Future Shift (online for good)

[vallorn]

will we have a delay beofre Mobs?

its just that Skytopia still needs more torches....

[Frostfeuer]

Ah that explains why I was unable to connect last night to check it out. Anyways wouldn't it make sence to keep using 1.2 for the server at least temporily, since Escapecraft will be continuing to run 1.2 and some people may connect to Future shift, patch to 1.3 and then be unable to go back to escapecraft. (Unless you blacklist everyone unless they post here that they have backed it up, or just give a huge disclaimer above the IP address telling them to back up)

Regardless, looking forward to being able to explore this new and strange land.

[Spartigus]

Down before I even get a chance to get on -.-

You do know it will be back up, right?

[haxxorzd00d]

All we're waiting on now to come back online is the terrain mod we're using for map generation.

The mod's creator has said to expect an update this weekend; we'll be back somewhere from a few hours to a day after it hits.

[vallorn]

are you running 1.2 or 1.3?

[haxxorzd00d]

1.3, my good man. I had no choice; Bukkit went ahead and converted my save files to the new format.

[vallorn]

dang... Main is still at 1.2 and until Wokka updates from Hmod to the working version of Bukkit... looks like all the 1.3ers that didnt back up will come to your server Haxx... HAVE FUN

[StevK44]

Hmm looks like updating my laptop to 1.3 was a good idea, now I can have the best of the present and the future when this server comes back on.

[Frostfeuer]

While I can't say I know much about running a bukkit server or a server in general, the new file type used to save the maps is just the mcregions mod that was added to the client (http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 5&t=120160)

So wouldn't it stand to reason that you theoretically could use 1.2 bukkit with that mod to the server and put the server up sooner then if you waited for the 1.3 fixes?

I'm in no rush. The update's suppsoedly coming within the next day or two; I'm not going to the effort of downgrading just for a little extra playtime.

Besides, I have other things to play! Don't make a fuss, people! Just take a look at your game collection. See those? Yeah, those are games you haven't finished, and they're just waiting for you to boot them up and complete the crap out of them! Nothing you haven't finished? I don't believe you.

Fair enough Haxx, I was merely suggesting an alternative. To be honest I haven't played minecraft in almost a month now, recently i've gotten into Eve Online again.

[haxxorzd00d]

All the updates we need are out, so we'll be back shortly running 1.3.

I've also generated a new map - this one's slightly easier to get around and sand isn't so rare. (Also, there are deserts on this one.) The previous map will still be up with a gate to the new one, but not for long. This'll give anyone who settled on the day-one map time to move.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

[Knife_28]

Wow, those pics made me squee with the awesome, any ETA on when it'll be back up?

[haxxorzd00d]

Hey, it's-a Knife! Good to see you again buddy.

The server should be up either today or tomorrow. I've been a bit distracted (playing with fancy new plugins and making my own texture pack) but I'll be getting on with it very shortly.

[haxxorzd00d]

Updated OP.

FINALLY. All the updates and fixes and useful things are exactly where I want them, and I've stopped getting distracted by fancy plugins and shiny objects.

We're up within 6 hours.

[Sir_Luke]

I'm going to try something totally different on this server... Sir_Luke, captain of the battleship USS North Carolina! W00T!!

[givemeabreak432]

6 hours? Yeah!!!
Can't wait

[697134002]

6 hours? Yeah!!!
Can't wait

It's online right now, but there's a whitelist.

[haxxorzd00d]

The whitelist is mods-only; we're setting up plugins and finalizing some things.

The mc.net derp earlier and some weird issues I've been having with my client have delayed us a bit, but we should be public by tomorrow.

Once again, really sorry to keep you guys waiting. Not much longer now...

[viaticsnarsnar]

This new world is gonna be so awesome!!!! can't wait to get on it asap

[derigin]

I am looking forward to this map. It sounds cool.

[givemeabreak432]

I've been browsing the forums for the last 3 hours waiting for you to say the server is online >_>

[haxxorzd00d]

Dang, I didn't realise people were so eager to get on... Apologies for the long wait. I know it's been excruciating for some of you. I've been busy testing mods and writing rules and all kinds of silly things for you guys tonight.

On the bright side, this wait's not been for nothing. I've been adding new fixes and features this evening, including some brand new plugins I've discovered that you're sure to love, and some surprises that'll just blow you away.

What mysteries lie in wait beyond the rift? Well, I haven't finalized the user groups and permissions yet so I guess you'll have to wait just a little longer to find out, sorry.

And now I need sleep... it's late... so sleepy...

I'll be back in the morning, with a server and a site and some amusing things to read. Once again, sincere apologies for failing to meet just about every deadline I've set. I'll make things right folks, just you wait.

[vallorn]

haxx! why is server down! *Durp*

and dont sleep! drink more coffee!

(wait we got Wiped? that means Skytopia is gone )

[XDelphi]

....Can....Can I go on now Luke?
Also, Lord, don't edit my post again

[Sir_Luke]

This is going to be...
SUPERDUPERAWESOMESAUCE!!!!

[Sir_Luke]

Guu fastar!

[haxxorzd00d]

Am tryan!
