Server closed.

Please check out the official server instead.

Where's that tutorial you linked me to when I tried to get mine set up? Wouldn't the person need that? Also, if you guys try to make a server, at least contact us first(preferably rando since he knows what the **** he's doing) so that you won't possibly screw up and get an unusuable server on your IP and be unable to help any longer.

Also, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY MINECRAFT TO MAKE A SERVER.

...but you should anyways cause it's an awesome game. :3

Heh, well actually I wouldn't know what to do if people PMed me.
I've tried to make a server however, but my firewall prevents me from doing so and <_<

Ah I see, well hopefully someone can do that, it's a good plan, hopefully Cat can let us use this server, you know.

I'm hosting one for a few of my friends at the moment. We've been building it for over two weeks, though, so I can't just stop that and host one for VR. If our project dies down after a while and you still haven't found anyone, I'll happily host.

I think I might give it a try this weekend, as I actually should have time to do it then.

The MC server should be lightweight enough to run right in VR's server, or one of the site's underlings that don't get any traffic.

I can do it temporally for you guys, I have a horrible upload speed. (until you get a more permanent solution.) But I'll give it a try, I say temp because I plan on moving in two months, that and you may not like my upload speed. XD Give me a little bit (couple hours) to get it set up.

Will a computer be able to run a server in sleep mode? I have a computer that's always on and normally sleeps that I could run it on.

I've got one set up, not sure if its 100% set up right but I sent a PM to Rando with connection information.

YES!!!! FINALLY!!!!

I'll see about running the server from my mom's computer. I have a pretty good internet connection.


EDIT: I've got the software up and running (Linux server stuffz FTW). Can I set the IP like on Buoysel's through the IP field in server.properties?

Also I hope I don't have to worry about port forwarding too much, or else I'd have to make my mom's computer a DMZ which is veeeery risky.


EDIT2: I think I've set my Router to accept ALL ports. Not sure if this'll work. We'll try it out later.

The current server is rather laggy, but it works, so if anyone thinks they have a faster connection, feel free to try hosting.

I think I found the source of lag:

This week-end some one remind me and I can setup a small linux virtural server to run this. Cat dont worry about running out of ips problem I can just use a nat forward on the ports to main server ip. I was thinking about do this for email as well so it dosen't all go down at once . I will confirm with you before I do this as well.

Also the above post adsl not being on is a good thing. Unless that what your connection is. Also ADSL WILL NOT WORK FOR A SEERVER OF ANY KIND. the a that for asynchronous. Meaning not in sync which mean lots of lag.

Also seeing ATM there is kinda strange as that is a internet technology for frame relay not a home router/modem.


Also you guys should look at this game too http://sauerbraten.org/ you can build and edit the maps in multiplier with loads of ppl.

Yeah ATT sucks around here. A tech was supposed to come out to my house and test the line but never got that call.

Its better than nothing until KYA gets a server running on VR's server. KYA let me know when you set it up: I'll send you a copy of the current files so nobody will have to rebuild from the ground up.

And the problem with my server is...?

JC is being a piexing in this thread.

I tried setting up the server on my windows computer. Mosters spawned, sun and environment seemed OK, but it was all blue and there were little to no blocks. Just an endless fall-into-the-void-and-die-then-respawn cycle.

I'll stick with the Linux server then. It's working perfectly as far as I've explorer.

Also, Buoysel's server won't load up, I guess this will be the thread to say this, but I guess that's the problem now.

I have no clue what happened, and I was busy fixing up my mess.

Just as a general note, it's not a good idea to post your IP publicly - it's better to do it privately. While it probably won't be much of a problem here, on the Minecraft forums people who have posted their IPs have often been attacked by 'griefers', who just go to your level and ruin it.

It's mine that I'm talking about. I have a computer running 7 and one running ubuntu. PM sent.

The problem with running on home isp connection even my 30mbs down 10mbs up. Is that most of the world will not see that speed. Test to different data center to see what I mean. The hoem connection is simple not close enof to the internet backbone.

Why should I not post my ip publicly I have no problem with that. What can really get to you?

70.173.91.38 heres mine good luck getting to anything.

