Dono if I should just make a new map?

Well a couple chunks here and there got corrupted I guess during some of the crashes earlier. Not sure if Xela managed to fix the files by now. If not it probably is a good idea to start fresh before the corruption spreads.

Quick question though. I have not been on the current server yet. Are there still people playing it?

I check every now and then using DynMap and from what I have seen there has been pretty much no one for a week or two.

Pixelator: the server is temporarily hosted at the following address until the main host is changed: tc.nothgieh.com

TheDireLynx: for some reason your client could not resolve session.minecraft.net. Either your computer DNS configuration was messed up (or your Minecraft / Java installation is bugged or firewalled) or your ISP had issues resolving or reaching minecraft.net.

I do not use the installer so I cannot tell for sure, but it should work with the default configurations for all the mods. It is possible the installer does not exactly reflect the mods versions loaded on the server right now...

This particular ID does not even match either BlockLogic or BlockResin on my setup... Attached is the ID map which I currently have for this server.

You can try and remove all the configurations (subfolders "config" and "redpower" inside ".minecraft") to try and re-generate all the IDs properly. Note that this may wipe all customization you have made depending if you are using any other custom mods, so make a backup first if this is not a dedicated install!

Kaomie, I noticed that a few weeks back, my server folder/settings are identical to the one being hosted on the last server, with the exception I'm no longer uploading backups to myself every 2 hours.

Yes the chunks I am digging were also generated some time back. I am thinking this is happening since the upgrade of RP2PR5 to the b2 version, whenever that was a couple weeks ago. A lot of the World had been discovered prior to that, so only some areas will be affected. That is within the 2000x2000 region at least.

I just noticed we are getting both RedPower and IndustrialCraft ores now (at least copper and tin). Pretty sure we used to have only IC ores initially, so I am guessing somewhere along the line RP ores generation got turned on without matching the block IDs or something (not sure if detection is automated or not nowadays, or if it happened with some of the mess with Forge versions and the ores dictionary). No big deal but it is a bit annoying to have to deal with double stacks. Probably cannot fix it now that the ores are in the wild (unless you do an offline world search&replace but the map is quite big so it may take a while) but something to keep in mind for the future.

Hmm yeah I stopped bothering when the server was crashing every 10min. I will be back when it's stable again

Actually you may want to wait until Forge is a little more stable too and doesn't get 5 updates a day and use IC2 1.97b when it's ready (notice the "b" )

Couple notes before I forget:

• Probably want to disable /weather, since usually people are fighting over it depending whether they use solar or wind, or just if they like/dislike rain.
• Probably want to disable World Anchors since most people do not understand all the consequences of using them (like the combination with RP pumps huge range past the loaded chunks = terrible for lava lakes and oceans) and the others are abusing them. They are perfect for RailCraft with the slow Ovens or with the Tunnel Bore but they make too many other mods OP, like anyone with a terrible EU production design just has to log after a week and swim in UU-Mat. At least limit to 1 Anchor per region max (and none in the Nether).
• Definitely want to protect mod chests if possible. I am perfectly happy with IC2 Personal Chests but people like to use Ironchests and do not know how to seal their base properly, so yeah lots of robbery drama. I guess it goes for protecting as many mod blocks as possible...
• Define some rules for RP quarry mining. Entire areas of the map are now looking like chunk errors as far as you can see and this is retarded. Until RedPower gets more reasonable with balanced power management and not magic block breakers which only require redstone signal and motors which can move huge frames just like 1 block, then yeah.
• Enable PvP globally so that we can defend against intruders. People can still decide to remove it on a per region basis.

EDIT:

• Have the management script restart the server every couple of hours (like maybe twice a day should be enough) to clear the memory since something seems to be leaking and eventually brings the server to a crawl and crash.

Thanks,

Okay so for the elevator control code I think we might as well write it directly in assembly. We will have to constantly swap between the different I/O expanders and also use the blitter directly for the cabin monitor GUI anyway. The only problem with that is you need to write the code outside MineCraft and inject it directly into the disk images so it is a lot less interactive to develop. Messing with the ACME Assembler now: http://ibm5100.net/redpower/setti…02-programming/

We could also use a more fully-fledged BASIC OS instead of the default Forth which would make things easier: http://bigfootinformatika.hu/65el02/ This is still very experimental though, not sure if it is worth spending too much time on this just now.

Still searching all the possible options at that point.

Timmie you need to configure RailCraft:
- in config/railcraft/modules.cfg: enable the trains module
- in config/railcraft/railcraft.cfg: add RedPower ores to the list the tunnel bore is allowed to mine

Thanks!

Oh well if you do not either add a new post or put a big note on the first post, this is sort of ninja editing and no one will see. Anyway seems to work fine on that server so far. Thanks!

Also since I was messing around in single player I think I know what I want to make next with the IC2+RP2 combo :evil:

Oh noes I think I left the alloy furnace on! And who is going to feed the dogs while the server is offline...

More seriously, forgot to ask the new IP and I do not see it updated in the first post?

Yeah it's a nice and powerful mod if you take a little time to learn the factory part and the few tracks / signals / detectors.

Timmie: okay you win, I cannot get a stable powered train system, so I guess it will have to be powered tracks instead. Here comes the gold spending.

RP2 has a bukkit port, but not the latest railcraft. I found a new host, so hopefully I can get it set up. The temporary server might be down for a bit tomorrow. Need to set up for the new server.

Okay. Note that there is already RC 5.2.3

New RC version 5.2.2 released which should fix the many issues we have with the Anchors and Anchor Carts.

EDIT: hmm also RP2 PR5b2.
But I forgot this is Bukkit so I guess we need to wait a bit for the ports...

Sounds like a plan.

Actually your second provider server had pretty good performances from what I could tell when it was available. If they ever get back to you maybe you could clarify what the deal is with these black-outs and give them another chance?

Oh noes and it happens just for the WE too and as I was getting my last piece of armor

I tried and checked a couple random IC2 servers today and they all are either desperately empty or filled with ugliness and/or dozen of whinny smart-asses who make me want to slit my wrists, so I do hope this server comes back!

In the meantime I am working offline on even more improvements to my Nether geothermal power-plants mwahah

Thanks,
