1.1 Update News - Server Side support

This is useful/Interesting information on changes, THE SERVER IS NOT UPDATED YET

In the latest update Jeb_, added some support for server and client side mods.

Which may or may not effect Acator but interesting information:

They added an empty packet to Minecraft Servers and clients, which is usable by client and server side mods, the packet is used to send information, _ANY_ information, like models, images etc.

It's also used to determine client side mods and server side mods, so servers can check if a client has a mod the server has, which allows for it then to use this packet to utilize data.
--

Anyway, this allows for more, and slightly easier mod support, and helps clients with Nasty little bugs they may have had in the past with server & client mods.

In other news, some AI API has been implimented, most likely for villagers, but can be used to control NPC's and the actions of them, which may, and probably will be utilized by server side plugins, so more fun for the build server!
--

Oh, and bukkit has a 100/100 success rate on start up so far, meaning most bugs should have been eliminated, so expect the servers to be update a tad faster then usual, hopefully anyway.

That is all, SK83R out.

Mental Issues, Goodie :D

Right well, as many of you may or may not know, I went to the hospital complaining of what's known as, "Racing Thoughts", quite scary, and I don't know... I just can't live with the fear of them, so I saw a doctor today and it was recommended I get a psychiatric evaluation.

With this said, I may be the following:

  • Mentally tweaked, and suffering of horrible panic attacks.
  • Clinically Depressed.
  • Bi-polar, I'd believe it.
  • Or insane.

In all seriousness, i'm scared as fuck right now, and I need support, so to everyone, I love all of you, and I hope things only get better from here.

Cheers to Arcator Smile

MC2 Ranking System Update V1.1.5!

For anyone who's interested in browsing ranks on MC2, you're free to check our ranking list here:
http://mc2.arcator.co.uk/idea/Ranks

Sign in with:
User: DEBUG_ACCOUNT
Pass: DEBUG

Or request an account, or if you have an account for my old "Stream", just sign in via that.

Note, that account has limited access.

Anyway, i've been working on that, and a plugin to integrate that with registering users for it ingame.

But atm, only that's *somewhat* finished, and I still need to work on site permissions, and user editing.

V1: Implemented, displayed users in plain text.
V1.1: Added Prefixes, improved formatting, and added searching.
V1.1.2: Adding non-case-sensitive search, and searching by group.
V1.1.3: Improved how users are sorted, and added and Asc, and Dsc, sorting options to the search.
V1.1.4: Improved how users are sorted, and added custom prefixes + colors (Un-optimized).
V1.1.5: Improved general code, and made things *kinda* simpler.

Planned:
Edit users, Update via JavaScript, sort users by name: A-Z, Z-A, integrate with ingame plugin, and query task execution with mMySQL.

Un-decided idea:
Add pages, with session data, to further organize searches, the issue with this is making sure the search is still carried out, and carried over to each page.

Add user pages, to allow for admins, or that confirmed user, to add a bio/desc of them(selves).

Add admin controls to refresh the data, insert data, to a MySQL Table, undecided because this would only be useful for the bio's of a player, and this feature requires quite a bit of work.

MC2 Cheaters.

Kieraan, Whale, Paulwohler, and who knows who else were obtaining items un-legitelyillegitimately.

Although this has been going on awhile a while, the fact we're on a new world, and it's continuing to prove to me that the staff cannot be trusted to keep the server running as it is currently.

I may be re-evaluating server ranks in the near future, and maybe even banning admins from MC1 on MC2. Having MC2's a privilege, and shouldn't be continually abused like this.
There are permission problems, but only ops can spawn, or change gamemode, and I know that for sure, so, Kieraan, and Whale, watch your fucking actions.

Also, sidenote, HEAL SIGNS ARN'T ALLOWED, SO DO NOT CREATE THEM ADMINS, THEY ARE FOR PRACTICAL NON PUBLIC USE.

Issues amongst "Staff" ANNOUNCEMENT.

Anyway, being pre-occupied with school-work and other shit, I rarely find myself in-game, i've been in-game the last 4 days, because of 1.0.0, MC2's been running temp maps etc, and of course, I trolled a tad since the maps were temp, and I was fucking around with world generation.

Apparently that's an issue with "Staff".

I've always been one to joke around, and break some small rules just for the hell of it, since no harm done.

Apparently, again, an issue.

I've never been one to be on Senior Staff's case about anything, I let them do as they please, and I join in on occasion, and sometimes I troll them, of course this can be seen in IRC daily, me an Dweson "fag" rule thing that I always break.
--Which I might add is a word I do not use to discriminate against sexuality, in anyway, therefore it's not part of the "Homosexual" slur rule imo.

But none-the-less an issue.

MC2's been somewhat run down with staff not enforcing my rules, and "neglect" on my part.
While i'm first to admit thing went haywire on MC2, I cannot be blamed for things that I told people were rules. EG: No flying unless for strict travel to one point to the other.

But I guess the fact my grandfather died, and that I didn't have time to correct server side issues was my fault right?

Final issue, seems staff feels disrespected.

Well, you should, I feel since the anniversary i've been getting hate and disrespect, so that's what you're gonna get back, until you all straighten out, and start talking to me more directly about your issues, rather then being hipocrits, and talking behind my back, as I usual compare arcator to: We're a company. An last time I checked, you submit your issues to the boss. An in this case, anything reguarding myself, and MC2, i'm the boss, so if you continue to sneak around behind my back, consider yourselves dealing with some problems next time I have 10 minutes to discuss this with Mal, nuff' said.

--Finally, it seems people want MC2 off the network, this no doubt leading back to the stupid "Lets just promote Admin+'s to Owners, hurr durr!". Which I sorted out the issue by stating the own nothing, physical at least, an seeing as Kyle, and Banana, had an issue with that, it seems Kyle's trying to find grounds to attack me on.

Of course I have more reason to back this up the hunches, the fact he continued to prompt I was breaking rules, and that I "Promoted demoted users", I promoted one single user, and that was the week MC2 became part of the network, because he's considered senior staff to myself, just because Kyle dislikes him, isn't a reason for it to become bad after 6 months, let's not forget the "Un-banned banned users". Again, it was just one, and it was because I found the reason stupid, and didn't have the full story at the time, and the user is now re-banned on MC2.

Oh an the fact he cried wolf yesterday: "Everyone should just leave MC2, it's obvious Josh's just gonna kill everyone, so leave if you don't wanna lose your stuff".

His excuse: I saw "NOT MY WOLF", "NOOOOOOO".
---
My official response: Arrogance, seems more like your reason, not a misconception in chat Kyle.

-----------I Digress------------
So I prompt that we have a user vote, no staff are to vote on this that are Admin, or above, including Owners, and all Senior Staff.

Of course the vote's to gauge MC2's importance among the users who play on it, while figuring out what needs to be done to fix it's current issues, which are put on hold until there's an official bukkit build released.

Oh and of course, I apologize to any staff that feel dis-respected, but I might add, the only person who's talked to me like a normal person is Dweson, and his first language isn't even english.

Though it seems he's tooken to Kyle's side on this situation.

Helzee's been quite easy to talk to about the situation, because unlike some of senior staff, he doesn't have issues with power, and isn't looking to oust me as Owner.

MC2's future!

Hey everyone, as you may know, i've been thinking about upgrading MC2, since formulating what things i'd need to decrease lag, i've come to the conclusion on what will decreased the over-all lag, by at least, i'd guess, 40-66%, a new processor.

So, to pay for the processor, i'd need donations, and since i'm planning on having MC2 around as long as there's a steady player-base, i'm going to allow donations into a paypal account, specifically made for donations, and nothing else.