The only thing that can really happen is possible a Denial of Service. Also anyone with minimal knowledge can get you ip when they connect to your server.

http://www.wireshark.org/
http://nmap.org/zenmap/

He's right about the speed though. I should test other parts of ther world in case that will make it drop to a dangerous level.


EDIT:

Newburry, UK











Las Vegas, Catland







some random place in africa



dear lord





TOE KEE OH



double dear lordy







kangaroo land



comcast doesn't like africans, japanese, or aussies





Brazil

I would test to major datasenters like Dallas, Seattle etc... On speedtest.net.

Well, I guess with a TNT mishap, I'm no longer trusted; well, if that's the case... I'm hated now... EGAD, I HAD A SLOW COMPUTER. (It took forever to restart, I mean, I had dinner and all that, when I came back it was finally loading up.)

Ok guys send me what ever I need to setup minecraft. I have never played or setup a minecraft server so bare with me. Add me on MSN, AIM, YAHOO tkneal2@yahoo.com so we can get this done.

I'm responsible, make me an OP! Take a wild guess at my username! Etc.

But yeah, get a mod to disable TNT, and possibly lava/fire. I don't see the point in disabing mob spawners unless the people with them are morons, since it's fun making pig traps.

Speaking of mods for disabling stuff, I need a mod to disable fire from my server, since we've build a HUGE tree out of wood, planks and leaves, so it's very vunerable to fire.

KYA I'll compress the files and send you an email in a few minutes, the original download link won't run correctly, I think the file is corrupt, I ended up downloading a new file and installed it then I just copied setting files into the file directory. I've got the windows version.

Ok server should be up i changed name of the server to VICTORYROAD.NET[OFFICAL]

I hope I did anyways.

ITs running according to the logs but i have no idea if it working as i don't own the game. if its not working I may need to barrow someones account( for testing)

EDIT: I checked if port is up but thats really all i can test.

also ip is 68.233.235.33

I'll tear down my server

You guys can chage the tile of this to offical rather than unoffical. Also how did it go I noticed a lot of you on there.

Is the server up now? I cant seem to connect. I keep getting

Connection Refused: connect

try to connect by ip 68.233.235.33

They were on it most of the day so it should work fine.

Also guys i was watching chat KEEP IT CLEAN same rule as the sites chat room applies.

Hmm.. I still cant seem to connect. Is the server up at this very moment and/or is it region exclusive?

(Tried using both victoryroad.net and 68.233.235.33)

You were right it was down for some reason.

Oh, well its up now and I managed to connect. Unfortunately no one else is here

Rule 4's already been broken.

So can I be an OP please?

Get on when some other people are on and we'll consider OPing you.

I'm going to take my server down latter tonight, glad I could help out for a little while.

KYA you really need to keep a watch on the server, it's gone down a couple times and it's down now and Nin has said it's been down for a while.

Also, that's okay Buoy, thanks for helping being the first to help us, we really appreciate it. :3

By request, here is the data from my server to screw around with. Just unzip and put the folder in your minecraft worlds folder with the name of World1 to World5. You'll probably have to back up a world for this.


Also OHMAN posting from ubuntu

I'm still not getting a connection (due to refusal), so I don't know what the hell

I will go look this server relly dosent want to stay running gona be lazy and setup a webmin cron job to restart server

Maybe you should just redownload the Linux server software. All that's needed for setup is to extract and run.



And why does this have a Smelly Stuffz tag... RK >:I

90% the time that never helps linux; but i did that yesteday the first time it died.

Ok a made a qucik script to see if its is running if it is not running it starts it so server should only be down for max of 2min.

Also guys decide among your selves who you want to be admin and i will give them ssh access to change and restart server. Minimal linux command line required.
_________________
IF I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF I WILL TAKE THE SERVERDOWN.

I'm not getting any response from the server today. Restarted server multiple times, checked if anything in server.properties was wrong, all checks out okay there. It could be just me, so someone please try and connect when reading this.

EDIT: Here's something odd. I tried to stop the server and start it up manually, but when I tried to start it, it wouldn't run because it was still active. Maybe the program froze?

