  1. "Error lookup user" is a error that happens when our servers have problems contacting our banning system MCBouncer. The error message means that it fails to look you up on MCBouncer and that it can not determine if you should be banned or not so it denies you connecting. This error can happen for a number of reasons ranging from MCBouncer being down, connections trouble to MCBouncer, and other reasons. It appears that whatever was causing the error has been resolved as I was able to connect successfully just now.
  2. Never played it as my Wii U mostly sits collecting dust... However this game looks like it could be a ton of fun. I might have to give it a go.
  3. A problem that we have had in the past is waiting for plugins to be updated to the new version. Would it be awesome to launch a new PvE Rev the day after 1.8 is released? Sure! But we can't do that without LWC, WorldGaurd, Etc. We have to wait for plugins to be updated as well as update our own. I don't know what other large servers do as I only really play here.
  4. Hey there nnthm, thanks for appealing. Your banning moderator is currently inactive and is unable to handle this appeal. I ask that you read over the rules here before playing again to make sure you don't find yourself here again in the future. You have been unbanned. Welcome back and have fun! Ban Information: Ban for nnythm on c.nerd.nu for griefing, attempted cart spam nerd.nu/appeal by meno123 on 2014-07-18T22:31:26 (no more bans, 1 notes)
  5. I will be inactive for a couple days next weekend from October 23rd to October 25th. I will still be around IRC if needed.
  6. Some addition info from the subreddit post. Can we use traps, dispensers, or other interactive things? Yes! Please feel free to be creative with traps and tricks. Can we use beacons? You can use beacons for style or decorative uses, however not for the buff effects. What is King of the Void (KOTV)? KOTV is the same thing as KOTH except instead of having the Arena over the ground, it is over the void. Thus if you fall off the tower or a platform, instead of falling to the ground you fall to your death into the void. What kind of events are these arenas going to be used in? These Arena's will be used in a variety of different events ranging from Kit PvP to KOTH with jetpacks. It all depends on the type of event we are hosting and the gameplay ruleset for that event. How will KOTH be scored? It will depend on the type of event the arena is being used for. Some will be based on who reaches the top first while others might be who can stand on top the longest.
  7. Tech/Plugin Update CutePvP changes are currently underway and being worked on by Dumbo52. He has mostly completed the scoreboard feature and will soon be moving onto other aspects. As for jetpacks, we are currently working on deciding what jetpacks to use and what recipes the jetpacks should be. We hope to have jetpacks put together by the end of the week and then have FlightPack loaded onto E for testing. That's about it for technical related items, things are moving smoothly here. ----- The below is a update/response to Dumbo52's post from a few pages back. Scoreboard Looks good to me, the total players will be currently online players. Flag Points Looks good to me! Alerts and Brodcasts Broadcasts look good to me. Regarding alerts that should be fine, I doubt we will need to change alerts mid-game. Passive Buffs Could this be made so that we can set a time for how long the buff lasts? Such as /cutepvp buff add <team> <buff> <time> Buff Towers Allow admins to change which team owns a buff tower. Such as /cutepvp towerowner <bufftower#> <team> Team Points Looks good to me! Team Balance I'm not sure how we should go about team balancing, will need to review some of the responses people have made. I believe one of the most popular ideas was to give the team that is behind by X points a buff to help catch them up.
