Title: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Croquantes on January 11, 2012, 10:36:19 am
So I got a server up and running for Minecraft. Originally, I planned to play with my friends because I'm currently in a foreign country and it's hard to keep in touch with them. Not too many of them have joined though, so I have this 20 slot server that only three people are playing on. I went kinda crazy with plugins for bukkit and got a bunch up and running, and now I have this big server with no people on it!

The rules are basic. Don't be a dink, and don't build dink (or other ugly) monuments out of dirt or cobblestone.

The IP address is 208.115.114.201:25587 and while there's no whitelist, there's some protection so you can't really do anything until a Citizen is online to promote you.

The Server

The theme of the game is colonization and a large part of this is accomplished by either joining towns already set up, or earning a bit of coin and heading off by yourself to start a new town. Another option is settle down and buy some land in Pointzero (the starting town) which is close to a nether portal and some shops.

If you choose to head out into the wilds, be aware that rails are free, and can be found in the starting settlement. There's no reason not to link your new town by rail!

You may of noticed I visited. :D
Nice place, you just need to fix the animal orgies.

Post by: Croquantes on January 11, 2012, 01:56:48 pm
Thanks! I was starting to think no one would visit!

And it's not my fault the animals loved you so much they never wanted you to leave.

Post by: Croquantes on January 11, 2012, 02:34:32 pm
If anyone wants to check out the server, and promises they'll be nice, they should leave their usernames in this thread. I can promote you so you can at least build/destroy in the wild. I need to sleep/eat/work sometimes so I can't be on 24/7.

If you're not promoted you can't really do anything except run around. Once promoted, you still won't be able to build/destroy or use blocks (like gates/doors) inside towns until someone has invited you into a town. I can PM you when I've promoted you so you know you can login and be able to do stuff. :)

I would like to be promoted if possible. I don't know if I'll be on a lot though.
I usually just treat MP worlds as SP world with people to chat with.

Post by: Dutchling on January 11, 2012, 04:33:48 pm
Well, I like the server.
You better make sure that there are ways to get out of fenced areas in case someone spawns there. In the end I got Murphy out of the place by placing a boat but you cannot get out there alone yet :P

I'd reccomend having at least one someone in an alternate timezone from you be a mod if this is a 24/7 kind of server. Won't get very far if you're the only one who can do anything important unless the server is only up when you are.

What kinda Permissions did you pick up, btw? PEX?
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Croquantes on January 12, 2012, 12:20:13 am
Well, there's only like... maybe a total of 5-6 people playing and never at the same time. And yeah, just recently migrated to PEX from Permissions 3.

FUUUUUU!

I can't. I have to wait until the server I'm hosting on updates its version. Either rollback your client version or stop playing multiplayer for a few days.

...what is a dink?
I don't know either. Let's find out!
Quote from: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dink
2.Local slang in Vermont. A stupid person, a jerk, an a-hole. A general putdown of one's abilities.

3.Racial slur used in the movies Apocalypse Now and Platoon to refer to the North Vietnamese.

4.Another colorful slang term for penis
Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DINKY
DINK is sometimes used in reference to gay and lesbian couples who are childless.

Not sure which one Croquantes is using. Not exactly polite conversation either way, but I'm leaning toward the urbandictionary definition #2 or #4.
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Croquantes on January 13, 2012, 12:54:46 am
Well, dink is a more polite euphemism for something that is not polite to say. It turns out the IP address of my server was used to host another Minecraft server before, so I get a ton of randoms that log in and destroy things or build...things. I would like to call these people all kinds of rude words, but at the moment dink works. :P

A Dink is also known as "Double Income no kids".

News: You can now make nations, and now you can only spawn in your own town, and other towns in your nation.

Also: In addition to towns claiming land, individual users can also claim plots (up to a maximum of 16). I noticed so far that no one is claiming land and so now towns PAY money to plot owners. The money paid is 50x(Number of plots owned) and is paid out once per (real life) day. This means the price of a new town was undervalued and it now costs 1000 to start a new town, 2000 for a new nation.

