New snapshot released, here's the details thus far:

Quote:

Ladders regained their collision box, and vines are climbable when they have a solid block behind them
Added jungle biome (requires a new world) with new tree and leaf types
Updated language files
Dispensers will place mobs instead of releasing the spawner egg
Zombies have new path-finding AI
Wolves have new AI and can be bred (when tame)

So hopefully tamed wolves no longer casually walk into lava pools. I'm still surprised that Notch coded creepers to be able to ambush people, but wolves not walking off of cliffs? Nope, too much to ask

So, any headway with the diagnosis of the poor server.

if the server is still down, i'd be willing to just keep the free 20 man server that i use whenever me or my friends wanna play running on my computer if people want a temporary (albeit crappy) place to play together until the sda server comes back. it's not much but it's something. if anyone is interested let me know and i'll let you know my ip and the port i use and whatever

i don't really know much about plugins or whatever, so if there's anything i should download to make the server a better place lemme know and i'll run those as well

New snapshot:

New jungle-specific Ocelot mob that can be tamed with Raw Fish into a Cat.
Mobs have new AI and a few new behaviors
Skeletons and Zombies burning in sunlight will run towards darkness
Added the Bottle o' Enchanting item to creative mode, which gives XP orbs when thrown
Added the Fire Charge
Updated language files
The slightly changed Dispenser and oak Sapling textures
Added Jungle sapling
Multiple users have reported a strange well-like structure in deserts composed of Sandstone

Notable Bugs:

Cats and Ocelots do not have any sound while sprinting or taking damage
Ocelots can become stuck in fences if they run into it
Vines will slow down the player if running through them (noticeable in the swamp biome)

Yeah, wolves 2.0, except these run head-first into lava pools and get stuck in fences, for the moment. Really, whatever happened to quality over quantity?

Cats also cannot be told to sit, so if you own one, you can't go near ANYTHING dangerous

Thats why everyone should prefer dogs over cats.

Ok so it appears that the server is a lost cause... acceptable. It was barely established to start with. May I suggest a fresh server and bjorn mcediting a city with plots in so that we don't have to waste time and resources trying to do it ourselves?

Did Bjorn actually say that or are you simply assuming since it's been down for however long? Either way is fine with me really, although IIRC admins can go Creative even in Survival servers, so he could have plots and the like build in no time

MC edit would allow him to copy and paste plots and pieces of city wall and the like, You know, because even creative mode is too slow for the creation of a city. Unless of course he starts a server and then temporarily ops people who would then go into creative mode and assist in building the city

I suppose MCedit it is in that case. Anyway, you forgot to answer my question Roll Eyes

What would it take to set up a new server? I have an extra computer, so I might be able to set one up.

in jungle biomes i think you can find ocelots and you tame them with fish(?) i think to turn them into cats.

you need a new world to find jungle biomes though

If the old server wasn't dead presently, it is now I think. Atlhough I'm pretty sure you only need to explore new areas, nor necessarily create a new world altogether

Well the new-old server sucked to be honest. No establishment, for god sake, there was a raving in the middle of the city

New snapshot, old one info was updated:

Old:

Lava sounds now function.
Many mob-related bug fixes (and some new behaviors).
Ocelots are easier to tame, and Cats can be told to sit.
Many small bug fixes and tweaks.
Villagers will try to detect village houses and live in them.
Updated language files (now with 50% less profanities!)
Removed some offensive translation text.
If your home bed is missing/obstructed while you are on Canadian English, it will say "Sorry, your home bed is missing or obstructed, eh?"
Creepers run away from cats.
Creepers now have new AI - they stalk the player.
Abandoned mineshafts now bridge over ravines
Enchantment tables no longer require experience in creative mode

Notable Bugs:

Shift-Clicking gives half the amount of items that you would get from repetitive left/right clicking when crafting, and can also consume additional items (eg 11 stick and 12 coal, shift-clicking the torches consumes the extra coal)
When right-clicking a sitting cat with your bare hands, the game crashed.
Cats are sometimes unable to be breed with fish thus only able to consume them.
The Cats' body will be broken into fragments.
Cats only sit if your right click with an item in hand.
Ghasts are completely incapable of movement.
If you kill a creeper while it is initializing countdown, it's corpse will blow up.
Villagers, while able to purposely enter a house, will not stay there.
Villagers can get stuck trying to open a door that is unreachable.
If a villager is exiting a house while another is entering it, they will get stuck.
At night, if a villager fails to detect a house, it will stand still and do nothing.
Villagers barely move their heads anymore.
Spawn Eggs will duplicate even if not on the egg of it's kind

New:

Fixed shift-clicking the result from crafting only giving one item regardless of the amount of material used.
Cats will now sit if right-clicked with an empty hand.
Death screen has a slight delay before buttons become active, to avoid accidentally clicking buttons when killed.

Can anyone tell me what, in Enderdragon's name, Creepers were doing before this snapshot?

Sounds more like a feature if you ask me.

They only now stalk me? Jesus christ I don't even want to look behind me now in case one of those bastards came out the PC and into my room.