  8. Good afternoon everyone, we are happy to announce a new building contest to take place on C! In the coming months we plan to start hosting events more often on the Event Server and to do that we are in need of Arena’s. Who better to build some Arena's than the community? Information Starts: October 11th 2015 Ends: November 11th 2015 We are looking for 3 types of Arena’s: PvP: An Arena that can be used for a variety of PvP Events ranging from Tournaments to Kit PvP, and more King of the Hill (KOTH) or King of the Void (KOTV): An Arena that has a point that players must race to get to and will fight each other to get there (Please no absurdly hard parkour, however some parkour is fine) Other: Have an idea for a different type of Arena such as a Mob Arena or Spleef Arena? Then it goes here, let’s see what people can come up with! How it works: We will be using the same system as the lobby contest: PlotMe. WorldEdit commands will also be the same. You will be able to claim 3 plots per person in which to build your design. Each plot is 100x100 however you do not need to fill the entire space. Groups builds are highly encouraged. SafeBuckets is enabled. You will need to /modreq for flowing water/lava still, sorry =/ WorldEdit is enabled for use in your plot(s) only, however most commands are rate limited to help server stability. Any abuse will result in a ban. The winner will be chosen by a vote on the forum. The contest is taking place on C in the 'Contest-Arenas' world. To get there type "/mvtp Contest-Arenas" OR "/warp ArenaContest" Please put a sign with the arena type and your name(s) in one of the corners on your plot. Rules All Nerd.Nu Universal Rules Apply Each player may submit 1 Arena for each category (for a total of 3 entries) Unused/Abandoned Plots can and will be removed and reclaimed All Arena’s must be no larger than 100x100 and no smaller than 50x50 We will not be importing builds, your build must be done on C in the Contest-Arenas World (/mvtp Contest-Arenas) Arena Requirements: PvP Arenas 2 Team Gates (No more than 2 teams) No smaller than 50x50, no larger than 100x100 KOTH No team gates, however can have multiple gates/entrances No smaller than 50x50, no larger than 100x100 Other No smaller than 50x50, no larger than 100x100 No other real requirements, besides be creative! Winners/Prizes Winners will be decided by a public forum vote that the community votes on. There will be one voting question for each category. The person with the most votes get first place, the second most votes gets second place, etc. Prizes: PvP First Place: Your arena will be used in the first PvP Event on E PvP Second Place: Your arena will be used in the second PvP Event on E KOTH First Place: Your arena will be used in the first KOTH Event on E KOTH Second Place: Your arena will be used in the second KOTH Event on E Other First Place: Your arena will be used for the first non-pvp/non-koth event on E All Other Places for All Categories: Your Arena will be used at some point for some event on E Commands: "/plot claim" to claim the plot you are standing in "/plot home" to get back to your plot "/plot info" to get info about a plot "/plot list" to list your plots "/plot clear" to clear out your plot "/plot add <player>" to add someone to your plot "/plot remove <player>" to remove someone from your plot "/plot dispose" to give up your plot
  9. I remember you guys talking about it, I don't recall if it was ever implemented? I think it might of been, would have to ask a tech. Good point, would it be possible so that /rg list would only list the regions they are apart of? Or perhaps a command such as /rg list self ?
  10. Not sure if this falls under policy, but how about giving players access to some more commands? Such as /rg sel, /rg list, /tps, etc.
  11. Just a quick update/amend to the original post. We are not wanting to take away man power from building the fundraiser and are currently not seeking help for arena building. We are however still looking for any idea's that you may have for small events that we could use!
  12. Update: Thanks to redwall_hp we were able to figure out why FlightPack was throwing exceptions and it now works! We will most likely be using this one for the fundraiser.
  13. Plugin Information & Features EasyJetpack Features: - 4 different types of jetpacks: Standard Jetpack: An easy to make jetpack that provides basic flight Burst Jetpack: A better jetpack then the Standard jetpack that gives continuous thrust instead of constantly tapping shift Hover jetpack: A better juetpack then the Burst jetpack that allows you to hover for long periods of time Teleportation jetpack: Works just like an enderpearl without require the pearls. Look at something and hit shift and you will be teleported in that direction - Fuel/refueling Uses coal to fuel your jetpack and you must have coal in your inventory for it to take- No fall damage The plugin comes with built in Fall Boots that stop all fall boots however it appears that no matter what jetpack you use, even without the fall boots, you do not take damage.My thoughts: I like this plugin as it provides multiple types of jetpacks that are not to difficult to build and removed fall damage to increase the fun factor. I have no real concerns about this plugin FlightPack Features: - 4 default types of jetpacks: Coal jetpack: A jetpack that runs on coal Redstone jetpack: A jetpack that runs on redstone Glowstone jetpack: A jetpack that runs on glowstone Solar jetpack: A jetpack that you can put into a charging station and charge it via the sun for power - Refueling Instead of carrying around the fuel you need, you equip the jetpack you want to use, put the resource for it in your hand, and right click in the air and it will add that resource for your jetpack. This is useful for not taking up inventory space- No fall damage When using the jetpacks fall damage is disabled on purpose- Custom jetpacks This plugin provides huge functionality for making your own jetpacks. You can have custom crafting recipes for them, have them run on different fuel types, have them last for longer/shorter duration, My thoughts: I would 100% hands down pick this plugin for us to use however it does not work. I have tried everything from messing around with permissions, changing config options, and more to get this to work. However I can not get it to let you fly and it is constantly throwing exceptions in the console. Unless we can get tech help with this plugin I don't think it is feasible to use it. SuperJetpack Features: - 2 types of jetpacks: Standard jetpack: Basic jetpack Advanced jetpack: Slightly better - Jetpack upgrades You can craft a variety of items to upgrade your jetpack, such as being able to increase fuel capacity, increase speed, block fall damageMy thoughts: Not a bad plugin but the lack of jetpacks did not appeal to me and being able to upgrade your jetpack was a neat idea, but I'm afraid it might be to expensive or confusing. ----- I also tested these jetpack plugins: Fred's Jetpacks, PowerOfPickles Jetpack However the 3 up top were the ones that stood out the most to me and I think we should pick one of them. I will be talking with the techs and see how feasible it is to fix FligthPack.
