I've had a private VPS server for a while now that I used as a private SMP server (white list), and now I want to start afresh and go public.
I have McMyAdmin interface and a couple of plugins(however most of these will be out of date now).
I'm wondering if you guys could help me build up a list of stuff I need to get going, I'm looking to do a factions sort of survival server, but not sure on the what plugin I will need. Could you help me out and help build a list of whats needed?
Stuff I need help with..
A list of plugins.
A seed that good start to build up the basics.
Advice on how to build up the map before release.
and other general advice.
I'm hoping to do a application type server for mature 16+ players, and I think my server can handle about 10 players...not really tried anymore.
Hi guy I would like to help out, something i enjoy personally.
Anyways Straight to bussiness
Plugins
For a start some sort of anti griefing rollback plugin, whatever your fancy really, big brother,magic stick, logblock, hawkeye,datalog, whatever so long as it minimilizes griefing.
Logblock being my personal favourite, its easily the best It does require a mysql database, so i suggest going to the bukkit plugins page and looking at how to set this is, it can be confusing.
Secondly you will want world edit and world gaurd, essentials/commandbook,Lwc/lockkete and some sort of group permissions plugin, i reccomend both world edit and world gaurd, essentials, lockkete and permissions exstended or pex for short.
Thirdly i suggest building a quick open spawn with a set of rules, try to build it without a roof so that people wont spawn on top.I also suggest creating a bedrock jail using the essentials jailing command.
Fourthly i suggest setting it up so that your server runs backups on mcmyadmin at a minimum of every six hours, they can only store 7 backups, that gives you plenty of time to rollback if an admin goes awol and destroy your entire map.
fifthly i suggest some sort of default guest rank so that people cant come on,grief and then leave,You will be able to roll it back provided you installed logblock or whatever but its an annoyance at best.
Also do NOT at any time give moderators Spawning items commands, they will hand out crap and that is not what you want, give it to admins and admins only and make sure that they dont give it out.
Hope i helped

Thanks for the reply
Can I ask what you would reccomend for a permissions plugin, I did use permissions but I can't find the most up to date release?
Every time I've hosted a Bukkit server, I've used GroupManager for permissions. I recommend using it if you're going to use Essentials. Also, you should allow people to build as soon as they join, because it won't matter if they grief since you want to make a server with factions. As for building a spawn, you should make sure it is quite big and open, including the server shop if you are going to have an economy. Make sure the rules are clearly stated as well.

Why would you not bother about griefing and build perms? Dose factions plugin take care of this?
