Server Updated to MC 1.4.5

It's that time of year again, my apologies for the delay, I realize that this update could have been done quicker.
Anyway its here now.

Plugin Changes:

~ mcMMO
Temporarily removed because its not properly updated yet, so instead of having this plugin holding us back, we cut it out until a new version is out, which should not take too long.

If things don't work as expected aside from what we said in this post, let us know so we can fix it.

Server Updated to MC 1.4.2

Not too long after the official release, we are up to date, sort of ...
Mostly things should work as normal but as time goes plugins die and needs to be replaced, while other plugins suffer from a lazy development crew.
This update brings a few noticeable changes to our server.


Plugin Changes:

~ mcMMO
Temporarily removed because its not properly updated yet, so instead of having this plugin holding us back, we cut it out until a new version is out, which should not take too long.

 - iConomy
Removed because its been out of date for a very long time. Look below for the replacement plugin

+ BOSEconomy
This is the replacement plugin for the good old iConomy we've been using now for ages. its slightly more complex with more functionality than iConomy and we haven't looked too much into what it can do yet, but the basic functionality should be there, for most players the biggest change will be the new commands.
Hit /econ help for more information or visit their site here: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/boseconomy/

 - FalseBook
Removed because its been out of date for a very long time. It will not be updated any more and we have to move on. look below for the replacement plugin.

+ CraftBook
Replacement plugin for Falsebook, its pretty much the same. but its possible some or all old falsebook ic's have to be remade. This may also be the case with lifts, gates and other falsebook accessories.  Sorry about this happening but thats what happens when plugins die, we are lucky though that the basic syntax is mostly the same, so getting stuff working again should be possible without too much hassle. Look at their IC-wiki here: http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/CraftBook/Integrated_circuits


If things doesn't work as expected aside from what we said in this post, let us know so we can fix it.

Short Video

I have made a short video on the server which is just showing a few builds of the market, the pillars and ironmen just to attract a few players, even though the video is quite bad it will still get a few people along to the server hopefully. More videos will probably come soon about the server and we would also like you to join in on making these and uploading them to our own channels for help on building the community up.

Here is the video i have made it's short only 1 minute.

Normal wear and tear of both me and my gear

Whats happening when you are ready for a relaxed Friday afternoon.
Get something nice to drink, lean back and enjoy the internet at its best. As my job at home is to do as little as humanly possible, I'm a good relaxer and know how to be seated comfortably. After all this is what I've been doing for the past few years.
Imagine my surprise when the world I know suddenly falls apart, my old chair breaks in the weld, first I fall backwards, and somehow I got stuck under the desk for a few seconds with both legs jammed between the chair and the desk. Of course my cat like agility comes in handy in such scenarios.

I guess things could have gone worse, and I had been looking for an excuse to get a new and better chair for a while now.


Have a nice weekend everyone!

Server updated to MC 1.3.2

Its that time of year again, the Minecraft team spends an awful long time making some minor changes to MC and makes us have to go through the trouble of waiting and updating what we had.

Rant aside, the server is now updated with the latest CraftBukkit beta build (1.3.2-R0.1)

Plugin Changes:

~ TrainCarts
Temporarily removed because its not properly updated yet, so instead of having this plugin holding us back, we cut it out until a new version is out, which should not take too long.

~ ButtonPromote
Temporarily removed because its not properly updated yet. This is the plugin we use in the promotion hall, and without this plugin you will not be able to promote yourself.
Until the plugin is updated and reinstalled on our server you will have to go through an admin to get your promotion, hopefully we will have the old system back on its feet in not too long.

- ItemDisplay
Removed as its kind of pointless, not much used and with a future MC update there will be a better alternative to displaying items than this plugin offers.

- SimpleMail
Removed because its been buggy, not well maintained and not much used. its possible we can add a different mail plugin later if more than one person requests it.

Aliens are coming!!!


Aliens are coming.... or are they already here? ...

Is that a landing... or a crash landing? ...

Did he finally decided to take his plane inside? ...

It obviously doesn't fit through the stair way though...

What will Alien do now and next? ...