  14. Hey everyone, lately we have been thinking about ways for us to host more events in MC as the majority of events we have done have been outside MC or is a fundraiser. We came up with the idea of hosting weekly or biweekly events on the Event server, something like “Event Saturday.” The idea behind this is to have more events more often while providing diversity in events and bringing the community together to have a good time. We are currently working on the first couple of events however we are in need of Arenas! We need your guys help in building multiple arenas for us to host these events in and to provide arena diversity. If you are interested in building an arena please reply here so that I may contact you with information about what kinds of arenas to build. We also may hold a arena contest in the near future on C that players build for us to use, however we would like some special staff made arenas as well (such as holiday ones). We would also like to hear any idea’s that you guys may have for these miniature events. We just ask that you keep them relatively small as they are meant to be a quick hour or two event that isn’t too hard to set up (such as PvP Game, UHC, Tiered Spleef, etc.). We look forward to any help or ideas you guys can offer!
  15. In regards to Zomise's request for larger brush sizes. Dumbo52 was awesome and bumped brush size up from 5 to 15 for mods. Happy worldediting!
  16. In regards to RAM, 16GB is already more then we usually have. When running the big fundraisers we only use 4GB of RAM, and in the recent past PvE has used 8GB of RAM. The majority of the time PvE RAM usage is rather quite low (below 4GB) and hardly ever touches 8GB let alone 16GB. Bumping it up even more would do nothing besides make the Java Garbage Collector more of a nuisance.
  17. I don't want to put any large strain on the techs. It was just merely an idea if it was a easy thing to do.
  18. It's been awhile since we've seen some backstabbing and betrayal's around these parts, I figure it's about time we fixed that! This week we will be playing TTT and when in doubt, twilexis is the terrorist. Saturday Night Gaming When: Saturday September 26th 6PM PST/9PM EST (Time Converter) Game: Garry's Mod: Mode: Trouble in Terrorist Town Length: 2 Hours Where: Mumble/Steam Recording: No, out of hard drive space :(
  19. Not sure if this is possible but it's an idea I figured I'd pass by you guys. Since you guys are not going to be moving any servers over and just backing it up there won't be a need to use our second box. E is currently hosted on the second box, perhaps we could host a small little event like a snowball fight on E for the 4 hours or so the servers are down? That way we can keep people entertained while waiting.
  20. Thank you to everyone that came! We had a full house and a ton of fun! Unfortunately due to lack of hard drive space on both of my drives I was unable to record tonight. However I did snap a lot of pictures. Here is a album of pictures throughout the event. Hope to see everyone again next week!
  21. Good afternoon everyone, in the last admin meeting and after some talk in IRC we feel that sometimes we take the job of a staff member to seriously and we need to sometimes just let loose and have some fun. There was a general consensus that a staff event was needed where we could all go and commit murder have fun together. Right now our plates are pretty full with the fundraisers and other smaller events however we still think it's important we get together and do a staff event. We'd like to hear what some of your guys ideas are or what you would like to see for a staff event. Nothing super big though, just something simple and would be pretty easy to set up, such as an Archery Arena, KOTH, etc. We'd like to make staff events happen every now and not have it be a one-time thing. All the ideas that are presented in this topic will most likely be used at some point, whether that is at the next staff event or another one after it.
  22. Something has come up and I will be unable to host the event tonight. However this is also good because the PAdmin Hunt will be taking place. Please go and murder some admins! I am moving this event to tomorrow at the same time. Saturday Night Gaming!
  23. Yes, there is usually some sort of parkour, spawners, or something else that makes it challenger. It is up to the builder of the buff tower to decide what they want the challenge to be. I look forward to your idea!
