I dont think many of the long-timers would be interested in a restart.
I have spent a lot of time trimming the map off of parts that were generated but never used, so now they can regenerate if anybody chooses to walk to them again (please dont make giant 1000 mile trips though)
If anybody wants their section of the world completely deleted, it can be arranged.
Like Brushfire's
The old map is now back on the server (minus my edits) , whitelist was thankfully added by MPUK so no more strangers, but i have no way to stop creepers from spawning.
If something very important gets completely destroyed, I have backups and MCEdit to help out
I was pretty careful with my editing, but if i deleted anybodies stuff, let me know
Except Brushfire.
Edit: Also note that since this is vanilla, i have no way to make colored names, reservation lists, or anything. No addons, just plain MC crappy server. I can still give the donators stuff if they need things though
-
But a normal programmer would put some sort of cap or limit and skip if its past a thresh hold especially in a game where exact physics aren't necessary. Then theres Notch lol
-
That and many, many other reasons Brush.
-
Just a hint for any weirdos wandering into the server now:
You will probably be banned. Especially if you lie about knowing me. I have no personal contacts who play Minecraft, and I would post on the forums before allowing them.
If this keeps up, I'll probably be switching back to 1.1
-
Fireslash: it would of made more sense for him to use the louder instrument for the main chord.
Bottle Rocket: aww no temp world fun? Its updated its just vanilla. Might be a while before we get bukkit
-
Okay, temp solution:
MPUK is offering a Vanilla option. Since this has servere limitations on what I can and cannot do with the server, and has a larger chance of corrupting the world: I am using it for now, BUT only with a temp world. Once Bukkit comes out, we can switch back to the beautiful modded version of the server with the old world. For now, heres some terrible Vanilla :/
Enjoy!

Well, if you make it, make sure you get the notes right unlike this guy. The last 2 notes being wrong bothers me greatly.

Well, this update is too much for someone whos not interested in working on MC stuff anymore so hey0 doesn't seem like hes going to participate in anymore updates after all
Right now Multiplay is working on making a custom version of hMod to work with this update, to tide their customers over until they and the Bukkit team can release a mature version of their complete rewrite.
They are working feverishly since the last update and hope to have something finished by the weekends end
As a reminder: The server works 100% fine right now, its just the clients that refuse to connect, unless you downgrade them.
http://www.fileplay.net/file/12487/minecraft-1-1-client
Downgrade instructions and files. I've tested it, works fine
Of course, you will no longer be able to connect to 1.2 servers and your single player 1.2 upgrades will be gone (and i probably woudn't even reoopen single player unless you upgrade your stuff back to 1.2) but if you want to play on the OCR server really bad, here you go
Edit:
Also I'll post here when its upgraded to 1.2, I'm not sure why I continously see people trying to connect, unless they are just ignoring this thread

Previously the PS3 was the last of the big systems not to have had their verification keys broken.
Correction, the Xbox 360 is still a tight vault as far as security goes. They've hacked the DVD drive's firmware many times over, but all you can do is pirate DVDs (and exact duplicates at that). A JTAG exploit was used to bypasses its security back before the NXE update, but it has been patched since then and any firmware past that cannot be JTAG'd (or downgraded, because of eFuses, unique to 360's security system). Currently no exploits exist. Nobody has found the private key.
Right now, the PS3 homebrew is your usual basic starter homebrew stuff: Emulators
Since its been cracked wide open, I imagine some innovative stuff coming from the machine in the near future. Should easily suprise what we've seen on the Wii homebrew scene considering the vast power differences
For those interested in coding, a homebrew SDK called PSL1GHT has been released
Edit/Update:
As far as the trial, the judge doesn't think just because Geohot has a paypal account that she can judge the case because paypal is based in CA.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/14/no_playstation_hacker_order/
“If having a PayPal account were enough, then there would be personal jurisdiction in this court over everybody, and that just can't be right,” Illston told James G. Gilliland Jr., an attorney representing Sony. “That would mean the entire universe is subject to my jurisdiction, and that's a really hard concept for me to accept.”Overall, if any body has read over what Sony has submited, they basically are bending the facts or flat out lying to the court. But even trying to TRO/sue him in California is ridiculous. They will have to show that CA has anything to do with Mr Hotz (who doesn't live there) or take it to another court that actually does.

