1.5

1.5 has been released and as you all know we will not be updating until bukkit get their shit together. If someone has a 1.5 server they want to share put it in the comments. If you want to continue to play on the main server make sure to backup before upgrade to 1.5.  We will post again when we make the upgrade.

Update: For server change requests when we do the update please post it in the forum here.

Plugin Updates!

Brief Update: Multiverse works, Lockette should work, the new rTriggers should work, and I'm just fixing the MySQL connection for the new LogBlock plugin. Also, Essentials is throwing mad errors, even though it seems to work in-game, but an update will be pending, fo shizzle.

1.4.7

FOLKS!

A Recommended Build for 1.4.7 FINALLY came out, so we're gonna upgrade, hopefully later today!

And also, I am ready to return after Skyrim consumed my soul :D

UPDATE: DONE. Multiverse doesn't work, and many plugins haven't been updated for some time...tell me what is broken! Also, all the other worlds are there still, we just can't get to them until the plugin updates :D

UPDATE 2: Multiverse is still dead, for now. Lockette doesn't work at all it seems...we're looking for an updated plugin that respects existing signs so you don't have to relock all your chests. We've chosen a new logging plugin...I just need to set up the SQL!

1.5 announcement

Hey everyone,

Bouke here, I've done some testing in the new snapshots for 1.5, The Redstoneupdate and I've come to some serious conclusions. As for the snapshot 13W01b ALL BUD's dont work or are not reliable. So if you have a redstone contraption relying on BUD's (that includes redstonelamp BUD's and piston BUD's) try to rebuild them offline in the new snapshot to see if they still work or try to fix them.

I thought it was important to inform you well before the update so, you have enough time to think of a solution.

Love, BoukeBrink

PS, this(below) still works

P RS
P B RS L

Legen: P= Piston, B= Block, RS= Redstone, L=Redstone source

World Corruption Error

THe server is running in a blank world on my test machine right now. Why? Read below! Feel free to fuck around in this dummy map.

Unstable bukkit is causing dramatic world corruption errors. Working on a fix, may take some time, we'll be offline for a while. CHeck here for updates.

Since everyone deserves more info: Bukkit is having a problem where the cached chunk isn't getting written to the save, so it's reloading from the save, with the wrong coords, then writing that back. That's balls. So there's a utility to fix this, linked here: Fenixin which I am running...which on a world our size oculd take HOURS.

UPDATE: After like 32 hours, I got the following result:

4 fixed chunks of a total of 4 wrong located chunks

Then, I booted it up, logged in...and got this:

Right back where we started, broken chunks. I don't know what to do, elite base is all fucked. It's for sure the beta bukkit. I think what'll have to happen is when RB comes out, we'll have to run this again and re-try to fix it...until then I'll look at manually editing the region files to fix it since the coords ARE there, pulling from a backup from like Nov 5. I'm sorry this is happening, and there's no clean fix for it.

I'm gonna try one more thing...in case that backup # 1000 had the bad chunk errors already written, I'm gonna run this one more time with the oldest backup we have, see if it fixes it. Stay tuned...I figured how to multi-thread it so it'll go faster.
