Minecraft Server Setup

[Quivorir]

You having that mod where what you mine (Above stone) equals money?

 

[Chief]

Never heard of it. I'd like for it not to be TOO easy to make loads of cash on your first day. Then people have to work at it to get what they need for their projects.

Check this page out some of those mods seem cool to use.

A brief look and this seems to be pretty decent approximation of what I want to do:

Seems to give decent border control and so on.

By the way, you can add your Minecraft user ID in your profile: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/profile.php?do=editprofile

Scroll right down - it's the 8th option from the bottom.

Later I'll use this to identify BigFooty members and give them extra permissions or bits n pieces.

Hi could i please have my account whitelisted
Its "modus20"

Thank you

 

[Chief]

Sorry guys it seems I missed paying the bill while I was away. Server should be back up on 'Monday' - i.e. Tuesday.

As Bukkit has reached 1.0 we'll begin the move to 1.0 on the server next week.

All good been (am) there.

Awsome ! I started playing on another server, but it just aint the same.

Server saying it's up and there is someone online and have updated Minecraft but when I try to join it comes up with. Connection lost, the server responded with an invalid server key? Any ideas?

 

[Mobbs]

Yeah just try again, it was me that was in.

By the way, out little home is now protected by a ring of exploded creeper pits

 

[Mesc]

So is the server running with the proper world files?

 

[Chief]

I've sent another support request for them to fix the server and recover files.

It seems they have some automated system that blasts everything if you're late in paying - as I was while overseas. My apologies if this is the case here. I don't have much of a backup I don't think. I have some files from 27/10 but that's it - I assume they are the blank world with the village and tower.

Then again we can always start fresh on ver 1.

 

[Eth]

But you have a legitimate reason for not paying. No need to apologise if we don't get that map back - it'd be complete bullshit.

 

[Hellbourne]

Any chance the spawn point can be cleared? Im stuck up a tree and can't chop it to get out!

 

[Chief]

Sorry guys.

When we set up with i3d.net I had a long conversation with their people about the requirements, the games, the offers they had going, all sorts of issues.

But they have an automated system that blasts the server without backups as soon as you are late paying.

Their payment reminder emails are in Dutch.

Their whole response is: But we sent you an email. We are not responsible if you don't respond to every single generic support ticket response notification we send you.

 

[Beloved]

So in other words, goodbye to the last server. -Sigh-

Really piss weak on their behalf. But hey, that's life for you. Onwards and upwards.

Order 119730018 (i3dsucks.com) processed: Domain registration successfully completed

 

[Chief]

I've tracked it back:

Invoice sent out the day I flew out to the US.

Due date the day after Christmas.

Server wiped the day after that.

No manual checking or leeway from i3D.

Dutch support people who think a refund will return them to the Hunger Winter.

The perfect storm for a system under strain to fail.

Have a go on their demo server and let me know if it works for you.

 

[Eth]

Sure you want a server not hosted in Australia?

 

[Chief]

If you can find an Aussie host please let me know.
