    Wow, I finally think I'm getting somewhere.

    Everyone that has gotten an invite has been assigned to a group.

    Ratchet, zombie and Jarrett- I'll pm you all the IP in a sec.


    I still want to find out how to enable flight for only some groups without using Spout. I use ZOMBE's mod pack which I am a big fan of but I haven't found a way to limit only certain players..

    I have lots more to do but I think I'm far enough to start building my Spawn.

    If anyone wants to help I'll see you on the server :biggrin.gif:

    Hey soccerman, I'll pm you the ip in just a few minutes.

    I'm sorry the progress is so slow guys. I didn't expect to whip it all together overnight but this is taking longer than I expected. The world should be accessible and I have posted my Skype name at spawn. If anyone wants to help out please hit me up on skype.

    Same problem here, bro. I was afraid it was my fault because it started right as a I restarted my server D:


    I;m just now setting up my first server and I thought I messed something up. After restarting the server about 6 times I noticed the yellow text on the games welcome screen reads "SEEECRET FRIDAY UPDATE"

    Well that was quick.. I just found a video on how to load a world via ftp. All I had to do was drop the world folder into the hgsbackups folder and SNAP!! Back in business :biggrin.gif:.. well sort of. The world in /hgsbackups is accessible, but the server hasn't built world or nether folders in the root directory. I'm really tempted to wipe and start over, but I don't know if that's even possible on a remotely hosted server.

    I got logged in but it's still a mess though. I can't use /tp, I didn't try anything else yet (at work atm) but I can fly..

    Just wanted to update you guys that I did make a little progress. I could really use an experienced admin to help clear up some confusion, if anyone has time later on tonight please let me know.


    Thanks :smile.gif:

    ccgreen1, thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that. Initially my permIssions tree will be very simple, probably only 5 or 6 classes.

    Unfortunately though guys, I made much bigger trouble for myself last night. I'm sure once I get past this it will be a good learning experience.. Last night I had just finished entering all the WorldEdit permissions, and gave myself "*". Well none of the WE commands worked :sad.gif: they would return either an "invalid command" message or a snippet of Java script, regardless none of the WE commands had the desired results.

    So I tried a few logical things, I ended up finding a couple tabs in the yml and removed them all. Changed my mod from bukkit back to minecraft_server.. Nothing worked. So I thought maybe this all had to do with my previous failed attempt to rename my world. I say failed because when I renamed it everything still worked but the game still referred to itself as "world".

    I did a little reading and everything I read sounded like it was no big deal to delete your world and let the server build a new one so I deleted my AuthentiCity, world and world_nether folders and started my sever, waited, waited some more.. A new world was never built. Again I tried many if the logical things. I even downloaded minecraft_server.jar and ran it on my local machine then tried to drop the world from it into my server, no frickin love :sad.gif: 11 files in the world don't transfer preventing the world folder from being written.


    So this is where I'm at, working for the next 7 hrs and a borked MC sever to try to fix when I get off :/

    It good to hear that the server pre-work on the server will becomeing soon. I hope to hear from you any time this next few days and do wish to hear more about the server. May the server work by the week.



    Oh the server works :biggrin.gif: Quite well actually. I'm just not ready to open the gates. Being so new to this I feel like my precious new world is vulnerable and it is incumbent upon me to make sure she's ready before I let anyone in.

    I got WorldEdit perms sorted out, working on WorldGuard.. much more confusing :sad.gif:

    If anyone has gtalk and an in depth understanding of WG perms and a few minutes to spare hit me up: [email protected]


    ps. LOTR ftmfw. I would love to see some castles, hobbit homes, towns surrounded by wood walls and forest. Something else I've been contemplating is a treehouse, I mean treevillage like in the movie Avatar. It would have to be started very low, close to the void.

    other thing you might want to think of when generating is strongholds on or off what may effect 1.9 content if off. as well as the nether.




    Would you mind elaborating on strongholds and how they may affect 1.9?

    Ben657 showed me the nether :smile.gif: I don't really know what to think of it. Maybe a good place to send people who misbehave?

    Hey guys, thanks again for all the interest :smile.gif:.

    The whitelisting process is going to be a little delayed :sad.gif: But ONLY because I underestimated the time it is taking to build the member classes :/ I've already added several plugins and am looking for a few more. I want to be thorough and do this "right". Once I get the classes straightened out I'll start inviting members. At that point we'll have a few things to decide.. Do we keep the world that's been generated or should we do another with a seed? I will eventually post the server IP publicly so anyone can come in but I want to be VERY thorough in our plan to welcome as well as contain guests. I don't intend to spend a lot of time being pissed of and fixing grief, I DO intend to spend as much time as we need to build a system of prevention and containment. Of course once people earn ranks they will get the goods. There will be architectural (welcome center & guest sandbox) as well as preventive policies (plugins, permissions, etc) to consider.

