Minecraft EXTREMELY long rail

**Blue Shoe 2** · 08-06-2011, 12:56 AM

Hi there folks! in my spare time, I decided to undertake a project in minecraft; and EXTREMELY long rail! the video for it starts out at night, so it's hard to see. Skip forward a minute or two. I love minecraft, so this is my loveletter to the game.

Nice video, how long did it take to make all that? Also some music would help A LOT.

It took a few days of off time. Also, my copy of fraps never recorded sound. I forgot to upgrade :P

aside from that, I actually had to use a world editor to create the section that goes underwater

Well it's a cool video but without sound most people will probably get bored before it's over. Slap something on there and you're good to go.

Very good point. I requested an Audioswap on youtube as we speak.

Wow...great job. Thats a hell of a lot of work with there!

Good work Blue!
I've just recently started playing MC myself, and I can see why it's so popular.
But just one thing, shouldn't that massive wall of stone you rolled past have read 'RetroUprising' on its side?

**Dudebro** · 08-09-2011, 07:07 PM

How much does this game cost now? I've been meaning to try it but I keep forgetting. Btw BS2 it seems like I saw you playing this on Steam? If so how come there's no MC hats for TF2?

**Seahawk** · 08-09-2011, 08:03 PM

It's €15 Euro right now, I'll let you do the currency conversion.

**Blue Shoe 2** · 08-09-2011, 08:09 PM

It's a non-steam game. but there are minecraft hats in REAL LIFE!

I would love to get back into Minecraft but I don't know if I have the time and people to share a world with.

I'm trying out a server now. I'll let you know the IP if it's good.

Also, I really recommend buying minecraft. to misquote penny arcade, "it's not crack. it's the ingredients you need to make crack. which is worse."

**Kugyince** · 08-09-2011, 08:41 PM

I tried giving them my money before but they refused to add a price tag for USD$.

**Blue Shoe 2** · 08-09-2011, 08:57 PM

I don't know what that means. please elaborate?

**Kugyince** · 08-09-2011, 09:26 PM

I tried to buy Minecraft before but the card I was using wouldn't let me because the price was listed only in Euros and not US Dollars.

**Blue Shoe 2** · 08-09-2011, 09:55 PM

Oh. Well It might work now. If that doesn't work, you could always put some cash in a paypal account.

How come I keep seeing my steam thingy saying you are playing Minecraft BS2? I know it's not an exclusive but that does mean you bought it through steam right?

Nope! you can add non-steam games to steam. It usually just lets you access the steam overly in non-steam games so you can keep chatting. unfortunately, the steam overlay doesn't work with minecraft, but it's good for a shortcut.

Also, you could play minecraft full for free until a certain date if you buy the humble indie bundle. it's a name-your-own price game pack. you can play as little as a penny if you want, but they deserve more.
The Humble Indie Bundle #3 (pay what you want for five awesome indie games)

they do periodic sales, it will be open soon.

also, you can play the classic build of minecraft (which was just creating things with blocks, no special monster-fighting, rail-building fun.) for free here

How do you add random games to Steam? Does this mean I could add something like Spore and bother you with the fact that I'm playing?

I believe you go to library-> add non-steam game --> find the exe -->

? ---> profit.

**Dudebro** · 08-10-2011, 01:32 AM

Do you think that would work for a game Steam carries? Like if I added Champions Online would it register it and allow me to get achievements? That'd be cool.

I don't know about achievements, but you could likely just add the game.

**Dudebro** · 08-10-2011, 01:38 AM

Well I have the game and it's on Steam so I might as well give it a shot. I'll stop derailing your topic now, my bad.

Nice job Blue Shoe!

My bro got Minecraft a few weeks ago and loves it. It's only like 2-3 Gigabytes, right?

Less, I think. The game uses randomly generated maps, so it would depend on whether you spawned on a mountain or in plains/desert. Also, if you've thorughly explored a map it generates more of the map, increasing the size.
