I'm still around, just a lot of exams now. But inbetween exams and afterwards I'd definitley be up for playing.

Well I think with the right plugins, SMP is as easy to build in as creative but with added interesting things to do. Well I'll have to do a load reading about setting these plugins up with bukkit but they look useful. I also liked the look of CraftBook tbh, would anyone object?

The first rule of PlaneHacked is don't talk about PlaneHacked... The Inner Server

I have to admit LNCP, I've not really run a proper server before so I don't know what  //cyl 0 300 80. is :/ I need to do some reading and attempt setting some stuff up. Would it be worth going ahead with this then and getting a forum up to move to?

I beleive that is a cylinder made of cacti.

Also include BiomeBrush in the plugins list, because it is good to be able to paint biomes around. I have a project at the moment (the non-euclidean castle) which is slowly taking shape. However it has one issue - I'm using a custom texture pack where several ores and other blocks got replaced by other stuff. That tower render I posted which is made of white stone actually is made of jungle wood, but I replaced the textures for something more useful than a fourth wood hue. I already commited a lot of the project to this re-assigned texture set, so it'd be hard to adapt it if we were to use an alternative pack.

[sizeak]

I'll add it to the list and start getting a better place for discussion going.

Sorry if I'm being dumb, but isn't the texture pack entirely client side so it would be up to player what they use. So I guess it would be weird that they saw wood, but that's up to them, we could have a recommended pack I suppose and notify people on the forum and in the MOTD.

[Djohaal]

Yes the concern is mostly on weirdness for other people visiting it.

Nobody will use a forum set up for this server. Nobody did last time, when we used PTTG's forum (I still get emails about spambots trying to register every now and then).

I observed a problem on a server with a similar setup; I forget which. Anyway, the problem was that the admins let people claim space far too easily, with the result being a very cluttered skyline and world, a bunch of these shitty "theme parks" made from glowstone and cobble with no theme to it and broken rides of minimal amusement, areas where people seem to have just run wild with coloured wool in an attempt to produce a Minecraft Jackson Pollock work (didn't succeed, obviously) and swathes of land which were empty but claimed anyhow and were impassable.

So there really should be some kind of initial restriction on what you can do unless you can make a good pitch.

While we're at it, the Voxel Box seems like a good role model. Some of the things they do won't work here because we'll have 8 players tops, but their plugins look amazing. VoxelMore, VoxelGuest, VoxelMimic and VoxelTimer all seem very useful for a server like this. VoxelPort 2 might also be useful.

[sizeak]

Fine, makes my life easier.

I think initial restrictions are a good idea. I had a quick look at the plugins, with all of these is WorldEdit really required too? I don't want to go over the top with them as they will slow down the server. I mean if we use VoxelGuest do we really need commandbook? etc. I'd rather not overlap them too much functionality wise.

[Djohaal]

Worldedit is very handy for several functions, not using it would be difficult. Just check if the voxel box stuff is updated (might need to use the beta builds).
I agree with LNCP, a forum thread here might suffice, unless we start growing a lot (what I doubt), and equally, copying the voxelbox server model is a good idea, those guys know their shit.
A permissions system can allow for guests to visit the server but be unable to interact with anything. AFAIK such plugins are very secure, a lot of big servers allow non-whitelisted people to prance around, fly and such to travel around.
When can we expect the server to be up? I wanna build! :p
(if you need help setting it up drop me a PM)

[sizeak]

Hey, Sorry for the delay, been at work all day. Xcode is fucking up my life :/ I'm setting it up right now, hopefully be done tonight.

Ok so I have WorldEdit and WorldGuard installed so far and I've configured Edit, however Guard has a shit ton of options. Does anyone have some ideas of what we should enable? I was thinking of leaving it default except:

* Disable TNT
* Disable fire spreading and lava causing fire
* Disable Endermen griefing
* Stopping creepers damaging terrain but not players
* Stop fireballs damaging terrain, same for withers
* Disabling trampling of crops
* Enabling teleport when you fall into void space
* Disabling damage from falling, drowning, suffocation

I think that is quite a good setup. Should avoid my junglewood-lightstone from catching fire

VoxelGuest doesn't seem to be compatible atm, so I'll leave it for now. I'm just installing Sniper, Mimic and More then we should be good I think. I have the server setup to use a max of 3GB RAM and also a 512MB RAM Disk so it should hopefully be pretty responsive. According to random googling in theory that should be able to support 20-30 players so we should be good.

Edit: Are you going to rebuild it, or do you want me to see if we can use the map?

I don't think I can restrict usage of Mimic and More without Guest, which could be annoying.

Also Might install this sometime: http://overviewer.org/

It is just a collection of chunks that make part of an island. It can be stiched into any peice of ocean without much fuss. the map the project sits in atm is a bit messed up from me learning worldedit (gotta find the reset chunk command ) . The .schemaic file which can be imported via MCedit is just a few kilobytes, and I think worldedit supports importing schematics if you give it a proper path to look at.

[sizeak]

The server supports prompting clients to download a texture pack if you want to use yours (assuming I like it ). If so link me the zip

Never played around with this sort of mods/plugins, so this will be a good setup to test them around.
