Re: Tekkit server

[JorgasElite]

Hey guys can you turn the server up?

[Aegonian]

It'll be up soon.

[JorgasElite]

It's time to turn the server on, right?

[Sataz]

once you finally start having fun with tekkit the server goes down

[Aegonian]

I shut down my laptop temporarily to prevent overheating. It'll be back online in a few minutes.

[JorgasElite]

Hey can you turn the server on now? Or are you busy?

[Aegonian]

It's online now.

[Aegonian]

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Do NOT carry Philosopher's Stones on your hotbar on our server! It seems that the strange block changes were caused by people right-clicking with the Philosopher's Stone, which is able to change various blocks into other blocks (like dirt to sand).

[Lunark]

So what kinds of stuff is everyone working on?
Also I'm back! Sorry for being gone for so long...

[JorgasElite]

I think my company will be next-gen equipment and drinks, like coffee. My company is also called Jorgas and Partners. Anyone can join!

[Aegonian]

Glad to see you're back!
Currently, I'm working on my company, which is a 'green energy'-producing company. I'm building solar panels for it, which require a lot of resources. I might also use wind mills and water mills, but those don't generate a lot of power...

I'm also still working on the interior of the Taemera mansion, where Ryiin, Zashi (my sister) and I live.


I'll make a city plan soon, too.

[JorgasElite]

I think it's time for some Tekkit server, right?

[Aegonian]

It's online now.

Not sure if Bocaj would like me in there

[kingnecromancer]

Guess who is back?
Anyway, I am basically notix's counterpart, he is mine, bla bla bla. I plan to have a mansion that is split in half, one all grey, coal covered and industrial looking, the other side all nature-styled and happy. Anyway, I will jump on to the server right now.

[kingnecromancer]

Great, now the server will not let me on. this is bugging me.

[JorgasElite]

Well well, look who double posted?

[Sataz]

I would like to ask if you'd be so kind as to put a nucleair reactor on the city plan. I would also like to build a nucleair reactor sometime in the future, I have already researched building one and I will build one safely ensuring the safety of the citizens.
Since I probably won't be able to use all the power for myself I will let everybody use of the MV/LV transformers, just not the HV power since high voltage has the power to destroy everything you hold dear

[Aegonian]

I want to build quite some things in the city: a city hall, a public park, a police office, power plants, factories, residential areas, a refinery, a nuclear power plant and more, all connected by Basalt roads. Problem is, I'm not sure what to do:

I copied the Server world to SSP today, and flew around exploring the terrain and building a few roads/prototype buildings and such for the city. After seeing the space we have left on the flat plains, I doubt we'll be able to really build a city there: there simply isn't enough space if we are to build everything I plan to build.
That, and the world seed has changed: remember the weird out-of-place chunks we saw when exploring? I copied the world's seed and generated a new SSP world with it. The terrain we are building the city on isn't there. The out-of-place chunks, however, are there. This means that our world is pretty messed up...


I also generated a few new SSP worlds with the seeds "Aegonian", "Lyiin" and "THEA", just for the fun of it.
The "Aegonian" seed got me a huge forest, with little more than trees for miles.
The "Lyiin" seed got me a snowy world, not very impressive.
The "THEA" seed, on the other hand, was great: it spawned me inside a moderately sized forest, which was located next to a swamp and a gigantic plains biome, perfect for a city. Next to the plains was a desert, which is very useful when you need oil, sand or cacti.

One option would be to keep our current world and downsize the city. Another would be to create a new world with the "THEA" seed, and copy some of the buildings and such we already made. I'm not sure if I can transfer the chests, machines and inventories and such, though, so we might lose some of our stuff... I could, of course, spawn back some of the things we would lose.


What do you guys think would be best to do?


Also, what plug-ins should we use? We currently have an explosion-nerfing plug-in, but I think we could use a few more. I'm thinking of an Enderman-protection plug-in, possibly a chest/door protection plug-in and a plug-in that allows you to use HD skins and capes (already found a good one, in fact). Any more suggestions?


EDIT: I just saw Veoline was on the forum yesterday. If you read this: we miss you!

[JorgasElite]

I really don't like that idea, you really just can't flatten out the terrain?

Nuclear Reactors are way to risky.

[Lunark]

Well I haven't done much on the server yet, so I'm fine if you used a new world.

[JorgasElite]

Well I do not want to start over again.

EDIT: Can you turn the server on already?

[Aegonian]

You won't have to start all over, as we can carry several things over to a new world.

Also, in order to show you why a new map might work better, I rendered maps of both worlds, and uploaded them on the forum (in lower quality of course, because the images were huge):

Current Map:



Possible new Map:


Even though the image quality has been reduced, you can easily see how much larger the plains on the lower map are, and you can see several weird chunks in the upper map.

[Ryiin Taemera]

I'm sorry Jorgas, but I can't see why it's such a problem to start over. Lyiin looked at all our houses through MCEdit, including chests etc., and you have absolutely zero resources compared to Sataz or Lyiin and me.

[JorgasElite]

How do you know that we don't have secret chests and most of our good stuff is in our inventory? Also, I'm sorry Ryiin, but I think mostly everyone except you wants to stay on this world. Did you ask King? No. Did you ask Releand? No. Did you ask Sataz? No. Also, we'r fine with the world we have. Better safe then sorry, do you want your items to all get lost to a "technical diffuculty"?

Also, seeing that I have less than you dosn't prove anything, other than I have less than you.

EDIT: I think we have enough room already in our world to build. We don't need more featureless plains.
