The Unofficial Brass Goggles Minecraft Server!

[The Corsair]

It's apparently a graphics card driver problem...

[Craig Snedeker]

Not sure how to PM on these forums (can you?) but my IGN is Rekedens, can you add me?

[Augustus Longeye]

I'm afraid you have to be a deck hand to 'unlock' PMing. We do it this way so that griefers don't come onto the server because who is sad enough to hang on a forum for an hour or two just to blow stuff up?
When you reach Deck Hand I'll be happy to add you!

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing these problems, but every time i try to log onto the server i cannot access it, is this because it is in the process of being updated so as to conform to the newest version of Minecraft or is just me?

if your talking about the:
"java.net.socketexception connection reset"
then, yes I have the same error.

[The Corsair]

It's probably just the server needing to be updated.

[Augustus Longeye]

I'm afraid gentlemen, from what I can find out, this problem isn't a clearly defined one. It's usually a problem on your end to do with drivers/java/firewall not being on the right settings and quite often pops up when minecraft updates. It might e the fact the server is running 1.4 and the new 1.5 update is out, and if you updated your clients that is why (the client and server have to match to play) but if not then there is very little I can do I'm afraid.
Try poking around the forums and see if they have any advice there, but from what I've discovered it's a client side problem.
Again, very sorry!

the server is not yet updated to 1.5
i chose not to install the update and have logged on fine
the server still needs to update by the looks of it

GG

[Augustus Longeye]

Right, the server STILL hasn't updated, I'll let you know and update the OP when it does. On a separate note I'm thinking of building a stargate inspired base under the forest behind the mine (under Walter's house on the trees) about 20 blocks underground. Is this problematic for anyone?
~Longeye~

[walternator]

its not a problem for me, and i don't think their are any mines that shallow

[Augustus Longeye]

Cheers Walternator, I was wondering if you had plans for underground. I don't think there is much at that level except the main shaft (But I'll but working away from that so it should be fine).
In that case I CLAIM THIS LAND!
~Longeye~

[Dr. makebot]

will you perchance call it this land 

On a more serious note, I would Like to start a train network with stations at different places on the map, as a more scenic alternative to the portal network.
is there anywhere in particular people would like the network to link?

[Augustus Longeye]

Yes. Yes I will.
We've already had a few... strange names, why not?

[Screaming Lord Pea Green]

When the server is updated and I can get back on, i'll make a start on an Area 51 complex in the desert to the north of the Spawn Temple. I wouldn't say no to a rail link to it at a later point when i have the boundaries sorted out.

[Augustus Longeye]

The OP has been updated, as has the Donations page (looking quite professional if I do say so myself... which I just did...).
My good Lord Pea, mine carts have been a little buggy up to now, same as boats, most likely due to server-side lag (not much I can do about it I'm afraid) but with the new additions to mine cart tracks one can hardly NOT build a trains system of some sort. You'll have to see I'm afraid.
Server is STILL NOT UPDATED which is annoying me, so I've sent a 'Critical Message' to servercraft and hopefully it'll be up shortly.
Thanks for you patience,
~Longeye~

[Augustus Longeye]

Server IS running, but Bukkit is not, so ALL mods are off (even the really basic stuff). That means you are basically playing vanilla minecraft. I'll let you know when it's all back.

~Longeye~

HAHA I understand! I hate griefers to. My friends had this server, and the one mod griefed us because our skywalk went "over top of his castle" arg we had to build one 3 times as long. So I know how griefers are 

[Augustus Longeye]

Indeed... nothing beats the sting of building something epic only to have it blown up, or smashed down, or filled with crap... Seeing as you'll spawn in my temple I'm a little protective of my baby
On a separate note guys Bukkit might be a while, so I'm not sure how to proceed with the mods. To my knowledge when I flip Bukkit back all the gates/bridges etc. will all come back on and work, but until then they don't. Of course I might be wrong and they'll all need rebuilding, but no sense in knocking them all down without need.
I therefore propose (because I want to) that we continue and make the best of what we have. I'll to through the OP and line out what we don't have so check that for more info!
If you have any suggestions PLEASE DEAR LORD TELL ME! I'm at a bit of a loss

[Gunner Gregson]

did anyone else here have issues with 1.5?
i got mine working again but it was rather annoying (crashed whenever i tried to build, place, dig, mine etc) walking was fine just the rest of it

GG

[Augustus Longeye]

Ah yes, I've heard that there have been a few problems with it. Notch has been made aware and it seems to be sporadic on computers. I wouldn't have updated had I known about this, but I've just found out myself. It seems to be a problem with client side information broadcasting (where as information reception seems to be fine; hence the walking), but the rest is hidden in layers of code so deep I began to forget what real words looked like.
I'd hope he'll patch it soon, within the next couple of days, but unfortunately it's on him now.
~Longeye~

[Gunner Gregson]

ok all sorted and everything is running fine, well almost.
im on the server and let me just say ARGH!!!! rofl my name has reverted to Hypopsycho its no longer red, portals are broke, i cant make it day, the world has ended as we know it, we are all...... ooh look a sheep.

GG

*EDIT* it seems my problem was with XAUs patcher, i wasnt using his 2.0 beta, after using it the game runs fine

[LukeHogbin]

Bukkit authors said that they'll wait until _01 is released. And since it was, it's only a matter of days before they release new version.

[Augustus Longeye]

Mr. Hogbin; that may have been the case, but we're actually running _02 at the moment so I think they're holing out for a little bit until Notch finishes all his patching.
~Longeye~

[LukeHogbin]

Ah yes, my sincere apologies, I'd forgotten about the _02 server patch.

[Augustus Longeye]

No worries, I didn't know about it either it just appeared to me
Though I should think it won't be long before there's _03 this updates changed so many things it's no wondered there have been a few glitches.
