How I am doing it is I am making the mod using only my code so that everything is compatible, I know how it works, and I have control over the code in all ways. The modding process is both simple and also complicated at the same time. First I am gutting minecraft. I am removing class files from my little coding jar that are not needed and making the code more streamlined as to not use the files I remove. For example, I will be removing the generation for towns and nether fortresses from my SRC and then wherever it is called for I will be removing that from the code. I will not have to tell you all to remove the nether and town generation from your jars because the files I give you will be made to not even use those files. What that should do is hopefully increase FPS even a little but in the end the only real purpose I know for sure it will do is make it easier for me to code. Last I checked there were about 400+ files in the ssp jar file so if I can remove the ones I do not need it will make it easier for me to get to the files I want.
If anyone is worried about not being able to play normal worlds with this mod and such it is not a problem because of the profile manager I mentioned earlier. It will allow you to have a jar file with all of my HP stuff in it that is practically unusable in SSP and one jar file for normal use and the cool part is that you do not have to do the switching of the jars/.minecrafts yourself, it does it for you but just using a different .minecraft in a different place.
After me making the ssp stuff I will port everything to SMP which if I keep everything vanilla should be rather easy I hope. If I am FORCED to use Modloader it may be a bit more complicated but it will be a quick little change. Obviously testing will be done periodically in SSP and after porting to SMP I will do one big test to make sure everything works. I will be constantly stream lining the code and such trying to make it as lag free as possible since I will be adding so much stuff.
Anyone have any suggestions for the server or stuff not including my coding methods :|.
Well that was what I have been wanting and what you brought up is a good point.
I am thinking that first year first year students (Alpha Testers) will be limited to probably 12. That would mean with even distribution 4 people each house but it will probably not end up that clean. That number is just from me gauging our current audience and expecting a rise in interest when the server is done. If the interest grows with this server I would increase the limit because Alpha Testers would be helpful for something so large and expansive and would also set up the older population of students.
Second year first years (Beta Testers along with the Second Year students) would be dependent on how the first year first years had it. If there were not too many problems and interest grew I would probably keep the limit larger like around 16 to 20 or so people for that year. Obviously anyone staying from first year would move on to second year.
After that the limit would be at a reasonable amount but would be pretty general and not really enforced in a way.
Each school year would only take 1.5 months so every 1.5 months someone can reapply for the server for the next year which would keep everything interesting.
I love also so i am a alpha tester, or could I possibly take a teaching role, also i think we should make a you tube series, what you think maybe try to get it some funding or more appliers, also maybe we could make a emblem for each house and each one has its own you tube series.

Well you brought up a few good points.
If you want a teaching role I will be needing teachers but we will have to find out all of the roles closer to release.
A youtube series no... This is just a plain old server based off of Harry Potter where it does not really matter what happens. I do not want to end up having to script things or just in any way have people do something that is not them. I would be more than happy if anyone did a series for themselves of their adventures on the server but an official series is a no. That also goes for the other houses. And an emblem.... they already exist...
oh okay i meant after the first year a tribute video
Well maybe a tribute video of some sorts but not an actual series. And while I am making the mod I forgot to mention that I will be recording when I test to prove that the mod is actually being made.
People interested in this server, I am very sorry but something in life has come up that I will not be able to work on this server. The event, I would not like to talk about, but I will not be able to work on this server or host it so unfortunately I will not be doing this server. It is an amazing idea and I would greatly appreciate anybody going with it. I will be removing the little copyright I put so any ideas that I said or any ideas on this page are up for grabs. I am also attaching the document with all of my research and research I was going to do. I hope someone can continue this idea for me but if not then that must be how it goes. If anyone continuing this idea needs help or needs to understand how I formatted my research please message me but no begging me to come back to the project and no asking why because I would rather not talk about it and this is final. Good luck to anyone willing to do this.

I know but I would rather not talk about it I hope someone continues it but worst comes to worse I can see you in one of the hunger games :wink.gif:.
Im off this thread for good now I guess since looking back is going to do nothing but tease me. Not deleting the topic just incase anyone who takes it up needs the ideas or uses this thread to talk but good luck everyone.
Maxi, you should create a new topic in the forums getting some more people to hep you with this....I'd love to help but I would only be able to host via hamachi.
Though my server does work WITHOUT it....I'd just need to change a few things...
That's a pretty good start on hogwarts ! you want to help us a bit Dishyboy ?
Just to make sure and clarify, that is not mine. I just seen it and wanted to let you guys see it. On the other hand, yes id be willing to help with the server and building.
Hey, I choose not to read the second page so i am not sure how many pepole you all ready have. But, i am a HUGE fan of harry potter and am ready to help in any way i can.

No not at all I thought I messaged you about the situation. Either way your back and I am happy to have you back!

How does that sound? Any questions?
