The server seems to have been down for most of the day. The server WAS up prior to 13:20, though I managed to wake at 13:22. Unfortunate, for there was work to be done in the underworld project!

[edit]And the server seems to remain down...[/edit]

[Osmosis Jones]

Still down

What's up with the server PTTG? I thought the new one was supposed to fix this :/

Ahh well. Murphy's law I guess.

[Rose]

just so you know, OJ, I got your track connected to my station, and it works well.

[Osmosis Jones]

Sweet With a little work, I should be able to link Sizeak's place up, if he's keen, giving us the Southern Seaboard Shuttle.

[Rose]

there's to ramps you can go down in the station, a northward bound one, and a southward bound one. the southbound one has a lever that switches whether it goes to moria or to your line. I'm not sure if the 180 degree turn took away too much power, but I seem to fly off the end of your track without losing speed.

[PTTG??]

I don't know what happened to the server, but it locked up bad. Go ahead and take a look. I have a backup in case there was some corruption, but it's a bit old.

The server is up and running.

[shadowsofwhite]

Aside from minor lag issues and the occasional chunk load error, everything seems to be running in order. We do seem to have had a case or two of griefing, but that is beside the fact.

[shadowsofwhite]

Is it possible to back up the server soon?

[Osmosis Jones]

Hey Japa, my house is now hooked up to the rail network. I'm currently working on adding a push button launch system to the station as well, to make the system a little neater.

[Rose]

just make sure that whatever you do, you can still chose between 3 destinations, and that incoming traffic doesn't automatically become outgoing.

[Osmosis Jones]

Part of the problem with the existing set up is just that; it fires you straight through without stopping at that station. I'm going to make it so, whichever way you're coming, you get parked into a button-booster, with the destination switches in easy reach. Then, once you've made your choice, hit the button, and BAM away you go. I'll also put it so that you go through a second booster to give you enough thrust to get to moria.

[Rose]

wait, really?

I specifically made it so that you stop before actually entering the station. did something change again?

Ahh. There was a creeper attack which I patched up, so I probably just filled in the stopping circuits. That said, I think my planned design will be more efficient (timewise, not necessarily resourcewise) than the current one. We shall have to see.

EDIT: I have been working on this for way too long, it's now horribly complicated, and probably bugged up the wazoo, but I think I have the track all laid out properly. Now all I need to do is redstone it up, and we're set. So in the meantime, can no one play too much with the station? Some of the corner pieces where very finicky to lay, and a single stray torch or track piece could undo a lot of work. You should be able to get enough of a boost to reach spawn, and you can choose to go to either moria or spawn by playing with the torch under the secondary booster.

[PTTG??]

So, I've been talking to Tahin, and he thinks we may be able to run a two worlds at once on this server. It seems that the main thing holding us back is the bandwidth, and so long as we have a total number of players on both servers that is the same as now, we won't have any additional lag.

Shall we give this a try?
