have you ever ran a java program before on your machine

gritty tinsel
#

yes the forge installer for 1.7.10

#

I need to update my java no

true ether
#

Anyone here familure with getting ProjectPortals working with Bungeecord?

#

How can i protect a region from the world edit?

true ether
#

GriefPrevention

#

Or if you're on Sponge, FoxGuard might work.

#

Be right back

bleak notch
#

Worldguard

left lodge
#

why use foxguard when u can use griefprevention on sponge ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

true ether
#

Don't they do two different jobs?
I assumed FoxGuard prevented entry into set areas and GP stopped intereaction in a a set area
I think I read someplace that they even work together

leaden ocean
#

Just an fyi. Foxgaurd hasn't been updated for a while and was barely useable when it was popular. As an alternative there is universe guard. However, grief prevention is the best one out there.

true ether
#

I might end up switching then.

lyric shale
#

How can i do that @bleak notch

#

I'm using worldguard and people without op permissions can edit some regions with worldedit

Hey guys if someone wanted to get into IT what is a good fun job to start in, I've done some CertIV IT, CCNA never completed them but I think I like linux,cloud,web,networking

#

I don't want to be stuck at a desk answering phone calls

mystic steeple
#

imo, a job that you would have fun doing

ashen lintel
#

What's imo

mystic steeple
#

in my opinion

ashen lintel
#

True

#

I'll think

#

Anyone else have an issue with the Adminshop deleting shops some times?

true ether
#

Does anyone happen to know of another spongeVanilla compatible plugin/mod that has the same functionality as ProjectPortals

Are chess players here?

true ether
#

I kind of like that op doesn't get full reign with lp, but at the same time it's rather annoying when I'm trying to do something. :P
It's apparent that something is not being inherited down the line..

true ether
#

Is the wiki keeping up with updates?

true ether
#

Discovered why I'm missing some PJP nodes.
Admin get pjp.button, but do not inherit pjp.button.place from that.
Which means I have to actually give the ranks that get PJP every node...

pastel grail
#

does anyone know of a plugin "essentials" like that can handle a players UUID instead of their name? example /give <uuid> minecraft:wool:0 1 ?

true ether
#

Why take the time to type out a UUID?

#

@pastel grail ^

true ether
#

Also, I'm pretty sure /give is a minecraft command, therefore it would be something to ask from your server provider (sponge/spigot/bukkit/whatever)

true ether
#

Luck, I like your website background!
I have a turbo right-click button, and if I hold it down the whole thing starts to slow down. I feel if I hold it down longer it may cause issues/crash your site.

twin warren
#

nah

#

it'll just crash your browser

#

lol

true ether
#

Your "image host" link is broken

twin warren
#

yep ik

true ether
#

Or a warning on dog medicine
"May cause drowsiness. Alcohol may intensify this effect. Use care when operating a car or dangerous machinery"

onyx saddle
#

most of my server community is adults over 30.. so we always have a good laugh when the yungins do stupid things.. ignore the warnings. on the last server we had lanteacraft so we were using the stargate to go to the other dimensions lots of signs around that said "If you can read this, you're standing too close" ofc, they ignored them and got vapourized and then whined.

true ether
#

facepalm /)_-

onyx saddle
#

yep, so we had our fun and made them wait around for a while before we gave them thier stuff back.

#

in this pack we have the "Grue" mod, it attacks players in dark areas after about 10 secs or so, i think it even warns players they are in an area that's too dark, we'll see how many die cuz of that warning. XD

#

us old folks got to have our laughs.

true ether
#

Have to keep yourself entertained somehow.

#

I've noticed something in the last three years.
Fewer servers run by "13 year olds", more ran by "30 year olds"

onyx saddle
#

it's not easy to run a server, just setting it up is a chore.

#

and ofc the young guys let thier friends have all sorts of freedom and eventually one of them has to try out soem of the forbidden stuff and blow up the server..

true ether
#

I hear you.
I've been working on mine since just before Christmas.
My innitial thought was "I'll have this open for New Year!"
then it was "I should have this open before Valantine's day..."
Now it's "I'm lucky if I get this ready by September"
Doesn't help I'm doing everything on my own so far...

#

Just spend the last hour looking at "food label fails". I don't know how some of those things get past the inspectors.

onyx saddle
#

our 1.7.10 server was becoming a ghost town cuz 1.7.10 had run it's course, so i thought i'd start working on the 1.10.2 server, got most of it done and all we were doing was waiting and waiting and waiting for thaumcraft, and now that we know it's dead for now i thought "ok, shouldn;t take me more than a couple fo days to finish it up and get it up and running, that was about 2 weeks ago" cuz it turns out Forge Essentials is CRAP!

left lodge
#

1.11.2 is getting all the goddies now

true ether
#

Spigot or Sponge?

onyx saddle
#

i expect we'll up to 1.11.2 or 1.12 in about 6 months or so.. i knwo there are a fe wof the good mods aren;t there yet.

#

sponge

true ether
#

Go for Nucleus.

onyx saddle
#

yep, got that, luckperms, universeguard, griefprevention.

left lodge
#

why universeguard?

onyx saddle
#

server regions.

true ether
#

Foxguard?

left lodge
#

what does it prevent that GP cant?

true ether
#

Or just go with GP

#

I plan on switching to gp

onyx saddle
#

i think foxguard is dead or close to it.

true ether
#

Foxguard is on its last breath

onyx saddle
#

seems the dev is too busy to work on it..

true ether
#

The latest update was just an api bump

#

Does GP do more than FG?

left lodge
#

but @onyx saddle what does universeguard do that GP cant? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ no reason to have 2 layers

#

gp does everything

true ether
#

Like LP, or Nucleus... ๐Ÿ˜›

left lodge
#

u know what i mean

true ether
#

If I could get LP, Nuc or (soon) GP to add elements from the other plugins / mods I use, I'd only use a "swiss army knife" mod. Mash all of them into one .jar

left lodge
#

some idiot was using a custom jar with merged polis/gp code and tried to get support cause it wasnt working xD

true ether
#

Wow....just, wow.

My dream setup would be having a single jar collaboration from the authors of all the mods/plugins I use, set up like modules with their own config files.

onyx saddle
#

well.. i'm used to WG from 1.7.10, i had a lot of troubles setting up GP admin zones in 1.7.10

true ether
#

But, like I said. It's just a dream

onyx saddle
#

mostly it would be for server regions to prevent players from breaking things, like the railway, etc.

left lodge
#

just get the golden shovel and do /adminclaims

#

then do /accesstrust public

#

done

true ether
#

I suspect a lot has changed since 1.7.10

onyx saddle
#

@true ether you don;t want one mod that tries to do everything or plugin, that's when you run into update problems, if one part of the mod is broken and the devs don;t think it's important then you're stuck with a part fo your server that doesn;t work..

#

liek FE and nether portals.

left lodge
#

for a simple setup of GP then its just 2 perm nodes u need to use

onyx saddle
#

@left lodge i'll try to do mostly GP claims if i can, but UG is there if it'd be easier for me.

#

i'm a lazy and soemtimes busy admin.

true ether
#

I know that it's not going to happen. Getting all 40+ authors to work together would be a miracle in itself

onyx saddle
#

lol. true

leaden ocean
#

GP is harder to understand. But let's put it this way, if anything bypasses GP, it is because of sponge, not GP itself.

