    You sure about that?

    Notch has said that they're 4 meters cubed...

    It might just be a clipping error D:!

    I don't see a shadow on those guys (floor), so they might be pretty far away... 4x4 is pretty big, if that is their size...

    4 m^3 would be 2x2(x1) kouji D:
    this ratio seems ok for the bottom pic but theyre clearly cubed in the first pic, so maybe the volume is wrong and its meant to be that other crazy dimension, but that would make them the biggest thing in the game really, even giving trees a run for their money :O

    Heh, somehow I read it has 4 by 4, but 4 cubed ain't all that big...

    rumors about goblin villages and giants are interesting though! meh, rumors!

    That conversion would mean players are 4 meters tall too :P He has said that each block is supposed to be a cubic meter, so these would be 4 blocks on each side, 64 total.
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    A cubic metre block is 1mx1mx1m
    That makes the player 2 meters tall (1mx1mx2m)
    4 cubic metres is 2x2x1

    I see what you are saying, but the screenshot clearly indicates that ghasts are full cubes, not flat and wide, so it has to be 4x4x4 not 4 cubic meters. Not to mention this <a href="http://twitter.com/notch/status/28438440470" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/notch/status/28438440470</a> seems to indicate such.

    Also, "four cubed" means 4^3, which means 4x4x4, which means 64.

    Anyway, if they can spawn in the overworld, makes you wonder if hell travel is worth it at all. Creepers are destructive enough, this thing looks like it will destroy All You Hold Dear before you realise it.

    It shoots fire. Just build with stone in any ghost rich areas.

    They can also destroy blocks.

    And apparently they spawn around portals sometimes if there's room.

    So build your portals somewhere secure or out of the way.

    We need an Iris on the Portal to defend our precious stuffs and such!
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    Ah, See I blame Kouji who posted the 4 meters cubed line.

    As for the spawning around portals:
    Unless it has changed, it will probably work like a monster spawner (in terms of spawning 'near'), which means that you have to make sure there isn't a 4x4x4 area within a certain radius as monster spawners will spawn mobs through walls.

    I kinda want to make portal rooms which are the size of the radius that they can spawn in, then make floating blocks that keep there from being any 4x4x4 areas in said room.

    I'm in your heads messing with your minds!


    I'd make some pillars around those portals, floating blocks float... And look weird!

    i swear to god kouji if you make a "TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL" joke in you let's play I'm gonna pour lava over everything you hold dear D: (and yeah obviously 4^3 m^3 =/= 4 m^3 I just go on what's ya tells me and I mentioned it in my op \o\)
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    I redact my previous blame placed on Kouji and now rest the blame on ZiGGY.

    Why?
    Because I can.
  • ZiGGYZiGGY Join Date: 2003-01-19 Member: 12479Members
    keep telling yourself that and maybe it'll come true thansal :O

    Ok, let me explain it the easy way:

    INT((0,4)INT((0,4)INT((0,4) 1 )dx)dy)dz

    =

    INT((0,4)INT((0,4)(4-0))dy)dz

    =

    INT((0,4) (4-0)*(4-0)) dz

    =

    (4-0)*(4-0)*(4-0)

    =4^3
    =64

    Seems like the volume of a cube which an edge length of 4 is 64.

    GO SUCK ON IT!

    we get it fask, but this was the only data provided about its actual volume, kouji suggested 4x4 and said nothing about its width

    the only thing inaccurate ive said is that 4 m^3 can also be represented as 4x1x1 canonically and as previously stated aligns misinformation probably stems from a translation error more than an observational error \o\

    are both of you thick as pig ###### or are you just trolling? quoting sources not referenced in a thread and then trying to prove it inside the thread using a 5 y/os attempt at multipleintegrals and a 10 year olds attempt at numeracy? you both lose, boojum snark wins for actually contributing something useful (the link confirming the actual dimensions) \o\
  • AlignAlign Remain Calm Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 5216Forum Moderators, Constellation
    4 meters cubed being the same as 4 cubic meters would mean that the spider is 4 meters cubed (1 high, 2 wide, 2 deep), so I should think it was fairly obvious from context that it was a case of 4*4*4 cubic meters, or a cube 4 meters on a side.

    I know I've seen it used to mean a cube x meters on a side (like lolf was trying for with 4^3), but yeah x cubed normally just means x units^3 so I guess that was pretty misleading.

    What if the Ghast, which is seemingly invincible as said by Notch somewhere. Is indeed 4x4x0 That would make him 2-Dimensional, oh gawd...
