Haha looked like a lot of fun throwing up those melon slices :tard:

Yep it was pretty fun. I was just spamming the drop button and throwing them all over the place :D

It was a very fun night, I have all of it recorded too :) I wish I had some headphones so then I could go on Mic without making a echo...

Highlight: Wil in a minecraft and breaking each other's boats :tard:

Happy days. :D I'm guessing only good will come of our opening the tomb of ancient evil.

Who was that laughing?

Pro tip: Use /back if you get lost or stuck

The server seems to have crashed or something.

e: and as soon as I post this it is back up.

e2: If someone could come along and fix the Stargates, that’d be swell. Sincerely, someone trapped in Terra Nova.

I'll give the server a hard reboot when Im home in a few hours. Maybe install a new bukkit build if there is one.

Sorry about the instability, but its an experimental build afterall. Without it wed still be stuck in 1.8. Sit tight.

Or… without Bukkit… :fuzblink:

Without Bukkit we wouldn't have a lot of the nifty stuff we currently have.

Yeah… I know… :dodgy:

Just checked out why all the weird things have been happening on our server but aside from a shitload of errors in the logs I can't really find anything. But it's obvious that something has completely shat itself. Permissions don't work at all anymore, the biome for the new world has suddenly changed to snow, stargates stopped working.

I'm going to take a good look into it tommorow.

Edit: Please don't build anything of value until further notice. I may have to rely in a backup to get things working again.

Its called Winter. :tard:

No, it's climate change. We are paying for all our construction and industry.

The entire ocean has frozen!!! Seriously I have no clue what happened with the biome there, weirdest thing ever. The ice was spreading like a virus.

My orbiting freeze-ray is working excellently, mwahahahaha!

Thank you AlexFili for the server donation :)

It’s not just snow; I had a patch near my base change from forest to swamp.

It seems biomes around Exodus are changing to swampland. Lots of the water in the base seems to be effected. Everyone should go an look at the river, it's changing colour.

Truly we are mining in the end of days.

It's either the evil we unleashed on the world, or an ice age is kicking in.

Actually all the server crashes as of late have corrupted some of the data for the generated worlds. Biomes are based on the seed the world is generated with, but the corruption caused the seed for the worlds to change and thus the biomes. I managed to change the new world back to it's original seed so weather should be back to normal there. Just trying to find the original seed for our old world now.

Dripik you wouldn't happen to have the very first seed you used when generating the old world? Or one of the earliest save files?

I have it!

-2660950596850204536

I have it, it's -2660950596850204536

However since world generation has updated twice since that world was created, that seed won't generate the same biomes again. But perhaps that doesn't matter so much since we aren't building anything new in the old world anymore, only continuing existing projects such as RF, parts of Exoddus and maybe 2Fort.

EDIT: Wil beat me to it. :P

Should it matter that world generation has updated? World generation changed with 1.8, but our original biomes were apparently preserved on the server with just the world seed.

I changed the seed to what it was before it was corrupted (I think) but so far things don't seem to have changed in Exoddus. Might be that water and grass just don't update back or something.

I did fix the old Nether.

Edit: I changed the old world to it's original seed. In singleplayer it didn't generate anything close to what Genesis was but the biomes seem to be okay now, at least for Exoddus. Water and grass are back to normal.

Edit2: And permissions are working again as well! That officially solves everything on my to do list.

Yay! Good work. :) I wonder why the server did what it did, though.

I think that the instability of the previous Bukkit versions caused the server to crash so much that something got corrupted here and there. It seems to be much more stable now though and a RB for Bukkit should be out soon.

Also, the Technic mod is now available for multiplayer as well and I'm seriously thinking about installing it.

The technic mod looks like fun - Is it possible to have different worlds that have different mods with Bukkit, for those who want to play without mods?

Oh yeah, OP doesn't work for me yet (I wouldn't mind, just the future of the RF project sort of depends on it now). I noticed that you spelled my name with a capital "D" when setting permissions when my Minecraft name is spelled with a lower case "d" (thanks to auto form filling and a mis-click on my part). Maybe that's why it doesn't recognise me?

No, I changed the way admins get their powers so I can define exactly what you can and can't do (as opposed to being full op, with all server breaking commands at your disposal). I just need you to be online so I can add you to the right group.

As for creating a clean world for that mod, I've been wondering about that myself and that's something I'd have to look into. If it's possible I'll certainly do it that way.

Fair enough - So long as I get to keep the ability to switch between creative and survival mode.

That strikes me as being totally and utterly unnecessary in our situation. Are any of us going to break the server? It's not like the forums where we have a leader and a chain of command. Why should any of us Ops be more or less powerful than any other?

Not on purpose. It's just a precaution more than anything. There are a whole lot of commands on the server and more are added with each plugin. It's just a way of putting the 'dangerous' commands under lock and key. You guys still have all the powers you're used to, it's nothing you'll even notice on the surface.

To be clear, I didn't *just* put this in. It's been like this for almost two weeks now, so no worries.

Is this why I've been having trouble creating 500-block-radius explosions using the /nuke command?

Case in point.

So are the stargates working again now? I kind of need to take a trip back to Genesis.

They are working, I confirm that.

Oh, the Technic pack... I've tried IndustrialCraft before. It was cool in the beginning, having all sorts of gadgets in order to make more complex gadgets, but it got overwhelming in the end. I haven't tried any of the other mods, I've only seen video footage, but being able to cut up blocks into smaller pieces sounds exciting, and the mod that gives you fruit trees and an insane amount of food items is a cool idea, even though it just adds to the already existing function of eating and farming.

Aww, thank you for the mention. It's just that I really respect the admins and the stability of the server. Honestly everyone here is very close to me and just having a community to call my home is good enough for me. Besides, the cash was well worth it for the melon fighting and the YouTube video alone.

The Technic pack is very cool. I could imagine us doing amazing things with it. In SSP it is very daunting, but with the sheer amount of time we spend playing minecraft we could manage it in multiplayer.
