Ivalice (Original Server) Better Than Solo [BTW 4.8912]

[ehsanmp]

No.

Banned hoshi711 for bloodwood spam at nether spawn. While the auditing logs do not show any other actions around that time that would indicate obvious griefing attempts, bloodwood is very dangerous so I'm going to be precautious here. If you can explain your actions please post a reply here.

Edit: Revised after looking into other logged actions around that time.

I have never griefed before and I certainly wouldn't consider doing it again but that doesn't excuse what I did and I don't expect you to. I know you said post if I have an explanation, but I don't have one. I did want to post however to say that I am sorry for planting the bloodwood trees and the trouble they may have caused you.

Is the server down again? I cannot connect to it.

Cheers

Yeah looks like there has been some router related issues tonight. Talking with life about it now.

Thanks for the fast respond. Guess I'll go sleep. Are we going to get a rollback?

Hey hoshi! After I looked over my logs the ban really just became a precautionary measure. Once I have access to the server I'll lift the ban :)

[andreinawolf]

Nope :) This is just a network issue. The server is still online but we can't access it.

[andreinawolf]

Server is back up!

If you need inspiration, talk to Mikko_Blu, he is the shit.

I have a looting scroll for you by the way.

Hiya!

Veteran forum lurker here that would like to get back into BTW, but could use a tad of motivation in the form of company of fellow players.
Have played MC for almost 2.5 years now and started BTW at V2.63, according to my bookmark anyway. So while I'm not completely familiar with the new additions to the mod over the past year or so (although I've kept up-to-date by reading the changelogs and forums), I am at the very least not a completely incompetent walking disaster. In emergencies, I am also known to be able to handle myself fairly well on a wiki.

I made a bit over 25 trips around Sol and would like to think I'm a fairly friendly, helpful and casual kind of guy... though a bit quiet maybe as I tend to keep my mouth shut unless I have something worthwhile to say :p

I must admit that I am not quite the hardcore MC player I used to be though, so I'll probably won't be on for more than an hour or so a day on average, but if that's not an issue, I'd very much like to roll by the server every now and then~ Assuming there's still space on the whitelist of course.

Hopefully I'll see you soon, but thank you either way~

I'm jealous of you. I wish I could be patient enough to not play BTW for a year and then have all this fun content to test out.

Added to the whitelist. See you soon!

[andreinawolf]

Finally got around to creating a web site for the server at http://betterthansolo.com/

It's not hosted on the server itself, so I will be able to post a message there when the server has issues and the BTW forums is inaccessible.

Updated the OP to include links to various parts that were moved to the site. Kept the "Getting on the Whitelist" section here since this is the place to post whitelist requests anyway.

[andreinawolf]

I had to do a 37 minute roll back just now.

Something changed the session.lock file which MC uses to track if any other server has tried to access the world files. If that happens MC will stop saving chunks, which makes sense. Unfortunately, this also results in MC unloading chunks without making sure they'd been saved first.

I will put in place a change later tonight so the server actually shuts down if it encounters this problem. That will at most lead to 45 seconds worth of lost data.

Update:
===========
I've discovered the source of the problem. I made a copy of the server directory to run a separate instance of MC to test a latency issue. I ran it as different user to make sure I did not accidentally mess up the original copy in some way. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that I had set up that user so it would also have the same access as the other account.

However, I will still be modding MC so it takes proper action in this situation instead of ignoring it.

If you were online during this time and lost a good amount of work, let me know and I'll slave away in some mines to make it up to you.

Hi, my name is kaelvin, I'm Brazilian but I'm studying in Ohio, too, am a missionary, I'm a fan of minecraft, and knew better than the wolves just over six months and since then I have kept a home server to play with some friends, though their interest diminished and my rose, so would like to be part of this server, if possible.

When I moved to the server to the new hardware I forgot to put in place your patches. I'll set them up soon :)

[andreinawolf]

Yet another spawner that my portal was created in when I was making the rail line. This time it looks like it should have been a double spawner but instead one is cobble? Not sure what happened there.

I missed your post. I think this was around the time of the server outages. Only reason I discovered it was because of Ehsan's confusing "No" post lol. Added to the whitelist. See you soon!