Well, if anyone does come on to play; come visit Markov and its Nightmare forest. The forest comes back denser and more distorted with every attempt at clearing it. I've tried chopping them down, burning them, and even resorted to TNT but that just created even more twisted abominations.

Now the canopy is so thick that monsters can survive in the day, and during the night creepers and other monsters will jump on you from the treetops.

Hey, burning it was pretty effective for Petrov's Shard. Speaking of which, please don't destroy it, it's a good landmark/combat grinding zone.

Yay for map corruption. For the second time I had to bring the server down because of chunk corruption. The first time I ran MCEdit which only seemed to delay the problem. This time I'm going to run Chunkster. The chunk error looks like this:

19.01 07:00:38 [Server] SEVERE Chunk (-61, 24) stored at  (-49, 26) in world 'world'

So it's happening at a location that's pretty far from the centre of the world (Pointzero is at 0,0).

Sorry about the delay. I'm still downloading the world files. It's 100 megs and downloading at 40kb/s. :(
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Blaze on January 19, 2012, 10:17:14 am
I think I know where that spot is.

In one end of the Nightmare Forest, I encountered a gigantic square hole that (Seemed to) go all the way down into nothingness. I was still able to interact with the world so it obviously wasn't lag; I wrote it off as a map load error and restarted.

Otherwise, I just dug into the stronghold moments before you popped in and said we needed to restart the server, perhaps it's related?
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Croquantes on January 19, 2012, 10:25:14 am
That huge hole is the trouble spot. It causes the log file to grow exponentially and causes lag. Last time, the log file was 700 megs before the server crashed and wouldn't restart. :S

Was there anything in that location before?
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Blaze on January 19, 2012, 10:32:38 am
Not that I know of, other than the hole itself there wasn't anything that shed any light to what was there.

It's my fault for letting it get that big. I figured I could let the error slide because there were no visible problems and people were on and not reporting any problems... I didn't see that the error was repeating itself like 10 times per second. :S

In other news, the server is now back up. :)

Post by: Croquantes on January 19, 2012, 01:52:45 pm
I finished setting up a community moderation system. Basically it works like this:

Ghost: You join as this, you are not able to do anything except run around and buy things, die, and perhaps starve to death.

Wanderer: Citizens and Sages can promote you to Wanderer. You're able to do everything.

Citizens: Citizens can do everything Wanderers can, plus Citizens can promote Ghosts to Wanderers and can use the /kick command to kick Ghosts who are causing trouble.

Sages: Sages can do everything Citizens can, plus Sages can promote Wanders to Citizens, they can demote Citizens and Wanderers to Ghosts, and they're able to ban Ghosts. They can also teleport to towns not in their nation.

This system is preliminary and I'll probably add another class higher than Sage because they have a little too much power right now.

For some reason, Sages can't use /pex promote, we "don't have the permissions to promote on this ladder."

I haven't tried demoting, as there's a chance that it might work.

Also, /help broke again.

No permissions for that either. However, it seems that citizens can use promote, so it looks like it's an issue with the Sage rank.

Also, the NM forest has researched defense turrets, we're boned.

We make an outpost of some sort, perhaps a trojan pony, and we use that as a base for releasing snowmen into the forest and for resupplying flint&tinder. Perhaps have a small subway going to and from it.

The nightmare forest surrounds the city of Markov on two sides. Vile creatures that usually only dare emerge at night inhabit the dark, twisted woods. We've tried chopping it down, burning it, blowing it up, burning it some more, but it just grows back even more horribly. On the plus side, we have a double chest full of logs, and that's not enough storage for all the lumber we collect from it.

R-click the sign, it'll give you a message.
Then use /lockette (Line #) (Message).

The first sign is [Private], don't change that.
Second line is your name, don't change that either.
The 3rd and fourth lines are the ones you want to change.

So /lockette 3 (Name of player)

Money sink added. Now you can buy overpriced and overpowered enchantments. YAY!

Server was a bit laggy, so I got more ram for it. Doubled from 1gig to 2. Tell me how the performance is now?

Umm... For some reason, all my skills are now at 0.

