Ladies and Gentlemen, today I bring to you a grand vision.
I bring you our company's future.
Introducing: '''The TBD Enterprises Corporate Headquarters'''

Construction has begun!

==Summary==
* A grand dome, surrounded by four towers, sits in the middle of a tiny island of rock amidst fountains of magma.
* It sits at about ground level inside what is essentially a gigantic moat.
* It will not stand alone! Corporate Headquarters shall sit as a centerpiece of our first urban center.

==The Main Dome==
* Externally should look pretty much like the drawing.
* Internally I see a few obsidian columns.
* A floor of glass over magma?
** I'm totally for catacombs --[[User:Artevelde|Artevelde]] 08:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

==The Towers==
* Each topped with a small glass dome with fires underneath.
** Possibly fit 5 fires in each one?
* I'm thinking about adding a floor of obsidian with large picture windows to mirror the ones on the main dome.

==A Bridge to the City==
* A skinny bridge leads over magma to the city.

==The City==
* Create a full fledged urban center.
* Unique buildings; Independent creations.
* Well made roads. (and sidewalks?)
* Possibly a system of canals?
* I have some ideas for magma street lamps.
* Should get it's own page eventually.

Does somebody want to take a crack at the interior? -[[Float]]

==== Interior ====

* We'll need the entrances to be defensible if we decide to bring back mobs. With the current front entrance we'll either need to install doors or have it lead to an antechamber where we will. --[[User:Artevelde|Artevelde]] 10:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
* Generally, as new features come in we may want to incorporate them into HQ. The interior should be designed so that it can be flexibly re-purposed to incorporate new functional or decorative elements we can't currently anticipate. --[[User:Artevelde|Artevelde]] 10:21, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
* Do you guys think we should leave some room for a minecart transportation system for when carts are less buggy. I would be happy to take the lead on setting up the wiring and tracks once that becomes a viable option. --[[User:Theoperator|The Operator]]
** Sounds good to me, though the tracts should go into the first sublevel: following a path like the glass bridge at the current west entrance. We can either expand that bridge or build another one (or two). --[[User:Artevelde|Artevelde]] 01:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

*We need people to help dig the moat!

*I have layed out the interior side of the moat, and would like to extend it 5+ blocks out. How far exactly depends on what looks good.

*I started a section in front you can check out.

*Would like to get at least 30 blocks down, possibly further.

*The deeper you get, the more you should taper the main island, much more so than I have done so far in the front. I'm thinking 1 in for every 2 down.<br/>

The Chateau

2010-10-08T07:43:15Z

Artevelde:

[[File:The Chateau.jpg|thumb|right|View from [[Geography#Nye Lake|Nye Lake]]]]

The Chateau is [[Float]]'s main residence.

Built on the coast of [[Geography#Nye Lake|Nye Lake]], The Chateau was carved out of a cliff face and encased in glass.

East-West Canal

2010-10-08T07:40:28Z

Artevelde:

The addition of an intersecting East-West canal could allow access through the canal network to [[Geography#Nye Lake|Nye]] and [[Geography#Clinton Lake|Clinton]] Lakes.
Height differences prevent them from being one body of water, but in combination with good transfer points
and [[Circumlacustrine roads]] could provide the transportation within the core of the world.

Along with some extensions to the North-South canal, it should be easy for new bases to be built along the canals
or lakes.

== Route ==

[[User:Float]] will decide on the eastern route past [[The Chateau]].

== Water Physics ==

The western portion is dug and hatched for quick filling.
However, water physics are currently broken for multiplayer.
We'll either get around to installing a mod or the stock server will be fixed.

* <tt>restart.sh</tt> is currently broken, don't run it.
* <tt>backup.sh</tt> runs a clean backup. Will be a <tt>cron</tt> job soon.

== Monitor Memory Usage ==

# SSH into the server.
# Run the <tt>top</tt> command.
# Press <tt>Shift+M</tt> to sort processes by memory.

<tt>top</tt> will update every few seconds allowing you to watch usage in real-time.

Artevelde: Update on wicked sick scripts

=== October 7, 2010 ===

Talking with Fenrirthviti, part of the memory issues is problems with the minecraft server itself.
The server in fact requires regular restarts.

I'll be implementing a script to do this cleanly with a minimum of inconvenience to the players.
That'll be up later tonight, will have to take the server down while I put it in place.

--[[User:Artevelde|Artevelde]] 04:21, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

=== October 6, 2010 ===

Tonight we saw some intermittent but increasing lag/glitches followed by a full server crash.
I was playing and observing the server load during this, and it appears to be due to a lack of memory.
We've opened a ticket with our hosting provider to double our available memory.
In the meantime, an occasional server restart resets the memory usage and banishes the lag temporarily.
To request a restart, contact me or [[User:Floatingtrem|Erich]] and we'll restart it ASAP if we're awake.

