  1. TF2 and Counter-Strike (Source or GO)! Both games are tri-platform, I believe.

    I'd be willing to do TF2, CS:S, HL2:DM, HL:DM S [Half-Life Source: Deathmatch], maybe a gmod map, not sure how that would go, and Half-Life 1 Multiplayer

    All of which are tri-platofrom except Half-Life:Source

  2. There no sign action to add an enchantment at the moment. However, if it is acceptable to simply replace the player's inventory (which it may well be when handing out free equipment prior to a minigame) then an admin can create whatever enchanted items they want in their inventory and use the "/easy-signs inventory" command to give an exact copy of that, including the enchanted items.

    That's awesome, I guess that feature was in there all along :) Getting a full, preset inventory also eliminates the worry of having to organize everything in the right slots for convenience and PvP reasons

  3. My main and most obvious concern is people finding a way to break out of the KOTH and exploit the signs somehow, walking away with essentially free enchanted gear.

    Mojang did their best to patch pearl glitching exploits and prevent it, so I don't see that as a problem at all. Unless /spawnme is enabled or beds were to get enabled again, I don't see this as a problem, but then again someone is going to find a way some how

    As for pearl glitching it is almost impossible now to glitch through a 1 block wall, and glitching through floors or ceilings is impossible now since 1.5 :/ I have done all these enderpearl tests in Vanilla SinglePlayer and on P.Nerd.Nu as of 1.6.2 I also believe NCP now has more protection against block/ender pearl glitching, too

  4. I have added a 'potion' action to give a potion effect, 'leather' to give coloured leather armour and 'inventory' to give the player an exact copy of your current inventory (at the time of setting up the sign).  This should cover all of the use cases and uni0's concerns.

    totemo, just curious, but is there the ability to add enchants to items with EasySigns too?

  5. I know this may sound like a really strange question, as I am not very familiar with ZNC at all, so I could use any IRC client I like with it and it would work ok? Like I could switch between HexChat and AndroIRC without any problems? I'm also assuming no WebChat based IRC client would work with it except mibbit or ChatZilla, if you want to call that web based, more like Browser/Server based. I know that GameSurge's webchat IRC client probably wouldn't work at all, since you can't specify what server you would like it to connect to.

    Edit: This question is pointless, ANY IRC client would work apparently, GUI clients like IceChat and HexChat, console based clients like IRSSI and WeeChat and even web based clients like mibbit to browser based clients like ChatZilla, and then there are mobile phone clients like androIRC and andIRC, They all will work with no problem at all

  6. Any word on when CTF will be?

    I know that the head and tech admins are currently working hard to get CTF all set up and ready, due to how busy staff members are currently and all the stuff that is going on, I wouldn't expect it for a while

  7. Given the current timetable set out here (http://redd.it/1j2pae) the new P rev can be expected to launch after CTF happens.

     

    Beyond that, we really do not have much of a guess on when the next rev will launch, and I apologize on behalf of the Padmins for the apparent lack of info.  The next rev's map and spawn are currently being worked on, but beyond that, there really isn't much other news.  We will, of course, update with more concrete news as it becomes available, but until then, hang tight...

    Does anyone here happen to know if PAvE is going to happen or not? I keep hearing people talking about it on the subreddit, but haven't heard anything about it happening or not

  8. I think the reasons for not enabling the GameSpy query protocol previously were technical (complicated connection relay setup). In any case, it's enabled. We're somewhat hampered by a bug in the Curse Network's Minecraft Servers listing site which prevents us from being able to reclaim our listing of those servers. They have acknowledged it and say they will fix it when they fix it. Not much more we can do about that other than check up on it periodically.

    As far as promoting ourselves goes, I think putting more content up on YouTube is the way to go. A quick search there for reddit, mcpublic or nerd yields about an even split of desirable content and grief team videos featuring our servers. But if you take a look around any of our servers lately there's a uniformly high quality of builds on all three that we should show off. P, in particular, is amazing.

    I do agree that more YouTube videos could be put up, I sometimes record parts of S and C and put them up on YouTube, I can't seem to find any griefing videos of P, only exploration videos and info about the server, so I think that may be good there. I usually just record arena fights, then tag them with things like "mcpublic" "reddit" "minecraft" "servers" "nerdnu" "nerd.nu" "survival" "arena" "PvP" "minecraft" "servers" and more. I am hoping that some of these good videos showing off the interesting part of these servers and how fun it can be to play on them will get mixed in with those grief team videos, and people might just take a look at those videos over the other ones. YouTube seems to be a popular place for most minecraft players, and videos of our servers might just show some interest to them to come on and check these servers out. Here are some of my videos of the servers
  9. I care little for the non-vanilla crap, to get a U3 E4 ST/F3 pick 90 levels is a little much -.- I'd rather take my chances doing 3 level 30 enchants and maybe walking away with 3 picks E5 U3 and maybe getting a F3/ST on one or two........

