Raiyou's Minecraft Madness

This has been on my to-do list for a while. IP addresses as URLs are crappy. Especially when you haven’t paid for a static IP... SO! This has been fixed. Our new (and easily remembered) DNS name is: http://adareland.duckdns.org This should work also as a URL to log into the server with in minecraft. Hope this makes things easier for everyone! Note: the old IP address will continue to work fine unless my ISP changes my IP address. If you experience any difficulties accessing the adareland server(s), please let me know!

If any player wishes to purchase their own vending machine, please message me for pricing and real estate options. :) Join us on Adareland! http://74.83.219.205

And now, with our first location conveniently installed in the server spawn area, I’d like to introduce you to the Bank of Adareland - version 2.3. You can now do all kinds of cool things you couldn’t do in version 1.0. As a matter of fact, version 1 was so lackluster, it didn’t even garner an official location on the server. But now we have a real banking platform worthy of the players of Adareland! Features:  - Login authentication via player detector  - Check writing / printing  - Check depositing  - Check history / void functionality  - Check database for security and record keeping  - Printable bank statement  - Automatic timeout to boot idle users after 60 seconds  - New security tweaks  - Market investment platform allows players to buy/sell shares I hope this new version will make the player experience more fun on Adareland! Enjoy guys! Join us on Adareland! http://74.83.219.205

In the next post, I will officially unveil version 2.3 to you - our new banking solution! Join us on Adareland! http://74.83.219.205

More shots of the Adareland coal plant. :) Still a work in progress! I know the interior is somewhat gloomy, but I really like the environment it creates. You can almost hear the clicking of solenoids and relays, and the overwhelming whirring, banging, and hissing of heavy industrial steam powered equipment. I must be getting better at designing systems like this. I got the whole plant online last night while I was dead tired, and NOTHING BLEW UP YAY! Join us on Adareland! http://74.83.219.205

Got a real treat for all you steam lovers this week... This is Adareland’s very own fully-functional coal fired power station. I decided not to go all-out hyper futuristic on this one... I opted for a more traditional design... neoclassical in fact. The building superstructure is symmetrical, but the interior layout is not. It has all kinds of valves, levers, switches, and manual overrides. The boilers themselves CAN and WILL explode if not properly managed. The design incorporates 32 high-pressure boilers, and I’ve-lost-count-how-many converters that convert steam into EU/MJ... which form the mechanics of the four large generators in the generator hall. There is a small amount of computer control in the control room... just enough to clean up the initialization procedures. I want to add an ammeter and a few more statistics monitors, but that’ll come later. This isn’t all the pictures I have, so there’ll be another post with the rest. ;) Join us on Adareland! http://74.83.219.205

My clock tower! Another one of my buildings that I built on a singleplayer map and imported into Adareland. It’s fully functional, and has a matrix of lamps that operate like an analog clock! Now available for everyone to see and explore! Join us on Adareland! http://74.83.219.205

I’ve now developed a program that will prove useful for players who build factories! This program will automatically pay the player who owns it for goods that the player generates. I’m going to do some stress-testing with this, and see how it goes. If all goes well, which it should, I will make this available to certain players who pay enough in-game money, or make a small donation to my server. :3 Neat, eh?
