First let me start off with, Sorry Cotto.. lol. I tried to save your house, but the terrain just wouldn't match up. Plus with Towny on, you would have to use that to claim land. Towny saves the default terrain and restores it when a village is removed. So the land shouldn't get totally raped and have to be regen'd ever.

Took me all week, but I finally got all the worlds redone. Added the missing resources, fine tuned each world with what spawns there (added big tree BOB files for plains and forest), and fine tuned the terrain itself of all the worlds.

Brief overview,

Corellia - Normal world with all biomes and defaultish resources.

Coruscant - Mostly plains, with forest and hills. Defaultish resources.

Tatooine - All desert and hills (all sand). Rish in gold, marble, clay. No Diamonds or redstone

Hoth - All ice and mountains, rich in diamonds. No Gold or Redstone

Mustafar - Lava and rock, rich in redstone, basalt, and more Uranium then default worlds (Corellia/Coruscant = very little Uranium to be found, but there). No Gold or Diamonds.


Next up, test out towny, fine tune the settings. Setup Heroes and fine tune. Check all settings and worldguard stuff. Then we should be good to go public with it.

Its ok i have been cheating on you with the ecocitycraft server but when you finish this one i will come back.

You whore!!!!

Put your skankness aside for a sec, and help me out with getting this going.

Honestly, I'm really liking where this is heading now, and how it's setting up. I have an idea of the travel routes possible. It all relates to how the teams, markets and everything else will line up.

With Hyperconomy, which is pretty sweet from what I've tested. We have global markets. I want to setup two global market shops. One in Coruscant, and one in Corellia. Spaceports from those cities only got to each other, and Tatooine. You can only reach Hoth and Mustafar form Tatooine. Tatooine will NOT have a global market.
This is so people will have to transport their (normally) rare minerals to the major cities to offload. Travel will cost money between the worlds. this will encourage large nations and towns to form to accomplish this.
In each of the large cities, we have specific buildings. One being a hotel. And rent those rooms for a shit load of money. The money goes to the server, so no gain for us personally, but it will be interesting to see how players and towns utilize this. Maybe setup one person to rent the suite so they have a drop point for goods between markets.
Tatooine will be a hot bed for team battles then. As it will be the main travel point form the other rare worlds.

I'm also thinking of maybe scrappign the heroes thing for now. Maybe just setup one class that has access for everything. And set it up fully later.


For now we need to build the main cities (capitals) of each world with each building it needs. I'll update later with specifics, but wanted to give an update on what I was thinking.

Just let me know what you want me to do. Also you may want to think of setting a limit to the size of the worlds.

Why and How to set a limit to the size of the worlds?

As for what we need. I need a Corellika/Coruscant sized worldguard arwea setup for Mos Eisley on Tatooine.
The echo base on Hoth and outpost on Mustafar will act as the central points there.

This will prevent griefers from bogging down the server by over expanding it.

BorderGuard
Most servers purchased from a hosting company only allow a certain amount of RAM allocated for your server. Minecraft worlds can expand exponentially, which incidentally also increases the amount of RAM required to run these servers. One of the most basic means a griefer can impact a server is by expanding the map so large that it causes lag, since the server doesn’t have enough RAM allocated to render it all properly. BorderGuard prevents this by placing a limit on the distance your players can travel.

BorderGuard isn't updated anymore, but found another, WorldBorder. It lets you make world round or square, set borders of course, with overlap so it doesn't just look cut off when you reach the edge. The landscape will continue for a bit. It also lets you prerender the worlds so when people are exploring, it doesn't bog the server down by generating the chunks from scratch.

I set the borders to rounded, and the radius to 1000. So 2000 blocks end to end. Might be a little small though in my eyes. Since you can set each world independently, I might make Coruscant and Corellia 2000 radius, Tatooine maybe 1000, and Mustafar and Hoth 500-750 since they have abundance of the rarest minerals.

You can see the worlds so far on the dynmap,


*Mustafar might not be generating properly, might have to redo it.

I have the Towny mod fully setup now. Just doing some fine tuning with it. Originally had no mob spawning in towns, but I think that defeats the point a bit. So I have it forced on. PVP will also be forced on in all Towns. Only the server cities will be safe.
I'm toying with the town pricing, but I think I have it set pretty good as it is now. Might go lower with it. Here is the section of the config file for it.
*I've bolded the more important settings.

I have no wilderness building/destroying. You can't even pick flowers in the wild. You can use switches/doors. This is needed as the Server cities are considered in the Wild. We will have to block off in WorldGuard regions any buttons/doors we don't want the public to access. Like the Main Gates on the cities and such.

I might need some help testing the rest of the stuff. Like if other people can use switches/gates/doors on other towns and such. Just to make sure the config is working.
Also need to test out how the town flag attack system will work out and if it needs to be tweaked or not.
I have my town setup just outside of Coruscant along the SW corner of the wall.


Hyperconomy test market is setup in Coruscant Palace (first floor, on right, inside the square black tile section outside Team Battle Arena). I added the custom ores to it, like silver, tin, copper, etc.. There are a lot of the IC2 and redpower type mod stuff that isn't in it, and frankly I think I might leave them out. The Main markets will be more of a commodity/essentials market. For specialty items, players can make their own shops to sell them.