Is it probing time? ... or what time is it? ...

He sure has his probing axe in hand...

Seeing is believing... and you saw it, he does fly or does he not? ...

It may not be a space ship that he is flying...

But he had to start from somewhere, right? ...

It is no bird? it is no UFO? it is just a very dirty plane...

But really who is flying it is the important part...

Are they here? or are they not? ...

Think ....


Think again...





Think fast...





Then think again...




And after that...





Think a little more...





Just Think...

Temporary Server Shutdown

Server Downtime - Monday 6/8 to Monday 13/8

Since I will be gone for a few days and the activity is so low these days, the server will be shut down while I'm away.

So from Monday 6/8 to Monday 13/8 everyone needs a new hobby.

Regarding the update to MC 1.3, obviously that wont happen during the next week, but somewhat later.
The Bukkit team have not released any recommended build yet so its still premature.





Something to spend some time on while the server is down:

Bunny Invation II

Excellent minigame to get rid of those hours and days.

Dad 'n Me

Another nice minigame

Kids with Problems

Its always nice to get visitors like this, it lightens the mood in a very pleasing way, sadly for this guest he did not get any free items, and he failed in his mission to destroy chiink.

This is one of the risks we are involved with as we do our best to protect the server from harm:




New Plugins, mcMMO and ItemDisplay



+ mcMMO

Some long description should be here, instead I will link to the BukkitDev and mcMMO Wiki.
http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/mcmmo/
http://mcmmo.wikia.com/wiki/McMMO_Wiki

  • /[skillname]     Displays information on a specific skill. 
Ex. "/mining" displays general information regarding the mining skill, including the current Double Drop proc rate. 

  • /mctop                      Shows the top 10 people with the highest power level on your server. 
  • /mctop [skillname]     Shows the top 10 people with the highest level in the specified skill on your server. 
  • /mcability                  Toggles whether or not you can activate abilities with right click.

  • /party password (password)     Applies a password to your party. Only works for party leader.

Permissions:

This is what will separate the usergroups further than just the name, every rank above normal members got a small set of skills they can improve in, some ranks got more skills than others so choose carefully.

Everyone above normal members can use this plugin.

Here is the list of ranks with the skill set they each have:

There is made no effort to balance out the ranks, they all have their pros and cons, some might be more attractive than others so choose wisely.

  Builder:

Woodcutting
Excavation

  Lumberjack:

Woodcutting
Acrobatics
Unarmed

  Crafter:

+ ItemDisplay

Trying out this new plugin to see how people like it. Its simply a plugin to display items that are not placeable blocks in the game, Items can be displayed on any block and should stay there without fading away over time.
Its set to take away the original block when you create the display, and give you back the block when/if the display is deleted.

A known bug seems to be that inappropriate server shut downs can in some cases make the item vanish, so keep that in mind.
If this is not sorted out soon, or turns out to be a hassle for us I might remove the plugin.
Inappropriate shut downs are very rare though.

Commands:

• /itemd- turn on/off display creation
• /itemd help - for more information.

To delete a display, make sure you are in display creation mode, by typing /itemd. Then hold Shift and left click on the display to delete.

Permissions:

Everyone above normal members can use this plugin.

New Plugin

+ SimpleMail

We had a mail plugin on the server way back, it was not very popular and I don't think many used it. This was a long time ago and times may have changed.

For those who want it, we now got a simple mail system so you can reach and message offline players.

Your inbox can store 6 mails, and the mails will stay there for 14 days. If the mail is not read within the 14 days, it will be deleted.

Commands:

• /Mail - Main Menu
• /inbox - Check your inbox
• /sendmail <player> <message> - Send mail
• /readmail <id> - Read one of your messages
• /delmail <id> - Delete on of your messages

Permissions:

All players can use this plugin, guests and members.

Server Back Where it Belongs

Enough time has passed and the temporary MC host did not turn out as a great investment being very unstable.

We are now back to what we had before, which means the server address is the same as it was before.

ourmcserver.dyndns.org


Downtime!

