Minecraft In Game Name: travb87
What will you add to the role play:i will try to build and help out to the best of my ability, and also i will participate in the game to make it more fun for the server in general(and hopefully become a mage)
How you found our server: minecraft-server-list.com
Are you planning on being active: I will do the best i can at staying active
Age: 14
Language: appropriate
Have you read the rules: yes i have visited the server and read and accepted all of the rules
(p.s. im honestly not just saying this as a suckup, but this is actually the best server i have visited)

windows xp

well it says the main driver is vga.dll
is that what you needed to know?

i looked at the diagnostics of them but it was blank where it said "name:"
and for manufacturer it said n/a

okay so i have a minecraft of couse and i went to play it on my computer and this is what came up:



Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

Quote from andubadea

i discovered a way to play minecraft even with bad drivers.... write "java -Xmx800m -jar "C:\Documents and Settings\NAME\Desktop\Minecraft.jar" in cmd.... move the minecraft.exe to desktop and rename it minecraft.jar....it should work

Ok i tried this and heres what i did I literally typed in this quotes included except or coure MYNAME had my name in its place
"java -Xmx800m -jar "C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME\Desktop\Minecraft.jar"

this is what came up:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

can somebody please explain to me what i did wrong and what i need to do to get this to work

okay it never hurts to ask

please is there anyone out there who can help?

I need some help all you guys(and gals) reading this. I need to know if there is anyone who
A:knows how to host a server
B:can use plugins effectively
C:all of the above but doesn't want to have to manage it but still wants to play on it
D:can have hopefully 50 people at a time, or more (30 should be the minimum)
you can explain if you can or cannot have the server up all the time or not. Please consider what Im asking and pm me with any other questions.

IMPORTANT NOTES: I am NOT looking for a rental server that requires payment. I am also looking for some one who can host a server like I explained but does not already have one they are hosting.
Thank you

ace i didn't know the new server was up could you pm me the new ip?

i understand what your saying and it makes sense. and i kinda agree with you. Im trying to find some way to argue with you about it but i cant think of a good argument

Quote from krnshadow

Its great that you have good intentions, however, Most servers would prefer to see how contributing you are to the server and your ability to deal with situations rather than a post asking to be an Admin. Try going on to servers and show that you would be a good player and hopefully they would consider having you as an Admin... but this, this looks too desperate.

ok thanks for the feedback it was helpful

well anyway it was not my intent to break the rules for that sorry. i am asking you now that you please view it my post as not an idea for the mining helmet but as my ideas for the specifics on how a mining helmet could work.....wow i worded that very professionally sounding (at least thats my opinion...weird)

Quote from Th3PinkNinj4

By reading your post I get the feel your 10 or something, Also i agree with the guy above ^^^. Also you are coming across as very needy, As if you have to be an admin for some reason? Why not join a server that has just started up and work your way through the ranks like EVERYONE else! :L

i am sorry that that is the way that you view this but first of all im not 10 i am older than that but i dont want to give my age i did not mean to seem desperate so sorry for that i am a person who likes to help and that was really my intention for the post but im not really good at wording things like that so this is how it came out. again sorry

Quote from Altoid2

The search bar would like to have a word with you...

ok again im sorry but just because i wasn't the very first person to have the basic idea of a helmet light i didnt know, yes i should have used the search bar, again sorry. either way there are still new ideas for in what i posted so please instead of saying things like "people already came up with that blah blah blah please post feedback because i have already been over the whole idea not being completely 100% original. and i changed the post so it says that what i am posting is new ideas for the idea of a mining helmet/helmet light thing