    I've decided there will be Four Founders that will serve as ultimate authority in AuthentiCity as long as they like. The Founders will be the four people who show the most interest, help the most with setting everything up. They will essentially be the four people who truly want the titles the most. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not trying to spark a competition. I simply intend to hold off on appointing those positions until later in the project.

    Some of your app responses are funny. In all the years since I first heard Beck's "Where It's At" I have never once thought "male genitalia".. smh. lol.
    I asked that question because I see a lot of MC players are very young and frankly it's not terribly relevant to me how old anyone is. However.. I am in this game to enjoy it, not babysit.


    I'll be sending out PM's over the next few days. Hopefully we'll be open to public in a week or so :biggrin.gif:



    ccgreen1, thanks for teh rundown. Sounds like I'll want a sort of hybrid. I'll probably classify it as a tame survival server with some mods allowed :smile.gif:


    sheesh, setting all this up is MUCH fun :biggrin.gif:

    Hey guys, Great to see some interest in AuthentiCity :smile.gif: I have to admit I realized after the fact that this subforum was under Survival Servers but there isn't a Starting Up section in the Creative Servers forum. This is going to be Creative, at least for a while. Actually I might not completely understand the difference between creative and survival.. I don't want to deal with any monsters while we're getting the world started, afterwards the administration can discuss the creative/survival topic. I would like to implement some systems like maybe currency and jobs or something. Higher ranks will get all the goods but I want people to work their way up for increasing privileges.
    I'm sorry if this changes anyone's interest in the server.

    Jnerd and bmo 2623, I like the sound of your building styles. At the moment my server has been active for less than 24 hours and I'm on a self induced crash course learning all about MC admin'ing. I'd like to invite both of you to join the server once it's ready. Until then I really need help from some experienced MC admins who have time to show me some ropes.

    Now Hiring

    - posted 1/22/12 -

    I have been getting a lot of questions about how to rank up and if there is anything people can do to help the server..


    There are ways you can rank up, ways you can help and gain respect on the server and some ways you avoid getting banned:

    The BEST way to rank up is to build something awesome. Build something impressive (bigger is NOT always better)that people would want to visit. Quality building is rewarded more than anything else.
    Follow the rules, pay attention and get to know the server and our community.
    DO NOT CHEAT. Trying to prevent all forms of cheating is a tedious and frustrating endeavor I do not wish to pursue. If you cheat you will eventually get caught and get banned.

    JOBS

    I have decided to open some positions for specific jobs on the server. These are for people who will be around for a while. I wouldn't want to reward someone for taking a job they do for a week then stop visiting the server, so don't apply for the "status". Apply because you want to help the server.

    We need writers!- There are many books that need to be written. They will be explaining how to use plugins and how to get along in the server. Handbooks and information to help newcomers. They should be written so they are easy to understand, not as though they were copied and pasted from the plugins bukkit dev site. Also they don't have to be comprehensive, they can explain the basic of how to use something or do something.
    You will have to learn how to use the plugin Bookworm. It's not that hard just read and practice. No offense but I will not teach you how to use it. A staff member in AuthentiCity should be able to find answers and learn stuff on their own.
    If you write and want to submit a book for review please DO! Write it in game and I'll get a copy for review. There are no guarantees your book will be placed in the AuthentiCity Library, but if it is informative and easy to understand then it probably will :smile.gif:

    Tasks are separated by which job will be performing them. Jobs WILL NOT be awarded before some commitment to the job is shown. Essentially: write a book/perform a task, if its good enough (for books: if we put it in the server library) then you will be promoted to whatever job the task belongs to and you will be paid in game for future efforts relative to your job. For example I may pay you $50 for the next book, let's see those negotiating skills! :tongue.gif:

    NOTE!! Bookworm can be very tedious to work with but when you get the hang of it it's not so bad. These books need to be polished well edited documents. You need to understand how to use all of the features of bookworm before you begin. I expect spelling and grammar to be impeccable. I expect the text to be informative, easy to read and tastefully witty if possible. Plugin dev.bukkit pages can be a great resource for info, obviously. In the books we want to capture the most relevant and helpful information in a readable format, in a way that presents things as though they are part of the world and not a plugin on a server (does that make sense?).

    If I don't receive any stellar submissions in the near future then I will write the "Bookworm: How To" book. It will be a tutorial as well as an example text that is acceptable for circulation.


    AUTHORS:
    - How to write books!! Lol obvious :tongue.gif:
    - ChestShop - Need this one big time.
    - How to get promoted
    - How to get a portal to your home
    - How to rent plots in the market and elsewhere. We use SimpleRegionMarket
    - How, and why, to use Location Report signs
    - How to manage your Money (buying, selling, paying). iConomy is currently not working right.. Players can not /money pay each other :/
    - How to make a Port Cullis gate and a drawbridge
    - How to use Light Sensors, and how to integrate them with gates and bridges
    - A collection of the simpler and/or passive plugins and how to use them (powernetherrack, redstone lighting, appletree, smoothboat, etc) This one should be called something like A Collection of Conveniences.


