Yes, Bin, I had you already down mentally for "would love a rail station plskthxbai".

Beacons

Now ignore bedrock above them when determining a clear view to the sky.

MC-3416 – Player location marker invisible on map (wrong Z-Order). One-line fix included.

No, MC-3416 is referring to in-game maps (the item you craft with compass and paper).

I'm updating the server shortly.

The server is now on version 1.8.2.

Bugfixes mostly, but apparently includes fixes for hopper lag, which may help your place a bit sirlynchmob

Yo wait dark is the server reboots messed up?

It doesnt restart anymore

Woops, my bad, forgot to update the restart script. It was still checking for 1.8.1 which wasn't running, so 1.8.2 just happily continued running.

It just means you had uninterrupted play for a while. Now it's back to restarting every 2 hours :-P

I've now updated the server to 1.8.3. (and remembered to edit the restart script too)

not sure the restart script is working properly. I think there were at least 5 "resets" that I know of that didn't actually restart the server.

Has someone claimed a bit around -650/64/1510?

There's a crafting bench and a furnace here, and a small square in the mountain hollowed out except a 2x2 column in the middle, but nothing else.

Hey darkkinit, The server hasn't reset in 2 days now, can you check to make sure the backups are being done? I don't mind if the server doesn't reset every two hours, but losing 2 days of digging would really suck.

AFK Party!

Heh, seems that although I remembered to update the restart script, I typo'd in it. The server restarts should work now. However, if the server's been running for two days without problems, it seems we've come a long way from the frequent crashes we used to get.

The backups are a completely separate process and occur not only independent of the Minecraft version, but also run even if the Minecraft server is not running (e.g. crashed etc). But I've checked, and yes, they're still running

Could this see a relaxation of the 2 hour reset regime?

Hmmm.

After Minecraft stopped crashing so much, one of the other remaining reasons I kept the two hour restarts was to remind people that the real world still exists and they should attend to real life things like eating food/going to the toilet/attending to children/doing homework/etc (delete as necessary).

If this method is generally frowned upon, I may be willing to extend the restart period to twelve hours in exchange for a subtle reminder of the real passage of time. How about something like this once an hour (but on the hour) instead of the restarts?:



I apologise for missing off any particular timezone, but I think those five there cover our main player base (correct me if I'm wrong?)

Was that a reminder for us or you?

Heh, well I've put it in place for now. Server restarts on the Dakka server are now every 12 hours at 12:40 GMT and 00:40 GMT.

The time message is every hour. With a randomised teasing line after. This is a trial, if it doesn't cause any issues, it stays in place. If the messages are annoying or too repetitive they can be adjusted.

Let me know if the times are ever wrong too.

ON march 2nd. After te 9:38 PM EST Restart.

I will be hosting a Hunger Games match in my lands

I'll be putting out numerous chest marked with signs "Hungry Brah?" and thing s of that sort. The will be scattered throughout my above ground and limited below ground areas.

The game will start at 10 PM EST Combat logging and things of that nature will be BANNED. If you have gear you'd like to see in the chests contact lordbean123 on the server. Dark if you don't approve and say no well... Darn

Either I will or if he can I'd ask Darkinnit to mediate and place the chests. Mostly cause it would be unfair for me to know all the locations and gear given. And I want to play along side everyone else.

Each player will have 3-5 respawns to make it last a bit.

I think that's everything.

Be there!

I'm ok with this, you've set a time, date and area for PvP, with advance warning, so it's all cool. (i.e. people can't claim ignorance of wandering into the area and getting hurt).

I had to google this, so quoting it for others who also aren't aware:

Combat logging is when you're in combat with someone and they log off while you're fighting them.

I can't guarantee yet I'll be around then, but if I am, I'll be happy to help out.

Thats disappointing i though it was fighting with wooden logs :(

basically what I ask Dark, is that YOU hide the chests. It unfair for me to have prior knowledge of Locations and contents. I'll already have the home court advantage. If you could PM a time I can give you a tour of the PVP zone I had planned out

I'm also on after the 938 Resart most nights if you want to reach me then. It'd just be late in the night for you to do so

I would like to take part but thats 3AM in the UK...
That works out even later for the guys in Holland of which there are quite a few.
Its an awesome idea but I think time/dates need rethinking if you want more players.

3am UK, 4am for most of mainland Europe, 5am for Eastern Europe. Australia, Central/Eastern Asia, and most of West-Coat/Central America should be fine; Europe and Africa is pretty much a no-go, and West-Asia might struggle.

Also, bearing in mind that the 2nd of March is a Monday, I'm not sure how many East-Coast US people will be able to be up at 10pm to play if there's school or work the next morning.

I might be easier to have it on the 28th February/1st of March weekend just before it, or the following 6th/7th of March weekend, with as much balance in the timing as possible.

Well I work weekends, so Monday morning would be ok for me (I regularly stay up past stupid o'clock) but not Saturday or Sunday.

Well I can't really play earlier in the day. I just don't normally get the chance

I can see if I could ahold of a earlier time for future games, but for this round of Hunger games (thinking on making this a semi regular thing) I'm keeping this time and date.

Fear not! If you are unable to show there shall be another chance!

Hello, I recently went public with a huge 40k custom modpack and server. I had to do a lot of custom programming to add everything I wanted, but it's come together pretty well. We are using 1.7.10 because most modders drew a line in the sand there, seeing as how vanilla updates are kind of small compared to what mods can do.

Anyway, here is the link for the server post: http://forums.technicpack.net/topic/119210-1710warhammer-40k-blood-iron-pvp-survival60wh40k-blood-iron-pack/

And here is the link for the pack itself: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/wh40k-blood-iron-pack.558927

Right now the only people really playing are veterans from a server I previously ran. We run the pack through technic because it makes installing/updating extremely easy.

The server is pretty intense as well. Lots of custom plugin work and stuff to get our war system set up.

I really hope you guys will check it out. The pack and custom mods took months to make and I put a lot of attention into the details. Let me know if you need help or just want to know more about the server.

Yo Dark

If you can give me a hand,

Iv been collecting slime mobs of the bigger size for a while now and had like 5 of them named and ready to go for a project, but for some reason i find nearly all of them hurt into the smaller size.

but i dont see where they could of been suffocating on my track

Can you see if some one didnt kill them?

also seems to be MASSIVE lag around the area :/

Today march 2nd at 9:40 EST. Hunger games! Who'll be there?

For those who don't know where it is

Oh feth. Forgot about this. Just finished the 12 hour factory night shift from hell, so all I wanna do is watch walking dead then sleep for 24 hours.

24 hours? Excessive perhaps?


So here's how it'll go down
We'll all head to my nether portal. I've set up some chests for people to store their normal stuff in. After that we'll head to the courtyard of my castle and have a countdown

You underestimate how much pain I'm in right now.

And exactly 24 hours after finishing my shift I'm starting a new job at 7am on Tuesday.

All I wanna do I today is eat ham and sleep.

Gangstamuffin and I were chatting the other day and decided to reduce the amount of stone structures between the iron farm and Lordbeans lava shop. While also trying to make it look less cluttered.

I have closed the iron farm temporarily til I get it redesigned,

I reworked the furnace today, I moved it away from the armor house 2 spaces as well, but I think it needs a few more touches.

Who owns the stone generator? Can you relocated it closer to the cobble generator so it's in range of the beacon? Maybe a joint stone/cobble generator?
