    Did you unzip the folder? I think the folder needs to stay zipped, maybe.

    Damn this game for having such easy-to-edit texture files! Now I spend more time getting my textures just right than actually creating things in-game!

    Currently I'm combining my favorite parts of Jolicraft with my happy mobs, piehole's progress-bar damage sprites (for destroying blocks) and my own custom paintings.

    I'll never find enough lapis to make enough cyan dye to make Perry the playpus!

    I'm going to seal off the lava after the render; I didn't realize it wouldn't kill the slimes at the time. Hope that's not what's causing the problems.

    yeah, bill's getting folks to log off so he can get the render going

    he estimates 15-20 minutes

    so give it half an hour or so, just to be safe

    I'm looking forward to it, it's been a long while since we've had one, and a LOT has changed

    So Ive got some good news, at least for those folks who wanted a permissions system. Ive gotten a barebones permissions system up and running and am still testing various add-ons that would let the mods do more things then just allowing people to build before I send it off to bill to add to the server. Hopefully I can find a plugin that can give everyone some basic commands like /who, and give mods some power without having to make them all Ops.

    Also It shouldnt affect anyone because by the time bill gets it i should have all of you that are whitelisted added as builders. There are still some details to work out but i will keep you updated.

    What's worse is I'd just fallen down that waterfall, looked back and was like OH SHIT.

    Thankfully the guy was stuck but he stared at me.

    I seem to recall getting frustrated with the character creator and having dudes that I'd made in honor of various friends and relatives die after like 6 hours worth of gameplay.

    Alright so, I haven't posted in awhile, and new things are afloat.

    First the status of the server and render operations: there seems to be a corrupt file in the world folder, which was likely causing the lag issues today. I'm working on finding it and removing it, so the render will go through. This may take time, and I may mess up and move the wrong file (I'm just moving them to my personal computer, so I'll move things back if stuff is messed up).

    Secondly, as many of you are aware, the server population seems to have outgrown the VPS we've been running it on. I've already upgraded it, but more people keep playing! This leads me to think it's time we consider a dedicated server. There are two options here:

    1. I use my old computer (like, a year old, I literally just upgraded to an i5-2500k in January, so my old Phenom II is just sitting around collecting dust). I don't have any doubts it could handle the server better than the VPS, but the issue is it would be sharing bandwidth with my other gaming. It'd be on a 20/2 connection, so that may not be an issue, but only testing would confirm.

    2. We actually rent a dedicated server. This is expensive, and it would probably need to be a group effort through donations etc. On the plus side, if we get a good one most issues would disappear entirely, and the population could keep growing.

    I'll let people discuss things in the thread or on the server, and I'm sure ultimak/nuka will let me know what the preferred course of action is (HINT HINT).

    I liked the Sims 2 a whole lot.

    I was kind of disappointed by 3, it felt to me like they back-tracked.

    I'm kind of wary on the dedicated rental server, but maybe I'm just afraid it'll be like Space Station 13 and everybody will stop playing right after things get going.

    My buddy runs a 100/10 connection for his minecraft server to share with his other systems. His 15/3 was too slow. He also runs a super beefy system for his 50+ players online server. He takes donations to upgrade it.

    Could you price out a rental server? I wouldn't mind chipping in for one. I've gotten so much enjoyment out of minecraft for such a low price as it is. :P

    Yeah, these forums tend to be really ADD when it comes to games; I'm inclined to say a dedicated server rental isn't worth it.

    If you need some one-time donations to beef up your server, though, bill, you should speak up (after running it by the mods).
