SMP Updates & Changes Part 2 ft. The Server Split!

32 votes

Hello All!

The Server will be coming down in roughly 30 minutes from when this post is on the front page. These changes will take time so the server could be up and down a lot during this time. 

Some planned Changes & Additions to the SMP Server:

  • PvP Map moved to another server (Same Map)
  • Updated and Improved Creative to its Live State
  • Reset Creative Servers Map
  • Lowered Teleport delay
  • Updated Plugins
  • All Servers running on updated Software
  • Changed IRC Plugin.
  • Added Science (Interserver portals)
  • Moved player PvP Inventories to the PvP Server.
  • Simple Clans is back!

This update is aimed to help fix a lot of issues and increase server performance by splitting up the maps and the back end files.

More informing as this proccess unfolds

Any questions, just post in the thread and either me or a staff member will answer .

#Update: Backups were made, data was moved around. Servers Should be operational before the weekend is over. Its a matter of sorting through the plugins and putting data in the right place. 

#Update2: Due to extra issues, PvP has not been brought online yet but SMP is still going strong!

So here are the top 5 entries (With points out of 50):

1) niels - 42.5

2) Hallyn - 41

3) ranger10700 - 40

4+5) Lautlos76 + Xenuz - 38.5

Yes, you can go enjoy your stupid fireworks now and other bug fixes. And also, don't worry when Minecraft updates to 1.4.7 because it will still be compatible with the server!

Credits to niels for the Fireworks machine!

1.4.6 Warning + SMP Updates

39 votes

So with 1.4.6 just launching I can not stress enough that the WoM Public SMP WILL NOT update until there is a stable Bukkit build available. I will update this thread when there is progress.

 

In other news:

We say goodbye to the Clans plugin as it caused a massive server crash today. I had to remove it to get rid of the issues, however: I will keep a close eye on the plugin's development if there is an update out. 

Clans will only return if it stops effecting the server's performance. I am actively looking for a suitable replacement for it but for the time being the server will be 'clanless'. 

If you guys have plugin suggestions: PM me

That's all for now

 

Christmas Build Info!

40 votes

The contest has now ended, thank you to all who took part, results expected 9th/10th January.

Every person in the contest gets one 39x39 plot. These will work like the shops in the new world, just right click the sign and the plot will be claimed for you. You can build as high as you want in your plot, but remember that it isn't just a competition of who can build the highest, if something is too repetative, the judges will get bored of it.

Almost anything is allowed in the contest (redstone and pixelart included), but it has to follow a christmas theme (Kinda in the name of the competition :P)

A few items like eggs and potions have been disabled as we decided that they did not add that much to any building, but could cause serious server lag if everyone decides to go crazy with them.

Beacons have also been disabled as we do not want skylights everywhere and random beacon effects as we move around.

There are no teams, everyone does their own build.

Rules:

  • Normal server rules apply, and normal server punishments will be given out.
  • No trying to change any blocks outside of your area, If you do, you will be removed from the contest.
  • Please no trying to shoot/throw things out of your area, that is just annoying to other people who are trying to build.

To get to the Contest world, just type: /comp.

WoM Christmas Build Off 2012

50 votes

Now that the new map is finally here, it is time to announce the WoM Christmas build off 2012. (Which I think is the first staff run contest on SMP)

There is going to be a flat area with a series of plots made on it so that people do not need to level their own land, and so that the judges do not need to go hunting to find the entries. 

People will be given creative mode for this contest, just to make sure that it is all fair, otherwise people who had been here longer would have more of a chance. This means staff can enter.