#

So little to no bypass will occur with GP. The only thing I know that can bypass it, is psi which is because of sponge.

left lodge
#

and all u need is a golden shovel ๐Ÿ˜„

leaden ocean
#

Yep. Understanding the flags takes some getting used to. But after that, it's easy.

onyx saddle
#

well, i've been using WG since 1.2.5, so i knwo the commands, no wiki needed, so would only take me a few mins to set up a region, GP requires learnins.

#

but it looks liek it's changed since 1.7.10 too

leaden ocean
#

Universe guard isn't supported by a head developer of sponge who will sort bypasses out as soon as they're found.

#

If you're looking for a lazy option, go with universe guard. However, if you're looking for an incredibly reliable plugin which will make your life easier. Go with GP.

onyx saddle
#

that's why i have both, i have my lazy moments.

left lodge
#

i mean with little to no setup/config, for a "admin claim" all u do is get a golden shovel do "/adminclaims" and then right-click 2 corners and u are done

#

the longest time for me is to move between the 2 corners xD

onyx saddle
#

can GP do polygon selections?

left lodge
#

yea

#

no

#

i was thinking cuboid

#

that it can do

onyx saddle
#

ah see.. i'd want to protect the eintire spawn island

leaden ocean
#

Only squares so far :P

onyx saddle
#

i think i remeber that too from 1.7.10

leaden ocean
#

Yep

onyx saddle
#

one way to stop the newbs from doing anything at spawn is to just make a region and deny them everything but doors..

true ether
#

Post a sign "Don't even breathe here"
Which would be no problem, because pixel constructs don't need oxygen.

onyx saddle
#

nobody reads in MC.

leaden ocean
#

My bunch seem to :P they can't read the welcome channel on discord though >_>

true ether
#

I do. It's how to know what to do on an adventure map...

onyx saddle
#

we had signs in 1.7.10.. spawn was an island to.. the signs would point to tunnels and bridges to the mainland.. and even to the dock where they could get free boats... "HOW DO I GET OFF THE ISLAND??? OMG!!"

leaden ocean
#

I would just say "... swim"

onyx saddle
#

i did a few times..

leaden ocean
#

I'm in the process of making my own servers rather than being an admin in my current placement. I'm hoping I don't attract too many like that XD

onyx saddle
#

some players i thought would be good additions to the server were idiots, other players i thought had bad atitudes stuck around and now they're part fo the community.. you just don;t know..

true ether
#

The last server I was staff on that wasnt my own, there was only one path you could take from spawn to get to the next area.
"How do I get to the next town" was a frequent question.
I eventually started saying something along the lines of "Kill X cows, put their hide in a dispenser in a "z" pattern. leave that there and go kill x chickens and bring back their feathers. Put the feathers in the empty spaces. Break the dispenser but don't pick up any of the items. Now turn around 180*. Then you'll be in the next town"
They'd ask where the nearest dispenser was.
"In the next town"

leaden ocean
#

Hahaha

onyx saddle
#

LOL!!

true ether
#

Seriously though. East from spawn was blocked by FoxGuard. North and South was blocked by trees and the only way they could go was West.

leaden ocean
#

I just saw "Foxguard" and got flashbacks D:

#

Sigh... RIP autocorrect

onyx saddle
#

i always keep in mind.. you don;t kwno what thier previous experience with other servers was.. soem servers are set up so poorly that they expect to ahve to buy thier way anywhere or perform tricks to get anywhere.. i can tell by some of the questions i get asked..

#

i'm always being asked how much money to donate to the server to rank up..

true ether
#

That sounds like a factions server thing.

#

I plan on having two ways to get a rank.
Donate real money to get the rank now
or grind your butt off, earn the points and get it for free.
As an example, let's say I was selling "Bronze" rank for $10.00. It might be ten million points for it.

onyx saddle
#

personnaly i don;t like the idea of exchanging money for privilage, i think it sets up a bad dynamic on the server, but i guess it would depend oin how it's done..

#

my server just has perm groups.. the longer the player has been around and the more trust they earn.. the more privilage they gain..

true ether
#

I'm only accepting donations to cover server costs. 90% of anything over that will be donated to a charity.

onyx saddle
#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ good diea..

true ether
#

It will be selected by the player base themselves.

leaden ocean
#

I will never personally accept money from someone. My plan is to have the money for server costs and if the players want a plugin which needs to be custom.

true ether
#

The remaining 10% will be left in a paypal account and slowly build up over the year. Then on the server's 'birthday', 100% of all donations will be given

leaden ocean
#

Aww, that's really sweet!

true ether
#

I worded that wrong.
The 10% will be build up to cover server costs for the birthday...that way I can afford to donate it all for that month

#

I am partial to the "extra life" charity

leaden ocean
#

Yassss

onyx saddle
#

i was paying out of pocket for the server for a year on OVH.. then i told the community i couldn't really afford that anymore so 4 of them donated parts to create a box to run the server on.. so i supply the power and internet, plus the power supply and case.. another player bought a motherboard, one of them got a cpu, another donated some ram, another got an ssd.. so it's fairly cheap to run now, but at some point we need to upgrade again.

true ether
#

That's awesome. you know that you have something people like when they are willing to offer that level of support

leaden ocean
#

The OVH servers are brilliant, but bloody expensive XD I'm currently on a machine but we'll be migrating following launch to a ovh server.

onyx saddle
#

most important thing for me has always been to build the community

true ether
#

^ yes!

leaden ocean
#

That cannot me emphasised enough! My current placement has one of the worst communities I've ever witnessed. Main reason why I'm leaving to forge my own place.

true ether
#

I should really get back to what I was doing over checks clock four hours ago...

Ooooo sweet pc

left lodge

just know that core count dosnt really matter

onyx saddle
#

$200 bucks.. so about the same as buying the parts seperately..

#

lol.. don;t burst my bubble fiveeyz..

left lodge
#

for MC u want the best GHz per core u can get

#

๐Ÿ˜›

leaden ocean
#

XD

#

I always say that and people don't agree with me!

onyx saddle
#

true .. but it does have lots fo ram.. could always upgrade the hdd..

leaden ocean
#

They keep saying we NEED a 12 core cpu over an i7 with 4.4ghz

left lodge
#

thats why ppl go for i7 and not xeons to host minecraft

true ether
#

Check with benchmark sites (like cpuboss)

onyx saddle
#

i think we have an I5 , 3.4 G now... let me look

leaden ocean
#

Vps always seem to use Xeon. OVH are the only ones I've seen distribute i7s

onyx saddle
#

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz, 4 cores

left lodge
#

i have a 2600k laying around in closet and i still bought a Intel Xeon E3-1231V3 3,4GHz

true ether
#

My host is using i7-6700K

left lodge

cause "i need it to host servers"

#

but that was some years ago now, lesson learned ๐Ÿ˜›

"Base frequency 4.0 GHz"

i need to downlaod moar ramz

leaden ocean
#

Lemme show you to OVH game package. It's pretty damn awesome

left lodge
#

๐Ÿ˜„

leaden ocean
onyx saddle
#

merjillon.. we had the $30 package until about 18 months ago.. i did like ti but it was hard to maintain the cashflow.. some of the palyers suggested donations etc, but i didn;t want to start down that path..

true ether
#

< Can't afford that much...

leaden ocean
#

Yeah, they're expensive XD

onyx saddle
#

i had enough $ around at the time that i could pay for a year in advance.. but didn;t have the saame amoutn around a year later.

leaden ocean
#

They're good though and OVH support has gotten better

left lodge
#

looks nice

true ether
#

However, for dedicated machines, I understand the cost.