    I usually hold off on complaining about things, but in my opinion, it is a little bit too much, I would have to spend way more time grinding than usual, and don't get me wrong, I do have a lot of patience when it comes to things like this, and after that, I would have to risk getting killed in the middle of it, loosing all my levels (which seems to happen to me a lot). When it comes to things like this, I would rather have vanilla enchantments. It would be as tedious as grinding for awhile and immediately enchanting. I have also heard that the levels for enchanting bows have increased, i'm not sure what is going on there, but i'm just going to disregard that and see for myself once Enchantism gets reenabled

    I am not trying to make it harder on staff members in any way in this post, I really like Enchantism and hope it stays. I am just stating my own opinion about the required enchanting levels for some items

  10. Thanks totemo, I was able to get back in now but I can only type in the creative channel for some reason.

    Mumble 1.2.4 has some problems like that, I would just keep trying, try selecting different channels or right click a channel and choose send message

    If it still dosen't work I can give you a link to mumble 1.2.3

  11. Here's another Survival related post

    "Add a command to get the rule book back" - I created this thread because I was killed at spawn upon first login, and didn't have a chance to read the rulebook at all, totemo was nice enough to create the /rulebook command. Tharine also explains why we held off on enabling PvPTimer until after the first week of the new revision, overall it may interest several survival players

  12. As far as i know

    If there is leftover money it will be saved for the servers, thats why we dont need to make a fundraiser every month

    also, yes the money could be spend on advertising but imho why ?

    Isnt it better to save the money to pay for the server rent instead of advertising i rather have a server with a smaller community where i am sure it will still be there in 6 or 12 months then a server with a big community that struggles with the rent.

    I agree with what Tharine said about the topic, and I personally think that most of the community here is from Reddit. I know we have people joining because they saw our server on minecraftserverlist.com, but most of the players, from what i've seen on my time playing on S since the new revision and towards the end of temp chaos is that more than half of the new players are all coming from popular minecraft server websites. I really think that totemo and JohnAdams1735 have been working on advertising the servers all over the place. totemo even enabled UDP query, something that I told was banned because it interfered with a major plugin they use. With all the dedication they have put forward to getting the servers well out there and on every possible minecraft server list out there, I think we have advertised enough. We don't need to have someone design a fancy banner and pay $300.00 just to have it shown at the top of a popular minecraft website. It just seems completely unecessary. Nerd.Nu, the MCPublic Reddit minecraft servers are very well known among most of r/Minecraft and among some very avid minecraft players.

    I really think we have addressed the advertising issue enough already, to the point where it probably won't be an issue in the near future at all.

  13. Edit: -

    There are far better things we could be spending our money on IMO (advertising, hardware) as I'm sure many agree judging from the harsh reaction the forums recieved when we first got them.

    Seeing as it is money donated from the players of the server, we should definitely be told and agree on what we're spending it on before we've done so.

    I don't really care what they do with the money, as long as it's going to the servers themselves, I don't want to donate $50.00 and a staff member uses that money to buy themselves a new graphics card or some newly released game. I want all the money i'm donating to these servers to be used on the servers, like to buy a new firewall or pay for some security software for the poor box [not like linux has any]. If they want to spend it on a new forum or get expensive DDOS Mitigation, i won't care, as long as it's helping them, i'll be happy

    However, if they have left over money that they don't need from donations, I won't care if they use it for personal use, or even donate it to people in need, it's a fundraiser event for the server owners after all, I should just be happy that I can even donate to them and help them pay for the server :smile:

  14. There's already a message in the [server] rotation, and i've been meaning to add a sign at spawn when I have the chance. I'll be updating some of the signs in spawn within the next couple of days for when we bring back on the first-join protection from PvPTimer, so it's on my to-do list.

    Thanks Tharine, That is nice to know, I should've checked /alert list before making that post, but it didn't cross my mind at the time

    Goodie! Now, for the first join PvP timer, will that apply to all players once it's added, or only players that are completely new?

    Apparently it is set to base it on the firstjoin event, and not whether you have already joined or not
  15. I have a feeling it is caused by No Cheat Plus, There have been some undiscussed changes to NCP on S only that most people haven't really been aware about at all, as seen here https://github.com/NerdNu/NerdBugs/issues/145 These changes seem to affect players inventories and inventory management/modification. totemo said that he will be changing the plugin's configuration back to an old backed up copy, so that might fix it. What Four_Down said might have something to do with it, too. As mentioned, I haven't had this issue on any other minecraft server, including C and P. So this must just be a Survival specific issue

  16. Chill the fuck out. The new S rev just started - everyone's chillbanging there for a bit. Then, after a month or so; PvE will be back to normal. You can be assured that all the PvE players on S will flock back to P when the new P rev starts.

    ^ Even some PAdmins come on to S to check out the new map and play for a bit. Don't worry, P isn't dead and isn't going to be dead anytime soon, P is usually the server with the most people on it anyway.
