Server Maintenance

Hello everyone, the server will be down most of tomorrow so the map can pre-generate. This will stop the lagg when someone would start generating the chunks.

It is unknown how long this will take so keep and eye on this post for updates. Also for people who were in the temp map a few things are being ported over. The valley and islands mainly.

Creative Build Flat Lands Created!

Hello everyone, in the grand scheme of the server the creative build map is now up and running for Registered ranks and above.

To enter it just find the portal at spawn and walk through, then get building!


The portal to the map!

Creative Build spawn!

Permissions has been updated. Be sure to check the Ranks page!

Server Updates and more!

I've updated most of the plugins to the latest builds which has reduced the server tension some what. So teleportation should be more smooth now.

I've also added worldguard. This means, as of now, creepers will not cause block damage...YAY!
I've added a few back-end plugins for the admins and mods, for when the server goes public.

Oh, I've also removed the Regular Donators rank (Read on)

In other news!

I did a quick test with factions. It...didn't go too well. So I've removed it from the server. But I can say factions will become a thing on the server at one point, once all the settings are completed. So keep an eye out.

In more news!

We will be having a New years photo-shoot on the server on Tuesday 10PM (GMT) / 5pm (EST). We hope you can all join us like the Christmas photo-shoot. It'll take 10 minutes of your time and shows support for the server. ;)

Plugins and features to come:

Due to popular demand, a limited version of mcMMO will be added. Allowing people to professionalize in certain abilities. My hope is this will promote trading in the server, bringing it a more community feel.

Factions is on this list, but until it's HUGE configuration file is setup and the arms length permissions nodes are setup. It's going to take some time...

The original plan...no more regular donators...

Originally I planned on running 2 servers for the community. The current one and another modded one that would run a stripped down version of Tekkit/FTB. But I've decided to drop that and go with a plan I have setup. I plan on coding a new plugin that implements Industrial Craft items into vanilla minecraft allowing you the benifits of IC without the mod.

The idea would be similar to how Lockette works. An example would be placing a sign on a furnace titled [Macerator]. This would then give you say; 2 iron bars per ore...and so on. Please comment below (If you can) with your thoughts on this.

Thank you all, OPP.

Boxing Day Photo-shoot! - SMILE!

Thank you everyone that attended the photo-shoot. (Was also a good time to test the server for lag ;) )

I can say both were successful and we hope you can attend new years photo-shoot!












Unable to connect?! Here's why...

UPDATE: Issue seems to be resolved for now...

Hello everyone. Last night the server hit it's harddrive space quota. We're currently waiting for the host to allocate more space. For the moment the server will have to stay down, until then otherwise your progress wont be saved.

Update On DNS

The "play.oppcraft.net" domain should be fully working now. If it's not for you, that's probably your ISP not refreshing the DNS their end but you can still use "s13.hosthorde.com:25566" to still connect.

Wednesday 19 December 2012

Update

Hello everyone, after the DNS got refreshed last night. It came to my attention that the "play.oppcraft.net" domain started failing for some people.

If you are having the "Unknown Host" error when trying to connect. You can either keep trying or use the alternate IP below.

s13.hosthorde.com:25566
