it's not even midday

Indeed, but my free time to work on server stuff is massively lower in the evenings.

 

[FrenchTart]

I might be assuming here, but do you think someone will release a new mini map for 1.8?

I really miss having it

You should check to see if Spout supports it - it would probably be okay to have the server plugin if it's Spout based.

 

[FrenchTart]

Still no bukkit updates from 8.25 this morning. Also, the bug that they supposedly fixed with 1.8.1 doesn't actually fix it for multiplayer so... :s

 

[FrenchTart]

Pretty poor. I know it's free and it's only just morning in America and they do it in their spare time or whatever, but still... They can't all be Americans working on it!

Also, client side crashes are fine by me lol...

Sorry, wrote that badly. It still crashes the server - just not the client :/

 

[FrenchTart]

It only crashed the client on my work server, but I'm missing plugins and such.

I'm just going off what is being reported on the bukkit forums:

http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/1-8-bukkit-discussion.36619/page-5

I doubt I'll have time to do stuff tonight so I wouldn't advise anyone to hold their breath in /re to the server being updated.

 

[FrenchTart]

I think I just crashed maxi's server doing the shift click chest bug. The client didn't crash though. Not sure if that's progress or not....

edit: apparently maxi's server is on 1.8 but my client is on 1.8.1 so maybe it is fixed.

That's the bug I was talking about earlier. It isn't fixed for servers :/

 

[FrenchTart]

Looks like bukkit work has recommenced and they've possibly fixed the main game-breaking issue. I'll try to get time to sort the upgrade tonight but no promises.

[FrenchTart]

..wtf?

 

[FrenchTart]

So the main issue seems to be a door glitch at the moment. I'm going to get a few things done around the house (day off work, woo) then I'll see what I can do to get things running.

 

[FrenchTart]

Just realised that there might be a bit of a problem with the nether. I suspect it'll just be accessible from the main (new) world rather than the old.

Does anyone care?

 

[FrenchTart]

1.8 test map is now up.

Lots of plugins aren't working yet so we have just put up 1.8 and enabled the basic stuff. Once Bukkit (and required plugins) are updated properly we will enable access to the old world and nether.

We may keep this 1.8 map or reset it when things go up properly. I guess it depends on how it works out.

 

[FrenchTart]

Yeah, just linktart.co.uk - you don't need to specify the port.

 

[FrenchTart]

I've not had a problem finding or seeing the server, FT. I can see how many players are on and the signal strength etc but I just can't connecting. It says connecting endlessly

Dunno what would cause that. Maybe try reinstalling minecraft and/or checking you can connect to other servers?

 

[FrenchTart]

server times out?

If ever you can't get on the first thing I recommend doing is to check here:

http://linktart.co.uk/groups/minecraft/minecraft-server/

If people are on the server chatting then you know it's something at your end

 

[FrenchTart]

Can the following people recieve a warning/ban/whatever for entering my property, stealing MY ores: mossy, diamond, iron, gold, lapis. Being a pain in the neck, and then refusing to leave once asked.

Sunlitsix.
Tostring.
Danm
Bena

Post time stamps and more details but as per previously, nobody can lay claim to mines due to the nature of the way the underground joins up.

 

[FrenchTart]

I didn't claim a mine, I claimed a dungeon and a few blocks around it for expansion, but I never claimed a mine, regardless of what they and maxi will tell you. They pretty much tore it all up, then found dim ore in a wall/floor, and took that aswell.
And destroyed the mob spawner, which I was going to use as a table/spawner

And time stamp: When did doctor who start cause that was when it happened.

I've no idea as I don't watch Doctor Who.

It also sounds like Maxi has already dealt with it.

 

[FrenchTart]

By simply saying "you cant claim a mine" when I say "I didn't, i claimed a dungeon" for quite a while, then coming up saying its a temp server etc, doesn't matter.

But really, all this does is promote the idea that if you grief, then you can get away with it tbh. It's not appropriate to say that because its a temp server rules don't apply.

And I think it may of been around 7 pm or summit. Not sure on that.

The temporary server thing is not an excuse - agreed there. However, claiming dungeons is something I'm not really sure that we support either. I'll have to discuss it with Maxi and the other admins.

 

[FrenchTart]

Dungeons are effectively cubes, if you cant claim them then private spawners won't be able to exist either. It's vastly different to claiming a cave, stronghold or mine because those are huge. Dungeons are rather small and often a good underground hideout/home.

If we can't claim dungeons, then surely we should get rid of all the private spawners people have built too? It'd only be fair, imo.

It's not really as simple as that if people have already built around an area.

I'm not saying what they did was right but it's not as simple as you're making out.

 

[FrenchTart]

Unfortunately with the test server being as it is and no logblock until bukkit updates I think all we can do is warn people and keep a close eye on them.