#

I also understand the low prices of my shared box

leaden ocean
#

That has just reminded me of another site... time for some searching

true ether
#

Didn't you tell me it was OVH that supplied my host?

leaden ocean
#

Those are also good value

onyx saddle
#

they are resellers for OVH

leaden ocean
#

Yep. But they're still decent

onyx saddle
#

yep.. but someone told me they seel shared servers.. not sur enow.

leaden ocean
#

Hmmm... Lemme investigate that

left lodge
#

but getting Anti-DDoS is nice, to damn annoying when it hits u

true ether
leaden ocean
#

I'm pretty sure they're still dedicated servers. I can't find any info on them being shared.

onyx saddle
#

not sure.. i dodn;t knwo much about renting an online server, it's soemthing somebody told me.. so i just decided to go directly to OVH to rent one.

leaden ocean
#

OVH is better for sure. But these are in some cases, $100 cheaper a month.

#

But you do pay for performance after all :/

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. it was a great deal.. nice fast server, but just couldn;t keep up with the cost.. i could ahve asked for donations, etc, but what if there wasn;t enough donations one month.. then i would ahve to make emergency payemts.. i didn;t want to lose the whole server cuz of a late payment, etc. so we just went with the dedicated box in a closet.. XD

#

pregenning this map is taking forever.

leaden ocean
#

Nucleus I take it?

onyx saddle
#

yep.

leaden ocean
#

What is your world border?

onyx saddle
#

box just isn;t strong enough

#

10000 x 10000

#

but RTG, gravestone mod, reccurent complex, muon.

leaden ocean
#

Hmm, not as large as mine then. I usually choose a 16k radius

onyx saddle
#

also orecontrol mod

leaden ocean
#

Oh... RTG and recurrent complex..
RIP

#

It'll probably take at least 5 days of constant process. Make sure you're using the nucleus mixin as well! It'll be faster

#

Slightly faster, but it's something

left lodge
#

trired mixins for 1.11, didnt work

onyx saddle
#

i tied the mixin.. but a couple fo times the box just froze .. i didn;t even knwo it til i looked at the console and saw nothing had happened for 2 hours..

leaden ocean
#

That's just spongeforge For 1.11

#

Oh, so your server stalled?

onyx saddle
#

yep..

leaden ocean
#

Oh... well then. Not much can be done :/

onyx saddle
#

no console errors .. nothing.. just froze.

leaden ocean
#

How much ram?

#

For a pregen, I increase the server ram to 10gb

onyx saddle
#

6G

#

box has total 8G, so 6 for the server..

leaden ocean
#

Oh I see! Nevermind then

onyx saddle
#

we thought we had bought a motherboard that could take 16G, but for soem reaosn it can only see 8G.

leaden ocean
#

6gb will be fine for the most part

#

And what java params?

onyx saddle
#

uumm.. let me look..

left lodge
#

did some calc and it would take me 62 days to pregen

onyx saddle
#

lol..

#

-Dfml.queryResult=confirm -Xms5G -Xmx5G -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:G1NewSizePercent=50 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=80 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=10 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=50 -XX:+AggressiveOpts

leaden ocean
#

These were suggested in the nucleus discord. Might be worth a try: -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M -XX:+UseStringDeduplication

onyx saddle
#

oh.. forgot to chage that back to 6G .. was playing with the memory when i added mixins

left lodge
#

G1GC is nice, but will make the server use slightly more ram

leaden ocean
#

I have many sets of java params I'll be testing XD

#

There's apparently work well as well and don't use g1

#

-XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseCMSCompactAtFullCollection -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode

onyx saddle
#

well.. i was looking for the settings CPW posted somewhere .. couldn;t find them but found this from "aichen" (?) lots of links to the same post..

gilded nova
#

Always remember to add the UTF-8 ๐Ÿ˜‰

onyx saddle
#

UTF-8?

leaden ocean
#

People are having varied experiences with all of them. It's best to test as many as you can to see which fit your machine

left lodge
#

G1 is adviced to be used if u plan to allocate more then 8gb

onyx saddle
#

i'm just not sure hwo to find out what's best.. i knwo about warm roast but have no idea how to set it up or run it.

left lodge
#

just google eaach flag and read about it, best way

#

most of the long flag options ppl paste are needed for java 7 but default for java 8

gilded nova
#

I only use:
-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=45 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 -XX:G1NewSizePercent=50 -XX:G1MaxNewSizePercent=80 -XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=10 -XX:G1MixedGCLiveThresholdPercent=50 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Custom.jar

leaden ocean
#

Using more than 8gb isn't recommended at all for mc now. Especially when you can run sf3 on 4gb and beyond on around 6gb

#

But with its memory leaks, you can probably get away with setting it lower than that.

left lodge
#

yea

gilded nova
#

8+GB's is useless, it'd be more useful if you're expecting a large server, to seperate it into two seperate servers, to release stress on each server, dividing the players, and stress on the machine/server

onyx saddle
#

see.. all these suggestions for jvm args..

#

stares into space

leaden ocean
#

XD

gilded nova
#

Don't get pulled into a blackhole

left lodge
#

dont copy and remove duplicate flags xD

onyx saddle
#

the blackhole of jvm args

leaden ocean
#

They're incredibly important now so we have to rant to you!

#

Just to emphasise their importance :P

gilded nova
#

One of the most important advice for a new, or even old server owner, is to NEVER use the /reload command...

leaden ocean
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

gilded nova
#

Even for development servers, I tried using it when I was coding IndieCore, and it just simply broke the plugin..

onyx saddle
#

oh.. haven;t usd that since 1.2.5

gilded nova
#

I haven't eur that since when I was testing it w. a development server ;p

#

Anyone get the "eur" pun? ๐Ÿ˜›

left lodge
#

yea ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

but isnt /reload only for like bukkit shit?

gilded nova
#

It's like a reboot with keeping the server alive

#

Since I got bored and remastered MineQuery, then got bored and remade AdFly functions, now ima try to get Votifier vote send PHP code working, and try to make a server list website again ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I raged last time cause I was sooo confused on the votifier vote send php system... -.-

left lodge
#

im just happy i got my bungee setup working with forge sponge and mods xD

onyx saddle
#

how does one get the GP book on the server?

left lodge
#

its not a book, u get a link to a youtube vid shoving how easy it is to use

onyx saddle
#

hhmm.. saw soemthing about a book on it's wiki..

left lodge
#

the video is from 2013

#

and is also linked if u use GP for 1.7.10

onyx saddle
#

found it sort of..

#

/claimbook [player]

Gives a player a manual about claiming land.

left lodge
#

all i get when doin that command is some text in chat and a link that that vid

onyx saddle
#

really.. crap..