You know, it's a shame we can't selectively edit out areas that nobody's currently using that are already generated so we can regenerate stuff closer to home.
Doing this is simple, if you guys want it can be done. I can do it in either MCEdit with a backup or i can just do it in WorldEdit in real time, if its ported to Hey0/Bukkit
p.s.: Server crashes me to desktop atm. Yay for servermodguy needing time to update
Did you revert your client?
-
so i've been experimenting with things to try to make things okay for those who want creepers and those who dont
Im going to use Realms to enable "safe zones" for properties that dont want Creepers, and even if they dont want mobs hurting them in their domain
Also, I've enabled some neat features:
Death Notify - just like any online game, announces your death to everybody, Fun stuff
Adventure Mode - a scoring system, the longer your alive, the more points you earn from picking up stuff and killing mobs. You can even level up and get different ranks. When you die, your high score is updated, and theres a list of the highest scores on the server
Flashlight <- i kept this from last time, if you hold a torch it lights up the area around you if you turn on /flashlight
CraftIRC <- Already had this one but just as a reminder, irc.esper.net #ocrminecraft gets all ingame messages relayed to it, and any messages there relayed back to minecraft.
Minecart Mania <- Have not got to play with this, Halcyon probably will. Ads a lot of neat features to minecarts
-
I'll probalby be turning on mobs in a few hours
Also as a reminder:
Homes have been reset, and warps are gone, for some reason they didn't move those over and they aren't in my backup
So please remember to do a /sethome if you are near your home area otherwise if you die or /spawn, you will have to walk all the way back home because /home will just take you back to spawn
I'll be working on restoring the warps, since i have to do that manually
-
suze and phal added to the whitelist.
Make sure you guys walk a good while away from spawn and nobody is around you before you set up camp
We have a crowding issue from people not moving far enough away from other people (people seem to set up shop near Aba for some reason heh)
-
Been listening to this all week. The whole album is great, but the magnificent meat shower and Forcystus really take the cake. Fantastic stuff here
-
The old world is restored!
I have mobs and damage turned off until I get home
I deleted abadoss arm so next map will be a bit smaller
I also deleted all of brushes stuff and unbanned him but set it so he cannot set blocks and just spins in circles and cries
-
Multiplay was SUPPOSE to have my backup ready today, but i switched to the worldname they gave me and it just generated a new world, so i dont know what they've done. Waiting for a responce for the ticket, AGAIN :/
Multiplay will be switching to Bukkit as soon as its mature enough, one of the members of Bukkit is actually a member of Multiplay as well, and Bukkit has some hmod team members too.
Hey0 wont stop until Bukkit is released, so we should be good
Phal: Post in THIS thread! PM is just so i know your MC name if you dont want to post it in the thread, but you still have to ask to be whitelisted and voted in by someone in this thread.
-
what's this whitelist shit
i just wanna play some minecraft damnit
Then ask to be added here in this thread!
-
I'll get right on that.
Whats your number?
-
Minecraft does technically install stuff. Look in %user%/Application Data/.minecraft
About 40MB worth of stuff, not including any extra texture packs or offline game worlds
Its honestly more so about being completely unoptimised and very poorly coded...
The game can't even run multiple instances on non-SSDs, for example.
-
Multiplay seems to work alot better for me on my laptop compared to my desktop. I was getting some really bad lag when nobody else was. But I would rather play MC on my desktop.
What can I do to improve the performance on my desktop?
What are your desktop & laptop specs?
Whatever your desktop has less of is probably the issue
-
Its all been deleted Brush. Its gone. Forever. And you are still banned.
Everybody else connects to a world full of their stuff.
Dont read any of my posts, the MOTD, etc
Its probably lies

Server has been moved to San Antonio now, which is on SSDs. You guys can play around on the temp world:
66.135.42.50:28865
I'm going to edit out Abadoss' long journey out of the map, then upload it.
Until then, stress test the server! See how you guys like it
I've got mobs, health, and pvp enabled. This world is temp until i get the real one up
-
Well, Multiplay has offered to give me a slot on the San Antonio servers since they've been upgraded to SSDs, there is no ETA on the Dallas server, so I am going to shut down the server, do another back up, and then upload the backup to the SA server. Wish me luck
Edit:
For those who keep arguing the game was ready for Beta..
the server software apparently is so entirely broken, it can not be ran alongside other copies of games (see OCR not being able to host it anymore) and especially other copies of minecraft (see terrible, terrible lag issues on non-SSDs on Multiplay)
Its fine i guess if you dedicate an entire machine to it, but its broken otherwise. You have to use Solid State Drives because the I/O portion of the software is so broken. I honestly think it broke their hard drive at this point. These kind of issues really should be looked into before moving onto another stage of the game, they weren't unknown, Multiplay spoke with notch about it who he himself confirmed it was a known issue, but apparently has not fixed. Or made it worse.
Oh well maybe it will be fixed by final (probably not)
-
experiencing some technical difficulties, trying to get it back up
EDIT:
trying to do a backup almost broke the server... our server is very sick or Minecraft is very broken or both.
Multiplay is going to be looking into why the Dallas servers have not been updated yet on monday, because they too were expecting it to be updated with SA last week or so.
Apparently theres only 2 servers left not on SSDs, LA and Dallas... lucky us!
Hang in there everybody
Also, the server is NOT responding very well while the backup is running, you may not be able to connect, you may not stay on. Sorry
Edit2:
Backup finished, now we're back to regularly terrible lag
Edit3:
Made use of that terrible event, new map!
Minecraft [1.7.2/4?]

So far the only ones who suggested a restart are people who havn't played in a while / ever =P
New map is up.. missed a spot :/
