It amazes me how stupid some people are. A guy joined my post-apocalyptic build and thought it was a failed server because you start inside a ruined building. FAIL.
This update is more for the admins on the server. I added a /lock command - this basically sets the maps rank to 200. So in the middle of a grief attack if you use /lock you can stop everyone (except other admins) and ban the people responsible. Then use /unlock to set the map back to it's previous rank - I think it'll be a nice addition to the existing tool set that we have.
I also added an Original Sand material open for everyone, even guests. Due to the fact that it was asked for and also it means we can play sand-pit again. It updates 10 times per second so if it seems a little laggy it's because the physics updates aren't instantaneous. In addition to which if you place lots of sand on top of each other then set them all off some may just vanish if 2 sand blocks try to update the same tile at the same time however, this situation is very rare. One other bug is that it doesn't work over bed-rock there needs to be at least 1 layer of material below the block otherwise it doesn't update I know why this is but I don't want to fix it because last time I tried it decided to make a tunnel all the way to the bottom of the map -.-
~~~~~~~~
Summary version: Admins can now /lock and /unlock maps to everyone below admin level. Everyone can now build sand with the original physics (/material original sand) - slightly buggy but works well enough to not warrant a bug fix. ~~~~~~~~
The server became unreachable for reason unbeknownst to me, but after some fiddling about with the regular stuff I decided to try and ping the server locally using it's LAN Server address - low and behold, the server was unreachable even locally. Confused I am, as to why. But I've changed the local server address now and it seems to be working all right again.
In the event that the server is unreachable again, Telestro has a copy of the sports map and will host in Nexus' place.
I'll play the role of the one guy who always argues that one solution to the last breath.
I still think that we should have a plain build server, and for those who show they are
good-minded and are trustworthy, allow them to enter a semi-private Victory Only server.
From there they can work on any possible application builds or just chat with the Victorians.
i hate to say it but the victory server seems to have lost its "architectural excellence" and the move to D3 was great but i dont really like it... perhaps its just me. i think victory needs to do some soul searching to find out what we really want, does it really matter that we have the best server online? the best server software? has victory lost its values? what happened to the good ol' days, when we would sit around for hours waiting for ste to reply something in the default console chat box lol, or having a luxurious server without all the fancy doodads...
like i said maybe its just me... but my opinion still stands :smile.gif:
Hell, we haven't been able to keep the server online for the last while, I don't disagree with making some changes though. I wish we didn't have to lose the /pget tool though. :sad.gif:
seems asthough its dying... ill only really go one if like 6+ people are on, i too would enjoy a nice vanilla server go retro find the true meaning of victory :biggrin.gif:
MAKE A HUB MAP/FINISH CAKE. If people can't see that there are portals in the MOTD, they probably aren't the best builders. A VERY SMALL GUEST MAP. 64 cubed max. People should build quick, get promoted, then leave this map forever. MAKE A SHOWCASE MAP THAT'S ARCH+ FOR PROMOTIONAL USES/AWESOME STUFF Hub used to be awesome. This map will be what hub used to be.

Minecraft isn't about what you build, it's about building it.
You know, I miss the days when the stuff people built was cool. Now I go on Nexus and I'm the only Admin who's recently been on, there are maybe 3 people, at least one of which is griefing and another is drawing swastikas or penises or whatever. There are still a few cool builds, such as the giant bonsai tree house thing and someone built a huge castle thing, but lately all I see are big square buildings with no originality at all. I wouldn't mind having a Victory only server personally, for those reasons. I want to get on a server and be impressed, and with the amount of griefing (sponges for instance) and stuff on Nexus, I think the first impression someone will get is, "Do they even care?" I would like to see our server the most popular because of friendly admins that are frequently on, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

The problem is that both Zuriki and SteGriff are now too busy to constantly be on the server to deal with any issues dealing with griefing and player questions. To solve this, we really need a second admin who can fill in for Zuriki.

iam on at least once a day and i remove a lot of griefed buildings that aren't recognizable or just some random blocks.
but theres still too much.
the hub map has to be changed somehow.
if someone griefs should he be allowed to come back on if he apologizes or should he be banned?
i think everything that flows like live water, lava and sand should only be accesible to trusted builders +.
i have seen a lot of griefing using sand and lava lately.
EDIT:iam sorry to say to those who have built this building that it has been griefed again, i just banned the person responsable but he had already done a lot of damage.
Type in /pget and delete a block. It will tell you who placed it, and then put the block back.
Type in /pget and place a block in an empty space where a block used to be. It will tell you who deleted it.
Who built that swastika? /pget it. Who spammed fans? /pget em. Who made this epic sprite? /pget it. Who tore this hole in my wall? /pget it.

Edit: Oops, I had a brain wave, changed some router settings and it should work again now.

thats all for now, i tried /playerundo but it failed... im guessing its just too much to erase... you should reset the map zuri xD

like i said maybe its just me... but my opinion still stands :smile.gif:
i thought it was fixed?
but theres a small room in the hub where its sponge free.
yeah... not much else to say xD

Also, Zuriki really needs to step up as admin and make a hub map. If people can't figure out a hub map, do we want them griefing and/or building?