#

i hate watching MC vids

#

"i'm going to explain mod X while i farm and play with animals" ๐Ÿ˜›

left lodge
#

that vid is nothing like that, its 100% informative in a calm and soothing voice ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

he sometime whispers in ur ear

onyx saddle
#

yep[.. but i like to read.. go back if i need to reference something.. hard to know what to go back to when you're watching a vid.. but if that's all we got then it'll ahve to do.

leaden ocean
#

Just read the wiki then :P the issue with using a book in it would be keeping it up to date :/

#

And with bloodshot being so busy, it's unreasonable for him

left lodge
#

and the vid is simple and is still relevant after 5 years

onyx saddle
#

blood is the dev for GP?

left lodge
#

yea for the sponge version

onyx saddle
#

but the plugin doesn;t use a chest to amke a claim anymore?

left lodge
#

it does

onyx saddle
#

oh.. hhmm.. wiki is confusing then.. it talks about using the gold shovel.

left lodge
#

yea u can also use the shovel

gilded nova
#

The chest is an autoclaim feature

#

for anyone who forgets to claim before placing their chests

left lodge
#

but only the first chest u place

gilded nova
#

Not sure about that, I've only used it once

left lodge
#

whe u place the second chest outside the claim it will tell u i needs to be claimd

#

or if u place blocks outside the claim

onyx saddle
#

i'd like an option in the cfg to change the block to something else.. when new players are lookign for an area to amke as thier base they place a chest and don;t realize they've made thier claim.. they get confused ..

left lodge
#

indeed

gilded nova
#

Yeah, like "You start with 1024 blocks!" then they go to claim after placing a chest, and have like 10 blocks

onyx saddle
#

i'd like to give them a hay bail or tell them to use a log to amke thier claim.

gilded nova
#

Yea, it'd be useful, or to set corner blocks or something

onyx saddle
#

yeah..

gilded nova

If it has an API someone could problably create it

left lodge
#

the autoclaim only take 100 blocks (default amount u start with)

#

there is a api

onyx saddle
#

not sure how big the initial claim os going to eb yet.. 100x100 or maybe close to 50x50..

left lodge
#

its 10x10

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. definately going to need to change that..

gilded nova
#

I'd say start small, so new players don't claim large amounts and ruin it for real members

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. i was thinking 50x50

left lodge
#

Radius used for auto-created claims. Set to -1 to disable.

    auto-claim-radius=4
#

Minimum area for non-admin claims.

    minimum-area=100
    # Minimum width for non-admin claims.
    minimum-width=5
#

all are defaults from the config file

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. i'll ahve to look at what setings i had in 1.7.10

left lodge
#

they all have a default if u dont change it

onyx saddle
#

yep.. i think i ahve that set up right.. i've got a player testing it out on the server nwo and he's saying the chest doesn;t work.

left lodge
#

if u dont set griefprevention.blocks-accrued-per-hour then everyone will by default get 120 claim blocks / hour

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. haven;t fiddled with that yet...

#

player isn;t having any luck making a claim.. nothign about no perms.. i'm goign to ahve to hop on and try..

#

mabe i broke it.. ๐Ÿ˜›

left lodge
#

all they need is: griefprevention.user

leaden ocean
#

Only use 'griefprevention.user' and 'griefprevention.admjn' to ensure you don't mess it up :P

left lodge
#

never ever use "griefprevention" on anyone it will mess up the permission checks for that group/player

onyx saddle
#

well.. as admin i have griefprevention.* for the perm

leaden ocean
#

No!!!!

left lodge
#

thats is same as griefprevention

onyx saddle
#

oh.. oops..

leaden ocean
#

Use griefprevention.admin and inherit griefprevention.user from the default group

onyx saddle
#

k.

left lodge
#

or else u as admin will be denied to do stuff that dont make any sense xD

leaden ocean
#

Plus, you'll be given a smack by bloodshot if you needed help :P

onyx saddle
#

lol.. don;t want a blood slap

#

Limit on how deep claims can go.

    claim-max-depth=0
#

is that Y level or blocks below the player?

left lodge
#

it was recently changed for 2d claims to cover from 0-256 i think

onyx saddle
#

blocks or level?

#

whene i would make regions for players i would always ahve the region go from bedrock to the build limit.

left lodge
#

bedrock to maxbuild height

onyx saddle
#

k.. so that's the y= level then..

#

and /gpreload doesn;t seem to work.. unknown command

left lodge
#

works for me

#

version of gp and sponge?

onyx saddle
#

griefprevention-1.10.2-2.3.1.295

#

spongeforge-1.10.2-2281-5.2.0-BETA-2363

#

but forge 2297 cuz a couple fo the mods want that

left lodge

that dont matter

#

just dont have a forge below what sponge ask for

onyx saddle

left lodge

got latest LP?

onyx saddle

does it say anything in the fml log?

onyx saddle

nope..

left lodge

odd

i just tried the golden shovel too.. nothing

#

is GP supposed to go in the mods or plugins folder?

left lodge
#

u can config that in sponge.conf

onyx saddle
#

i tried /gphelp and it said unknown command

left lodge

by default its mods

onyx saddle

You're missing a bracket or comma in your config

GP is failing cause of LP

onyx saddle

in a group yml or the general LP cfg?

left lodge
#

did u manual edit the permission files?

#

or u using DB storage?

onyx saddle

yes i did.. .. @true ether put up some cfg code so i could have all new players jpin the newb group instead of default.. just goig to look at that now..

\o/ lp works..

#

slight glitch with GP

left lodge
#

changed the claimTool or something?

onyx saddle
#

nope.

#

i think the perms are wrong.. the parent group for a group should be the current group and the group before or the curent group and the first group? newb?

left lodge
#

newb is the second group they get into?

#

if so, then that is the parent for default

onyx saddle
#

i'm in the admin group.. should the parent groups be admin and then mod? that's the group before admin..

#

newb is the first group players get added to.

left lodge
#

if admin is parent of mod then u only need admin

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. i think add parent adn set parent confused me then..

#

i want admin to inheret the perms form mod..

left lodge
#

yea

#

to reduce the amount of perm error u get then dont remove the "default" group

onyx saddle
#

well.. i think the info i got for the cfg from brentique removed the default group but i i didn;t add any perms to that group.. the first group a new player joins is newb.

#

so in that picture should it say parent groups are admin and mod?

left lodge
#

no

mystic grotto
#

oh okay

left lodge
#

if admin is parent of mod then admin will inherit the perms from mod

onyx saddle
#

in my brain.. the way i see it is admin is at the top of the ladder, but i ubderstand that newb is the parent group for all groups subsequent to it.. so the next group up the ladder would inheret the perms from newb.

#

so in that pic i would expect it to say the parent for admin would be mod.

left lodge
onyx saddle
#

maybe i'm not understanding it properly..

left lodge
#

owner is parent of admin -> mod -> member -> default

#

im using rankupper to move ppl to member after x amount of time

onyx saddle
#

yeah.. i think i might have parents set up wrong then.

#

i'm not sure what the diff ebtween set and add are.

left lodge
#

aha

#

set changed my primary group and set my parent to owner

#

so just use add

onyx saddle
#

i just used set... i'll try add again..

#

k.. so doing /lp group admin info shows the right parent group, it's onyl when i look at my own info it says i have 2 parent groups, admin and newb

left lodge
#

deafult group is still newb?

#

in the info

#

so if the default group is newb and the only parent they have is newb, then all ur perms need to go to newb

#

all perm u want ur players to have

onyx saddle
#

well.. newb has the ability to break blocks.. intereact with the world, and create a claim,

true ether
#

I'm mildly annoyed.
I have enable-command-block=true in the server.properties
I have permission minecraft.commandblock.edit.block and .minecart, but I can't place a commandblock, open the commandblock gui, activate nn existing commandblock

onyx saddle
#

i seem to recall seeing something about vehicles in a cfg..

#

i'm trying to figure out why i can use the compass to jump around but one of my players can't.

left lodge
#

are u in creative?

true ether
#

Scratch. Do you have WorldEdit installed?

onyx saddle
#

yep..

#

found out it's a seperate perm for the tool.

#

there's jumpto and jumpto.tool\

true ether
#

WE hasn't really updated the wiki recently. There are a few duplicate lines.

onyx saddle
#

well.. i remeber using that perm in 1.7.10, but ithought this time it was only the jumpto perm.. and the ability to use the compass was automatically granted, guess not.

