Noobstown General / Re: mining world resets?
« on: 14 Jan 2013, 15:06:08 »
Just curious as I haven't been on long enough for one.  My question is, is the mining world the same and same spawn point in it after a monthly reset or do we get a new location to mine in with new mineshafts and such?

Complete new seed for the world and new spawn in that world, resets usually on the 1st or 3rd (If late) of each month.

Site Announcements / Re: TeamSpeak returns!
« on: 31 Dec 2012, 11:20:51 »
I logged in to the Teamspeak server and changed my name to MysteriousListener to try to entertain some people. I got kicked within 5 seconds although no one said anything about me in verbal or text chat. So I rejoined and quickly typed in my Ign to change the nickname from Teamspeak user. I was banned before I got to the second g in my name. Will I get a chance to use Ts later on?

This is the same night we was hit by around 20-30 trolls constantly connecting hurling abuse/swearing I guess you connected at a bad time, we set a rule of only connect with Minecraft name or kick as most of those who were connecting did not having anything to do with either servers just pure trolling. Lawrence probably got a little trigger happy haha! I'll unban you just try and use your username for the first time connecting.

Server Announcements / Happy Noobmas! (For the 25th)
« on: 23 Dec 2012, 01:52:23 »

Well it's almost the end of Noobmas in Noobstown... he has packed up all his items and is preparing for the big day! (Don't forget to open your Calendar window on the 25th!)

This year Noobmas has given the greatest gift to the server.. better than anything you could have ever possible asked for (Actually this item has been asked for ever since it was removed...Over 9000 times) Pistons! Not only pistons but Villager trading too!

Break down:

Noobmas gift to the server = Villager Trading and the return of Pistons.

How will they work?

Villager trading

Villager traders will only be available at spawn unfortunately, we cannot alter ever single Villager around the world. These traders at spawn will be enable you to trade emeralds for items; that's right! it's time to use all those Emeralds you have all been collecting.

Pistons (A lot more complicated)

This is useful information regarding our updated custom piston extension cooldown system. It will hopefully outline a few of the changes we have implemented to allow you to make the most of our new pistons.

Possible Questions & Answers
  • Do both sticky and normal pistons now work then? And if yes; do they both use the new extension system?
    Yes. Both sticky and normal pistons will now work as part of this update and both work using the new extension system.
  • Will my contraction which does X work still?
    Whilst it would be great to be able to say yes for everything the answer is sadly no. Features which can be legitimately useful were being exploited as part of some of the piston bugs; this is what we have attempted to fix, but in doing so we know the some machines will also break.
  • Why have you made this change?
    The change has been introduced in order to hopefully fix several bugs/exploits which resulted from the fast pulsing of pistons.
  • If Mojang ever properly fix pistons will you go back to their default functionality?
    If we can ensure that the bugs surrounding pistons have been completely fixed then it is likely we will revert our custom changes and go back to the much more functional original pistons. However at the current bug fixing rate this is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
  • Has the change adjusted the crafting recipe?
    No.

How the Change Works
As to not make this post as big as the Minecraft wiki page regarding pistons (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Piston)  I'm only going to explain how the changes we have made change how the pistons technically work.
  • Pistons will retract as normal, according to the redstone signal which the piston receives. When no signal is given to a piston it will retract.
  • Pistons will now only extend once every 7 seconds irrespective of the redstone signal going off and then turning back on.
  • Once a piston has extended (at a certain location refer to the next point for more information regarding this) it cannot re-extend until 7 seconds after it retracts.
  • The 7 second cooldown time starts from when the piston retracts and not from when the piston first extends.
  • If you extend a piston at a certain location and then a new piston is put into that exact location the extension cooldown time will continue until the 7 seconds (of the original piston) has passed.
  • If a piston remains powered after the cooldown has finished it will not extend until the signal goes off and then goes back on.

Important
It is important to note that this change will drastically edit the way redstone piston contraptions work, and that as this change (even though it seems small) will make many systems which require fast pulsing/changing pistons useless. It will however continue to work for certain: piston doors, simple farms, lighting systems, flip-flops, BUD switches and many other things.
It will probably take time to get used to the change however we are sure it is a much better compromise than pistons being completely disabled.



It is also important to note that as always bug exploitation is strictly against the rules. Any bugs found must be reported immediately or action will be taken.

To all players and family of players; from all the staff here at Noobstown Have a great Christmas and a fantastic New year!

Support / Re: PIGS! They don't work,
« on: 8 Dec 2012, 22:28:35 »
I got all excited and got a saddle and a carrot on a stick and a pig. I put the saddle on the pig and got on, with the carrot on a stick in hand... and the pig ate my carrot and wont move. And then Burai_Kitsune says 'Oh that will be cool when we can control the pigs, right?' So yeah. I guess that is my story. Stay tuned for chapter 2: the danger of pig bites.


I'm guessing Bukkit or the NoCheat plugin does not have full support for the pig riding feature, if it is a Bukkit bug they maybe working on a fix.

Or as I said above the Cheat plugin could think you are flying/speed hacking as pigs increase in speed overtime since the plugin is not supported for the new feature.

Hopefully will be fixed soon among other things!

Noobstown General / Re: Repair Bug Scammed Me :'(
« on: 7 Dec 2012, 01:48:00 »
So I was asking people if they needed free repairs not thinking about the repair bug anymore where when you repair a tool it can go to like -25972 Durability and break at first use.

