heheh, ya what he said. im just a simple tech. that likes to enjoy having fun, and doing new things. RPG's are my favorite, and the Second Minecraft Server i am creating will hopefully achieve this goal. im currently studying Java to a more indepth point, and waiting for the API to possibly create my own things. sure doing textures and scripting in a little something extra for players is nice, but i want something to achieve my RPG goal. something that will make this server unique.
as it is near christmas, there arent as many on minecraft atm. but hopefully by January that will change.
Word redundancy.. racist remarks.. abberant swearing.. and repeated intentional typos.
And THIS is just in reading your "rules" list on your website.
i read the thread here thinking.. dear gods.. an actual mature and intelligent group of players actually willing to form a decent community....
gods.. your website shows the total and exact opposite.
Id rate you guys about as low as GoonSquad or Doorman Is God clans.. only caring about themselvs as individuals first and as a clan second.. ONLY when it then belittles others.
the respect and bond of thier fellow brothers is the most important weapon a clan has in working togeather.. your website reads like some backwards dictatorship.
this server is a pass till they can decide weather they are going to be polite tech ops.. or wannabe getto mongers hellbent on hating everyone.
As for the Rules Post that got deleted... i didnt see that lol., pretty much all those things are explained a bit overboard by devz. A lot of those things are not requirements... Ventrilo is not a Requirement but it helps the atmosphere.
ya... thats devz is the fratboy pushing out, and promoting whatever the leader says, hahah he was in charge of that stuff. lol, he tends to go overboard... dont mind him, he is more of a FPS and MobA guy, he tends to like to put down the opposing team, think he is still getting used to the Minecraft concept. not a bad guy, but he has no restraint over what he wants to say lol, we love him lol.
and the only OP is me, and Occasionally Asgrim. whom also took a big role in the completion of this server. not to mention i have a BIG problem with abusing any type of exploit or command that comes with having OP, its more or less a title, which i can care less about.
We love to take games we enjoy and take it to the next level for everyone, we currently have a server Based in Central US, with Me on the West coast, and my buddy on the East we have a lag-less connection and a server that seats 50 comfortably for minecraft, and with continued support can easily increase this number at will! (although i dont dislike foreign individuals, US Citizens have Server Priority as the Latency can be an issue. but don't let that get you down, if our server gets more support we will defiantly be upgrading -as if it needs it-)
Currently we have a prime-time average of 10 people.
We normally use heavy Griefing, packet watching, and other methods to stop hacking or abuse. I myself am a Networking Specialist, but a few in our group have special talents, maybe you will bring something to the table!
features include nearly 24/7 uptime with updates being the only downtime. backups are a must, with redundancy atleast 10 times a day. with backups dating a week earlier. 24/7 Ventrilo server friendly players, we mess around from time to time. but we are serious against over doing it, and acting your age. most of us are older, but that shouldn't discourage most of you from joining.
if your wanting to play on the minecraft server then apply in the recruitment section. you are not provided to do anything other than have fun, and we are not some emotionally inept individuals. http://rasputin-central.com/ This more or less is a precaution against griefers. besides watching for packet flow, i keep constant logs of ip's to names, i can spot the same ISP, and Location Range.(ex. even though a person can change his ip with his ISP, he cant change the IP Range that his ISP gives to his Area.) so the chances of the same person griefing is little to none even if they spend the time making a nice looking resume!
And again, just because you put in a post in the recruitment doesnt mean your obligated to anything, its just a way for us to get to know who you are. -were a fun bunch i promise!-
we play a multitude of games, from some MMO's, League of Legends, Bloodline Champions, and Bad Company 2. we currently are hosting a High Quality 50 player Minecraft server (harder than a 64 man Bad company 2 server mind you!) and soon hope to rig up a bad company 2 server if we get the need.
do I understand it correctly that leaf decay is just a graphical enhancement? If so, it would be useful if we could toggle it in the graphical settings, or even by editing some file.
CPU, it is a graphical representation, but running the decay algorithm is all cpu. it isnt much, some people dont have the comp for it, sometimes people use half-assed servers its not notches fault. its the consumers. i've seen similiar problems arise before, i hope notch never removes leaf decay again!
1. no lag, server doesnt lag, 50 people, and no lag.... ya stfu.
2. your probably misenterpreting lag for your insuficient CPU!
3. the server was meant to be everchanging with different types of Weather, rain, snow, and changing biomes. this creates a big usage of CPU! GO BUY ONE! thats not from a third rate store.
4. i think the server side inventorys is THE BEST!, it completely wiped out inventory hacks, and many other problems. disapearing items etc. tons of thanks for this.
(i have used testing tools, and monitering resources from the before and after of these couple updates, its not a memory leak, nor is it graphical, its all CPU. i have a beast of a CPU running the pre-beta at 5-10% at most, it now hits 20-40%) remember that when one piece of your hardware bottlenecks, you have no one but yourself to blame. i checked my ****, even my cpu brought my frames down from 200-450 average, to 60-120 frames.
what you are asking for is creative mode, its everything you need, no changing weather, still atmosphere, no tree interaction. and no server side inventory!.... GO HAVE FUN!
ALPHA, is the creation phase with some big fixes and some minor.
Beta, is the fixing phase, with minor new elements, and just fixing, and fine tuning of what already is! unused items, and new recipes for items being used are creation elements of a game. they will be enjoyed. but i am loooking forward to a higher stability rate of servers, less hacking(thank notch for the server side inventorys, i cant even imagine the changes required for that) im currently going into java, and its no easy task, you thinking messing with a mod api is hard? or maybe easy, its nowhere near the level of what notch is doing, i've never seen java used in the way notch is. and is going to do.
ya, no complaints here. sounds to me like some of these guys cant handle a CPU increase of the Demand the game is now giving. i used to run this game at about 5-10% cpu usage, now its taking about 30-40% at most. i've noticed a drop in frames, im now getting 50-120 frames a sec. when i used to get 250-450+ around 200-350+ when i used to host my server on this box, its dedicated now.
p.s. while using the 128x128 bitmaped textures.
from what i have seen its all cpu, my games frames dont change from the texture packs, and i did some tests. its definatly just more cpu intense.
if some of you dont know how an insufficient CPU can cause your frames to drop, you gotta understand that your computer proccesing and interpreting data to make visual images in sequence with the intermittened ai, physx etc. IS LIKE A BIG CIRCLE... JUST A CIRCLE. CPU>RAM>GPU>CPU like a big circle, when there is a bottlekneck, it brings everything down.
P.P.S. now just so you know, this means that changing graphical settings will not help, just put them back to where they normally are. and either buy a new pc, or hope that the cpu req. gets dumbed down.
btw, love you notch, amazing game. keep it coming! thinking of buying a 5th copy XD
to: OP, your post was very misleading, this is not a lag (reference to latancy problem) this is a drop in frame rate, just say "Low FPS!" or "Computer Slowed Down on Minecraft Update!" etc.
