Network ID is Nathaniel PureZC.  There is a password for that too.  You can ask me for that either through IRC query or through steam, just to assure that those joining are part of this community.  For those who have accessed it in the past, the password has not changed.

 

Because I am using a Hamachi password, the multiplayer game itself will be unpassworded.  You will know the correct IP once you are logged into the Hamachi network.

 

I will be using terraria's server software, so people can come and go as they please, and if I make any departures myself, it won't end the game.

We had a blast of a time yesterday.  There were only three of us, so I hope we can see some others willing to join sometime.  Monday was short notice, so I understand, and holidays are unique circumstances.  I'm hoping Saturday afternoon and/or evening will be a good time to play another round.  I could probably leave the server running for most of that day (as long as I am in the house somewhere), although I wouldn't necessarily be playing the entire time.  Just means my computer is at least on and I am not far away.  We really created something beautiful, and no doubt there will be more to develop.  Most of it was not my doing at all, as I mostly gather materials and improve my own character, but ShadowTiger can do some amazing stuff in that game.  I hope others at least get to see what has been done.  We also got a huge background wall of ice to complete, among many things we have yet to think of doing.  Anyway, it's a large map with not much of it explored yet, but it is regular corruption and not crimson (I hope that doesn't drive people away), but despite that, the map has its share of oddities on how it was generated.

[ShadowTiger]

I didn't do anything special. (Thanks for the mention though.) I did bring along the Spectre Hamaxe and Spectre Pickaxe, because if I had to spend half my time just digging, I'd probably go nuts and quit. Instead, I think it would be a better use of my time to actually build up our village and give every NPC a nice spacious and well decorated home, and protected from blood moons and Solar Eclipses. There are plenty of hovering and flying enemies, some of which can pass through walls, so traps are important where necessary. I'm going to have to set those up when we rescue the Mechanic.

I haven't done nearly as much exploring as you or Bacon. I just need more ice for those walls. Got a lot of houses to build.

Hopefully my sister can join us too! She's a delight to have on. Thanks for letting us use your computer, Nate! Really nice of you.

[Nathaniel]

Your sister is welcome if she can join.  Others are welcome too.  Definitely still planning for Saturdays, but I can possibly add at least another day of the week for those who can't make Saturdays (Monday is a good second choice for me, but I can understand that not being good for a lot of people, but you never know).  Tuesdays and Thursdays are my worst days up through November 7th, but become much better options after that date.  So yeah, I don't mind spanning this out over a long period of time, so that should ease peoples considerations who can't join too often.  So yeah, it's older busier people friendly too (like me).

[Mr. Z]

Whatever you do, don't play in the evenings, because I want to be awake too when Terraria is being played!

[ShadowTiger]

Heck yeah. Yeah, we're usually done by 5:00 PM EST.


EDIT: While we're all here, post your towns!

All of mine are up on my Steam page. It's the most recent 7 images. I rarely add new images. If you can't see them for some reason, I can upload them elsewhere.

[Nathaniel]

Just a reminder that we are still on for tomorrow.  Gonna have the server ready by 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.  That's evening (8:00 PM Central Europe, right?) for Mr. Z and anybody else across the Atlantic who is interested.  That's 11:00 AM on the Pacific.  If we have any Australians interested, well... we can figure that one out if we ever cross that road.  The server can run without me always being in it, so if I leave the game, that doesn't mean others have to leave.  I will need to eat at some point if it runs long enough, and I might need to do other stuff here and there.  If you wish to join later, you can certainly try to join.  Any questions?

[Koh]

I probably own't be joining for a long while...I'd love to play with you guys and all, but my friends and I are just before the Wall of Flesh on my server, and will be entering Hard Mode for the first time together XD.  I didn't get as far as everyone else did during solo time...

[MoscowModder]

What's the IP address of your server? I just got it on the %75 off sale and I'm almost ready for multiplayer.

 

(My Steam name is same as my PZC name; feel free to add me)

[Nathaniel]

You'll need to download Hamachi if you haven't yet.  I think I mentioned it in a post on the previous page.  The IP itself is listed as 25.12.169.191.  The Network ID on Hamachi is "Nathaniel PureZC" without the quotes.  The Hamachi password I can send to you by private means.  Because of that, there is no password for the game itself.  The next time we play will probably not be until next Saturday, as I have a very busy week ahead of me, as I am giving a lot of tests and I have midterm grades to determine that week as well.  So I expect to be quite busy, unless a pleasant surprise rolls around.

 

I don't plan on getting the game in hardmode anytime soon, despite the fact that I am wielding a nights edge, wearing molten armor, and similar best/near best non-hardmode gear.  I don't want to discourage new people from joining because a world is in ruthless hardmode.

 

I also want to address a few things.  Please don't bring in a fully decked out character with hardmode weapons, armors, and most tools (with the exception of maybe pickaxes, axes, and hammers for the purpose of building and digging only, so no smashing demon altars, for example!)  I had a few problems yesterday with the Destroyer being summoned and destroyed, introducing the Red Devil and other hardmode enemies into the underworld, all of this done without any permission from yours truly, the one running the game (and I would have still said no if asked).  I won't name a name here, but this applies to anybody else who might consider it, thus why I brought it to attention here.  It made me have to download tedit later that evening for the first time so that I could undo the destroyer being defeated from the world's data.  So the underworld is now back to how it should be.

 

But that brings up the point:  Do not summon hardmode bosses, and do not perform any actions meant for hardmode.  Also, do not summon any type of boss anywhere near the NPCs.  If it happens in the future, I will remove people who do so from the game.  I'm not trying to be uptight or anything, but one person's enjoyment should not be at the expense of the rest of the people playing.  Please be considerate of others.  If you wish to play a hardmode multiplayer game now or soon, you have the option of starting your own map for that purpose and thus hosting your own game.  This map is meant to be for PureZC members in general who wish to join us.  If the game ever gets into hardmode, which will not be anytime soon, I will let you all know.  The rules I put forth here will only change by that point.

 

But despite what I had to establish above, I hope we all have a good time next time, like we did for the most part yesterday.
