Minecraft at Respawn, Minecraft Options

[orbit]

Hi Guys,

What did you guys think of minecraft at respawn v19? I realise that there were heaps of issues with the server going down and some people not being able to play due to a "/kill" glitch.
As Notch sorts out his game things will get better and the game with (hopfully) become more stable.

Do you think it is worth having a minecraft server at respawn hosted by the admin team (probibly on one of the more powerful servers) or should we just leave the servers up to the players?
I have been playing around with Hey0's server mod and i'll be hosting an internet Minecraft server of my own to get used to how it all works and to try and avoid any furthur issues next respawn (if we run another minecraft server that is).

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips to running a Minecraft server? What do you want to see for the next one?

Respawn v19 we had some issues with a few griefers that really upset some players. It was never stated anywhere that griefing wasnt allowed however i thought it was implied. I will be sure to be a bit more specific next time to avoid this sort of thing happening in the future. What rules should we have set up?

Also i just wanted to give a shout out to the winners of the previous "Build something cool Minecraft Fun comp":

I really couldnt decide on just one winner this time around, there was just too much awesome going on. I will be posting screenshots of what they managed to build during V19 soon.

I've been in a Minecraft lull lately, there was an Australian based server that I used to frequent that has been down for a few weeks now. But when you get used to the server mods, and realise that it's people like Hey0 making SMP playable, it's hard to play on the vanilla server. Have a look at hmod, and the different plugins for it, definitely worthwhile.

I'd be all for a Respawn Minecraft server too, but those things chew through downloads, and are bandwidth-intensive. Notch really needs to get his act together.

Don't forget the pics orbit!

PS - http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.ph...014&t=24510 <-- The other MC server I go on, the aussie one. It's been down for a while, but hopefully should be up again in the next few days.

I did have one hosted for Orbitoid. but I think it fell over.

I can fire it back up, but you'd need to get Orbit to reconfigure/confirm it.

I play on the Something awful TCC sub forum server.

This isnt all of the pics but i cannot find any more of them now.

oh yeah and an honerable mention to this guy. He wasnt in our server but he made some very cool stuff. It looks like he used server commands (like get ) to get the materials that he needed. Still very cool none the less.

Now that i have all of that out of the way. What do you guys think about getting a Respawn Minecraft server up and running? Now that Minecraft is in Beta is seems to be a little bit more stable (for now) so we might be able to get some mods in it too if you want them.

We will just need to get someone to agree to let us use some resources on a computer that wont be going offline any time soon. I would use my VPS for it but it only has 512MB of RAM.

Is there anyone out there who would be willing to donate say 2GB of RAM, some CPU time and around 10GB a month worth of bandwidth on a server somewhere? or maybe we can get a donation thing happening and rent one out in the name of Respawn?

[SLoV]

im happy to donate a spare e8500 to the casue can clock up to 4.2 ghz on water if that helps got some spare hdds too, if anyone can donate a small case and psu, ill hun around for a matx mobo or something to run it

i just got another mad idea !!! what about if, i bring my projector, and have a live stream of the map all lan ? ? ? ? ? ? ?yea yea yea ? well yea ?but how do u stream at lan ? lol

[Jen]

Orbit: ask deadman to host it on his v-centre

We could have a live map being generated and put up on the big projector up the front if we are allowed. I see space issues arrising if you bring your own projector. It might be ok you would just have to ask the right people.

I havent tried it yet but I'm thinking of using this to generate a map for us:

Does anyone else have a better suggestion for generating a real time map that we can display to everyone? maybe if we can get it embedded in a website that would be ideal so we can just tell people the link and they can look at the map up close for themselves?

[SLoV]

bringing a projector shouldnt be a problem i have brought it in the past and set it up on the annex

[orbit]

Cool, if the admins are ok with it then bring it along and i'll see if i can get this map mod working. Maybe we could put other things on it as well?

Does anyone else know of/use a better Live map generator for Minecraft?

ive got an amd 3 core 2.8 ghz 4 gig ram etc mini comp we can use as the server now too

The main thing i was looking for was a server with an internet connection to use when not at respawn. There is no short of powerful comptuers we can use at Respawn but when we take the server down it would be nice to be able to keep it running online so everyone can join it and build on things while at home.