Also, as a result of the crash there may be some bad craziness with the inventories of players who were on tonight:
let a server admin know and we can <tt>/give</tt> you blocks.

Floatingtrem may fill you in on an intermittent database error with the wiki.

Keep an eye on this page for updates,
TBD enterprises is only on its third day and we'll have this figured out before too long.

Floatingtrem may fill you in on an intermittent database error with the wiki.

Keep an eye on this page for updates,
TBD enterprises is only on its third day and we'll have this figured out bef

Connecting to the Server

2010-10-06T08:38:40Z

Artevelde: /* Windows Instructions */ Adding link to PuTTY docs.

To log onto the Minecraft server, you first need to create an SSH tunnel.<br/>Before you can do that you need to [[setup up SSH]].

== Linux and OS X Instructions ==
[[File:Minecraft-login.png|400px|thumb|right|Minecraft login screen]]
===Set Up SSH Tunnel to Server===
# Open the terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal on a Mac).
# Type into the terminal:<br/><code>ssh -NCL 8414:localhost:8414 <username>@208.115.212.56</code>
# You will be prompted for your password. This will create the SSH tunnel. Just leave the window open while you play.

===Connect to Tunnel Using Minecraft:===
# Start up Minecraft.
# Enter <code> localhost:8414 </code> at the multiplayer connection screen.

== Windows Instructions ==

Coming soon. PuTTY probably required.

In the meantime, [http://www.google.com/search?q=ssh+tunnels+putty here.]

Setting Up Your SSH Account

2010-10-06T08:32:16Z

Artevelde:

Due to the poor uptime of minecraft.net, and the lack of strict enough permission control to easily block griefers,
TBD instead handles security through SSH.

You'll be given an unprivileged account on our server in order to establish the connection (see [[Connecting to the Server]]).
Feel free to share this account with any of your friends, but you are responsible for their behaviour if they're using your account.

To request an account, contact one of the server admins: [[User:Artevelde|Artevelde]] or [[User:Float|Float]].

2010-10-06T08:14:28Z

Artevelde: /* New Player Equipment */ Adding items to community chest list

[[File:community-chest-temporary.jpg|right|250px|The Community Chest]]

The community chest is to be used as common storage for all players on the server.
It is maintained by TBD with help from players on our server.

The community chest currently has a temporary location south of Floatingtrem's base at the north end of the canal.

== New Player Equipment ==

This should contain a basic items so that a starting player can quickly get good resource collection going.
New players are invited to take what they need.
Leave enough for the next player, and try to return items once you start collecting resources for yourself.

TBD currently maintains the contents:

* Stone and wood.
* Compasses
* Torches
* Work benches
* Furnaces
* Cobblestone and sticks
* Boats (for canal navigation)

== Waste Materials ==

This can also be common storage of materials like dirt and gravel which most players accumulate
in amounts greater than they use in construction.
If you drop these off in the community chest, you don't have to worry about dealing with chests full of worthless
blocks.
Other players can then use these materials if they have a project that calls for them.

Transportation Network

2010-10-06T07:59:26Z

Artevelde: /* Transportation Network */ Fixing slip wrt what kind of tracks

= Transportation Network =

TBD maintains a network of canals and roads between the creations on our Minecraft server.
Canals and water networks allow for rapid movement, but have limited range.
Roads confer relatively little benefit over walking through the open,
but if built well can require less effort on the part of the player.
Our roads can also be augmented to include minecart tracks once the associated bugs are fixed.

== Network ==

TODO: name canal, "West Road"

== Extensions ==

Extensions should be added to the transportation network with the following goals:

* Easy movement within a core area (centered for now on Floatingtrem's base).
* Some developed paths out to resource-gathering areas.

=== Proposed Projects ===

* [[East-West Canal]]
* [[Circumlacustrine Roads]]

East-West Canal

2010-10-06T07:57:22Z

Artevelde: Proposing east-west canal extension

The addition of an intersecting East-West canal could allow access through the canal network to [[Geography#Nye Lake|Nye]] and [[Geography#Clinton Lake|Clinton]] Lakes.
Height differences prevent them from being one body of water, but in combination with good transfer points
and [[Circumlacustrine roads]] could provide the transportation within the core of the world.

Along with some extensions to the North-South canal, it should be easy for new bases to be built along the canals
or lakes.

== Route ==

The western route to Clinton will require some tunnelling, a route that will have nearly the shortest possible
tunnel is currently marked with torches.
