The time for updating is near which means we have a shot at getting a tekkit server!

 

I personally am getting bored of the server now and wouldn't mind the map being wiped so as we can have it become a Tekkit server, but we must see what everyone else thinks: My point is,the server has a bunch of faults..for those of you in the redstone region. there are some visual eye-saw(s) that we all know about and I think you could all work on a town again tekkit style with power stations and stuffs! (redstoners are die hards)

 

The bottom line is this:

The server won't become tekkit unless 90% of people want it, and are okay with having a new map. I see tekkit as being a lot better for everybody because there's so much more to do and you don't get bored anywhere near as quickly.

 

For people unaware of what tekkit is: Click Here Tekkit contains most (if not all) of the mods that GamingStylez uses in his videos! but multiplayer!

 

We must cast a vote, the poll has been reset, Vote Vote Vote!

I see it as a game guys, I enjoyed creating the castle and if anyone else wants the download I'm okay with it. I'm good with switching over to tekkit if the others are. Seems nobody is ever on the server when I log in anyway. Gizmo and myself have been checking out Tekkit on my private server and it seems pretty good from I can tell. But of course, it's ultimately up to Stylez. I'll vote yes.

I'm surprised you're interested in switching since you have probably the most time invested in your build. One thing I will say is that likely a new map won't have such a cool spawn area due to the time needed to create it.

 

Either way I don't really care if we go Tekkit. I would think Tekkit would have a lot more to do than vanilla so the server will be more active. I don't know how long it will be before it's updated to 1.3 though.

I spent 12 hours a day on the server at times building and making myself the richest person on the server :P i would love it to become TEKKIT because its so boring now with not alot more to do no space around my house to build more and no one is on really to help or have a laugh with (not including you 3 :D)

I'm thinking that I'll leave the money how it is. This way, you won't neccessarily lose all the time you invested. So for instance, you can sell everything you've mined for cash and carry that cash over to Tekkit. That's the idea anyway.

 

Also, everyone will need to abandon their land claims and you'll carry over your claim blocks.

Sounds like a plan!

I think I'll start from scratch without selling off anything, only what I leave with. Restricting reactors kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? Just don't build one if you can't maintain it, simple as that really.

 

Yeah restricting reactors would really suck but I can see how it could be used to grief. The amount of time and resources required to build a reactor I would imagine is beyond the attention span of your average griefer.

Okay, I say we make sure they're reinforced properly though if we spot one! Maybe encourage people to make power stations for towns or something so as people don't have to worry about power (for a high price ofcourse) MEH, Me n gr8 love the molten for our power, or solar.

I think it's pretty clear we'll go for Tekkit. We only have one vote for no and that person hasn't said why they voted no and it seems like the only people that are active on the server lately have said yes. Now we just have to wait for Tekkit to update to 1.3!

No idea, you'll have to watch http://www.technicpack.net/ to see when they update. The mods still have to update themselves which will probably be a week or two, then the mods have to be ported to Bukkit by mcports and then they have to be included in Tekkit and tested.. sooo it could be a little while yet!

Even a custom build server with links to the mod versions used would be fine, would love to see forestry as well.

Installing mods would be a real a*s! Someboodeeee' needsa make a .jar if that's the case. = Mojang out for your blood lol

I don't mind a custom built one as long as I get support if installing all those mods manually doesn't work, And wouldn't we have to set the same block ID's or something? (same as the server)

I could post a GamingStylez mod pack in the members only forum that you could copy into Minecraft, but you'd be responsible for modding your own .jar files. And no, I wouldn't offer support but we're on forums so between all of us we can figure stuff out. Most mod authors are okay with providing semi-private mod packs for getting on a server.

 

As far as block IDs go, I think you automatically use the server's block IDs when you connect to it.

So if we are going to a tekkit server....ummm how do I or where do I go so I can change my minecraft from being the normal boring to the new exciting? So i can be prepared for the new server. Or is that something I just wait for when the time comes?

Go to http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit/ and download the tekkit client, log into minecraft with the technic launcher (selecting tekkit from the drop down) .. Put in the server IP and you're good to go!

