UPDATES!

Ok so pass this on! We are going ahead with updating the server. We are putting in a NEW TEMPORARY map. Everyone will have creative abilities! You can build whatever you like! The deal with this is.. If i like it, I will have it put into a schematic and moved over to the actual server map for everyone to play with. Keep in mind this is not a competition to see who can build the best thing. It's a chance for you all to have fun! I figure we have about a week to do this just to see how this version of Bukkit runs (Still in Beta).

Please make sure you have copied your minecraft folder to a different part of your hard drive, secondary drive or USB key. IF something happens I will have a clean JAR of what the server was running.

MODS: I will be posting the client side mods that I use (Optifine, Rei's, etc)

Also I am thinking of changing the blog over to a website like my personal one. Not sure if I can do that with Blogspot but I will see. If not I will have the site listed here to go to wordpress. It will make things easier to find. Such as the mod list and IP etc.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a new feature for the server. When you go to log in it will say "Server starting up. Please wait" There will be a cancel button and you can then reconnect immediately. This is basically putting the server into sleep mode to save bandwith and resources.

Feedback welcome!!

1. whatever update

I'm sure you all are getting tired of waiting for the server to be updated, trust me.. I KNOW..

We are going out of town for the weekend but when we get back if bukkit isn't out of beta Rumn will test the server with it.

The reason I don't want to use Beta is if something goes wrong the server will have to be reverted, or at worst get corrupted. Veterans to the server know how I felt when the last world got corrupted.

I could always put up a new map temporarily and let you all play around in creative on it or something in the meantime..

I hate waiting and I hate making you all wait.

Suggestions are welcome.

Also when I get back I will work on the client side mods that I use (Rei's Minimap etc) and add them here with links. I'll also work on server commands and who has access to what.

1.4 Update

So far Bukkit is in Beta, which is not really what I want to put on the server due to errors. Apparently the older beta version was full of bugs. If it's still in Beta once everything else gets updated we will look at getting it anyways.

Hoping this will be updated soon! I want 1.4.2 as much as everyone else does.

Also I will look at the updated mods like Rei's Minimap and link them to the blog.

Thanks for having patience, I'll update when I have anything new.

Terra Novum VS 1.4!

Once again we are waiting for plugin updates. We don't have that many to wait for since we took some extras out that were broken (may add them back in.. like Tree Assist).
Hoping this wont take too long as I personally really want to take advantage of some of the 1.4 features.

Also Please do not spawn a wither boss until I have time to test to see what exactly it does (besides blowing stuff up) and how the server reacts to it. Last thing we need is a wither boss rampaging thru the world! A

Anyways keep an eye on the blog for updates! Also if you have friends who would like on the server, suggestions, comments feel free to let me know!

Chest Protection Notice

As of today the mod that protects chests with signs is no longer on the server.
We have replaced it with Lockette.

There are some commands associated with this addon but I think it will be WELL worth it.

Chests
Basic no command lock: Hold a sign, right click the chest to be locked.
You can add a second sign to a double chest and it will default add everyone to more users

Tho this is irrelevant to the server it also protects chests from explosions like TNT and creepers.

Manually adding signs
Place a sign in on the ground by a chest and type in the following
[private]
<your name>

NOTE: YOUR NAME IS CASE SENSITIVE! So if your name is CrAzYnAmE then you have to type it like that.
DO NOT protect Enderchests. They are already private for you and I have heard using Lockette may break them.
This also works for Furnaces, Jukeboxes, Enchanting Tables and Dispensers.

Add More Users
Place a sign on other side on the ground by a double chest and type in the following
[More Users]
<name>

You can add up to 6 people on both signs

You can place the sign on any side of the chest. Front, sides and back and it will apply itself to the chest.


Doors
The same applies for doors. You can add it in front of the door or above the door.
Do the same as double chests for double doors

Another great feature for doors is you can put them on a timer to remain open

To do this type in (under your name)

[Timer:<time in seconds>]

Sometimes a door will get stuck in the open position. To fix this look at the door and type
/lockette fix

Iron Doors
The same thing works for iron doors but there are a few things to note. Doing this will make the iron door work like a wooden door. Just right click to open it. This will also nullify levers, pressure plates and any other ways to open an iron door.

Trapdoors
Same commands as a door


Editing Lines
Right click the sign while not holding a sign (may have to be empty hand).
To add more users type
/lockette <line to edit> <name>

To remove a line type
/lockette <line to edit>


If you have any questions please let me know!!

Adventure Maps!

Once the weekend is over and I am recovered from show season for another year I plan on having some maps tossed up for those that would like to play them. Off hand I have The Dropper, Star Wars map, Tower Defense, Skyblock 2.0, The Library (Dropper series), The Trial of the Minemasons (if we can get it working correctly), TNT Olympics, and the Tornado mod if anyone would like to try it and I get it working.
If you have a map you would like to try let me know and I'll see what I can do.
I am also going to be taking applications to add people to the server to get it more populated. I will add friends without an application as per usual!
Hoping to get more people back and playing!

Lag in new town.

Since we started the new area there's been alot of block lag. I have now connected the old and new areas by flying and rendering the land in between them to see if that will help with the lag. 

I will keep working at fixing this but until then please bear with it. 

Warp to the new area is "/warp secondtown". Feel free to build close to town or as far away as you like from it. As stated in a previous post this was done to render in the new temples and emeralds without starting on a new map.