    JOURNALIST:
    - If you write in a book then later update that book all copies of that book will be updated too. I plan to use this to provide a Newspaper book (open to name suggestions) that anyone can keep on them and stay up with the news. This periodical should have a variety of sections and I suggest trying to keep each short enough to fit on one page, and have only ONE article per page. Some ideas: New builds (either by members or staff, but have to be 100% complete and 100% awesome) announcements, Promotion announcements, Obituaries (I'm thinking this should be a MRB (Most Recent Bans :tongue.gif:) kind of thing), Contests, Classifieds (Help Wanted ads, labor for hire, housing for rent, lost/found, personals :tongue.gif: etc.), Jokes, whatever else you can think of.

    The Newspaper may be split into no more than 3 books. Journalists may hire an assistant to help gather news, write and edit. There may be more than one Journalist but there will be only ONE Journalist per book.


    PROMOTER
    -Get on the web and let people know how awesome AuthentiCity is! :biggrin.gif:
    -Take screenshot and post them where they may have some relevance.
    -Capture some video and share it with the world :smile.gif:
    -Flight will not be granted for this pursuit. If you earn flight by becoming a SuperMod then you can use it for capturing video.

    ***DO NOT MISREPRESENT MY WORK OR ANYONE ELSES!!***
    We take pride in our work. If you don't know who built it then find out before you post. If you still can't then just say it was built in AuthentiCity. Anyone caught taking credit for others work will obviously be immediately banned.


    ARTIST-
    -We could really use a cool sig banner :smile.gif: and/or logo for the server
    -Player skins!! Sometimes its fun to dress alike for battle or something, and its just cool to have a one-of-a-kind skin :tongue.gif: Maybe sell them in game! (for in game money)



    These are all I have for now. I could use some help with the tedious task of setting up all the regions in the market and some other stuff, but it all requires granting some elevated and potentially hazardous permissions. I'd rather take my time with it than enlist the help of someone who doesn't know much about WE/WG or someone I am not 99% certain I can trust.

    The application has three parts. If you wish to apply you must:

    • Be an established member of the server. I will not consider anyone who has not visited the server, is still a Guest or is a Nomad but hasn't built a home.
    • Submit an application in this thread.
    • APPLICATION:
      -IGN:
      -Desired Job:
      -Qualifications:

      -How long have you been a member of AuthentiCity:

    • (for author and journalist only)Submit an application in game by creating a book and giving me a copy to review.

    .



    Welcome to AuthentiCity.

    IP: acmc.game.nfoservers.com:25565 | 10 slots
    Ventrilo: acmc.vent.nfoservers.com:5220 | 10 slots





    AuthentiCity is a semi-vanilla survival server.

    Basic configs:
    • allow-flight=false
    • verify-names=true
    • white-list=false
    • online-mode=true
    • pvp=true
    • difficulty=1
    • gamemode=0
    • The main city is protected. It is a 900 block radius around 0,0 and is marked by a ring of sand.


      About AuthentiCity:
    • Anyone that is capable of reading the rules is capable of becoming a Nomad and as a Nomad is welcome to play and do whatever they want outside the city limits.
    • PvP is ON so beware of deviants and be prepared to defend yourself. If you are slain by another member then maybe you should consider making some armor and weapons, or building a protected safehouse.
    • There are property protection options: We have lockette for chests, doors, etc. You can use the silk touch enchantment (Silk Touch is a stock game feature, not a plugin) to obtain coal, lapis and diamond ore blocks and use them for region protection thanks to the plugin Protection Stones.
    • You are responsible for the security of your work. If you don't protect your property and it gets griefed or your stuff gets stolen then don't come crying, you have been warned.
    • This is survival gameplay. DO NOT ask for items. If you need an iron pickaxe then go punch trees until you get enough wood to make a wood one, then find some iron.
    • NO you can not use /home or /tp commands. There are convenient portals set up and you have legs that work just fine. You cannot tp away from a fight, you cannot go forraging across hundreds of chunks then just tp back home. Use the portals if you like and if you go exploring then be aware of your location. There is no rule against making a note of your homes coordinates or using compasses.
    • I will be working on vendor plots, condo homes, storage lockers and loft apartments available for rent or purchase in the world market which is just outside spawn.
    • I also plan to lay out some neighborhoods with plots for sale and/or rent in the city.
    Ranks: *each player group inherits the permissions of the previous group*

    • Can play survival mode outside the city limits. No restrictions.
    • Can use and create Chest Shops

    • Can rent and buy properties
    • Can place Location Report signs. Use these signs to let us know where you have settled (if you want) or to report grief or other suspicious activity.

    • Player must be a Nomad for at least 7 days before becoming eligible for Citizenship.
    • Players must have established some sort of property (home, mine, farm, etc) to become eligible for Citizenship.
