The MafiaScum Minecraft Thread - AllTheMods 9!!! - NEW Vanilla?

[Maruchan]

just start a third server that regularly updates?

thats what the vanilla server was supposed to be. If you remember, we were even doing weekly builds on it for awhile.

[Maestro]

then people wanted lolstability

either way, vanilla is going to 1.6.4 so the debate can continue and people who want the current world to stay can go hang around izak'stronghold to load it up once I do the update. rally my only qualm is that having to travel thousands of blocks for new stuff isn't rally wha I want to do, but tierce's point is a valid one, I guess we couldn't've really just cut and paste the old spawntown onto the new map either

why not 1.7.2?

[Maestro]

The way 1.6.4 works is that you have to go and reload all the structures (naturally generated ones, that is) while you're on 1.6.4 BEFORE you update to 1.7, or else 1.7 will break them. So strongholds, witch huts, dungeons, they all need to be visited in 1.6.4 before a 1.7 update.

[Maestro]

1.6.4 was basically a "patch update" meant to go right in btween a 1,6,2 server and a 1,7 update
it fixed the above issue but not without little hitches along the way

[Maestro]

[Tierce]

Imagine that. I'd be pretty okay with restarting--as long as we do get world save files for the current save.

There's a few things I'd like to try building, and it'd be nice to have a somewhat organized spawntown, with defined lots and whatnot--even if the styles are very different.

But mostly I'd just like to play again and there's little point in doing it on the server if people are not interested in the current vanilla.

[Bulbazak]

I've just been busy lately. I've been intending on spending more time playing soon.

[Maestro]

^ Is that agreement to Tierce's change of heart? Because as it is, nobody has noticed that the server hasn't been up since the 14th...speaking of which I have an announcement.

[Maestro]

"A screw-up happened with my bank account, putting me in the negative, and that caused the Vanilla Server to go unpaid. I didn't know until I checked my bank account recently. So, it seems I cannot keep on paying for the Vanilla Server."

---

So.

Basically what this means is that nobody has even tried to log in to the Vanilla Server for the past 4 days...and if they have I don't know why they didn't mention it was down. All we're asking for at this point is some small donation from somebody who does play on the server on a consistent basis. Unfortunately, neither Klazam nor I qualify based on that, and neither of us can afford it anyway. If you'd like to have an Admin switchover as well, now is the perfect time, since the new client for our hosting company will have to either set me up with the appropriate privileges or handle that themselves.

Regardless of whether we get a donation or not, and regardless of whether we restart to 1.7.2 or not, the current server is inaccessible in every interpretation of the word. In addition to (obviously) not allowing players access on account of it being locked off, I'm locked out of file access as well, and I can't provide anyone with a current world download without us first paying for a least one more cycle on the current Vanilla Server.

Donation talk should be in PM's to Klaz, but here is his donation PayPal link.
Admin/Restart discussion can continue in-thread.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

M i can take over. Text or pm or call or something. We can talk when I get home tonight.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

The payments i mean. Put it on my card.

[izakthegoomba]

M, are you saying you want to quit as admin? Because if that's the case I'd be willing to take over, assuming we want to keep it as a plugin-light vanilla server that's primarily community-run.

Either way, I really hope this can carry on some way, I'd love to be able to play multiplayer again, since I've failed to find a half-decent 1.7 server so far.

[Maestro]

I'm not saying I want to quit, I'm just saying if people want an Admin who plays Vanilla more than anything else it probably won't ever be me and they should choose somebody else.

As it is, none of the plugins we would want to use on a "plugin-light" server are even updated so that's not an issue.

[Maestro]

ETL and Klaz've talked, everyone thank her. <3

So anyway, we're pretty much back at a "what version should we use/should the map restart" talk.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I like restarts. I'd play Vanilla if it restarted. Mostly I stopped because the thing I built was ugly and it hurt my face to see it. I was thinking too large to start and got overwhelmed.

I told klaz I wanna make a little fishing hut where I can fish for different fish.

Regardless of what happens from here on out, here's a current world download from a backup I just made of the Vanilla Server's world files.

EDIT: It's in Bukkit world format, which isn't directly readable by the Vanilla Minecraft client. To switch it back...

Step 1

: Copy the unzipped world folders to the "saves" folder of your .minecraft directory. (Keep the .zip file as a backup...just in case?)

To find your .minecraft folder ~ launch Minecraft, select "Options", select "Resource Packs", select "Open Resource Pack Folder", go up one level. Voila!

Step 2

: Navigate to the "world_nether" and "world_the_end" directories you've copied over.

Step 3

: Move the

ENTIRE

"world_nether/DIM-1" folder to the "world" directory from

Step 1

.

Step 4

: Do the same for "world_the_end/DIM1" folder.

Step 5

: Delete the rest of the "world_nether" and "world_the_end" directories. You shouldn't need them in the Vanilla client.

Profit

: Hope and pray and start up the world. Testing out Portals would be a good idea, to make sure it all worked.

[izakthegoomba]

Obviously, I'd be in favour of a map restart with the move to 1.7.2.

[My Milked Eek]

Map restart would make me come back!

Can I bring a friend? He's reliable.

[Klazam]

Map restart would make me come back!

Can I bring a friend? He's reliable.

Of coursse.

If a restart happens i'd play for a while.

[Rhinox]

If people come back to play again I'll probably play again too

If this happens before thanksgiving, I've got a couple days off from work leading into the weekend with nothing to do

[My Milked Eek]

Rhinox!

Ok, if Bulba and UT are ok with the restart it can happen tonight.
Welcome back Eek! Been a long time for you.
