No, no, that I can access them despite this being a demo. >=D

Also, I think I'll try it without Firefox running today; I don't know if it likes two 150,000k using programs running at once. =P

[mtmerrick]

Well, yes minecraft can be a resource hog (if you allow it) so it'll appriciate the added system resources

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yeah. =P Still kinda laggy, I'll admit, but I'm under par for the requirements, so the fact that it runs, and isn't even that bad frame rate wise, is a very good fact to me. =D

[mtmerrick]

Yes it is!

And as for your saves:

For xP, go to windows explorer and type %appdata% into the address bar, hit enter. Go to .minecraft -> bin -> saves. Your world will be a folder, copy it out out save a backup.

For 7, open the start menu and type in %appdata% into the search bar at the bottom. Follow the same steps as above.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Alright, found it. Now, the only question is if I can somehow manage to backport my map, into the new save I'll start, so I can continue exploring, while not running out of time... Since both would be Demo_World, and have the same structure(There's no way I can be that lucky to find two maps exactly the same), theoretically it should work, but it'd likely port the time limit as well, or lack thereof, since I used all the time on that world up.

Wait; you can't set custom seeds in the demo Minecraft? o_O

[mtmerrick]

Explained your world map location in another the read

Also, flipz, pseudohumanity, please.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

MTM: The saves thing, or what I mentioned above, about the world being the same?

Flipz: It doesn't allow it to start(It just goes 'building terrain'), likely because it's not the full version...

But that world I was just playing; that was definitely not where I was before, so unless I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque, then it is randomized, but maybe doesn't set a new seed until you complete a map in the demo mode... I'm not quite sure. I backed up my old world, though. =)

Something else odd about that; I got hit by like three Creepers today, and none of them killed me instantly. 0_o

[mtmerrick]

Can't sleep........

[MsRowdyRedhead]

neither can I.. and I keep getting cramps in my legs and feet...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I nearly couldn't either, but luckily I did. =P

[mtmerrick]

Was almost 4 but the time I actually fell asleep.....

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Yikes. =/ That's not very good... =/

[mtmerrick]

*is now at work*

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Ah, that's cool then. =)

[mtmerrick]

i ever give you my work PC specs?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I forget, actually. I think you might have, but it'd be cool to read that again if I did. =)

[mtmerrick]

its an older custom computer made by ZT systems.

-Windows XP Professional 32-Bit
-Asus P5N-MX Motherboard
-Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHZ
-NVIDIA GeForce 7050 nForce 610i
-3 GB DDR2 RAM
-320 GB SATA II HDD
-Generic DVD RW drive
-THIS logitech keyboard/mouse combo
-HP f1903 LCD monitor


And since we both know GHz and cores doesn't mean too much, look up the specs/benchmarks for the CPU and GPU =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Hmm; seems a couple steps up form my desktop. Only in a few cases, though. =)

I have two CPUs, though, so that might balance things out.

[mtmerrick]

Dual CPUs faded out of the consumer market so long ago I'm surprised the chassis hasn't decomposed or something the only place you'll see dual CPUs nowadays (or in the past decade) is in enterprise workstations.