#

cuz i see options in the WE cfg for the nav tool.

#

does luckperms read it's cfg in order.. so if i give admin worldedit.* and then fixwater=deny will it still deny fixwater or will the worldedit.* over ride it?

#

in pex, as it searched for a perm, it would stop it's search as soon as it came across a perm that allowed or denied a perm.

true ether
#

I'm not positive, and I don't want to give you bad information...

onyx saddle
#

i'l ask in the other channel later..

onyx saddle
#

having much better luck pregenning the world now.. disabled every mod but world gen and added nucleus mixins back in.. no crashes yet.

#

crosses everything.

true ether
#

Two hours later, how did that work for you, @onyx saddle?

onyx saddle
#

the pregen? it's about 90% done now.. i added nucleus mixins back in.. it's still crashed a few times but at least it's faster..

#

it crashed an hour after i went to bad last night so lost 7 hours of pregen time..

#

it's taken days to do this.. ๐Ÿ˜›

#

ans \o breantique

#

so really can;t do much with the server until it's done cuz 80% of the mods are disabaled.. even luckperms.

#

every 5 mins i'm glancing at the mcma screen to see if it's crashed yet. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

you're comand blocks were screwing with your sanity?

true ether
#

I have no issues with the command I had posted. I don't expect everyone to have the same experience.

onyx saddle
#

just MC fooling with you.

true ether
#

๐Ÿ˜›

onyx saddle
#

i want to create a side group.. not part of the regular groups, it's for players that want to work on server projects.. so they can go into creative and use world edit, etc, i want the group to be between 2 of the regular groups so it will inheret the perms of one fo the groups but i want to be able to put players in it that are of a higher group without them losing perms.. if that makes sense.

#

would it just depend on wieghts? would i need to make a track for the regular groups and keep it out of the track?

covert nimbus
#

Players can be in multiple groups, and will display the prefix/chat color with the highest weight

#

If you add your higher ups to the new group, they will gain the new perms without losing any olds ones

onyx saddle
#

ah ok.. cool..

#

what about players that are in a group 2 steps down.. i don;t want them to inheret perms they shouldn;t have yet but i'd still like to put them in the group so they can use creative and world edit.. maybe i would need to add more perms to the side group so it wouldn;t need to inheret perms from the previous group.

#

i understand it in my head, just hard to explain.

covert nimbus
#

I think I get it

#

If you want it that specific, I wouldnt have it inherit it from anything

#

Add all the perms you want that group to have and have it completely unlinked to any other group

#

Then you dont run that risk

onyx saddle
#

that's an idea..

covert nimbus
#

I am new here, so sorry if I am not actually helping xD

onyx saddle
#

but they would lose perms if they were added to that group?

#

no.. you're being helpful.. thanks..

#

it's more like i'm thinking out loud too ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

but i think you're right.. add perms to that group that are specific for that group and don;t worry about inheritence

lyric shale
#

Anyone knows a plugin which displays better the plugin list (alphabetically)?

Nope

#

it doesn;t have to link to that website, but it can still make a list of your mods folder.

lyric shale
#

Plugin list

covert nimbus
#

@onyx saddle No, they would have all the perms of both groups

#

Groups dont cancel out

#

Even if only one is displayed

onyx saddle
#

ah ok.. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

lyric shale
#

I mean if i type in /pl the output is kind of strange

onyx saddle
#

where does the /pl command come from? sponge?

leaden ocean
#

Sponge is /sponge plugins

#

I believe /pl is spigot

onyx saddle
#

ah.. i don;t know much about spigot/bukkit specifically, always been a bukkit/forge server.

leaden ocean
#

I couldn't imagine ever going to spigot now. I'd find it too boring after messing with modded mc for so long D:

onyx saddle
#

me too.. one of my first servers was a bukkit server for me and a few friends.. but once we found out about mcportcentral and modified mods.. we were hooked..

leaden ocean
#

And, let's be honest. I prefer the sponge community far more than the spigot community.

onyx saddle
#

i still have anger about the whole evilseph/wolverness bullcrap that went on..

leaden ocean
#

Yeah...

onyx saddle
#

so i don;t really have much respect for the bukkit community or any of the left over "leaders"

leaden ocean
#

I'm just hoping sponge does a good job. It's doing it so far

onyx saddle
#

i do liek it so far too.. good attitude.

leaden ocean
#

I lost interest in spigot after the premium plugins were introduced :P

#

If a plugin is good enough, I'd buy it. But I'd much rather do it somewhere else.

onyx saddle
#

but one thing that has bothered me.. i've been getting the newsletter for a long time and i never did see any kind of announcement about sponge being more or less ready to use and this is where you as a server admin can find out hwo to use it.. has always been mostly info about developing mods/plugins.

#

i'd never pay for a plugin.

leaden ocean
#

Sponge has been ready to use for a very long time. The announcements moved past that stage :P

#

There are docs, but people don't know how to navigate to them

onyx saddle
#

but i never saw any announcement in the news letters, i was sort of waiting to find out when it was server ready, cuz ofc i was expecting ti to be like caldron/themros.. a server jar.

#

i probably would ahve mobved to sponge in 1.7.10 if i knew it was just a mod more or less

leaden ocean
#

That isn't possible anymore :/ hence why it's a forge mod now

#

Sponge wasn't a thing in 1.7. It started in 1.8 when cauldron and thermos were abandoned

onyx saddle
#

yeah true.. it started out in 1.8 but i still would have used it in 1.7.10 if i could have.. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

but just saying they could probably get more adopters if they were more agressive about getting out info about how to use it on a server, i'm sure i'm not the only one that expected it to be like cauldron, a server jar

leaden ocean
#

Yeah, that's true :P when sponge got into the spotlight, I expect they did or they just expected people to read the docs.

onyx saddle
#

i don;t have time to read docs, i'm a server admin.. i have lots of other work to do ๐Ÿ˜›

#

show me the car.. show me where to put in the key and start it.. i'll figure out the rest eventually.. ๐Ÿ˜„

leaden ocean
#

I'm also a server admin who handles 7 servers :P I got time for them though

onyx saddle
#

and i'm not a comp wiz or coder, so sometimes i do feel intimidated.

leaden ocean
#

That's fine :P the docs are simple for anyone. It's when you get to the api you'll get confused.

onyx saddle
#

lol.. i'l never get to the api.

leaden ocean
#

I've had enough of autocorrect for today...

#

I will eventually. It's a goal of mine

covert nimbus

granite hull

the sponge apis quite nice ๐Ÿ˜›

onyx saddle
#

i'm never geting near it..

lyric shale
#

It seems that it doesn't have that many plugins

granite hull
#

it has the ones you need

onyx saddle
#

i think the more it's used.. the more likely more plugin would be developed and i don;t think it's meant to be a choice between plugins and mods, just plugins do a much better job at server admin than mods can.

granite hull
#

it might not have the silly amount of useless plugins that bukkit had but its got whats nessary

onyx saddle
#

^

granite hull
#

well technically a mod can do anything a plugin can :p

covert nimbus
#

We use Sponge and love it

granite hull
#

its just ALOT more work to use the forge api compared to sponge

covert nimbus
#

Converting was a pain xD

onyx saddle
#

from the server admin mods i've tried.. they aren;t even close.

granite hull
#

yea because forges api is a pain xD

#

like dont get me wrong its great and all but to add cmds ect is a total pain xD

onyx saddle
#

i tried getting forge essentials to do soem of the more basic things for 2 weeks and just gave up on it., it really pissed me off when i found out it broke nether portals and they havent; even bothered fixing that.

granite hull
#

yea i prefer plugins they handle pretty much everything admin wise better

onyx saddle
#

yep.

granite hull
#

(and the apis better ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

onyx saddle
#

it just seemed like to me FE was trying to reinvent the wheel and soem of thier desicions just didn;t make sense.