We are heading back to our old host, which means a couple of hours maybe more of downtime, so relax don't lose your marbles, hold on to your pants and find something useful to do. have fun



!
CAUTION
WORK IN PROGRESS!
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED
AND WE ALSO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT WE'RE DOING

fr9.mooshroom.net:25657

Server is down

Server is down, we are moving to a rented server, this may take around an hour maybe more, so please hold on to your pants and do something else while the server is down and please don't go crazy without minecraft.

The Wind Mill Project


I was lost, I went bored,
I almost gave up Minecraft,
I went really busy,
I wasn't giving up easy,
I wanted to build big,
I wanted to help,
I needed some help,
I came back, I couldn't stop,
I build & I build, I won't stop,
That's what I love,
That's what I'll do,
I'll keep on building.

Server is Back

After a long talk with my ISP, I can once again use my own router.
So the server is back up and running as before, sorry about the downtime guys, I hope the extra free time everyone had was spent on something useful and productive.

ISP and Router Trouble

I got a new router/modem from the ISP which was a terrible replacement and does not function very well. so until that is fixed, the DDNS-service will not function, this means that you can only log in with the IP address.
Not at all ideal as I got a dynamic IP.

Until I get this sorted out, all I can do is posting the current IP here, and keep in mind that this IP can and will change from time to time, so check here if it doesn't work or try to contact me if I missed a IP change or forgot to update it here.

EDIT:
Forget this, port forwarding is out of the question so no direct IP connection either.

Auction Plugin Replaced

Although the old auction plugin (iAuction) did work well at times, we need a more permanent solution that doesn't break each time someone farts or annoys it in some way. Since we got the plugin a while back its probably been defective 50% of the time, which is bad.

iAuction is now long gone on our server and we are testing out CraftBay, So far it seems like a worthy replacement.


The commands are slightly different but should be easier to remember

/auc ?                                                           Get help
/auc info                                                       Display information about the current auction
/bid [amount]                                                Shortcut for /auction bid
/auc start <item> <amount> [starting price]   Auction off an item
/auc hand [amount] [starting price]                Auction off the item in your hand
/auc end [delay]                                           End the current auction
/auc ignore                                                   Ignore broadcasts
/auc listen                                                    Receive broadcasts

Permissions should be the same as before.
Members can bid on auctions
Any bought rank and up can start auctions


The plugin work in a different way than iAuction, perhaps for the better?

Let's look at an example of a group of people where everyone has placed their bids.

lookapig5 100coins
chiink 300coins
OCALIEN 1000coins 


The obvious winner is OCALIEN, because his bid is the highest. If the auction ended at this moment, he would receive the item and his bank account would be debited the 300coins (plus 5 coins which is the minimum bid) necessary to beat the second placed. The clue about this is that his bid will be hidden from other players; all they get to see at this moment are the 305coins OCALIEN is currently winning for and they could try to overbid. Now this happens:

lookapig5 bids 700coins 

In an attempt to win the auction, lookapig5 raises. He does not know that more than 1000coins would be necessary to accomplish this, so he fails. All that changes is that OCALIEN's price will rise up to 705coins, which is ok since he has already agreed to pay up to 1000coins. Next up:

chiink bids 1000coins 

OCALIEN and chiink are now on the same amount, but OCALIEN was there first, so he continues to win for 1000coins.

This system should make sniping at the end harder.

Dynamic Map Disabled

Its been some performance issues around the server lately, I decided to disable the dynamic map plugin now for some days in order to get further with the troubleshooting process. If the dynamic map is the cause of the extra load, which is very likely I have to say, I'm not sure what we will do, but it most certainly cant stay like this.
Surely if it came down to having either no server and no map, or having a server without a map, I'd say the choice is pretty easy, but it doesn't have to be just these two options.

Good News for the Gamblers

New addition to the new promotion area and the new ranking system, some people feel like the sponge price is a bit high and perhaps unreachable? It should be fairly easy to gather the cash for a sponge or two once settled on the server.
If you feel like a lucky person, or know you are skilled gambler, you can now test your luck in the new sponge slot machine inside the promotion hall.
It works similarly to the promotion rooms, you throw in a sponge and wait for something to return.

