DO NOT use the anti-lag feature. You wont need it anyway :)

PLEASE NOTE: CITYS WILL BE TRANSFERED IN A WEEK WHEN THE ENTIRE MAP GENERATION IS FINISHED. For now though, enjoy MY adventure update.

- Update: Authentication fixed. It is now synced properly.

ADDITIONAL NOTES PLEASE READ: Please use /SETHOME to set your home. You cannot use /home or /spawn. However, when you die, you will spawn at your home. Another thing about death. You have 3 lives. Not really lives. Rather, insurance. When you die, you will spawn at your home WITH your items. If you run out of lives, you will still spawn at your home, but your items will be gone. Tomorrow, ill configure it so that you can buy and "find" more lives.


MOAR ADDITIONAL NOTES
If you have the same IP address as the name you registered with, you WONT have to /login to the server. However, this is only temporary.

PS: I worked all week on this server. Donations are appreciated (but pats on the back work too).

Gettin real close!

All I gotta do now is add the plugins in and we are good to go!

One thing though, skyworld, underworld, and the ocean inst complete yet. However, will carve the oceans in tomorrow :).

Another thing, 1 city will be imported tomorrow too.

Registration issues fixed.

However, you have to re-register :(. Had to reset the db and redo a few scripts. Sorry about that.

As a compensation, I added a "redeem" code. Be sure to check your email for instructions!

PS: Emails currently aren't instant. Please wait ~10 minutes before you receive an email.

PRE-REGISTER NOW!

:D

Thank kohjix for helping me test everything. http://minecraft.sfxworks.net/

I didn't think it was possible...

I literally headdesked my desk. It ended with me sleeping. My head hurts a little, but im gonna continue to work on the site now. Sorry about the delay.

Oh, that and flash kept crashing on me multiple times. Ended up having to re-install windows 7. Dont worry though. Like I said, nothing ever gets deleted on the server. The world folder is still here.

Heres what I'll do

The server will be launched tomorrow as planned. However, only one city (ironcity) will be active. The border will be set roughly around 2500 meters. (Thats plenty)

As soon as I finish the site (which will be tonight. I will definitely go for tonight) Ill activate the new authentication server and everything will be good to go.

FYI: All work here will be transferred.

Quality over Speed

Lets see...where to start.

I have been running into some minor scripting issues with the website.

The guy who was making the client side ui (Storm Burpee) hasn't responded for 5 days.

Codename_b and R-T-B are hard at work but wont be done by monday.

Quality over speed. Patience. I am doing my best to make this the best server out there. I will have updates for you tomorrow.

PS: Im going to go ahead and learn java to speed things up after I finish the website. Its relatively similar to a language I already know so I should understand it within a day.

PSS: ...Looking for someone who actually wants to help without wasting time. Email me at sfxworks@gmail.com

Prepping for 1.7

Expect the site to be live on thursday at minecraft.sfxworks.net.

Expect the client side mod to be done by friday.

Expect the simple installer do be done by friday.

Expect the forums to be live on saturday at minecraft.sfxworks.net.

Expect the minecraft server to be live on monday at mcserver.sfxworks.net

UI Design preview

Designed it myself :P

Currently being coded by Storm Burpee! Wish him luck!

Progress!

Too real? :P

Just rented a web server for the site. Its sfxworks.net (however, it will be minecraft.sfxworks.net in the near future).

Storm Burpee says he can get the ui and chat channels done in a day. Also, it will work on low-performance computers. Think of it as a new client-side redesign vs a client-side addon (Basically, starting from scratch vs adding to whats already there).

Kohjix is doing some cool backgrounds for the website.

I am finishing up the design for the UI.

If all goes well, we should have everything finished in 24 hours.

Oh...wait...the map generation..

Currently, I am working with the author of phoenixterrainmod along with a few other plugin developers.

This drawing (Yes its bad. I drew it in a rush) should explain how the server will work.

Its composed of 3 worlds for 3 times the fun! (...I guess I say corny stuff when im tired....and say corny which I havn't said in years)

In any case, this SHOULD be my last all-nighter. Ill keep you guys posted!

PS : I am aware of 1.7 on Thursday. Everything should work just fine. We were the first server to have 1.6 with bukkit and we can do it again with 1.7!

Why do people do this?

This sets us back even more... Why did Galaxy do this?

Looking for someone to make the client side UI again.

Whitelist

Its instant. I modded it so that it automatically adds you when you register on the website (which is close to done). Please stop messaging me about it.

While you wait...

Something interested VANDIGO found on the internet.

Click and hold down the gray blocks to make them turn white. They ping a sound each round. Enjoy.

Oh yeah. Jobs for hire.

Server - Notice

The server will be down for approx 2 days while I clean up the system and prep for 1.7.

All your work is saved. You wont regret the wait.

NPCS CRASH THE SERVER

They are disabled. The server is back online.

mcserver1337.servegame.com:1337

And its back up

I appologize for that. Trying to delete a whole folder full of map files. (their like 1kb each but theres a good 9000000 of them).

Im deleting another folder but this one isnt as big. It shouldnt cause the server to crash this time.

HEROBRINE!!!

HEROBRINE!!!

THEY EXIST!!!!

THEY EXIST!!!

THIS IS NOT AN NPC! THIS IS A REAL HEROBRINE! iLL POST A VIDEO SOON!

Surprise Update!

Hmm.....
The surprise update failed. I know why though so Ill work on more testing today and have it up by tomorrow.

Programmers Needed.

This is an announcement to anyone willing to mod on request. I am looking for programmers willing to help with the server. Trying to become independent from bukkit. Please email me at sfxworks@gmail.com if you are interested.

Edit: I am very interested in programmers that are able to modify the map generation technique. If you are able to do so, please email me at sfxworks@gmail.com.

Edit: I will happily pay for you service. (Nothing big though. Around 10-40$)

Even more unique generation.

I came across a powerful tool that might be added to the world soon. It has to do with unique world generation. I already added unique world generation but THIS does it automatically lol.

Take a look of what could become of it.

Its done...

And the server is back up :)

The map should upload by tomorrow for all of you to see.

Server is Down

Sorry guys but to generate the map the server has to be down. Map generation has been running all day. Its at its final stage and I need all the RAM an processing speed I can get. It should be done in a few hours. Sorry about this. Ill fix any problems before it comes back up. ALSO don't worry. Your items were saved :P

"can i be op?"

No. Now stop spamming it in chat, stop posting it in my comments, and stop sending it to me in my email.

-sfxworks

Banned. Banned. Banned. HAHAHAHA

Grievers are so easy to deal with using the tech I have. Honestly, if your a griever, don't even try. You're just waisting your time. Its literally an easy 2 seconds of investigation and 5 seconds to undo all of your actions in the world.

On a side note, I am scheduling maintenance for Thursday. It will be a short 3 hour period of fixing a few mods and cleaning up the mess players who join and leave make. During that time i'll wire in the website into the server. When thats done it will be perfectly up and running.

Last thing. Im almost done with the rail line. All I have to do is fix up Iron City and help Vandigo (if she needs it) finish the bridge that crosses the lake.

Heres a sneak peak at the last mini-bridge you cross before entering Iron City

Since the banner is still down, ill continue to post the server's address at the bottom of each post.

Notice: Authentication is not yet forced but encouraged. Use /register to create a password to login each time you play.

UPDATE: Caves no longer cavein because it conflicts with a protection addon.

Anti-Lag updated

Click here to download it.

If you have used it before, change all ports (in anti-lag and in Minecraft) to 1440. So you would connect on localhost:1440 vs localhost:25565
