The last few times I have tried to get on the server I have gotten this error :

Hidden/Spoiler:

Failed to connect to the server and then on the bottom it says connection timed out: connect

I got on last Friday but from Saturday until now it will not let me get on.

My operating system is Windows XP sp3. thanks

That's a problem on your end. I don't really know what's wrong, but essentially, you're not connecting to the server fast enough, so it's kicking you off.

I'd check here:

To see if anyone else is having a similar problem.

Quick Update

I was fixing up some settings today. War should be live again (*crosses fingers*) and I deleted both test worlds from the multiverse, so we're back down to four. Hopefully that'll cut down some server lag. Also, I'm taking down the Teamspeak server until someone asks me to put it up. It was a good idea, but no one really used it (including myself). So unless we're planning an event or something, the TS server was just using up my CPU.

Hopefully that will reduce some of the lag.

@Fluffy, as per the Stargate plugin.

I noticed the second one, but for that one you HAVE to make the portals a specific way. And I don't think it will connect all of our pre-existing multiverse portals. So I COULD install it, but we'd have to reorganize/remake all of our portals, anyway.
As for the first one, you also have to make the portal a specific way, but multiple portal setups can be defined in the config file, so it's a little more customizable, but not much. Also it looks much more complex than our current system, so I'm not sure how it will work out for us, as I can't really figure out how to work it just by reading.

[Fluffy_the_ic]

Well, they both work. The one my old server had was the second one, and I liked that, and it's pretty easy to use. I had no idea they were different, whoops. Yeah, the second one's pretty simple. I mean, you'd have to get you, me, or Grev to build the portal, unless you had tons of obsidian to waste, but in the end all you need to do is click the button, type in your destination gate's name, and then walk through. I guess we'll just need to have a list of all the gates available to everyone. And since you can just enter a gate and go to any other gate on the server, it'd work fine. It would also not connect to our portals, but instead replace them, so I don't know if that would be worthwhile. Besides, it looks pretty cool. Maybe you could test it out a little?

[Twilight_Warrior]

It would also not connect to our portals, but instead replace them, so I don't know if that would be worthwhile.

That was my main point, really. Either
a) we reorganize our current setup (time consuming)
or b) we start a whole new setup from scratch (time consuming).

We'd also have to modify everyone's personal nether portals (Xav's, Dohnutt's, Null's, etc) to match the stargate design, and then THEY would have to possibly redesign their portal rooms to accomodate the larger portals.
Either that, or remove all portals in the nether, have their personal nether portals still go to the nether, then have a stargate portal in place of a portal hub.
Third option would be to remove the nether entirely, create a new nether (with the same name, as to not break the portals to destination "w:Nether"), and place a stargate portal in there.

On a side note, I've never seen any of the Stargate series, so I have no idea the significance of any of the little references. Just sayin'.

[Fluffy_the_ic]

I personally think that the second option is the best one, as it would most likely be the least time-consuming while still being useful. Even then, the Stargates aren't that much taller than a normal nether portal; only 2 more blocks, so in most cases that would probably mean either no expansion or having to put the bottom 3 stargate blocks in the ground and the top 3 in the ceiling.
A video showing its use, if it helps: Click!

[Twilight_Warrior]

Well, that and the space for the button. I believe Xav has all these fancy shmancy burning netherrack patterns around his portal. Anyway, I'll add the stargate plugin tomorrow morning. I'll have time to help with the server, then, as it's my day off. For now, you can put stargates in Gametoastia, TopHat, Shafhaja (or however you spell the accursed place), and Craig. Leave the normal portals and the nether alone until we can clean them up. We might still use some as a one-way ticket (such as to the sky city or something) and I still think we just need to trash the nether and start over. The Ghasts are breeding like rabbits anyhow, and theres no way to get to the bottom floor of the nether to harvest soul sand. Besides, does anyone really use that safehouse we built in there?

[Fluffy_the_ic]

It's Safahfja. Say it out loud a lot, it makes it easier to remember.

[Twilight_Warrior]

Sorry, Fluffs, I didn't get the stargate plugin put in today, something came up. Might be a little inactive next couple of days (server will still be up, though). I'll keep you guys posted.

Hey, TW, I've installed severa mods over spring break and I think it would be great to have them in Multiplayer.

Anyway, the Mods.
I don't know if they work in multiplayer, but here they are.

#1 The piston mod
This mod adds pistons that can move any block but bedrock, obsidian and other pistons. It can be turned on and off with a redstone circut.
Here's the link.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 686&f=1032

#2 the Plane mod

This mod adds planes to the game.
they can take off and shoot bullets and bombs.
don't know about the guns and bombs though(one word: griefers)
their pretty cool.
maybe you could restrick their use or the abbilyty to dropbombs.
could be used for fast travel. i.e. airports, landing strips.
this mod has a cople of requirements, howerev, and one of them gives guns,(IDK) parachutes, nightvision, grapling hook, ect...
acutaly, i just read that bukkit isin't compatible with this mod, not sure though,
www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=198188

#3 The airship mod.

Don't know if this one works in multiplayer, but its a cool mod.
lets players make airships, they can't shoot guns in its current release.
this could be used as an alternet transpertation methoud.
their about the size of a 3x3 or 4x4 cube.
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 12#airship

#4 Zans minimap

this mod shows a minimap, showing where players are.
you can also create waypoints, i.e. your base, gametoastia, ect...
http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic ... 5#ZansMini

So tell me if you think these mods are cool, and if you'ld like to impliment them or not.
don't know about, bukkit, though....

[Twilight_Warrior]

I'd need bukkit plugins, not mods, to do anything server-wide methinks.

[yoyoman]

This server is great in all ways Twilight_Warrior, but I think that you should put in these two plugins. http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/econ-i ... 602-670.40

I HAVE thought about putting in an economy, actually. A way to setup shops so players can buy/sell some rarer items, or set up pay-to-enter scenic/fun areas. But I can't really think of too much use beyond those two things. We could integrate iConomy with the portal plugin, but that just complicates things, not being able to use the portals without enough cash.

You could keep portals and then require iConomy to use Stargates. Also, shops would be useful, and maybe we could set up a system to buy property. I mean, a tool shop would be so great, as well as a material and armor shop, etc. I think that the plugin could be worth a shot, and if everyone likes it enough, then we could keep it. If not, then just uninstall it.

well this sucks, those are great mods...

[Dohnutt]

Would I be able to get a friend whitelisted? The IGN is Dio773

...Also... in my underhouse, I found this:

Hidden/Spoiler:

I'm not really sure if they took anything or anything like that but it worries me.
Well I just discovered that this "someone" took my wall full of furnaces.
How bout some anti-griefing?
ALSO, in the undercity, someone (presumably the same person) broke into the GHC (I'm not a member, I just looked through the door).
Admittedly, I did break the blocks beside the door, but only to see what the signs left by the person said. I replaced the wall with cobblestone. Sorry bout that.

But seriously, this person is making me mad.

I'd advise everyone to check their houses to make sure they've still got everything...

Can you update the whitelist, Twi?

[501st_commander]

Does the server have bock recording? If not, i'd want to find somehting thats has it.

[yoyoman]

Just wondering is the server updated to 1.5 yet? Thanks.

[Dohnutt]

It doesn't seem to be.

[ps2owner]

I don't think bukkit's been updated yet.
like none of the mods have been
