At the moment there is no way of turning off creepers off it's all monsters or none.
But are you not ment to go outside at night only if your full armed with arrows is that not part of the game ?

Yes I can give you loads of leaf blocks I will place a chest at the base of the tree house later.

 

[garsands]

i have built a wall round most of the spawn, it still needs finished and lit up and someone needs to make street lighting within the wall boundary so that mobs can't spawn inside.

they only explode if you're next to them, in the fort i just used to lead em out to an open area where they wouldn't damage anything.

^^ Windle & Tefal have been telling you what you need to do so I am not sure what the problem is
The fort is very well lit.

outdated client

Try now I have just been on, also it now saves the servers IP but it does not work for me if I use the saved one it says 'outdated client'
But if I type it in like we have been doing it works.

 

[garsands]

Also Gar is there any chance you could deposit a load of leaf blocks

Whats your player name Bes ? I can then setup a /protect chest with logs & leaf blocks. This will not be done till later tonight 10.30pm.

Anyway, as im out - ive a ton of good minerals, I mean 100+ Diamond, same for Redstone, Obsidian, Gold etc.

Keep them you will need them when you come back.
The 100+ Diamonds must have taken sometime to mine & find some of the dupers can make them easly so they would not need them.
The ones that don't like to dupe will not want them as they like to find them.

Minecraft: Increased Lag
Dec 02 2010 17:33:47 by liv3d
We've been tracking down the increased lag people have been seeing with minecraft servers & believe the cause to be this update from Tuesday:
* Increased chunk saving frequency on the server
The issues caused by this come down to the server saving world data more often, as such creating a higher Input/Output on the machines hard drives which leads to lag issues

 

[garsands]

Thanks Gar. It is sambessey.

If you want to chuck in a few coal too, that would also be great

Done

Thanks for the support.

Once my ban is over ill pop on and not use flint again, just incase Takeo accuses me of giving the world AIDs or something

When did your ban start & who banned you ?

Dec 04 2010 14:20:34 by Deehem
We've now rolled out the latest Minecraft (0.2.8) and hMod (131) update. Please restart your server to pick these changes up.

The 0.2.8 changes include:


Added /kill command. Does 1000 points damage to the player
Did some patching client side to prevent duplicated entities
The join server page now remembers the port as well as the ip
Fixed a bug where joining a server on a specific port caused the client to forget all keybindings
Added lakes and rare lava pools, both on the surface and randomly in caves.
Fixed a crash bug when destroying the vehicle from under a player
Players connecting to a server or respawning are invulnerable for three seconds

whilelist updated

could i get on the whitelist ?

Your player name would be ?

.......And garsands will cry every time he tries to do a render........

!

 

[garsands]

I could add the Borderlands mod to limit the map size but players like to explore & not everyone wants to build next to each other.
A few players have used whole islands to build on they could not do things like this if the map was limited.
I can add /warp points to make moring about easyer.

UPDATE: We've been in contact with the developers of Minecraft and made them aware of this issue. They plan on adding a configurable option to change this frequency on Monday. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue.

I have no probs with new blood on the server this is why.....

We seem to have a lot of players that build something on the server then leave never to be seen again I say over 50% of players have done this, some then return 3 weeks later only to vet there anger on here coz there building has been set on fire or has huge holes have damaged there buildings.
I have no time for these players if your just going to logon & build something then leave for weeks do we really need you ?
They don't mantain there buildings I have buildings on there server that have been on fire for weeks, I have holes in paths & side of walls that have been there for over a week.
Soon I am going to start pulling any buildings that have just been left in a state because there owners can't even be bothered to matain or even log back on to the server every now & again.
This is why I protected a large space around the spawn so I did not have these players that just seem to want to make there mark on the server then leave.
It's the same players that come back weeks later & start blaming players for damaging there work.
I hear this .......
Whos set my house on fire ...................... If your not going to be very bright & use lava & wood next to each other then your house is going to go up in flames when the mod no longer works due to a patch (btw the lava mod is no longer used on the server due to this)
Whos made a huge hole in my house or whos made a creeper blow up in my house............. How about YOU matain your own house YOU logon to the server every other day to make sure it's up togeather YOU make sure your house is now monster proof.
If your house starts to look like a mess becasue YOU don't matain it then other players are not going to matain it for YOU.

So I welcome one post poster on to the server I like one post posters more then I like players with 100 posts who build then leave not to be seen for weeks just so they can make there mark on the server.