The chances should be something like this:
50% chance of loosing the sponge.
50% chance of winning either 1, 2 or 3 sponges.

Sponges should be worth alot of money, and although its not possible to sell them directly to the server shops, it should be possible to get a good price by trading with other members.

Keep in mind that its possible you loose everything you throw in and there will be no returns, as that takes away the fun of gambling.

Good Luck.

Broken laptop

My laptop has broke, think its overheated so i might not be on much, probably untill i get a new computer or i can use another one now and then :( chiink.

New Ranking System

All builders and vip's have been placed in the member group. Everyone from the vip group will get a free sponge.

It's that time of year again, after a lot of discussions, going back and forth, including a few breaks, the new ranks you all have been waiting for are ready.
Its not just new ranks, the way you get promoted is different as well leaving most of it in your hands. You pay for the rank you want, except the staff ranks which is still managed by the admins.

Most of the ranks have the same permissions at this time. its not that much we can do to separate so many ranks in a decent functional way without annoying people with limitations everywhere. So after passing the quiz and becoming a member here on the server, you will have a decent set of permissions. after that all the ranks is like the old vip rank, with a variation in the name-tags. Which is all this change is really, the possibility to get a few new tags in front of your name.

Its created a promotion hall near spawn where you purchase the rank you wish. The currency in this room is Sponges, most ranks cost one sponge and some others cost more than one sponge up to six sponges which is the most expensive rank at this point.

In order to acquire these rare sponges, we have set up a sponge shop inside this promotion hall.
Sponges can not be bought at the market.

Each sponge cost 100,000 coins, this might seem steep, but its a choice you will have to make.





After you have decided what rank you wish to purchase, you need to find the right room inside the promotion hall. Each room have an entrance and a payment hole, you throw your sponge into this hole where the promotion dwarfs will process your request and if accepted, open the door for you to enter the appropriate promotion room. Inside here you will find one button, and one exit door.
You simply press this button once, and the exit will open for you leave the room as a completely new person.

Promotion Hall Warp = promotion
Warning: When spending more then one sponge on a promotion, Please throw in your sponges into the payment hole one sponge at a time, and wait at least 2 seconds between each sponge throw.

With the new ranks we have added the option to /stack all members and up can use this command, what it does is that it stacks up all your inventory even those items that can't be stacked normally like signs, cakes, minecarts etc.

Live Map

Since Cartograph G, the map rendering software we used is outdated and we couldn't find any other alternative to render maps also rendering maps took too much time to render which was too much for lazy us, so for the curious minded and for the ever demanding ones we have added Live Map via Dynmap plugin. Read all about the Dynmap plugin here

And the Live Map can be accessed here

Server Updated to MC 1.2.5

Unlike previous Minecraft updates this was not as urgent as they actually had some backwards compatibility in mind, I really liked this as it doesn't put so much pressure on everyone to rush the updates, everyone had a great time while waiting for things to get ready, and here we are.
Our server is running the latest Bukkit reccomended build, CraftBukkit 1.2.5-R1.0 (#2149)

Its been some rumors about a new ranking system and that is still in development, this update had to come before we made the new ranks. This will come slightly later as its still some work to be done around it.

There is some changes in the plugin list:


+ xSigns
Re-added this plugin that we lost a while ago, the author started updating this again which is great news, its simply redstone toggleable signs. I am glad to have this back, although very few actually used it.
Read their informational forum post for some info: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/mech-xsigns

+ ButtonPromote
New plugin we intended to use with a new promotion and ranking system, this is in working order at the moment and will probably be used later. We will make a new post when that time is here.

Minecraft update again

Minecraft will update again tomorrow on Wednesday April 4, at 15:00 CEST to version 1.2.5.
This is no prediction it will happen for sure,
Sometime that day while starting to play Minecraft you will get this option which will ask you the same stupid question again to update or not to be updated

New update available
Would you like to update?
[Yes] or [Not now]

Tempting it might be very but our beloved Minecrafters are advised not to update in order to play on our minecraft server, we won't be able to upgrade until we have all updated plug-ins available and that of course might take a week or so.

