@kitcatbar : when do you think you could have the map ready?
I'm going to get the event server setup with some extra dimensions so we can start building the bases and stuff. I would really like to try to get them done this week.
I've found one bug so far, it seems you can destroy your own flag and it will drop the wool block and respawn the flag essentially giving infinite wool.
-
Ah! So now we need to think about specifics for this event. What tweaks do we want to make to the gameplay? The following are some things we can change
- Number/position of flags per team
- Different block effects (step on a block and a potion effect is applied to you)
- I think totemo originally wanted to use MobDisguise with the event, which would be very cool.
- The overall 'theme'?
-
Hrm I don't remember us turning flow off. I know blue team surrounded their entire base with water and i thought that was closer to the end of the event. Oh well.
I've got the server setup running 1.7.9 at hostkey.nerd.nu:35565 and the ctf plugin seems to be working beautifully.
-
I liked how last we could switch last time. Though i'm not sure what modreqs we really had besides team grief ones? Flow was on by default i think. I am going to go ahead and get the server prepped with the plugins tonight to see what needs to be done plugin wise.
-
Yay look at all the activity! lol
So I did get a response from buch as follows
Yes, I can try to get everything done, but the process will be sped up much faster if the planning server is set up somewhere, preferably event.nerd.nu. (Although I need TheAcademcian for this, as she has my map).
However, 98% of the map so far is built by me and I don't regard myself as a brilliant builder. It would greatly help if we get some people to help (so I may make a thread for that in private mod chat).
As for the map, I have the buffs almost set up, most of the asteroids/mines set up, and spawn set up. I just need feedback on what to add, plugins, and help with pasting in an asteroid belt.
I think this can be done in two weeks, but I'm more worried about the plugins because I have almost no knowledge of java. This makes me rely on others, and smiler showed interest.I'm not really confident in using that event if entire new plugins need to be written in time. Personally, I would recommend we go with the CTF and add some tweaks if we want too. I think this could be a really strong event to play up to bring in new people as well as get the existing player base fired up. With that in mind, we need something solid that we know will work. We would have 3 weeks from Fri/Sat (depending on when we run it) so for me to be comfortable with announcing, that's just over a week to get it "setup and working" so we can announce it 2 weeks in advance.

Looks good to me Mrloud

I reached out to buch to see how far he is with his event and will update when I find out. I would love if we could do it for our 5 year anniversary as that is kinda huge! The 10th is a Tuesday so we could either do it the previous or following weekend. If we choose the previous weekend that gives us exactly 1 month. I think we should announce maybe 2 weeks in advance but i don't want to make the announcement until everything is setup and known to be working. Which ideally gives us 2 weeks to set everything up. If bach is close to having this working we may be able to use his event.
If we use the same setup as last time, i know we can get that up in time without any worry. In fact, I am going to go ahead and start prepping it and even if we do go with buchs idea, it can be a backup.

Restarted. If it happens again just ping a tech. The script seems to die every now and then without an warning or notice.

I'll start off:
1) What are the goals for this drive?
Just to get enough money to cover us for our current setup for the next 6-12 months? Do we want to look into getting a second box for more servers? If so, we could use it for events, testing out new types of servers etc.
2) What kind of game for the event?
People still love CTF, so no real need to change that, however something new could be fun.
3) When should the event take place?
I'd say no earlier than 2 months from now. ESPECIALLY if it requires any kind of custom plugin. We HAVE to have it all (map/plugin etc) setup like 3 weeks in advance. I don't want to be responsible for another failed event because we ran out of time. I'd say we don't even announce the event until it's completely setup and ready to go.
-
It's about time again for a new donation drive. Here are a few things we need to discuss.
1) What are the goals for this drive?
2) What kind of game for the event?
3) When should the event take place?

To me, it's almost all about attitude. S seems or has in the past seemed to encourage a more asshole atmosphere. Sure fighting is antagonistic by nature, but the levels there I feel greatly dissuade new players from sticking around and anyone voicing an opinion that it could be toned down a bit has historically been downvoted/shunned as not a real s player etc. Just my 2 cents

Yea, i've had to remove the "pretty url" feature as it was the cause of the 404s and we were unable to determine the reason for now
-
Most peoples issues right now are their local cache, so if you have any more problems clear it or try a fresh browser to see if its still not working. Also, I don't think I've ever seen any favicon and I don't see one on the server anywhere hrm ill try to look a bit more
-
https://nerd.nu/forum/ (all stuff here) should redirect to the correct new url however I believe our caching service seems to be screwing it all up. The changes I made today made the following adjustments
https://nerd.nu/forum/index.php?/forum/8-problems-issues/ now is https://nerd.nu/forums/forum/8-problems-issues/
https://nerd.nu/forum/index.php?/topic/1871-site-maintenance/ now is https://nerd.nu/forums/topic/1871-site-maintenance/
Primarily they are simply prettier URLs but also will be needed for future changes.
* bah, striped out my urls
-
I will be doing some maintenance on the site for the next week or so. If a problem persists for more than say 20 minutes, please let me know about it here. If it's only a intermittent issue, bear with me for a little bit.
-
I was doing some work on the web server that caused this, it should all be resolved now (though im gonna be making some more changes/upgrades in the coming week as well so there might be some more 'down' time)

Yea we had a 1.5 hour sustained DDoS attack. Unfortunately there is very little we can do about these =\ I have no idea who seems to have it out for us. Basically any time everyone is getting disconnected a bunch or we are offline, it is almost surely a DDoS. The only thing I can say to do is just to try to ignore it and have fun when we can play. It usually doesn't last too too long and they probably get off on people complaining.
-
I believe this is because of our never ending DDoS saga. Last night we got reports of a bunch of people getting disconnected and specifically looked this morning and it was in fact a DDoS. The fact that people are staying connected at all just shows that our protection is working. Next time this happens, note down the exact time and if you can, who else was effected. Thanks!
-
Thanks guys :D I'm finishing up the voting page now and hope it should be done late tomorrow night or sometime Monday, There were lots of very great entries! Oh I'm sure we will do it again, definitely want to allow different types of entries next time (though that will be a while away)

I think we are wanting to do it for the weekend of the 7th? For the 5th anniversary?
