Eagleworld.net Minecraft Blog More Minecraft than ever before!

Server is now up using Bukkit.

Total hours clocked so far: 34 40.

UPDATE: I have updated a bunch of info in this post. Even if you have read this post, please check through for all stuff with "NEW" in front of it!

This will be a long post, and I expect everyone to read it. There is too much to know about the new server to NOT read this. I have very little patience right now with this server, and any questions easily answered by this post will not be answered nicely.

That being said, let's talk about what's working and what's not.

What is done so far:

• Minecraft updated to 1.3 and map converted successfully.
• Craftbukkit (The Bukkit API) is installed at Build 440.
• Essentials plugin installed (provides all basic commands we like).
• All warps we use converted to Essentials plugin format. (NEW: Use /warp to see the list of warps. Some have changed named and some have been deleted.)
• Permissions plugin installed (provides group-based permissions).
• TownyMod is installed and working. All data imported.
• LWC (Lightweight Chest Protection) installed and working. Chest Database imported, so all chests are still protected.
• BigBrother installed to log ALL changes to server. This will let me catch griefers as well as roll back their changes if necessary.
• WorldEdit installed for Mods/Admins to perform Anti-Griefing as well.
• WorldGuard installed to restrict Lava, TNT, and Flint and Steel.
• iConomy is installed, but only the base plugin.
• All scripts I made/use converted to Bukkit, so backups work fine.
• NEW: Monsters enabled! Check upcoming post for details.
• NEW: Bedrock Gap Insurance installed.
• NEW: Dynamic Maps installed.

What still needs to be done:

• Set everyone's Talons to their previous amount (could not import).
• Set everyone's permissions to what they need to be (could not import).
• Install a Global Shop plugin, as well as a player shop plugin.
• Install a form of map plguin (preferrably better than the one we had).
• Figure out what other plugins I need to fix/install.
• Eventually get more worlds available (such as the nether-realms, a wilderness server, and a fallout server).

WHAT DOES NOT WORK RIGHT NOW:

• Warps are all f***ed up due to a 1.3 chunk reload bug. There is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Warps work, but you might die when you teleport to the new area, and it will take a while for everything to load. I WILL NOT respawn items if you lose them in this way for ANY REASON.
• There is no global shop. No, it's not coming soon. The iConomy plugin updated to 4.0 as of last night, so the shop plugins need to update. Once they do, I will work on it.
• I will not be doing member salaries right now. If you missed out on February, you will be given a chance to claim it when I am ready again.
• Maps will not update. Be patient.
• Monsters will not spawn yet. We are almost ready for them. They'll be here soon. And yes, they will only be outside towns. And yes, Creepers won't kill the land/buildings, but they can kill you.

And most importantly...

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

• Wait for me to grant you your proper permissions. Permissions will be given as follows:
  • People with no status stay as Guest.
  • People with member status become a Builder.
  • People with VIP status become an Artisan. This is NOT a demotion. You will have all the same privileges you had before, plus more.
• NOTE: I will go into the new ranks in detail in another post.
• Make sure you read /rules in-game again. Just to make sure everyone understands them.
• Make sure you read all of the new commands that are available through the /help command (use /help 2, /help 3, etc. to see all the pages). I won't get time to do it for a while, as there is still so much to do on the server.
• Be patient. It's going to be a while before this all works right.
• If I am not online to give you your rights, don't bitch at me. I've been at this for days, and I need a break.
• NEW: You will need to set your /home warp again with /sethome.

Anyway, the server is online. Give it a shot. If you have problems, feel free to ask me, but PLEASE double-check the blog first to make sure I didn't address it yet. I'll be updating this post often to make sure everyone is abreast with any server issues or to-dos left.

And if I sound a bit sort, I've just had a real exasperating time with this, so bear with me. Everything WILL work soon, and any bugs or whatever will get ironed out. Otherwise, there are quite a few suprises in store for you thanks to Bukkit, so make sure to check out the /help command and see them all!