Edit: It seems that ALL the skills were screwed up. Murphy apparently gained 500 points in axes in a few hours (623). Roboboy dropped back to 6 unarmed with everyone else having 0. mctop Herbalism still shows me having 428 herbalism even though my own stats say 0...

Whaaat? That's really odd. I'll try and figure out what went wrong but I can't even get on to check it because I'm re-downloading minecraft at a whopping 0.03kb/s. >_<
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Blaze on January 23, 2012, 11:12:30 pm
It's possible that the numbers for skills was shifted around somewhat, 623 was my skill in mining.

Did Mcmmo update recently?
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!

I think I know what happened. I set the server to backup about twice a day, but the backup files themselves are pretty big. About 100megs each. Eventually there were 5 backup files, one temporary backup file, and the world itself. Then server ran out of hard drive space, and I think the mcmmo.users file (the file where users' skill levels are saved) couldn't be written to disk and was lost. :(

There's nothing I can do, as plugin files and their dependencies aren't backed up, so all the skills were lost (except, mysteriously, some of steph1131's and some of Mobius') The only thing I can do now is complain to the hosting company about getting this error in the first place. :(

So now I have to bring those skills back up from scratch?

Not just that, but items gained or lost and stuff made during the time where there was no hard drive space might be affected. :S

Looks like it got my personal chest, I was moving things around so my iron, gold, and diamond blocks all went poof; what rotten timing.

So generally, everything that I spent getting disappeared in a course of hours. I'm sorry, but I don't have the will to work and get all those back, so I'm calling it quits, indefinitely.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

After tantruming, I changed my mind. I do kind of want an XP bonus multiplier for excavation, repair, and acrobatics. Excavation and repair are time-consuming to increase and acrobatics also became more expensive due to the loss of money on death.

On further though, this is a perfect time to advertise for new players. As we have (relatively) new characters and a relatively unexplored server map. If we respawn the ender dragon, then it could pass it off as a relatively new map.

Now get to it, Chop Chop. (The advertising that is, the xp change is optional.)

The problem is, we literally own the ender portal. Wouldn't that seem a little fishy to someone looking at the towny map? Also, excavation doesn't need a buff. Repair, yes.

(speaking of new maps, I'll wait for jungles)

Considering you get a lousy 40xp for dirt/sand/gravel as opposed to mining which gives more per value of ore. I see quite a discrepancy.

What's all this talk about jungle though? Is there something special in there?

I'd hate to give up the current map just to get a bunch of trees.

Sorry I haven't been on lately. There's a week long holiday here so I'm kinda busy with family/celebrating. How's the server? Some news to report. I noticed that the default difficulty setting of the server was set to a elf-like "easy", so I changed it to hard. :D You should now be able to starve to death and get violated by angry endermen. Enjoy.

You forgot to add that you changed the resource shop signs to have dynamic prices. So the price decreases as they're sold and increases as they're bought. Consequently, the prices of redstone, coal, dirt, cobblestone, and wood have dropped to almost worthless.

However, the monster drop shop and player shops remain full price.

Is there a reason why everyone is boycotting this server? It's only me. Always. Me.
Forever alone.
With the mushrooms.
I love you, my little mushykins.
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Blaze on January 28, 2012, 08:50:50 am
It's not boycotting per se, the server wasn't that populated to begin with. A few are waiting for the "Jungle update", and fewer active players results in even fewer active players. I still play regularly, so we must live in different time zones.

You could always advertise the server somewhere to bring in more players. I considered posting the server on Reddit myself, but...

Also, I'm curious, if the jungle update comes, will we be able to access them with the current map? Seeing as MC generates new chunks when they're explored.

If we do switch to a new world, will we at least keep our skills? I finally got to 1/3 of my power before the wipe, and I'd be pretty annoyed if I was forced to do it again.

Same error as last time. SEVERE java.io.IOException: No space left on device. Don't know what it means, and don't know how to prevent it. It's curious that mcMMO is the only plugin that's directly affected by this error.
Title: Re: (minecraft) my server needs people!
Post by: Aklyon on February 02, 2012, 08:46:20 pm
Most plugins only need a teeny bit of space. mcMMO is an exception.
Also, you might need to limit the backups you have at once, or shrink the map.
