Cool that should help with the lag

Server is back up. First post updated with info to download Tekkitk and connect.

So are we now running the latest version of minecraft?

Yes it 's running 1.1 now. You only need the Tekkit 2.0 launcher in the first post to join.

Updated main post.

Apparenlty there is an error with the wireless redstones. You need to install the WirelessRedstoneClient.zip to your "%appdata%.techniclauncher ekkitmods" folder or get a BAD PACKET ID 235 crash when trying to use them.

Tekkit updated to 2.1.1. Check first post for important info on selecting which version to use or you will get a missing mod error.

I know we had some issues with mods not working a bit back, and I see the server not showing up in my minecraft server list. I was wondering if this projected died?

If we are waiting on mods to be updated could we vanilla the server up a little just play around in survival mode?

Sorry, I was doing work on the server PC and had shut some of the Hyper-Vs down. Forgot to turn that back on. Starting it up now.

And no, the project isn't dead. Just put on the back burner for a bit. I think it might be a good time to check on newer mod releases though.

Updated some stuff and made some changes.

Setup MySQL backend for mods that use it. Hopefully this helps speed things up a bit.

After switching Coruscant back to main world to get Ultimate Arena to work, was reminded of old problem of TerrainControl not working on main world. Finally found a fix, was to add the world and terrain control in the main bukkit.yml (really putting this here for my own sake).

Switched Dynmap to use MineWars Texture pack for map generation. Also set for Hi Res images.
- Installed dyn-mobs, dyn-towny, dyn-factions, dyn-worldguard addons.

Added a few other mods to test out
Towny Advanced
Hyperconomy (Dynamic Markets)
MagicSpells (have to configure fully still)
Bookworm (Can write to books, and works with MagicSpells mod for spell tomes)


Phew..

Some ideas I want to jot down here so I don't forget. Feel free to chime in with ideas or feedback.

Towny
- paid for, protected non griefing areas. Maybe limit the ability to mine effectively.
- non faction oriented. Different, even warring factions can live together.
- Warring towns... able to destroy, or just kill?

Faction Claims
- free (only limited by faction power), Non protected areas. No restrictions on mining or building.


Freelance Claims? Not sure if we should allow non town, non faction people to just purchase land. Or setup plots near the major cities.

Frustrated. Both Factions and Towny have prevent wilderness damage settings, which I want. But if you enable on either, it will treat the other as a wilderness and not allow you to build/destroy on it. So I guess we'll just have to allow people to mine/build/whatever wherever they want. Just won't be protected at all.

Soo many plugins.. so hard to keep track..

So I was looking through the mod descriptions and was thinking do we need SimpleRegionMarket. iConomy and Hyperconmy look to have everything covered.

Also it looks like you get more out of towny then factions.

I scrapped Factions. Instead went with a lighter xTeam mod. I basically wanted something that could have server wide teams to join as Empire or Rebel. So this gives a very basic Faction like function, without interfering with Towny. I think PVP will be disabled for everyone except for those in either faction/team. This way we have a peaceful option for casual players.


I also decided to install Heroes. With that we can setup classes, skills, leveling, and chain them however we want. So we can make people work up to becoming a Jedi or Sith. Restricting the Gold/Diamond swords and stuff that the minewars texture has as lightsabers to only those classes. There's plenty of other weapons for people to use, so I don' think that will be a big deal.
The classes can be chained like so,
Miner -> Blacksmith-> Weaponsmith
Hunter -> Warrior -> Soldier
Sort of like that. We can also use it to setup other types of classes and unlocks. Like making people level up crafting and work through different classes to unlock new items.
Like so, Crafter - Electrician -> Manufacturer, etc...
It also adds a party system to group up and share XP when killing mobs, questing and other shit.
Because of this, I removed the MagicSpells mod, as Heroes has the same things.



For the RegionMarket, I might keep it as I planned to use it to rent rooms in the server cities. There's no other easy way to do it. With that we just put a sign up and mark the room with a price/duration, and people can click to rent it.


I also found out how to add the new ores (tin, copper, emeralds, uranium, oil, etc.. ) to the worlds with TerrainControl. So I might have to crop chunks and regen a lot of the worlds. I'm trying to sort out now, which resources should be where, and how readily available. I'll try not to destroy your house Cotto, but I make no promises. lol