So I repaired a bunch of items for people and then I noticed I did not gain a single level in repair and I started to wonder what would cause this and that is when I got this bug:
http://i49.tinypic.com/2ir90m.png (Look at exp before next level)

I used approx 40 diamonds to fix does tools to notice I did not get A.. SINGLE.. LEVEL

I calculated what I would have gotten out of fixing all the stuff and it was 5 repair levels, if I could have gotten these levels or my 40 diamonds I lost when this happened that would be great, if not I think you should check out this bug cause I just literally got scammed by the server itself.

Hey,

We are aware of the bugs regarding Mcmmo repair and will work to fix them over the coming days, for now try not to use the system to avoid further item/xp loss.

Server Announcements / Noobmas Events! Dec 1st - 25th
« on: 30 Nov 2012, 03:08:53 »

Winter's coming!

Yes, indeed and boy is December going to be a great month in Noobstown! We have tons of events, fun and games lined up for you all this holiday season. The events range from new event-bots to custom plugins and even website interaction... We've really pushed the sleigh out this year!

To kick off December we are releasing our Advent calendar! Some of you may remember the calendar from last year, we thought It'd be a great idea to bring back to the server.

From the 1st - 25th you'll be able to open a calendar window each and every day. The advent windows will give you a surprise gift, as the days go on the gifts will improve. If you are lucky enough to open the 25th window you'll be in for a big Christmasy treat. Let's not forget the events! We have planned many events; one of the events includes our custom plugin "Snowball". Snowball is a game in which each player must fight, collect and throw snowballs at their opponents. A successful hit will earn you one point and the player with the highest score at the end will be the overall winner. Each player has 25 lives, if you are hit 25 times you will be eliminated. Remember! the game is about the highest score, not the last player standing. Each game will be logged and put onto the Snowball High-scores (Coming soon). The over-all winner (max points earned) of all games played will receive an extra special prize!

Father Noobmas will be in town this December, he will pop onto the server from time to time and hand out gifts to the fellow residents of Noobstown. If you are lucky enough to find him he'll be happy enough to give you a gift, just ask! You will find Noobmas at spawn, in towns and anywhere a candy-cane gift-point has been setup. Keep your eyes peeled!

All the other events will be posted on the Noobmas timetable later this week ~ Stay tuned!

I would just like to personally address this is not a religious server, we are celebrating a holiday that we can all enjoy. Don't celebrate "Christmas"? No need to worry, just sit back and enjoy the fun that takes place on the server during Noobmas.

We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Holiday season this year and do hope you'll come along and join in with the fun!

Noobstown General / Re: Odd question
« on: 20 Nov 2012, 23:49:14 »
I find myself in a bit of a frustration generating problem, I dislocated my shoulder and cannot play games that require me to use both hands until my doctor lets me out of my sling. This means I cannot play Minecraft in any form unless I can find a way to play with just one hand, preferably a way that doesn't require me to buy new software or hardware. So I'm asking the community at large here, any ideas?

Try changing your keybinds to suit your right/left hand. I think you can re-kindbind almost every Minecraft function, I don't know! it's a suggestion. Get well soon!

Suggestions & Ideas / Re: Removing Auto Item Sorting!
« on: 14 Nov 2012, 19:58:19 »
The item sorting isn't really a feature we intended to put into place, it's actually part of a range of fixes in a custom build we use to avoid Minecraft lag. In this case the item grouping is there to reduce the amount of entity's scattered on the ground, the more items on the floor the more lag they are likely to cause in the area. Having the items grouped when dropped causes much less lag as all the items are floating in one spot. This explains why items may bob up and down when cutting wood and such it's trying to simply group them as the new entity is falling to avoid a huge mess on the floor. Once you have finished woodcutting all the entity's that were bobbing up and down should fall into your inventory in one big stack.

In the past before this was put into place some mischievous players would often buy 1000's upon 1000's of blocks and scatter them in one area to cause mass lag on the server, this obviously caused problems for everyone and was highly annoying to the rest of the people playing. Hopefully you understand why this is put into place and you'll probably see a lot of other servers using similar methods to avoid this type of lag, so there  isn't really an option to remove or keep the item stacking it's there for a specific reason and not as a feature.

Also!

Often you may see grouping off/on during stages of new Minecraft builds this is generally because our custom build isn't quite up to date with Bukkit.

*Poll locked, won't change the outcome on the server. I apologize if you dislike it.*

Noobstown General / Re: Longer Maintenance then Expected?
« on: 5 Nov 2012, 16:15:35 »
So the server has been down for like 4 hours+ now and it was said it was 1 - 2 hours, I hope you guys have not ran in to any bigger problems :(

I don't want the server to stay down for several hours more now, starting to get bored of waiting :/ I know it is worth it but I got no life.. :)

Sorry, we are waiting on someone who is currently on a complete different time zone to us. We should be back up soon, sorry for the delays.

Server Announcements / Mining World / End World / Nether
« on: 4 Nov 2012, 17:05:18 »
Complete!

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the delays on resetting the Mining world, we have been busy lately with managing and solving the bugs that came along with 1.4. We are now planning to reset the Nether, End and Mining world on Monday the 5th of November. This will be done during the upgrade maintenance to avoid further disruption to our service.

If you have any builds/chests in any of the worlds above you have around 15 hours to collect your items/blocks before everything in that world is reset.
