I'm kind of surprised...the test server is working out better than I thought. I'm gonna put the real map up there some time today. If you see the map changed, don't blow it up :) I took the most recent backup from this morning of the servercraft version...also all our homes and such should be restored when I get to it.

Temporary Address: surfrock66.yourhda.com

Until then, I need to see how functional this really is. Please fill out this survey over the next few days...submit multiple times if you would. More data = better assessment if this is a long term solution.

By The Way: Wanna see what we have to host the server? Here's a backup of our configuration to play with: Server.Config.Backup.zip

Here's the new version! Most of you will probably prefer v1.1, but I did this one without the Painterly Pack. (Only the armor differs from default in this one.) It will eventually get awesomer, I promise! Enjoy and let me know what you think. Feedback really helps!

Morate's Pack v2.1

UPDATE and REQUEST: Testing the config to move hosts. Can people connect to surfrock66.yourhda.com to see if it's working? Assume this is not the map we'll keep, it's just a test setup. Expect mega lag...this is coming from my house :o

Also, it appears everyone is a noob when they join, this is temporarily by design. I need to figure out how I can add users and change their groups in a way more efficient than McMyAdmin. I'm collecting data.

FINAL UPDATE: People signing in momentarily gave me what I need. I think the config is all set. Can people PLEASE connect to surfrock66.yourhda.com to see if it's playable (I know it's lag...it's my residential internet) and if there's any bugs. If not...VPS here we come.

OK REALLY LAST UPDATE: Is playing on this really so bad? It's running out of my house...play on the test server for a day or 2 and at different times. I wanna see how running the server out of my house plays...I assume it'll suck, but it seems good so far. If it's playable for 24 hours...I'd much rather host it here for FREE than pay anyone else to host it :)

Short answer? I don't know! We keep crashing the server...it's random plugins. Each time I disable the offender plugin...it crashes again with a different one. Problem is, these are really severe crashes...the whole virtual machine needs a reboot, which I have to submit a ticket for and wait for the host. Hence all the downtime.

McMyadmin just updated as well...it's possible that's the offender itself. Most people use a permissions plugin that reads a config file, then distributes groups and permissions...McMyAdmin has it's own permissions and groups thing...which then EXPORTS the config file to the plugin for other plugins to read. I think THAT is the broken process. The last plugin I disabled is the new permission manager, PermissionsBukkit. There's actually an old one we used to use (Permissions) but it's been discontinued, but it still kind of worked. Everyone says "move to PermissionsBukkit!" so we did...but now we constantly crash.

Conclusion...I'm working on it. A lot of this is waiting for the host. If this goes on for much longer...we'll move to someone NOT using mcmyadmin, which IMHO over complicates things. SORRY!

Well this made me smile, i think we know who the real noob is... :)

and i remember when we had the classy griefers like audr09.

How the griefing race has gone downhill since, its quite sad :/

Looking Hot!