People seem to think if a player only has one post then they are going to start messing with others work, someone with 100 post can do that just as much & it just as much of a risk.

If you are new to player minecraft online & but you have been playing it off line then please remember online play is very much broken it's more in alpha then single player, yes there is lag, yes there are bugs, the lag is not server lag it's due to buggy minecraft coding.

 

[garsands]

I was going to turn off fall & damage by lava today thinking it would come under the PVP setting but it does not so it can't be turned off.
I have looked at mods but there doe's not seem to be one.

 

[garsands]

Where as someone whos been on this forums for longer would not want to risk being hated on the forums which he has been a member for a long time.

But they can do this when no one is on the server with out being caught with no risk.

You wonder why people build stuff then leave for weeks, perhaps its because they don't want to make something on a server that has griefers ruining their work.

I never knew we had griefers ruining players work.
I know we have players happy to blame players for doing damage before they look at the facts first.

I don't wonder why people build stuff & never return I never said I did.
They build stuff & never return due to wanting to make there mark on the server, getting fed up with new bugs, (block lag, server lag, mosters they cant see killing them, house going up in flames due to lava & wood, bored ect.

The players building stuff & never returning is a common problem with minecraft servers if you look on the minecraft forums where players are listing there server for new players they say they don't want players who just build something & leave they want players that are going to stay.

Yes I pay for the server & yes I am not going to please everyone & I am not even going to try.

 

[garsands]

We need new blood on the server there are over 100 players on the whitelist but each night we have 7 - 10 players on I say 8% of the whitelist.

Thoses 8% are stickers that play the game 4+ days aweek they know each other now & help each other out.

So by going by past history we need 100 new players to find 10 more new stickers how are we going to find new players ?

I have never told anyone about this server outside of this Forum & nor am I going to this is why I do not wish to turn away 1 posters.

The rule of only letting player on the whitelist if they have 250 posts and 3 months since registering would have been broken already in the same post that the rule was made.

**Dickyb0b being an exception, he appears to be a class A troll all over these forums**

The rule is based on, You have less then 250 post so you are going to destory others work, now you have over 250 post you are no longer going to destory others work.

Post count has nothing to do with what type of person someone is, some people don't like posting on forums so this means they can't play ?
Some people also have nothing to post about it took me 12 months to get over 250 posts, I have the power to wipe the map & never return I can do that even if I have 10,000 posts.

I can /protect anyones work I have never said no when someones ask me to do this for them I do it with in 5 mins.
This stops players work getting damaged other then creeper damage which I think is now getting less as at first players did not know how to handle them, also they now make a SSSSsssssss sound to help.

The server will never run out of slots or space to build on, I have just dropped the slots to 14 as it was a waste of money paying for slots that are never used

 

[garsands]

im new blood
(if i ever get added to list it is)

I added you 2 hours ago

 

[garsands]

Last week we had a player whos been a member since 2008 with 871 post
posting that a player whos been a member since 2009 with 502 post has been griefing.

They both meet the rule of 250 post 3 months membership.

But one must be in the wrong.

I have not seen such a post about a member whos had less then 250 posts.
No one has anymore right to play on this server then anyone else it is open to anyone who is a OcUKFroum member.

 

[garsands]

tell me about, i left a sign under my starship as i got so fed up with it.

Both can easly be fix just ask for your buildings to be /protected

Not sure I agree about the 1 poster thing, but Garsands has done a really good job of managing the server so far, so I'll be quiet on that subject now .

Would this before 1 poster siewwanlinda sees what you have just said ?
If the rule was in place there would be no siewwanlinda playing on the server !

 

[garsands]

i dont really want to have the ground protected just to stop people building up to it. shouldnt have to.

I think that the proof shows that you do have to , you have a huge starship in the air players are going to wonder whats inside.

Then why not ask for a /warp point to be placed inside your starship with a sign on the ground telling players of the warp points name ?

I am trying to help you out here

 

[garsands]

Creepers don't explode by themselves do they. i.e. they need a player close to explode. I'm just trying to figure out the giant hole in the side of my dome.

Thats right they need a player next to them, but this does not mean someone draged a creeper to your done just to mess your workup.

They are called a creeper as they do just that, you can be standing looking around then next thing you hear a SSSSSssssssssss.............

So best thing to do is make it so they can't spawn near to your buildings, lots of torches, walls, water, fences ect