#

if you keep developing your mod to make it easy for 12's and piss off the other users then eventually you'll only appeal to 12's.

granite hull
#

^ yea

true ether
#

It's all about those twelve year old server owners...

I spent the day fixing someone's laptop.
They won't explain how, but their hard drive got shocked, and the reader arm touched the disk. They had to ride their bike across town to buy a new hard drive.
The part that took the longest was getting at the drive. There was no bottom access pannel to remove it, so I had to carefully remove the keyboard, take out all the screws, remove the top, take out the drive and put the new one in.
It cost them $75 for the drive. Even though I told them I didn't want money, they will be back tomorrow to pay me...

onyx saddle
#

they should pay you .. and donate to a charity..

#

and not ride a bike with a laptop..

they probably wiped out on thier bike and really hurt the laptop.

true ether
#

Alright. Glad I asked. ๐Ÿ˜›

gilded nova
#

Well if they're begging for subs.. then that's a HUGE lie haha

#

If they needed money, they'd make videos and earn active subs, not beg for random people to simply subscribe...

#

also, you'd need around 25,000+ active subscribers to make even a bit of a provit from YouTube

#

Every 2,000 views make you just about $5 (Depending on the campaign, advertisement type, etc.), so yea, simply having another subscriber DEFINATELY will not help ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

Also, if you think that's NOT alot, consider this;
AdFly - You get traffic to (most the time) malicious advertisements, and they're paying you $5 for 10,000 views, while they're being paid $25-$50 for those advertisements..

#

What types of social media, or websites, do you guys believe are useful for promotion?
Twitter | Facebook | YouTube | (Pintrest?) | What do you guys think or those, or ?

#

@true ether most who say that kind of stuff are lying. Also, Twitch/YouTube almost never pays bills. The ad revenue is aweful. You get more from Adfly than YouTube half the time, well at least in my experience.

You gotta keep in mind, this is the internet and you are a pawn to someone else's game. What you just asked is exactly what these people want. They want to spread the word that someone lost their job, or whatever and to help get supporters. Then they magically get their job back or another job. They never lost their job. When I lost my job, I had to get off my ass. Stop streaming and YouTubing and go out and find a job. I got a shitty paying job until I got the one I'm in now where it's a full time job at Chick Fil A (I have previous experience there and they pay me $12/hour so it's comfortable).

#

Most "rich" YouTubers make money off on sponsors and merch.

Can't discuss it because it'd be too bug, but I'd assume they'd be smart enough to stop this glitch from working

@gilded nova I never said it was affecting it, I said I was adding a bunch of features without trying to create lag

#

@gilded nova what hosting did you recommend a few days ago

#

?

#

nvm

gilded nova
#

@heavy sapphire I always suggest Contabo & OVH for new/small servers for their cheap'ness

leaden ocean
#

Ovh for cheapness >_>

gilded nova
#

OVH has some of the worst support, Contabo I haven't had experience with their support yet

leaden ocean
#

Ovh support has been perfectly fine with us

#

Meh. Must just depend on who you get a hold of

tepid thorn
#

Hm, thanks for the info about Contabo - hadn't seen them yet. Currently with OVH, no issues currently, but it looks like Contabo offers more cores & memory for the price. (for dedicated boxes)

twin warren
#

you get what you pay for -- cliche but it especially applies to rented servers

leaden ocean
#

Yep. OVH is pretty expensive for what they offer, but they're pretty damn reliable from what I've found. Plus their gaming servers seem pretty decent

tepid thorn
#

We have 2 of their dedicated gaming servers and I really have no complaints - although we're also fairly small

leaden ocean
#

32 or 64?

tepid thorn
#

64

twin warren
#

they're popular in the MC community because of the free ddos protection they offer

leaden ocean
#

2 64 can host a lot of servers

#

I suppose the best setup would be an enterprise package which allows for better upload speeds and more data for hosting databases and bungeecord. Then use the gaming servers just for the actual servers.

#

I've just checked out Contabo and it seems decent. I'd just be cautious about a catch if there is one because those prices for the hardware are more than decent

#

Oh wait! Not sure if it's the newest hardware. That'd explain it

fierce vector
#

all the data centers so far away ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

tepid thorn
#

So far location hasn't been an issue for us with OVH - I'm located in the center of the US (Missouri) but using their Canada datacenter and our ping is normally around 35

fierce vector
#

yea lol im in NZ so OVH have only just put servers into australia which could work for us but i still think owning our own gear and colocating it is cheaper in the long run

leaden ocean
#

ah, fair enough :/

fierce vector
#

though our curent gear is coming up for 4 years old so its time to spend some money ๐Ÿ˜›

Any suggestions for my footer?

last void
#

Use font awesome for the icons lol

flint sapphire
#

font awesome is so 2012

#

svg is the future

gilded nova
#

@last void it is fontawesome ๐Ÿค”

#

What's svg

flint sapphire
#

a vector image format

#

so the social logos wouldnt look so fucked up

#

since fonts were never designed to be abused as icons

last void
#

Hm i use font-awesome and they look awesome i dont know why they are so bad on this screenshot ๐Ÿ˜„

flint sapphire
#

all the font looks really bad tbh

#

even the text has super weird outlines

heavy sapphire
#

Contabo has 95% uptime

flint sapphire
#

that sounds pretty bad

true ether
#

I think it looks bad because of compression.

gilded nova
#

I've had no downtime at all

#

I wonder when someone will create a good and simple economy plugin... (like how LuckPerms is also a good and simple permission plugin)

twin warren
#

simple

#

wow

#

i'm offended

sterile socket
#

@twin warren you have done amazing things. especially with the web editing. i love it. thank you

twin warren
#

haha

#

I was joking

#

but thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

true ether
twin warren
#

lol

true ether
#

Luckperms is by far the most user-friendly permission plugin I have ever used.

near halo
#

@twin warren simple in "easy to use"

#

(because LuckPerms is easy to use and doesn't need you to configure a bunch of things just to get it working)

twin warren
#

yeah I was just messing w/ you ๐Ÿ˜›

near halo
#

(seriously, why nobody creates a good economy plugin? the only one that is "good" is CraftConomy but it is outdated (it still works but it has some MySQL CPU usage issues))

true ether
#

I'm not sure if nucleus is planning an economy moduel or not...

gilded nova
#

I wished there was a good plugin like TokenManager, but updated more often, and could handle multiple currency types...

#

I'd seriously pay for a plugin like that

true ether
#

Spigot?

gilded nova
#

?

