Server Underground trainsystem.

Hi Guys/Gals of Teh3l3m3nts!

BoukeBrink here.

Together with Oktarinii(thaum) i've started a HUGE project. Wonder what it is? Well I'll tell you! We are building a Worldwide trainsystem! If you have a nice village you use or a nice/awesome(can be both) build just comment on this post with the XYZ coordinates and I will come take a look. The system will be made with 4 main parts: The spawn station made by cncr4s(he moved on), Trainhubs which combine multiple tracks, Stations which will be built in/or near each build(example: the Lonely Islands)

What I'm asking you is:

1. do you have cool/awesome build?

2. do you want it connected with the system?

Greetz BoukeBrink

PS. if you see bad grammar just ignore it. English isn't my native language

NEW SERVER TESTING

WE ARE MOVING NOW! USE THE TEMPORARY ADDRESS FOR A WHILE! UPGRADE TO 1.4.2

NEWSFLASH! We got a development build of Bukkit 1.4.2, so if you updated, log into the new server!

Ok! The new server is up and running! We are NOT go-live yet, we need more testing. EVERYTHING ON THE OLD SERVER STAYS THE SAME UNTIL GO-LIVE! I need to know if the new server lags, when it lags, how much tnt blowing up it can survive, etc. I need as many ppl on doing as much as they can at many times. TEMPORARY SERVER ADDRESS: surfrock66.yourhda.com

For that end...it's a backup of our world and you can abuse it however you want. Please though, keep 2 things in mind from me:

This is a test, and the 2 servers will be merged likely next weekend, so don't spend a ton of time getting used to different worlds, we're not splitting the community or anything
I will likely upgrade the test server to 1.4.2 and use a dev bukkit, as a test.
Be careful which server you log in to! Don't log into the real server and blow things up thinking it's this one!
When we go live...I'll update the MOTD with a "NO TNT!" order.

So, few other things/known bugs!

There is no dynmap right now, but when I get it set up, the temporary address will be "surfrock66.yourhda.com:50723"
The web irc client won't work right now with the new server, but you can connect with another client at address "surfrock66.yourhda.com" at port 50730 to channel #minecraft
Stats and blocklogging are dead. We may have an issue...I can't connect to my db but that may be a result of a few things, I'll work on that.

Please report any problems here, I need to know so I can fix before we go live! It's useful info to say "we had an issue with it lagging with 5 people on at XXXYYY time on XXXYYY date!

ROADMAP

Repeated and ongoing stress testing of server and network.
DONE: Implement a test upgrade to 1.4.2 on the new server, with a development build of bukkit - On target for Thursday/Friday
12/12 DONE: Implement a test upgrade of all of our plugins - On target for Thursday/Friday
DONE: Test MySQL connection for BlockLog and BeardStats, which involves taking the old server down temporarily (as we believe it has a lock on writes to the DB). On track for potentially early Saturday morning
DONE: Re-implement changes to the permissions nodes that I have been super delinquent on updating...ideally after all plugins are updated. On track for Friday or Saturday.
DONE: Update Noob World by copying the dome to fresh chunks and implementing spawn protect - On track for anytime after the 1.4.2 dev build and worldedit are ready to go. WHEN TESTING WAS COMPLETE, I ALSO SUCCESSFULLY TESTED THE AUTO-RESET NOOB-WORLD SCRIPT.
ROLLOUT! This involves STOPPING the old server, performing a full backup, restarting the old server (which at this point is griefable), transferring the backups to the new hardware (likely 10GB) which will take hours, then unzipping old files and initiating the new server with a DON'T GRIEF HERE message. Once it's live and connectable, initiate the DNS move so "mc.teh3l3m3nts.com" points to the new server, then wait 24 hours and discontinue the old server. ON TRACK FOR LATE SUNDAY!

TESTING UPDATE 1! As much as it's fun, blowing everything up isn't very scientific. For example...at legion base on the test server, there's a loop of sponge-water-lava-tnt that is just causing death. If someone is at legion base, the world crashes. I'm restoring a backup now. HOWEVER it did inspire me to construct a more controlled test which MadBrains saw...I used worldedit at the cheatarena2 to set off a sphere of tnt at every radius 1-15, and both servers performed about the same in-game. Here's the logs from the tests to see rough timecodes.

TESTING UPDATE 3! Major progress tonight. Worked out details of worldguard/worldedit/factions discussion and put it to administrators. Set up the new noob world, created its backup, reconfigured all the multiverse crap. Tested auto-restore script for noob world...works great. Also restored the super-old unused worlds for old times sake. Also sent a message to my host to hopefully work out the mysql problems with blocklog and beardstat. I tested the incremental backup plugins on the new server...working great. Finally, I actually had a real downtime that I was able to test the monitoring scripts I wrote...work like a charm. I would say we are completely ahead of schedule.

The 1.4 Pretty Scary update has been released. If you update your client you won't be able to connect to the server until CraftBukkit catches up and we can update the server. When will CraftBukkit be updated? More info on backing up your client can be found below.

As always, here's the Official Feature List and the often-more-useful Wiki feature and bug list. Also, for everyone asking when Bukkit will be updated, here's their status: Bukkit Dev Status.

BUILDING CONTEST

SURF UPDATE: Kirby and I discussed that this should wait until after the update...so keep checking here!

Folks it's time for another building contest! It's not too lengthy of a list of details... I hope. So here we are.

The building contest will start this Friday, October 26th 4 PM Pacific time.

The teams for this contest will be the factions (Elite, Walrus, Legion) however we are opening up a fourth independent team. This team will not necessarily become a faction, but it is for all those non-factioners out there who want to participate. It will however be a TEAM EFFORT. You can't just go off on your own, you have to work together.

(IMPORTANT) If you want to be part of this team of independents (hah oxymoron) comment so BELOW.

The contest will take place at spawn, as it is still rather empty , (yes we're basically using you as labor, but it's FUN labor) , and we need a list of structures to be built. Now, based upon how this first contest goes, this will most likely will be one of many rounds of an overall building contest. Each team will be given an instruction for building, which will be randomly placed in a chest by an owner, and selected randomly by a member of each team. The lots on which you will build these will also be assigned randomly.

You will have a total of 3 days to plan and prepare for your structure, (you may start building, but remember we want good well built structure. no half-assing) and then a week to build. Yes this contest will end on November 5th, so no dilly dallying.

Of course there is the most obvious thing on your minds, the reward. The winner (judged by our owners Gary surf and mike) will receive EITHER a substantial amount of diamonds or experience. I'm sure if you wanted some other form of payment it could be negotiated.

That looks to be about it folks, a little lengthy but hey, i don't caaaare. Happy building folks