And of course it is not the end of the world if you do update and receive this message


Disconnected by Server
Outdated server!
Back to title screen

All you will require to do is take a few painful steps to downgrade your client in order to play again on Our Minecraft Server, just follow the downgrade tutorial or download the downgraded minecraft.jar from the download section to the right ---> if you wish to have some extra features you can also download the modded minecraft.jar from the download section too.

Happy Birthday Pig and the Worlds Autists

Today we celebrate World Autism Awareness Day.
Every year, autism organizations around the world celebrate the day with unique fundraising and
awareness-raising events.

We will not host any fundraisers but feel free to visit their website for more information about autism.
http://www.autismspeaks.org/



A huge coincidence is the fact that our dear member, lookapig5 got one year older the same day as autism awareness day. We are all very happy for you and wish you a great day with alot of cakes, candy and fun.

Server is Updated to MC 1.2.4

The server is finally updated to the latest version of Bukkit,  RB 1.2.4-R1.0 (#2126). Of course now that we got here, they are close to releasing MC 1.2.5 ....

Rant aside, here is some changes:

+ TrainCarts
New plugin to replace the lost functions from the old MinecartMania, its added for testing purposes, if we like it and things work as we want them to, we will most likely keep this.
Don't get too attached to this plugin just yet, but feel free to test it.
All permissions are given to the Vip group.
Read their Wiki for more information: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Bukkit/TrainCarts

~ Replaced Log with BlockLog
Due to certain problems with the old Log plugin, we saw the need for some changes, its not a whole lot of plugins that im happy with in this area, but I found a working replacement so thats a lot better than the old one that didn't work.
Its important to remember while checking blocks with this new plugin that the logs are new, for older problems we still have the old logs to look at, but that can't be done via commands in-game.
To use this plugin, you have to type /blwand to activate the log wand, then use a stick just like the old plugin.


- Citizens
Since it was not working properly, we decided to leave it out of this update, this is only a temporary solution and we will install Citizens 2.0 when its ready, which should be soon.

And Minecraft updates again

Minecraft is updated to 1.2.4 to fix some bugs and issues.




New update available

Would you like to update?
Yes or Not now

It is hard to resist clicking the Yes button but it is quite easy to click the Not now button too.

You can play on Our Minecraft Server without updating so please do not update and if you have updated go to our Minecraft Downgrade Tutorial page and download the 1.2.3 or 1.2 minecraft.jar. The downgrading is very easy to do you can follow the easy steps as guided in the tutorial. you can also download the 1.2 minecraft.jar from our download section on the left which works fine on any 1.2.* server including 1.2.3 of course. any of you wanting to downgrade your server to 1.2 you can find the 1.2 minecraft_server.jar here.

Server is Back!!

After a few dozen hurdles and a lot of frustrating fixing we have managed to resurrect the server, for the curious mind here is a detailed story of what actually happened.

It started crashing ever since we updated (unstable Bukkit builds)
Windows 7 didn’t want to start and asked for a restore so we did and it restored back to a year ago. (Old HDD with old not working windows)

We lost all our server files they were nowhere to be found, it seemed like windows restore deleted the files (PC was booting from the HDD instead of the SSD)
Tried to undo the restore process, with no luck
Went to the other option to run a data recovery and while we were about to start the data recovery we found all the files on the drive as they were untouched

Fixed up a few things here and there, the server was back on to crash
This time around it wouldn’t even detect the drives
Replaced the wires and brought the server up only to crash again
Upon checking the drive cables again the server PC won’t even give display. (HDMI cable was loose)
Ditched the server PC to run the server from the other PC, worked fine for an hour and then crashed

Finally found what was really wrong, it was the SSD drive that kept messing up
Discarded the SSD, the server runs from the old HDD with the old restored windows 7 on the server PC
Hopefully there won't be any more complications any time soon.

Thanks for being patient it might not have been easy for most of us to pass our precious time without our playground but I hope you all survived one day without it, same goes for RobinR who thankfully continue to exist after trying to repair the server wasting his whole day.

