Server Announcements / Bukkit update
« on: 26 May 2011, 22:42:10 »
As I'm sure we're all aware, Mojang released Minecraft 1.6 today (Thursday, May 26, 2011) around 5AM EST and we've been hard at work getting a build out that is compatible with Minecraft 1.6 out. Since the release, Minecraft has seen quite a few small bugfix updates addressing some unnoticed bugs and we've pretty easily kept up with them. Unfortunately, there appear to be some issues with the update that is making the game unplayable for SMP players, so we've decided to wait for a bugfix update.

Will there be a CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.6?
Given the reports of showstopping bugs present in 1.6, there's a high chance a new bugfix update for Minecraft will be out tomorrow or even several times this week. As a result, it is unlikely we will be releasing a Recommended Build for 1.6 until we have something stable to work with.

As a result, we recommend everyone stay on 1.5 for a while until the showstopping issues are fixed and we can get a new, stable, compatible build out.

You can already get CraftBukkit for Minecraft 1.6.4, but it is unsupported and not recommended.

I'll be scouring the internet for further reports on how Minecraft 1.6 is performing, but preliminary research and our own testing has revealed it as unplayable due to chunks sporadically loading or not loading.

Hey all, earlier today 1.6 was released. Bukkit  have already released a 1.6 build, although... Lots of peoples tweets about bukkit 1.6 say its terrible. Bukkit has replied that they will get a fix on the lag issue asap. Once bukkit has a stable build I will move in, Plugin's are also updating pretty quick (which is a good thing).

Windows:

Go to run

Copy this
Code: [Select]
%appdata%
Open the .minecraft folder

Go into the bin folder

delete the minecraft.jar

go to downloads find minecraft.jar

replace the 1.5 minecraft.jar in the bin folder

run minecraft

Connect to Noobstown IP: Noobstown.com

Server Announcements / New Users system - UPDATE
« on: 24 May 2011, 05:14:09 »
Thanks to Ringburn we are creating a Tutorial room, this will simply be set as the spawn room, you will go through a series of fenced of areas learning all the commands. Experienced users will be able to exit straight away to the Portal Hub. I hope this make a less CAPS-LOCK and more peaceful chat. Also gives me a good chance to Express the rules, some users don't quite understand what NO GRIEFING/STEALING  means. :)


Hope you enjoy the small update.

Server Announcements / 1.6
« on: 23 May 2011, 22:42:07 »

Notch will be releasing 1.6 this week, according to his Twitter. This means we may have to wait for plug-ins to update and so forth. Updates can be a pain since you are not able to play 1.6 in Noobstown until all of our server has updated. I suggest to continue playing click NO to the update, If you have already updated I have a small guide below that will help you get back online.

I suggest you go to run - %appdata% - .minecraft - bin and copy your 1.5 minecraft before the update as a backup.


1.6 Bug fixes (Only a selected few)

* Fixed rain sounds not playing with fast graphics enabled
* Fixed sand dropping onto boats getting stuck in a falling animation
* Fixed submerged boats rising very very fast - No more Boat lifts
* Fixed buttons and levers too close to the player being impossible to use
* Fixed fences and stairs sometimes becoming invisible  - Finally.
* Fixed fences and wooden stairs not being flammable
* Fixed rain falling through liquids - Was very silly
* Fixed rain and snow being incorrectly lit
* Fixed fullscreen mode switching causing mouse issues and screen closes
* Fixed rain falling too slowly - Almost like snow ;o)
* Fixed minecarts next to each other causing extreme velocities (sorry!)
* Fixed wolves not following their owner if the name has different caps
* Fixed inventory acting weird when portaling by making the portal close all screens
* Fixed dispenser graphics being one pixel off. ONE PIXEL!!! - I laughed
* Fixed the multiplayer join screen input field being too short
* Fixed IPv6 addresses being p****d wrongly. To connect to a specific port in IPv6, use the format [1234:567::1]:25565
* Fixed network packets being sent unbuffered, causing huge amounts of packets being sent
* Fixed entity positions going out of synch sometimes. They get re-synched every 20 seconds now.
* Fixed inventory icons not animating after being picked up in multiplayer
* Fixed mushroom soup not leaving a bowl in multiplayer
* Fixed healing not flashing the health bar in multiplayer
* Fixed arrows being animated really strangely in multiplayer - -.-
* Fixed arrows triggering too many entity move updates in multiplayer
* Fixed the compass not pointing at the spawn location in multiplayer
* Fixed fires being impossible to put out in multiplayer - Fireman Sam was not pleased
* Fixed players spawning in the wrong location and quickly lerping to the correct location
* Fixed records not playing for other players in multiplayer
* Fixed monsters not being visible for players with their difficulty set to peaceful
* Fixed loads of exploding tnt generating way too many particles, possibly crashing the client - It's about time.

And finally what he has added

1.6:

+ Added Nether support to multiplayer
+ Added craftable maps
+ Added hatches
+ Added tall grass in some biomes
+ Mushrooms now spreads (very) slowly
+ Added server property view-distance. Sets the radius of terrain updates (in chunks) to send to the players. Range 3-15, default 10.

Guides / How to use the shop:
« on: 18 May 2011, 22:19:56 »
Better shop
[Shop plugin]

You can check an item price in the shop by typing /shopcheck dirt for example
you can change dirt with anything such as stone,sand,iron ore.. etc

To buy from the shop type:

/shopbuy (ITEM) (AMOUNT)


example: /shopbuy stone 64


To sell to the shop type:

/shopsell (ITEM) (AMOUNT)

example: /shopsell dirt 15


If you prefer to use item id's instead of typing:

/shopbuy dirt 1

and you would rather type:

/shopbuy 3 1

Here is the website with all the item id's  http://www.minecraftinfo.com/IDList.htm


To get a list of items that are in the shop type:

/shop list

There are 20 pages in the shop and the first page only shows 9 items.

To go through the list type

/shop list 2

/shop list 3

/shop list 4

keep going like that until you reach the last page which is 20



I hope this helps some of the players that are struggling with the shop plugin.

Server Announcements / Plugin updates and new plugins!
« on: 17 May 2011, 02:59:02 »
Plugins & Updates

Some time this week I'll be updating some plugin's and adding some new ones.

Here is a list of possible new plugin's:

Stargate - Transportation system for getting to towns

mcmmo - Minecraft roleplay levels (example: break wood and you will gain +1 woodcutting)

Chaircraft - Minecraft seats you can actually sit on.

Autoreplys - For when new players ask obvious questions like: Why can't I build at spawn?

antiflood - To prevent multiple messages by the same person. Here is an example:

lol
trolol
trololol
iamatroll
lol

Nether plugin - I'm not sure if this is a good idea at the moment. (Can collide with Stargate plugin)

NoThanks! - Stops swearers abusing the chat system.


Comment below if you like or dislike the new upcoming possible plugin's. Plugin ideas are welcome too so please suggest some!


Just to let you all know the server may go down for 10minutes while I sort out these new plugin's.



On another note:

We are aware of the lag issues that have lately been effecting many of the players in Noobstown, we are trying our best to find the problem and fix it. We believe a plugin is causing a memory leak (Towny). I have contacted the developer of the plugin and I am waiting for a reply. I would also like to point out that Minecraft is still in Beta, multi-player is really unstable. So please don't spam me with server issues some of them are minecraft based not the server.