This will be where players can sell their excess stuff to make money to cover town upkeep and expansion costs.
Players will start with $1000, enough to start a town and expand it a bit if they want. I suggest leaving a couple days worth of upkeep in the town bank when starting.

*Have to check whether towny can control shops, or if we have to use the Hyperconomy chest shop.


Heroes, I still need to tweak. I figured the best way would be to play it out a bit and add/alter classes as needed. Any help with ideas on this are definitely welcomed.

Tekkit 3.0.3 is released!!!

It's running MC 1.2.5 R1.3

Will be starting on the server conversion today. Getting the mods updated, adding new ones that I was waiting on the update for, etc..

Got the new server up and all the maps converted over. Seems things run a bit smoother. Mobs don't seem as jerky anymore. There is also built in support for world height, it defaults to 256 now. I will leave it as that for now, but if performance becomes an issue, I will decrease it back to 128.

A quick note on the Texture Packs. You will need to download the new MineWars texture pack for 1.2.5. I have attached it to the OP.

I went through and setup all the permissions for the default group for all the plugins. Will start working on the Mod group permissions next.
In the mean time, if you join the server, try to play as a normal player would and let me know if you run into any problems.

Also as a side note, all wilderness building will be disabled for everyone. You will have to use the Towny commands to create/join a town and claim land. If we need to build a server city/building we will have to make a region and I will assign it special perms for mods to build there.
I want it this way because Towny has a setting to regen the land when it becomes unclaimed (deleted town, failed to pay upkeep/taxes, etc..). This way we don't have to worry about resetting the server worlds at any point or manually resetting ores.

New players start with $1000, new town costs 250, 100 per extra block claim, 50 upkeep per day.
To get more money, sell resources (even dirt you can sell) at the Galactic Market Exchange inside the Senate building on Coruscant (will place another on Corellia as well, they are all linked).

I also need someone to let me know when they are on and have a town up. I need to test out the pvp, property permissions, warring and all that to make sure the settings are good. I'll probably be on all day/night today. I wan to try and get this all finalized so I can finish the server cities and buildings.

All permissions are now setup. Maybe some fine tuning will be needed as we go along, but I think I got everything setup.

I setup a special Builders perm group, that when used with a "Region Specific Permissions" mod, will grant builds rights when inside the main city areas only. This way people can still help build the server cities, but will have to use the same system as everyone else when playing in the wild. I myself am limited in the wild as well. Even as Admins or Mods, we should be forced to play the same way as everyone else. Of course we can have our own houses in the cities though. That's the perk for being a mod.

I expect everyone to gather their own resources to build in the wild and personal towns. No NEI cheating for blocks.

All server city areas are setup.
Coronet on Corellia
Galactic City on Coruscant
Mos Eisley on Tatooine
Mustafar Outpost on Mustafar
Echo Base on Hoth

All shuttles are also setup with portals to each. There are some limits and prices on some.
All travel from Corellia - Coruscant - Tatooine is free.
You can only reach Mustafar and Hoth from Tatooine.
Travel to Mustafar and Hoth costs $300.
All shuttle travel has a 30 sec cool down.

/Town spawn and /spawn both cost money and have a warmup time.

I set it up this way so people can't abuse the spawn and travel to warp to the rare mineral planets and warp home easily. If they do, it will cost a lot of money. Shuttle travel is cheaper, but takes more time.
I might adjust the cool down, and costs as needed to help balance things.


Other Notes
Beds now heal you fully. And unless you have full hunger, is the only way to heal. I want to make a hospital in each server city that will have a super heal rate when entered.


We just need to build whatever buildings are needed in the server cities and we can go public.

Tatooine has the spaceport, but needs other buildings.
Coruscant and Tatooine need hospital type buildings. I think Hoth and Mustafar we leave without one. Should be harder on those planets.
Hoth needs a rental unit area in the base. Sorta like the rooms on Mustafar. I have setup the simple region market to rent rooms, and will do the same for each planet. This way a few people can just rent a room for storage since resources for building are scarce.


Before we go fully public and advertise server. We need to have a griefing test session. Save the worlds and backup right before hand, switch ourselves to Default Citizens group and see if we can break shit.

OK correction, NOW all shuttles are setup. I forgot Tat to Hoth shuttle. I hollowed out the rebel cruiser on Hoth and made that the shuttle. Also thinking of adding rental bunks in there as well since there is so much room.

Had ran into a problem with Buildcraft, IC2 and RedPower and towny. The machines weren't breaking blocks. Added permissions for them so they should be working. Could use someone's help in testing on their own town plots to make sure though.

Other than testing shit out, just need to finish decorative and city server buildings if anyone wants to help out. Once that's done I think we're good to go.

Had a storm come through and knocked out the power. Waited for it to pass to restart server. It's going up now, hopefully with no problems.

Man talk about bad luck I had finished the spaceports with the yt-1300 and steam had some stuff missing. So I have to redo the port now. We need to invest in a UPS for the server.

Update: I rebuilt it and just placed a lambda shuttle there. The spaceport just need land protection ,an elevator, and portal to main city
