They try but when the door is fully broken on not-hard it just goes back to being not damaged

So I spent a while compiling a list of mods I would recommend, with links to threads and other stuff and a touch of compatibility advice.
It's right over here on my derpbox
If you find it helpful then you may find it helpful to know I find its helpfulness somewhat gratifying. I'm planning to mass install all of them at once and see if I can get it to work.
Some mods on it have links to their other, official websites for downloads. I still linked the threads in this case simply because it's a good thing to have available to see discussion/potentially seek advice if you have issues.

mo' creatures is pretty mediocre anyway, I can't think of a single thing in it that isn't just ambient mobs with no real use aside from variety

Like you say, you can TNT proof it if you have the resources, thus making it impervious anyway. TNT just means that you CAN be robbed while you're offline if someone has the resources to make the TNT, and thus gives you the incentive to make your base harder to get into with that regard (thicker walls so someone can't just get one TNT and blast in or obsidian lining)
This also due to the larger amount of resources required to be defensible gives people a reason to band together into actual factions
For perspective on TNT rarity as well, I would personally have nerfed creeper spawnrate into the ground so gunpowder would be rarer. I do this not to make gunpowder rare, but actually because 90% of the time there is as many creepers as all other mobs combined, which pisses me right off since a) they don't burn in sunlight and b) they cause actual damage to the stuff you've built. Trying to farm gunpowder would be an exercise in futility.

Protection should only extend to block breaking via non-TNT and block placement of things other than TNT/water/lava, so people actually make secure forts rather than just OH PROTECTION SO I'LL JUST LEAVE THIS CHEST OUT HERE

I don't play legit singleplayer, it's just wasting my own time
And when I host a server I usually don't even op myself or else I goof off

It's because it applies AA to the edges of each block, not to each edge of the overall block mesh
I don't use AA for that reason only, though on 4-8x default blocks don't have the edges (modded blocks do, for some reason)

Honestly:
Jagex evolved a text-based game into a graphical one, pushing their medium a step further (Runescape was originally a MUD - TMYK)
Jagex practically loving pioneered web games (actually Runescape is still pretty unique in that it's a web-based game not based around waiting for stuff)
Their fees were never that steep honestly get over it, yes they locked a lot of stuff away but the modern industry is worse - if they were doing something with a retail product odds are there wouldn't be a free component at all
They're also working on a HTML5 client for Runescape, pushing for new tech adoption that will benefit everyone
Also apparently the new combat system is available to free players and the entire loving game is different from last time I was bored enough to look at it. They're certainly not neglecting free players
Runescape might not be a particularly great game but it's a pretty big piece of gaming culture and history at this point, and Jagex themselves as a company are pretty loving cool. I can't honestly see them taking a lot of creative control over the game, so really, nothing to worry about here.

« on: October 30, 2012, 06:25:47 PM »craftOS 1.4 has pastebin downloading by defaultIf they added an API method to access your clipboard, you could easily do pasting custom by adding a handler for ctrl+v presses and reading through the data in your clipboard
and yeah, you can copy/paste single lines in, but the edit program doesn't necessary work like that. the single lines thing only applies to when a user uses read() in a program.
firstly, there's not really any way to get clipboard data from lua without using read(), so keep that in mind.
basically, the edit program works by storing all of the lines in the currently open program in a table, and it detects keypresses, then appends the pressed character to the end of the line the user is on. it doesn't use read() and therefore is unable to receive clipboard data.
You could even then make a program like "pastie myprog" to basically put everything in your clipboard into the 'myprog' file
The only thing I could see being an issue with this is network sync, but I'm pretty sure it's synced at the data level not keypresses between clients because that would be dumb (then again, CC has a few other dumbs in, so it could be. WHO KNOWS)
Frankly the fact that CC isn't limited in its power is a detriment to my opinion of it. I like keeping my game somewhat balanced, and CC computers are very powerful and also very cheap. It's really more of a fun toy than an actual game item. RP2 computers are limited in their power and in general feel more like part of the game, though they're ridiculously annoying on account of FORTH. Stack-based programming is silly.
It's still a really fun toy though, wish there was one that implemented JS instead so I could stop swapping between if then end and if(){}