Some Adjustments

After some thinking we saw the "need" for some changes to the permission system and the group hierarchy on the server.
Most of us knew the old one I believe so ill skip that and introduce the new system to you guys, its already in working order on the server. This is the first draft so its possible we will make some further changes to this as time goes by.

Group List:

Guest -> Quiz ->  Member -> Builder -> Vip  -> jr.mod -> Moderator -> Admin


Group Information:

Guest:
This is the default user group where everyone is placed after the first time logging in to our server, not much to scream after here as they only got the basic permissions making it possible to look around and chat.
Quiz:
The Group for people about to take the server quiz in order to become a member, the only difference between guests and quizzers is the ability to interact with buttons and levers.
Member:
When someone pass the server quiz and are accepted as a member on the server, this is where they go. The most noticeable change over the previous groups would be the building permissions.
Builder:
When someone have been playing on our server for some time without giving us up and leaving us for some other server, they get promoted to the builder group. I should also say that building something is a requirement, preferably not a cubic pile of either cobble or dirt.
Vip:
For those who proves to be someone sticking with our server for some time, the permanent members of our server. A change here is the disabled hunger bar.
Junior Moderator:
Members showing a genuine interest in whats best for the surroundings and other players. The best way to get here is showing signs of maturity and as always following the rules. Using the petition system to report incidents and violations is always appreciated. The junior moderators job is checking up on things, helping people and making sure things are alright.
Moderator:
Stays the same as before, the iron fists of law and order.
Admin:
Stays the same as before, in charge of the technical stuff and the decision making on the server.

Server is Updated to MC 1.2.3

Its that time of year, we caught up with Mojang's silly updates after about two weeks of waiting.
As usual the plugins we use is the main reason for the long wait. we are using many plugins we depend on, that we can't live without.

There might be some uninteresting news with the 1.2 MC update that people care about.
With the server there is some changes due to plugin developers loosing interest in their work, or whatever reason they might have, we are the ones suffering the consequences when they don't provide us with the free updates that we need for our free plugins.
Thats how things work.
However, when something dies there is usually something new paving its way, in some dark moist basement, so its not the end of the world yet. I expect that with time, we will see new plugins that replace what we lost today.

The Plugin-status changed a little, here's how the update affected us:

MinecartMania (removed)
This is the plugin we used for stations, efficient and simple transport, item organizing and that stuff.

XSigns (removed)
Redstone toggleable signs, not too commonly used on the server though.

iAuction (not updated yet)
The auction plugin we use, we will survive a few days without this, I expect it to be updated later.

QuickSign (not updated yet)
A plugin to edit signs without removing them, also support colored text and editing more than one sign simultaneously. Not too commonly used either (I believe?) but will most likely be updated later.

With most plugins still working as before I will give it some time, see what changes and try to find replacements for those not working, this might take a while.

We are currently running CraftBukkit 1.2.3-R0.2 (#2060). This is a beta build and might contain bugs. This is also unfortunately the case with many of the plugins.

Take Care!

Server is Back!

After some cleaning and painful hours screwing screws, I managed to get the pieces back together in working order.
Server is up and running again. Sorry about the downtime guys, I sure hope everyone got past these hours alive.

For those who's interested in these things, I got a picture of the result and how the server looks at the moment.

It doesn't look all that pretty and not at all as I wanted it to be, but have in mind that this case that I switched to now, is a temporary change and I will have to switch cases again, once I get around to buying a new one.

Scheduled Server Downtime

I will be doing some work with the server Sunday, march 4th.
The job is moving the server hardware over to a different computer case, simple job but could take some time with cleaning and careful alignment of cables.

I'll try to do this between 10:00 and 15:00 gmt-0, not sure yet exactly when it will happen as it depends on when I get out of bed, mood and energy levels.

Have in mind that this does not mean the server gets updated. it will still be running MC 1.1 for some time.
Bukkit do have dev. builds with MC 1.2 support at this time but its not very mature and is probably filled with bugs of all kinds. Also we depend on a good list of plugins that also needs to be updated before we can do anything.