#

I don't mean like go up and hire a developer, I mean I'd pay for a premium plugin like that, I don't pay developers for plugins, I don't trust them to not sell it to someone else

#

Honest opinions? Anything else I should add (Gametype(s)) ?

stoic hare
#

@gilded nova The server I help to manage pays developers but before we "hire" them, they agree to a set of terms. I don't deal with the development team myself but that stops them from selling the plugin. Most developers aren't do that either from what I've experienced

gilded nova
#

I still don't trust anyone haha, that's why I've been teaching myself java

stoic hare
#

Fair enough lol

#

We're quite lucky too, our network is large too so we've got players who know how to code and wish to join the development team

#

They don't wish to be banned so they won't sell them either lol

gilded nova
#

@near halo what do u look for in an economy plugin that doesn't already exist?

near halo
#

@gilded nova not that they are bad... is that almost every economy plugin is unmaintained

gilded nova
#

Isn't vault an economy plugin?

near halo
#

Nope

#

It is a plugin that allows other plugins to hook with it

#

So developers doesn't need to support every single economy plugin when they need to do money related things

gilded nova
#

So what would be in an economy plugin?

near halo
#

@gilded nova /money, etc

gilded nova
#

Is it like shops? Or just a way to like manage money etc

#

Then other plugins hook into it for shop creation

near halo
#

@gilded nova managing money

gilded nova
#

Hmmmm

near halo
#

I'm currently using CraftConomy

gilded nova
#

Link?

near halo
#

it "works" but it is unmaintained

gilded nova
#

I don't know why, but my website just stopped being respnsive -.-

#

Hmmm

#

So you're looking for a more maintained economy plugin, tempted to start writing one then if it's actually sought after

#

most people just use Essentials though

#

Yeah ik

#

Essentials is horrible tho

#

Ngl

#

Essentials, EssentialsX, bEssentials

#

Yeah it's all horrible imo

#

to you

#

Yeah xd

naive elk
#

It's horrible but works for what's needed

gilded nova
#

Yeah exactly

#

Why so many kids gotta shorten words, I can only keep track of so many

naive elk
#

Who says they are a kid o.0

#

Lol

gilded nova
#

What do you mean?

#

What's imo

naive elk
#

For imo in my opinion

gilded nova
#

And I'm not a kid ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

naive elk
#

^

near halo
#

@gilded nova yeah but Essentials' economy is kinda bad

#

If you have a lot of players the performance of it really goes down

gilded nova
#

I'll have a look into what an economy plugin does etc and I'll see if I can get round to writing a decent one

#

However my free time is like 0 ATM, lotssssss of work to do ๐Ÿ˜‚

true ether
#

If you do follow through with that, if you make is work on Sponge, it would be much appreciated.

left lodge
#

whats wrong with EconomyLite? it still works ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

gilded nova
#

Thing is for an economy plugn would it be better to make it premium but like $2/3

#

or just open-source and free?

soft topaz
#

@gilded nova U got a death wish?

gilded nova

lmao I rated the wrong one

cause someone was saying how they were commenting on the other dudes post

@gilded nova
In general, I personally would be more willing to donate $20+ when I have it to spare than to pay $2 when I don't have it but need a plugin/mod.

true ether

Does anyone happen to know what the deal is with WorldEdit-Core?

left lodge
#

what?

true ether
#

WorldEdit 6.1.7 has a -core file with it.

#

I'm wondering if I will need to have the core client side, or if it's a server side thing.
Maybe I should do some research. ๐Ÿ˜›

left lodge
#

i dont have it

#

just get worldedit-sponge-6.1.7-SNAPSHOT-dist

gilded nova
soft topaz
#

@gilded nova I don't personally like it

gilded nova
#

That's cause you're mad though ๐Ÿ˜‰

soft topaz
#

no.. I just don't like it

#

Not my style

#

this looks good

gilded nova
#

I feel like the green goes good with the minecraft theme, I'm not locked-in on a color scheme though

#

Lemme see how the gray/blue looks

#

The color is '#2c3540' incase you think you'd be able to find a more suitable color, if you think it looks weird also

#

by the way, anyone that helps me in (almost) any way, feel free to DM me your server IP, and your IGN so I can make a list of people that helped me, and give them some free promoted slots ๐Ÿ˜›

sterile socket
#

Anyone know if there is a plugin for bungee servers that would allow you to see ALL players logged in across the network? Instead of just local players? Also show only when they login or out from the network as a whole?

gilded nova
#

BungeeTabListPlus

#

If you wanna show like
"Notch disconnected from Factions"
"Notch connected to Creative"
"YourMom connected to TheKitchen"

Then I suggest something like ChatControlPro + ChatControlBungee

sterile socket
#

I just want to see when they connect to the network. I don't care what server they are on

left lodge
#

get MultiChat just dont use the chat part ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

shows when they connect/disconnect to the network

gilded nova
#

Time to panic, SpigotMC is down

#

That was fast o.0

fierce vector
#

@gilded nova what separates your server list from all the others

gilded nova
#

The huge difference right now, is the fact that mine has almost no features at the moment.. haha.. ha.. >->

#

I've been contemplating a "rating system" aside from the votes, where users can review the server (Hence the 5 stars on the promoted servers) give a small review, rating, just for another fun feature I suppose, still haven't thought it out fully

Going to try to make the website run on MySQL information, rather than using PHP and using the users computer to get the servers information.

Going for a simple, clean, easily navigatable looks & features

lyric shale
#

anyone knows an alternative to customjoinitems?

gilded nova
lyric shale
#

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

opaque barn
#

@gilded nova you should have a modded section on your minecraft server list :D

gilded nova
#

of course, I plan on setting it as a universal listing, so server owners can simply 'tag' their server, to show what type it is, then users can go into a 'categories/tags' section, if they wanted to find something specific

opaque barn
#

cool will you have reviews?

gilded nova
#

Yea, I'm adding a voting feature (Votifier) and a review system, that results in stars being added to your server

#

I'm currently 'sorting' out the sorting system right now ๐Ÿ˜‰ So users can sort servers by rating, votes, players, version, status

opaque barn
#

version as in minecraft version i assume

#

make sure multiple versions can be chosen ๐Ÿ˜ƒ there are so many ways to support multiple versions

gilded nova
#

Yes, and of course, my server ran bungee 1.8 through 1.11.2, along with ViaVersion, so I understand the hate when they don't allow multiple versions to be selected...

#

I'm trying to figure out how to use $_GET along with a secondary $_GET since I'm planning on making the website multilangual, so right now it's
www.domain.com/index.php?lang=en-US
Then when they press a sorting button I want it to add '&sort=ranking' without simply setting it to
/index.php?lang=en-US&sort=ranking
When their language is spanish or something...

opaque barn
#

cool maybe i could translate finnish for you later ๐Ÿ˜‰

gilded nova
#

Sure, that'd be great, I haven't met any finnish players ๐Ÿค”

opaque barn
#

now you have ๐Ÿ˜›

#

what are you using for language detection or do you have to choose it manually

gilded nova
#

manually at the moment, but I'm sure I can do a php detect language type or similar

opaque barn
#

yep id assume

gilded nova
#

I just added an ahref to the buttons at the top to set a sorting type, while grabbing their current language type by a variable in their language so it'd keep their language when they switch sorting types
<a href='http://localhost/serverlist/index.php?lang=<?php echo $language["lang-type"]; ?>&sort=ranking'>

opaque barn
#
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];
#

tho might want to loop through available languages

gilded nova
#

Right now I'm using a simple

<?php

$lang = "en-US"; // Default Language
if(isset($_GET['lang'])){ // If it's specified in URL
$lang = $_GET['lang']; // change it to specified language
}
require("C:/xampp/htdocs/serverlist/languages/".$lang.".php");
?>

opaque barn
#

cool

gilded nova
#

Did not know 'onClick' existed until just now ๐Ÿค”

#

However, since it doesn't show like a URL, nor do I want it to, ima add ยป ยซ around the text on hover through css instead

opaque barn
#

how else would you know when somebody clicks?

