Thoughts on where I am going wrong? It seems to work for others, and I am not seeing where I am messing it up.
I haven't been messing with the actual *.jar files in a while. It's much easier using a program such as Multi MC (a launcher with a little more functionality than the vanilla one) which allows you to load the *.zip (such as BBOR for vanilla) files as mods without having to mess with any *.jar files.
Tomorrow, Saturday, 26th May - around 7pm UTC/GMT - I'll be hosting an Ultra Hardcore free for all survival server. Mano a mano, last man standing wins.
As some of you may know, undedz won a competition held by DocM77 for his 55.555 subscriber challenge, for a possible UHC PvP with Doc himself & some of the Mindcrack guys. (THIS AND undedz PRIZE ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL ULTRA HARDCORE SERIES, watch the dang videos !!!!)
We need to help undedz to hone his skills to mix it with the pros - so if you think you've got what it takes, you want to record or simply to have some fun, register your interest here in the thread & I'll be sending you the link to the server nearer the start time on Saturday.
Would be nice seeing you then (& to slay you with my sword )...
I enjoy reading these threads simply to laugh at the morons they are frequented by & the youth of today who seemingly can't do reading & understanding at the same time...
The only golden tool I ever had & used was the golden shovel you got when joining the public Mindcrack server recently... I don't think I've used it for anything else other than clocks, rails etc.
I'm actually looking to run a server like this, I've got the setup & everything going, but I need to see how many players I can host with it being lag free. The server is a slightly older Model Pentium 4 with 2GB RAM running Ubunutu Server command prompt only (recently upgraded to 12.04 precise) however the internet connection is quite fast (it's in the server room of my company ) & it's a dedicated box running nothing else.
I'll probably use this Forum some time this week to just invite players in order to give it a good hammering to see what its limits are, before I can host something 'official'. If you're interested, get in touch.
A bit about myself: been working with IT for nearly 20 years (starting with a 286 in 1991 or so, as a kid with games such as Wolfenstein, LHX etc. and about 11 years in a professional capacity), so know what I'm doing & I've been a Minecraft player for about 2 1/2 years.
I'd be able to record & use Skype (Mumble would be better though imho).
Not sure if you were looking to host yourself or just looking to find players. But I can host & I know how to administrate a server.
What I can bring to the game is basically a lot of IT knowledge & nearly 20 years of experience in playing PC games.

And for 1. don't forget you'll need a beast of a computer so it won't lag
Depending on how many users the OP envisages coming on-line at any one time, the server doesn't have to be quite such a beast if it's dedicated to solely to being a server (i.e. no one actually plays on it as well) and it's got a proper OS (Ubuntu Server for example, less hungry on resources, thereby enabling more resources for MC).
Lag is mainly caused by the internet connection, as most home-users running a server will have asymmetric DSL connections, meaning the upload is way slower than the download - and the upload is obviously needed to serve data to all the users connecting. A great illustration & real life example would be the current UHC series (5), where some fierce lag almost disappeared after just one player was killed.
Obviously if you're renting a dedicated server somewhere, you shouldn't have to worry about any of this, as my comments mainly apply to a home-user type setup.

Server will be live at 50min past the hour in around 20min time!

If anyone still has interest, you have just over an hour to post.

@RaNd0mGuY101 - don't worry, if this goes well, I'll host it more often.

Check your PM
@all
I'm going out now to enjoy the sun a bit, so can't reply. Don't worry though, we'll try to accommodate everyone.

I'll make sure to add a player.dat (for random spawning) for Der_Kappn.
Check your PMs too

Because of the PAE Kernel Ubuntu uses, which can allocate more than 4GB, even on a 32bit system.
