So bad news new map will be required I think I left a converter running when I left for work but no promiseds it can do it... Guess were the issue is advanced machines screwed me on top of that iron chest has been recoded and the older chest are broken... Also bee keeping requires a lot of regen of chunks so still working

So i have 1.1 working with no map move yet but have a working server on my test server with all the mods

So fair bad news the config so fair is RP/BC/IC2 additionalpipes, ironchest, minefactory, forestry .2.6. Newest forge hates forestry and older forge hates the server mods... so at a stand still right now... may still be waiting for a fix to move to new server.

So restarting the server without an update for now... Wasted day.

Never said map reset... i just said dirty

So we are all up-to-date i am moving to 1.1 its going to be quick, its going to be dirty... and god i know people are going to get hurt... working now details to follow

They are not actually disabled... the work around that was added the same workaround that killed tin gears also broke the TP pipes, this will be resolved on the next update from bukkit but with there focus shifted to 1.1 it may not come fast enough

Wanna guess my issue oh right Internet is out again

I said shh. As for the tin gear stuff I will put them in the admin shop for sale for a few bucks cheaper then crafting them

ok first of all my last post lets put that in past im not in good mind set atm

secondly great news about connection lets hope they finally sort it

So here is the a list of things the yfound... and have fixed so far at charter.
1. My line service drop had a 10db loss replaced and fixed some issues
2. Replaced Cable modem to a new DOCSIS 3.0 allowing 4 channels of upload instead of the standard 1 that is available to a DOCSIS 1.0,1.1 and 2.0 or qam256
3. Replaced my line amplifer at the pole that was adding 4db of noise to my downstream/upstream

Now for what the real cause was

Charter for the last 3 months has been encountering spikes of noise in the updstream that has up until 2 weeks ago been so inconsistant they could not identify the failure as of wednesday they identified 2 node line amplifiers underload creating a frequency shift and adding up to 25db of noise to the upstream.
First let me state i am an electrical engineer a network specialist and a currently employees as a consumer electronics technician, let me say top rated not to toot my own horn but i am very good with electronics, and i have spend hours on the phone to finally get them to spill the bean on the fault i had to explain i understood what they were saying and was just interested in the fault because it was such a strange failure they tried to baffle with bullshit but here is the story i worked out from them...

Now after a lengthy conversation and drilling of my feild operations managers at charter he explained to me what they found. Turns out there are 4 apartment building on my node that as of 3 months ago had a fire when they did some exquipment in the complex was damaged charter thought all the damaged components were replaced after identify the line amps failure they followed the amp to a transient voltage coming from the 4 building complex, there were able to isolate 2 building but 2 others have a line condition in place until the complex manager can let them in to changed the remaining equipment, this has decrease signal to noise that should set at at lest 44db to a mere 38db but way up from my 20db i has been expriencing. So large improvement.

Put simply the amps got wet and are now shorting out inside so 4 $30 cable amplifers knocked out 974 customers in my area ther scary part is only 5 of them have been complaining as long as i have but as of monday 150 cases were open for service. The promise is this will be resolved no later then monday night and my service will be better then every before with new service lines for 90% of my connection to the node/fiber optic connection. As of right now my speedtest reported 44mb/s down and 6mb/s up so all is getting better and i am very happy.

Server: There have been some service improvements as well to help with some issues we have encountered. New Hard drive being one but also i am moving to a different permissions system and am testing it now, we also will be experimenting with a few tweaks to increase chunk handling.

TIN GEARS, turns out a workaround to fix crashing in 2.2.11 buildcraft is at fault i am working with the bukkit team to find a solution as my configs are corrected but being read in the wrong order, so for now still an issue. Also about the move to 1.1 there is a possiblity that a map reset will be required due to a configuration change in IC2 now using 10 new ids that have been in the past used by RP and a few addon Mods, There will be no vault as thanks to a dupe bug in 2.2.11 vanilla items have been duped includeing 30 blocks of diamond and 30+ blocks of gold and almost 40 blocks of iron. Also do to a glitch in the job system building and breaking has been used to glitch an unmanagable amount of wealth on the server.This will mean on 1.1 money will be reset and no vault we may not reset the map but a older version of the map will be used to restore to 1.1 if needed. As of now this is not set in stone and i will make every effort to move everything as is into the new 1.1 sytem and then the only requirement would be money and job fixes but as for now this is not a discussion point but more of a catching up with the events on the server. Also if you look at my signature line you will see a new hop.to address this dns will track my ip at all time is the plan so if my ip changed it will still allow a connection this will help manage the transistion to my new ip address if it changes again.

Last but not least IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS WE WILL BE MOVING TO THE NOW OFFICIAL FORUM DETAILS TO FOLLOW IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

For the last time, I never said that you cheated, I stated that they were somehow disabled, and that the recipe with Tin Cells that use the Tin ingots has somehow changed and now creates the Tin gears. Levin-t said he was going to look into it.

Damn, I have said this at least seven times.

For anything close to being able to handle our needs 10gb of backups and a modloader server cheapest I have found on basic ram handles 15 users was 14.99 a month I would be forced to go to a paid server and as para stated rather just not host one free or nothing I don't do this for money I do it because I enjoy the company we play with and the excuse to have premium Internet on top of loving the practice of my networking in 4 months I have learned more about networking then I ever knew I didn't know. Glad you like the server but I too am bummed about it being out but for me it involves more then minecraft I can't even watch Netflix I get no service outside my phone.

My wife thinks I'm having an affair with the cable guy he keeps spending hours at the house and nothing is getting fixed. Al seriousness they found the issue the have an array of line amplifiers that under load are going off frequency and adding noise to the signal on the upload channel the crew is working hard they said to fix the issue by tommorow but have yet to identify all the failed line amps and may need more time to resolve the issue they promised this will be fixed by Monday no matter what and gave me another $9 service credit... Ya? So god willing this server will be back to normal this weekend and if possible I want to get 1.1 installed but no cart before the horse

If we use it can u add me and para as an admin so if you happen god forbid to stop playing tye forum can still be active. Love the forum though you did a great job.

I have made it clear a warning should be given but lag right now is still at a all time high also charter supervisor called back and I will have my 4 th technician out tomorrow.

We cannot even craft Chunkloaders. If you are talking about Teleport pipes, I thought Lev said they were fine, and still needed to re-enable them... You didn't regenerate my house, did you?

Even if we could craft Chunkloaders, I have no use for them, everything that I create is within 10 chunks of each other. (Except for my new house)

I did notice that there were a few blocks near my house that would load even if a chunk would not. I didn't think anything of it, if that's what you were talking about it's across the road from my house

As for playing during the lag any loss I can not replace... Can't be helped I have no control over it and would love if it was just fixed but still fighting with charter the crew has yet to fix it. Waiting on a call back from the field supervisor still no fix and 2 hours on the phone.

I figured it's not communicating with me either.

Its now 3:32am eastern standard time... so like 5 hours

Here is my speedtest result...

Sorry i started the test at the same time, took that long to finish the speedtest for the upload it just cooks waiting to finish.

This is my problem... I have 36MB/s download and .025 upload right now... charter has been out 3 times now and if not fixed by wednesday they will be out 1 more time... they have a repair crew working on the node... its bull and i am pissed, but i am at there mercy it works fine from about 8am-3pm then the world falls apart... they think it is the thermal gain control but they really have no idea a crew will be out 2morrow morning to replace it so we will see.
