Shadow322 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 mostly cause I have no idea how large the existing map is. Then just log in. You've already been whitelisted. You'll find that the map is huge and highly populated. I already jumped on! Does anyone mind if I start the creative mode reconstruction process on the stronghold that's connected to the rail system? The one with the end portal in it? I'd really like to fix it all. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobExplorien Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 There happens to be a chunk or two of protected area in the middle of the city (probably for a longer time), what is the reason for it? Could it perhaps be made unprotected again. It doesn't really seem to protect anything (and if it did, only partially) and it prevents Arth and I to connect our revised railway system.

I think I know of exactly what you speak of, I finished you rail system and connected them, going around the protected area. If you don't like it then I'll gladdly go through the trouble of undoing all I did but tell me what you think about it... you're talking about next to the city park looking thing, right, near the train station?

Jimbob Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 That sounds like the server's spawn protection. As far as I'm aware it cannot be completely removed, only shrunk to one block. To confirm this, Shadow322, did you spawn in the main area or inside a stronghold? If you spawned in the middle of a bunch of large structures, it's spawn protection and I can reduce that for you.

Shadow322 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well I spawned on top of a hovering library thing when I joined in the first time. I also went to The End recently and when I returned it spawned me right in front of the green glass thing with "Obey the Paradox" on it.

Fluffy Cupcake Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 it may not be possible to convert it back to Vanilla again should another Bukkit death happen to other mods (I'm sure Bukkit hasn't been the only server mod to get the axe). I don't see how converting between Bukkit and Vanilla both ways should be a problem, the world shouldn't break at all. It's not like we are using Spoutcraft (bukkit-alone-impossible mods galore!). Also, speaking of Bukkit (this is probably old news, but hey, I was never notified), Bukkit seems to be downloadable again. No 1.8.1 downloads yet though.

Jimbob Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Really, where'd you find that? It still seems to be down. The guys behind it said goodbye a few months ago anyway. This is the end, it's time to say goodbye. It's been an amazing run and we achieved much more than anyone thought was possible, even ultimately culminating in Mojang hiring our original core team. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and the Bukkit project has run its course, leaving me to make one final - incredibly difficult - decision to shut down the project I’ve poured 3 and a half years of my life into which means so much to me. We're no longer able to confidently distribute our modified versions of the Minecraft server and it is no longer smart for us to continue with our update process. Sadly, this means we will NOT be updating Bukkit nor CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.8 and, since Minecraft 1.7.10 introduced the EULA enforcement, we will be placing the project under a code freeze for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, due to obvious legal reasons we will not be helping anyone else complete any updates nor sharing our methods despite any desire to the contrary. Although the project itself will essentially be no more, we'll continue to support our community, the forums, IRC and BukkitDev as long as we are able and as long as our partners support us with the resources and infrastructure to do so. Yeah, they shut down Bukkit. However, the Mojang guys did say they were going to work on Bukkit themselves, but that was also a few months ago and it's probably more convenient to just work on the official API rather than try and update Bukkit. The fact that Mojang hired Bukkit's original team suggests that hey, maybe their official one really is on its way soon and could be as decent as Bukkit was. As for Spigot? At any given moment it could be taken down. That doesn't mean we can't use it, but to take the time to upgrade the server to a modded one when at any point it could suddenly be taken down - forcing us back to Vanilla if we want the latest Minecraft builds - means that it may not be worth the effort to set it up, especially as you have to build it yourself. I know this all sounds doom-and-gloom and I'm sorry that I currently have no interest in setting this server up for plugins, but I hope you will all understand that I'd be much more comfortable in making our server an official modded server, rather than a custom one which could be hit with legal issues, just as Bukkit was, at any point.

