    posted a message on Lag, but not from lack of memory
    Quote from mctimils

    I allocated less RAM to the server and when i joined the game i played fine again for about 15 seconds where i received the "[Warning] Cant keep up! DId the system time change or is the server overloaded?" message which was then followed by incredible lag with block loading, placement, and removal. is use of a different computer the only solution?


    Yes since from what you said, you obviously cannot run both a server and a client at the same time. It is never recommended to run both the server and the client on the same machine. Unless you have a decent amount of RAM. To check if my theory is true, ask your friends if they lagg on the server (When you have the max amount of available RAM on the server) If it doesn't, it means you'll either need more RAM and a better CPU on your computer or a new machine to host your server with.

    posted a message on REALLY bad lag.
    Quote from tylerb1997

    I just have a crappy laptop.

    2gb ram with a 1.8 Ghz processor.

    When I run a server, skype and minecraft, it obviously lags.

    My computer usage is at 100% and my ram is at 80% roughly.

    Any ways that you know how to bring that down a little?


    From what you said, I'd tell you to close some programs if you want to run MineCraft. You don't have a good enough CPU / enough RAM on your comp to run both, I'd recommend you to not use a laptop to play games since the CPU isn't good enough to do multi-tasking and there's not enough RAM.

    posted a message on Plugin and server help
    Ok to be honnest, I have "found" a mix of plugin which I use to allow people to sell/buy land.

    First use worldguard and worldedit to protect your land (With the WorldEdit CUI mod that's even easier) and then I tell people to give me money and I give them the permission on the land. That's what I would say the manual way. I haven't looked for any plugin but I guess you could do your own searches on the bukkit "get plugins" section of their website.

    I WILL GIVE YOU PERMISSIONS HELP


    IF YOU NEED ANY HELP with your permissions or need a pre-made permissions file I could send you one or help you in general with creating one. I use PERMISSIONS EX so you would also be using it. So if you need any help with your server im basically your multi-tool. I would also like to become an admin of a nice server :tongue.gif:




    LEAVE A RESPONSE BELOW



    *sigh*

    First off, if people need help they'll ask for it. Also if you really want to help people on permissions, there's plenty of people asking for help on the bukkit forums.

    posted a message on Server Connection Issue
    Quote from xDivineLegenD

    So me and my roommate both run off of the same network. I host a server on my machine but he can't connect to my server. (Outside people can). I have whitelisting off, my ports are forwarded, and the server is basically as open as possible. Any suggestions?

    To clarify we have tried the external ip, and ipv4


    Ouch seems kinda strange. You both have paid accounts? Have you tried connecting with localhost? Other than that, I'll need more information to help you.

    Quote from Malorajan

    I see far too much room for abuse due to not liking someone on something like this.


    "Every week, the list will be officially published, server admins can download the file and put it in their server file"

    This means that they release a list of people that hacked on a certain server. Which means its still up to the servers admin to ban someone or not.

    posted a message on Lag, but not from lack of memory
    Quote from mctimils

    ok so me and like three buds have a Minecraft server going, i run it off a 32 bit windows comp. and i allocated more ram to the server with a batch file, all is good... wrong. The server says i still have 88% memory free and when ever i join the game i start with normal speed game play, only to be greeted in about 15 seconds with unplayable lag. Im new to server hosting and would appreciate any tips on how to fix the sudden lag.


    Your problem is the RAM, but not the one on the server, the one on your comp. Your server have enough RAM to load and run correctly I guess, but the problem is the RAM left for your client. A good way to solve this would be to host your server on another machine, you could also get more RAM on your computer or close some applications running and allocate less RAM to the server.

    But would that cause the server to actually be unable to be restarted?

    Because so far we haven't been able to actually get it running again


    What does it says? OutDated server? I could help but I need more info. If it says outdated server, that means that there's a new minecraft_server.jar up so just download that from http://www.minecraft.net/download

    posted a message on Send commands from terminal into server
    Quote from Ochie

    Hey Everyone,

    Current System
    Ubuntu 11.04
    Dual Core 3.0 GHz
    6GB of DDR3 RAM

    These are some features I have been trying to pull together for research. Throw at me any info or tips that may reduce this list and make some not important any longer. As I may be trying to make this run to automated but...its Linux so why not.

    I want to use cron to do the following.
    1. Close Connections to the port I am using.
    2. Shut Down Server
    3. Create Backup of server
    4. Restart Server after backup is complete (most likely will base this on time not a completed process)

    All that is easy right? cron could do that all very simply. My only issue is sending the "save-all" command to the server. Also I want to send a say command informing of the upcoming shutdown...say 1 min then 30 secs then 15 secs then it shuts down. Then within 1 minute it is back up again.

    The only real issue here I think is the sending the server commands when it is running...I am a intermediate Linux person. I can run or figure out what i need usually but I don't usually need to use the terminal in this way. I was playing with the screen command but I dont think that is what I need.

    Thanks for the look!



    Wouldn't a plugin be able to do that stuff for you (Such as Minebackups)? Or am I miss understanding something

    Quote from IbuuykTGN

    I want to create a server with the following worlds.

    -creative
    -survival
    -pvp factions

    But how can i keep the creative people in creative mode when they go on that world and make it so they cant bring the item from creative to any other world. Any suggestions are wanted!


    First, use Bukkit, not vanilla to run your server.

    Second, there's everything you'll need to know about how to install it (read the wiki), just read it carefully.
    http://www.bukkit.org/

    Third, Go on the "Get Plugins" section of the website and search for the plugins you want. You'll need a multi-world plugin, a faction plugin, World Edit, World Guard, permissions, etc.

    And please, do not use Hamachi! People hate using it and if you want a big server, Hamachi wont be able to run it. Go on http://www.portforward.com to learn how to forward ports and bind your server on your Internal IP address (Can be gotten from the CMD by typing ipconfig /all and looking in the IPV4 section) and connect with your external (Can be gotten from http://www.portforward.com )

    I hope I helped.

    posted a message on Notch Jeb i have just lost a lot of respect for you
    Quote from skyace66

    accoring to a new tweet by JEB http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/statuses/124201530856452096

    skyworld has been saced for the ender. seriously WTF. Notch has promised this to us for a LONG time and right when he's supposed to add it(after Nether became more usefull) he completely changes it for something totally differnt.

    and on top of that, they are pratically taunting the generation code for old skyworld in everybodys face in the pre-release going "you want this? to bad!"

    you know, maby i would be more okey with it if they gave us a bit of a heads up and werent so spontanious. I mean Notch said at PAX for 1.8 he would add skyworld soon and than ditches the idea completely. and in all honesty, why cant we have both?

    P.S before people start going "we told you so" you did that claiming it was fact without any actual proof, this is the first time Notch or Jeb have said anything about it so just back off



    You know that there's some ways to spawn a sky world on SMP / SP with some plugins/mods

    posted a message on Port-forwarding through a school network?
    Quote from palcontent

    Hey all,

    I'm looking to host a server for myself and friend from here at school, where I access the internet via the school's wireless network. However, I'm not sure how to solve the problem of port-forwarding, since I have no access to the school's routers. I'm not especially knowledgeable in this field to begin with, but I'm hoping there's a way to solve this snag. Thanks!


    Use Hamachi. Since it is way easier to connect when port forwarding isn't an option.
