UPDATE: The Tekkit server is dead. You may be interested in the FTB Ultimate server instead

I've made a Tekkit server available for all those currently whitelisted on the Dakka Minecraft Server.

UPDATE: The address is now tekkit.darkinnit.com:25575
(in a Technic Launcher set to Tekkit)

Requirements
You need the Technic Launcher to play. When you run it, set it to "Tekkit" (rather than "Technic") in the top left hand corner of the launcher, before logging in.

Whitelist
I'm just going to have it share the Dakka whitelist. If you're whitelisted for the Dakka Minecraft server, you're whitelisted for the Tekkit server too. If you're not whitelisted yet, head over to the Whitelist thread and post your Minecraft username there. Nice and simple (but as this is my server, I'm not ruling out the chance that this will change).

The Dakka Minecraft Server
If you don't want to install the Technic launcher, don't trust it or just have no interest, then don't worry - the regular Dakka Minecraft server is not going away, I will continue to maintain both (and I will still probably spend most of my time in the original server, once the Tekkit spawn is more complete). This Tekkit server is just an alternate for all those who want to try Tekkit.

What's the difference between Technic and Tekkit?
Technic is a large collection of Single Player Mods. Tekkit is a smaller subset of those mods that are compatible with multiplayer.

Map
Here's a live map of the Tekkit server:
http://www.darkinnit.com/tekkitmap/
It shows updates in real time, including player positions. I understand this is even more big brother than the current Dakka map, so if you want to hide from the map, you can type "/dynmap hide" in game (no quotes) and you will not appear on the map (type "/dynmap show" to return to the map).

Teething problems
I've been testing it for a while and it seems ok, but I have little to no experience with Tekkit or Technic, so we may encounter some teething problems at first. Please let me know if anything at all is not right or not working as expected.

What about nukes/(other mass destruction device)?
I'm not disabling nukes or any other component of Tekkit (to begin with). I'd like to see how things go and then only change things if they become a major problem. Nukes and other destructive things will be handled just the same as TNT on the current Dakka Minecraft server. If you set one off on your own area, or out in the middle of nowhere, fine. If you destroy someone else's property, it's a ban, from both servers. If you accidentally destroy your own stuff with a nuke or device etc, you won't get much sympathy from me

Why Tekkit and not mod/gamemode/map x?
I've seen quite a few people say they've stopped playing Vanilla because of Technic, as well as several requests for a Tekkit server get passed around. I'll see how this goes. If interest dwindles, we can always try something different, but I hope to maintain this server to the same level as the Dakka Minecraft server if interest is sustained.

What's this thread for?
To discuss anything Tekkit related. It's mainly to keep the main Minecraft thread tidy and less confusing. General Minecraft discussion in the Minecraft thread, Tekkit specific stuff here.

UPDATE: Test Feed the Beast Direwolf20 v5.0.1 server available at ftb.darkinnit.com:25585

First!

And I don't think we should Claim enderchest colors, that way we can use them how vanilla enderchests were going to be, Trading posts without a massive walk because I'm sure some people will go the magic route where others will go with the TECHNOLOGY!/SCIENCE! route.

and just incase there isn't one closer (I can't see any)

I claim these two oil wells.

I do like me some shiny shiny Tekkity goodness...

well, anyone wanting to help me (re)start tekkit, come on over to -100x, 600z.

BTW, how do world anchors work in SMP?

are we aloud them, seems like it could cause alot of lag...

I'll reiterate my claim to this island, and the surrounding two oil wells, just for my piece of mind that I can't place a sign down at the moment.

I'm in single player right now planning out my underground base for it.

I can't currently use the map, because every few seconds it refreshes itself and defaults the camera.

Make sure you're using the plain url - http://www.darkinnit.com/tekkitmap/ and not someone's location link.

Also, to everyone else, if you open a command prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns" without quotes, you can connect to minecraft.net...

here be dragons....arrrrrrr

Just a notice here from Schellan's Valley Incorporated:

We are currently hiring, PM me or ask me in game for details!

Also, is the nether going to have set pathways like vanilla or is it a free for all? (I'm going straight for setting up a monopoly on a certain rare Nether drop).

I'd say use the Nether for pathways, at least until someone can get a Teleporter system set up, or some High Speed Rails (if Railcraft is implemented).

I've tried it several times already, still refreshes.

Tried to flush my dns, still cannot connect :(

Flush it harder.

Tekkit needs more meteorites.

Use a plunger.

Iustis and I are almost to the point of having a full set of tiertwo industrialcraft machines. Please do not switch them off, and please keep creepers away from my machines.

Are people online on the tekkit server? I can't login to minecraft.net. :(

Yeah, MC's login is kinda buggy right now.

There are hundreds of different combinations, but I realise with the size of the server, individuals claim colours sets won't work.
But I think that we need some for teleporter routes once we make some, it costs more eu the further you travel and the more items you have. Enderchests would mean a cheaper way of travel in that regard.

Also, does anyone know if EE bags are individual, or shared?

Gunna start having to re learn tekkit xD

Has anyone started an IC2 farm? If so could I borrow seeds? If not, then I'll probably get started this weekend.

Amusingly, anything produced by handsaws appears as cobblestone stairs on the map.

I think EE bags are individual. But I could be wrong here.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, from one of the tekkit wkis:

On SMP if two or more players have the same colour bag, the inventory will NOT be shared.

Dunno if that is the same for the enderchests.

Finally getting to work on my own house.
After I invented the crate and filled it with chickens.

I think enderchested are shared... at least the version in Direwolf20's smp season 2 were

Also, I'd like to remind everyone of 2 important IC2 SMP items and 1 not-so-important IC2 SMP item, the Personal Safe and the Trade-O-Mat, as well as the not-so-useful Industrial Credit

aye, same

Well Shrike mind if I join ya house then?

sure, it's the one on the island at -100x, 600z (I think)- whichever co-ords lead from spawn past Mel's and Iustis' place and through the valley project thingy.

Hey you guize liek mi kewl haws? so kewl we shuld all buld 1 @ spwn zomg.

Huzzah I can see my skin serverside on tekkit now!