Fluffy Cupcake Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I see. Also, I seem to have been looking in the wrong area. I was looking here where the downloads are still functional (the green button working too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean we can't use it, but to take the time to upgrade the server to a modded one when at any point it could suddenly be taken down That's where you start looking into server software that does not rely on reversed Minecraft client code, like the ones I linked earlier. If it is an original creation (as in, written from scratch), then the possibility of being taken down decreases tremendously because it does not depend on copyrighted code. http://mc-server.org/ http://www.glowstone.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Ah, yes. Unfortunately those builds aren't 1.8 / 1.8.1 compatible. I already said that before your last reply. Also, maybe look into whatever le717 is saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm grateful for those links, but Glowstone isn't a complete project yet and doesn't look like it will be for a while - it's lacking mobs, for example, which is a pretty big thing. Having a brief skim of MCServer, it appears it operates a little differently to a Vanilla server, and additionally runs from a .exe which my server hosts can't use (they're strictly .jar). Besides that it doesn't have many plugins, being a custom server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow322 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I can say now that the Stronghold it about.... 70% restored thanks to what I've restored and the new expantions I've built onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow322 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Aaaaaand... done, all finished with the stronghold... restored things, built new things, fixed and adjusted other things. Now I can just add more to it if I want too, maybe adjust the incoming station at the strong hold ot match the theme more... Anyone mind if I build a giant Core Drill Statue (or try to build one) near the town? Any's that seen Gurren Lagann will know what a Core Drill is.

Shadow322 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Is there a reason the server it perpetually set to day? And why Redstone Lanps with light sencers aren't used on the train tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Cupcake Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Is there a reason the server it perpetually set to day? And why Redstone Lanps with light sencers aren't used on the train tracks? Because some moderator accidentally left "gamerule: doDaylightCycle" on? Also, thanks for asking, but I don't think you'll get much responses on what you can and can't build. The mods who would know of such things don't read this, but the ones that don't know are the ones that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow322 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Anyone mind if I try to build a real track to IceWater? Or in the process find a closer ice themed biom for the city to be transplanted too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR Rocks Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I wouldn't mind if you could work on the track that I started, but the town stays where it is. Try and keep the style consistent with the rest of the tracks, if you decide to work on it. EDIT: Okay, who changed the station in the main village? Who ever did it, did so without my permission. I want them to change it back to how it was. EDIT 2: The problem has been resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and keep the style consistent with the rest of the tracks, if you decide to work on it. Cool, thanks. I just need to make sure I have a spawn set and then use a compass to keep track of what direction to build the rail towards... as for the style... I might build a makeshift rail way first and then go back to styleize it, hope that's ok with you. Also, can someone tell me why there is a inpropperly funtioning inground lamp system in the main town? And would it be ok if I try to fix that and wire it up to a single laylight sensor? Also I'm looking for the person that made the underground path to the desert village, I want to fill that in and make a real path (that isn't underground and ugly). Oh, and lastly I'm going to start building a new town at some point, it will possibly be names Velmare or something along those lines, Vermeer Vermile... something like that.

RR Rocks Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Alright people of the server. I come with a list of proposals that Arthuriel and I compiled for the town around spawn. It's mostly about moving / removing obsolete or abandoned buildings, however, there are also some active builds / builds who's constructors are still active enough to justify the build. That is why I have come here so that moderators / original creators can give us the greenlight to renovate the town. _______________________________________________________ Directed more towards the moderators: There are a few builds around the city that have been agreed upon by members of the server to be rather annoying / out of place, while still maintaining artistic value to a degree that removing them would be a disservice to the server. That is why I suggest that these builds should be moved using MCedit, if JJ is willing to do so and the original author also agrees to this. We do not want to force anything on anyone, we are just asking. _______________________________________________________ Anyway, here is the list: Thing that need to be removed: Ben's teleporter Removed!acaica wood "trainstation" (both ends + rail) Creator has returned to continue work on it!giant smoothstone block (le717's house?) Creator responded and denied removal.giant energy crystal floatmarket wood house under the floatmarketunfinished train station Signs removed by someone (Original creator?). jedi2999's house (due to inactivity)(Ben's?) Bedrock tower (Portal 2 thing) Removed! Shadowblaze's temporary homeThings that should be moved to a different location: Ace's sky city (best over an ocean, so that it doesn't mess with spawns) spaceships (could be placed in end, for space look) "obey the paradox" statue JJ's old shack (it's rather close to the station and it's flying now)Arth's mob grinder Removed! _______________________________________________________ We also came to the conclusion that the spawn town needs an official name. It would be great if we could gather ideas here and vote on them at some point. _______________________________________________________ If you do not want your build removed, but are okay with it being moved (if JJ is willing, obviously) then that can be done as an alternative. You are free to say no to anything. In the case that the original author hasn't logged in in a long time, I think the moderators could speak for them. I'll update this post according to developments.