Strange.. I'm having logging in problems again. I get stuck at "Logging in" and then I get timed out.

I was in the server for a while, walking around and I suddenly timed out, after that, I could never log in.

I think its a problem with Minecraft itself, not the server. I can't even go to minecraft.net, since it simply won't respond.

I wouldn't doubt that's the problem. I could try setting the server to offline mode for now. We won't have our skins but it shouldn't be a problem.


EDIT: Nope.avi

EDIT2: Wait forgot to restart the server ^.^;;

EDIT3: Still no.


After today I will never yell at any of the webmasters anywhere for problems with their server. Unless they did something really extremely stupid in which case I'll fire away


Edit4: We should totally use port 666 since barely anyone plays Doom anymore.

Great, now MC won't let me log in to the base app because I failed at connecting to VR so many times -.-

Did you guys get it working. Because what i can tell the server is fine because it is accepting the retriveing trafic. Also port number is somewhat irrelevant. Google the OSI or the DOD network model to see why.

Also the thing about the server alredy running on reset is because the server detected that mine craft was not running and immediately tried to corect inself. So "/etc/init.d/minecraft stop" may as well be used rather than reset.

I tried connecting to the server in offline mode which completely removes Minecraft.net out of the system as far as I understand and still couldn't connect.

looking at the log it it says :


2011-02-05 21:02:02 [INFO] Preparing start region

EDIT:
Figured it out when i setup admin premisions on server world/ was set wrong

Uh...I think we should just wait until tomorrow and see if minecraft.net is any better...and let's hope that when you saved the map you didn't delete our old server. Oh god let's sure hope...and if not hopefully Jared has a stored copy somewhere or at least Buoy has an older copy up somewhere... :\

I was actually planning on backing up the world but then I got there this morning and everything was destroyed. What the hell happened?



EDIT: New world time now. Old world is still there.

I don't have permission to create new files on the server. So, backing up is impossible for me.

You do have permision i was logged in as you yesterday to verify accely.

Get http://winscp.net/eng/index.php to transfer files

KYA could you drop the server on the root again and see if it restores the old map? That's the only way that we could get it to work yesterday and while you said it was dangerous, hopefully making sure the map still exists means we could find some way to get it back.

I can but i tell you it will still be broken

Edit up now.

Wow, just one more reason I love Windows Server.

I've still got a copy of the files if you need them send me a PM.

Awesome, I can connect again? Does the server have any commands that mortals like me can use?

Who keeps trying to log in from the server? You don't seem to be having much luck, I see.


EDIT: Also, read this if you have access to server.properties http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Se...ies#admin-slot

I'm sad I have to say this, but Beta =/= Classic. Please do not use classic keys in a beta server.

Just a question, why does the server shut itself down at times?

I've restarted it a few times. I can't check if there's anyone online from here so I just hope nobody panics

I'm I the only one getting a "no route to host" error?

The entirety of core.buizel.net seems down. Not sure why everything else is up though.


Also this is a helpful tool for when the server (Or general site) seems down http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

In another thred but any ways it was off for the day. Its back as of now.

Also I just did some reading I had no idea there were other minecraft servers. All have the same complaint about the official one using a lot of resorses. http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Custom_server_list

Bravo looks the best but does it accept you guy's exerting map files?

Rando, I got one too, yesterday.
So, no you aren't the only one.

It also appears I've been banned from the server as well.

I found an error of sorts. I got into the server, but I couldn't type anything or use commands. Also, the entire terrain of the world was different. Buildings from the server still existed, but they were in a new world in strange places. And to make matters worse, I can't get in at all now.

I can't get it now either. If anyone can get in, please get a screenshot of it where you spawned.


EDIT: Running backup server. 68.80.238.124

Its the way java uses memory it requires 1gb of memory to start (counting swap).

So it workes but it very aggressively uses swap(hard disk) Also don't forget this is shared with everything else server is doing.

Yes it starts around 40mb or ram but when theres 4 or so people on it grows to 400mb till it gets too 1gb then crashes

So basically we can only have 9 users on at once without it crashing?
Jared, would you mind editing server.properties to only allow 9 players at once?