Having played around with it some, I know general bukkit plug-ins work with it. Gonna see if I can get Forestry working with it. :)

 

EDIT: Yea, Forestry will take a lot of file editing looks like to make it compatible with the other mods, if it's even possible. <_<

The tekkit server IS a modified version of bukkit so all bukkit plugins should work with it

I tested the forestry mod on the Tekkit server and there are other mods in the pack with a "special" forestry folder in them. There were many conflicts that arose from adding forestry. I read about a few fixes for certain problems, but they only led to more problems. They have made forestry incompatible with Tekkit for the most part. I'm sure there may be ways around it. Short of removing many of the mods we don't even use, I'm not spending a lot of time making it work. But, removing those mods might actually make it compatible; and the client side wouldn't have to be modified at all.

Everyone should start abandoning their claims now and selling their items in preparation for Tekkit! We'll probably switch to Tekkit before 1.3 comes out as it's going to be a long time and it seems everyone has lost interest in the server.

 

/abandonallclaims to abandon all your land claims as far as I know...

and for those diehards, You might be able to install the mods manually and connect to the tekkit server so as you can have your own version of Optifine or whatever! xD

Confirmed! I've done this and it works! I get more FPS because I installed the multi-core version of Optifine! Sweet!

I took a really long leave of absence to come back to a tekkit server. Glad we're all ready to switch it up.

And Stylez, you say you dont think the spawn area will be extravagant? Why not let the players, the trusted ones, make a wonderful spawn area when they can? It saves you time and gives the players a project they can be proud of!

There will be a small spawn area, but nothing huge like the last one. We do plan to have some shops at spawn for selling goods since our economy and claims are also going to be transferred over to Tekkit. See you all on the server! :)

darn, im gunna lose all the claim blocks on my house cos of the server stoping without me knowing, but still happy bout tekkit, gunna be cool

 

I abandoned everyones claims so you should get your claim blocks back when you connect to Tekkit.

 

The Tekkit server is currently online but we have a lot of configuring left to do so it won't be "production" for a few days I'm sure. Feel free to login with the Tekkit client and play around. I wouldn't suggest getting too serious on it as it might get reset.

 

Gizmo and Gr8ful are now server admins so they have full control over the configuration files, plugins, etc so now everything doesn't have to wait for me to fix it. lol

 

If you have experience with Tekkit servers feel free to make suggestions on things that should be disabled, disallowed, etc.

 

Currently we've disabled EE2 and the weapons mod. All other Tekkit mods are enabled.

Jasenty brought it to our attention that RedPower may be nerfed from working with Tekkit in the future. Therefor I think I will try and create a custom modded server that way we can use Forestry as well and then post a mod pack in the private forum for people to download as well as a video tutorial.

 

Feel free to play around on the current Tekkit install until this happens. I have a feeling that we should just wait for 1.3 before getting serious with the modded server so for now you can consider the server as a Tekkit test server. Keep in mind that anything you make is temporary!

It's up to you guys, really. If you guys want to form a builder group to create some "community" stuff then we can offer temporary creative mode to anyone that wants to do that. At this point in time I'm getting a little sketchy on the longetevity of the SMP server as it's rarely used anymore. I'm assuming that's because the Tekkit stuff is temporary so I'll give it a month or two after we get the custom mods running then I'll decide if it's worth the $30 a month to keep. Right now it's just a bit of a financial black hole lol

I think everybody just sees it as a waste of time to make something that's not gonna be there long (this is the reason I'm not playing anyway), I'm looking forward to the custom build server!

Yeah i have some awesome ideas and designs planned, i'm basically using the server as it currently stands as an idea on how to start and what i need to set up.

 

Building Big and Beautiful is my No.1 Goal!!! :D

 

lol and i need to remember to make scaffolding lol

So Ive heard some updates on most mods being updated, but so far it looks like RP is the only one being slow, and by slow, I mean Eloraam is trying her hardest to get it up and going. So before the custom mod pack can get going, we need RP for the world gen. Also, Ill keep an eye out for any other potential mods that could be great for the server.

Are they still not SMP? I haven't looked into it but with the 1.3.x release where basically SMP = SSP I'm not sure if that's still the case or not. It would be cool if they were SMP but at the same time I think they would murder the server performance. They had a fairly big performance impact on my Industrialized world.