gilded nova
#

<a href="">

#

I just mean onClick and url redirect

opaque barn
#

ok

gilded nova
#

I forget how to do the effect since I deleted it from my css ๐Ÿ˜‚ damnit

opaque barn
#

css is hard :D

gilded nova
#

Aha got it hover:after + content, and yea, my css is SO messy right now

#

kinda ugly, since it's on the theader, and makes the boxes larger when you hover, and kinda freaks out ๐Ÿค”

opaque barn
#

is it like much bigger or only slightly

gilded nova
#

Slightly, but it bugs me ๐Ÿ˜‚ I think simply having a background-color change is better

opaque barn
#

i dont notice it

gilded nova
#

I removed the adding ยซยป on hover, right now it's just an orange color when you hover over the th

#

I'll make a gif with it on right now

opaque barn
#

maybe the status could be uptime % and change background color from green to red if online or not

#

oh yeah thats anoying

gilded nova
#

When I was setting it up, I spaced out on the servers ip, so I added a modal on banner click, that'll open up the servers information more-detailed, so uptime would be nice to add inside of that more-detailed modal

#

Also, I haven't worked on coding the system just yet, I think I'm going to have to code it in python or something.

Instead of the servers information being passed through PHP, meaning the client pings the server, adding 15-25+ seconds of page load time, I want a system to automatically scan servers every few minutes, and update a MySQL database with the information "Players | Status | Uptime | Ping" etc

#

As of right now, the page takes 0.0079 seconds to load ๐Ÿ˜„ Which I'm very proud of haha

#

especially since I have an extremely low-end computer

opaque barn
#

ping is a bit of a contravercial thing because well its just site <-> server

gilded nova
#

true, so maybe I can add the ping through PHP in the modal

opaque barn
#

but thats localhost right

gilded nova
#

Yea

opaque barn
#

no i meant like who cares about the site -> server ping

gilded nova
#

Yea, I can make it ping through php though using this function
function ping($server) {
$constructor = 'https://mcapi.ca/query/'.$server.'/info';
$raw = file_get_contents($constructor);
$json = json_decode($raw, true);
return $json['ping'];
}

#

Which is the client > server, instead of website > server ping

opaque barn
#

what voodoo macgic is that

gilded nova
#

I've learned a lot more about CSS from this project, and I'm super happy about that, cause CSS was always a HUGE pain for me, and it's PHP? ๐Ÿ˜›

opaque barn
#

php is server side...

gilded nova
#

Hrmm...

#

Lemme upload the project to my server

#

Didn't install apache ๐Ÿ’”

opaque barn
#

i dont think i have 200~250 ping to my server in france

gilded nova
#

lookslike I deleted my project I already had setup ;-;

opaque barn
#

i could quickly download this onto my web server

#

does it need to be apache?

gilded nova
#

no

#

php didn't load right i guess

#

cause PHP doesn't load in an .html lmao

opaque barn
#

i downloaded the git project on to my server its /MineQuery/

#

right?

gilded nova
#

That was a project a friend made, I don't know if it actually works

#

You'll also need the core.minequery-remastered.php if it's not in there

gilded nova
#

yea he derped, he thought I meant make MineQuery a website, when I said EXAMPLE WEBSITE xP

#

Ima just assume your right though

opaque barn
#

its there

#

tho i need something to run..

gilded nova
#

I know, that website folder he made was just a website to redirect users to the github, he didn't make any actual examples

#

Well do you know any methods I can use to get the players ping to the server?

opaque barn
#

no

gilded nova
#

Multitasking: Fast & Furious + Coding

#

I'm googling for methods also though

opaque barn
#

wait how do i use the minequery ping thingy

gilded nova
#

There's examples on the github

opaque barn
#

like i need to print it right

gilded nova
#

no? question

#

1sec lol

#

Throw that in your index.php

opaque barn
gilded nova
#

not working for me

opaque barn

its a blank page for me

I found a client-side to server ping example though

Doesn't work for me on my website though ๐Ÿค”

opaque barn
#

this is for a website right

ping for a website*

gilded nova
#

yea

#

well 'server'

opaque barn
#

are jsfiddle servers in the us*

#

bc i think i dont have 300 ping to my server in france

gilded nova
#

not sure?.. o.0 but it should have been client side

opaque barn
#

click on Javascript

gilded nova
#

Oh well, ping isn't that important though

opaque barn
#

you see there is jQuery

gilded nova
#

At the moment anyways, it's more of a side-feature

opaque barn
#

maybe its jQuery

#

orrr maybe not

#

but now imma go sleep bye

gilded nova
#

ok peace

gilded nova
gilded nova
#

@gilded nova can I be honest?

#

Its ugly

#

Hopefully thats not the final front end

#

lol its just a table

#

not the entire web page

#

Ok good

#

So mean ๐Ÿ’” lol just kidding ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Cuz that looks worse than mcsl lol

#

Right now I'm just coding a server control since I got a bit side tracked with this new project

#

Ah

#

Im making a pet plugin ๐Ÿ˜„

#

For mc

#

Idk if it'll be any good

#

But im doing it

#

It's better to code it yourself, rather than use a crap downloaded one

#

Mhm

#

Which is why I'm doing ut

#

It*

#

Im not gonna put it on spigot lol

#

Maybe i should.. as a premium resource ๐Ÿ˜„

#

But i dont meet the premium resource requirements yet

#

Anyways I'll stop rambling, good night

#

I was doing other things lol it's only about 10pm, I'm not going to bed...

#

I'm giving myself stone from my localhost XAMPP web panel ๐Ÿ˜‚ super pro coding when you get stoned by your server ;p

gilded nova
#

@gilded nova this is the whole design I've got setup so far, I know the headers horrible, but I haven't thought of a better design just yet...

#

Can I completely redesign that for u?

#

@gilded nova

#

Wow so da rude ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

What's so wrong with it then

#

Its only one thing

#

Thats making it so cringy

#

The background grey

#

Is too light

#

Make it #4C4C4C

#

Oh I know that, I needed the grey for contrast

#

I promise it'll be better

#

Because with the dark footer it just dosent work

#

Much cleaner already

#

Maybe 555555

#

Also, maybe a blushish tint like the footer has

#

Bluish*

#

Blue-ish*

#

It's navy blue though ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Then do that

#

Just a lighter navy

#

I see no change of the bg

#

Lemme find u the hex code

#

;3

#

little lighter lol

#

Lemme get out my laptop

#

Its 1:40 am one sec

#

what time is it for u @gilded nova

#

11pm

#

gg

#

try #324460

#

Almost 12, was eating some jelly donuts waiting for you haha

#

Huge difference, extremely blue

#

wyt

#

on the page bg

#

not the footer

#

xD

#

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

actually, do #343e4c

#

yeah ur footer is good

#

its just that the page dosen't fit the footer

#

How's the header space look to you, should I add a small divider, similar to the divider above the footer content, but smaller?

#

How abt this

#

can u just send me ur index.html

#

and I'll fix it

#

then send it back

#

xD

#

Nah ๐Ÿ˜›

#

mk

#

lemme see the header with the new bg color

#

#webDesigningThruDiscord

#

actually I'll brb, I'm gonna grab a monster energy drink and some food. I have to be up in 6 hours and it's just easier to stay up all night than be tired

#

and yes, add that lil divider to the header

#

Sorry was fixing it ๐Ÿ˜›

#

hm...

#

try #29313d on the page bg

#

The header just looks so odd to me...

#

lil less blue
