Wiki for the server http://www.ncsuroot.com

Visit the Wiki for status updates, command lists, community projects and more.

If you were on the previous server, you should be able to login as though nothing happened. If you want to get added, PM me with your minecraft username. I can't guarantee that I'll see your add request if you just put it in this thread.

PirateArrrny and Netsorm are both mods. They should both be able to whitelist players as well, and handle in-game needs.

Features:

Transportation:
Spawn: /spawn
Home: /home + /sethome
Warps: /warp (this is how you get to your vault)
Compass: /compass
Teleport: see help
Minecarts: Work as before, no longer kill you on impact, they will despawn after 2 minutes of being empty (should return to creator). Speed reduced to 100% to keep everything working properly.

Commerce:
iCommerce: see help
Tools auto-repair themselves (only tools).

Communication:
Private messaging: /msg
AFK: /afk
Whois: /whois
Online players: /list

Gloom and Doom
Mobs are turned on.
Creepers do not destroy blocks at the surface.
Creepers DO DAMAGE everywhere.
TNT is turned on.
Fire will not spread.
Flying will get you kicked.
Griefing will get you banned.
Server is managed, saved every 10 minutes, backed up every hour (no restarts).

To-Do
Get the google-maps working again. Probably won't happen anytime soon though.

isn't there already a minecraft thread?

5/25/2011 1:37:33 AM

There is. I think a thread dedicated to the server is useful.

5/25/2011 1:39:42 AM

I'll definitely check it out.

Any idea what the ping would be like coming from across the Atlantic?

5/25/2011 2:48:44 AM

yay

5/25/2011 8:41:52 AM

i still have not bought this.
lol

5/25/2011 8:48:49 AM

Awesomeeeee. Looking forward to playing tonight

5/25/2011 9:04:50 AM

sooo, while trying to make it home i sorta fell off the world and now can't log back in

5/25/2011 9:22:20 AM

DEAR GOD YES

btw, having the info on the first post is infinitely better than trying to read the last 10 pages hunting for connection details

only bummer is google maps. that was my absolute favorite part

[Edited on May 25, 2011 at 9:40 AM. Reason : asdfasd]

5/25/2011 9:40:02 AM

I get "logging in..." then after a few seconds, "Connection Lost... <java timeout exception>"

Is the server down, or am I no longer on the white list? IGN: jmbrantl

Glad to see a TWW server up again!

5/25/2011 10:28:38 AM

it's not just you, it's down

You are part of the problem.

5/25/2011 10:59:18 AM

Yeah guys the server ran out of memory (well, actually the MineCart mania plugin did).

I'm going to stay logged in today and track the memory usage. If you guys can log back in so I can see the spikes, I'd appreciate it. I may need to add more memory to handle all the plugins we're running.

5/25/2011 12:55:39 PM

Did you have to revert to a backup again. I did a few things last night that are gone now. It was nothing important/big but just curious in case you didn't mean for it to happen. If so its all good

5/25/2011 1:17:00 PM

What kind of hardware is this running on? Dedicated? Shared?

5/25/2011 1:17:51 PM

http://www.brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=601881&page=37

and Frosh, this game is a pretty specific topic. it's not like anyone suggested this to be posted in a "perpetual video game thread" or anything.

[Edited on May 25, 2011 at 1:29 PM. Reason : ]

5/25/2011 1:27:38 PM

^^^ yeah I had to revert from about midnight last night. Still not sure what caused the spike, but I think it's the minecart plugin. Going to try disabling it and see how it affects the memory usage.

^^
Dual Intel Westmere X5675 Hex-Core 3.06ghz CPUs, 24GB of DDR3 RAM, a 1000mbit port, and dual Micron RealSSD 50GB SSD drives in RAID-1 via a BBU-enabled Adaptec RAID card.

It's shared, currently I have 1024mb allocated, might need to bump that

also you might notice, we have an OFFICIAL url now

mc.thewolfweb.com:25566

alright I bumped the memory up to 1536mb. Going to try and leave the minecarts on. If everything stays alive today, then ill leave it be. otherwise i'll disable it and we can try again


Okay, everything looks good now.

One thing that has changed with the minecart plugin is the signs for minecart directions.
The old way was to put the direction on the 3rd line of the sign like: "south".
The new way is to put "Launch South" on the first line of the sign.
Anyone wanting to do anything crazy with minecarts can check out the plugin page here: http://wiki.afforess.com/Minecart_Mania-Plugin and check out the sign commands and player commands.

Everyone should prepare for Netstorm's Stupidly Large Array of Hidden TNT Traps.

Should discourage grieving and looting, ahahaha.

I just spent the last couple months on a PVP, Grief, Loot, Betray server so I have become well-versed in making things deadly.

5/25/2011 5:35:42 PM

i saw a chicken survive 2 tnt detonations so it might not be as deadly as you think

5/25/2011 6:13:31 PM

The central store has been built and is open for business.

Nether items (along with almost everything else) can be purchased.
The store just just next to the /spawn.

You can also sell your items anywhere, anytime using the /sell command.

5/25/2011 10:27:00 PM

oh hay http://notch.tumblr.com/post/5861083562/minecraft-beta-1-6

5/26/2011 8:05:27 AM

Plz2update.


Need my minecraft fix.

5/26/2011 11:54:31 AM

server will be updated as soon as I'm allowed to do so. Considering there've been 4 point releases this morning, two of which for the server, it may be a day before that happens.

5/26/2011 12:49:14 PM

Yeah its definitely going to be at least tomorrow. Every point release seems to introduce even more serious server bugs than what is being fixed.

If you want to keep playing in the mean time, don't upgrade your client.

5/26/2011 1:21:48 PM

no rush, 1.5_01 is just fine. Server's running well, seems like saves are a bit erratic. Did you ever find a way to auto-reboot every few hours? I've noticed some block lag (rarely) I think reboots would help with this.

5/26/2011 6:27:43 PM

^it's actually running 1.5_02 I believe

It saves every 10 minutes, and does a rolling backup every hour. Server does a backup + reboot every 24hrs. Actually the first one was today at noon, and it looks like everything worked just fine.

The only resource lag I'm seeing from the logs is during the 3-5 seconds during Save/Backup operations. Doesn't appear to be any other spikes going on. Let me know if it gets any worse or becomes a common thing.

5/26/2011 7:23:39 PM

Another addition. Got a shitty google map working. Go here in your browser. It updates in realtime, player positions, day/night + game time, and three maps (overhead, isometric, caves).

server went down at almost exactly 1pm Eastern... not sure if that was planned or not...

5/28/2011 5:51:31 PM

the server lived a brief, glorious life

5/28/2011 7:53:54 PM

Well shit.

It's the server restart addin. Apparently even though it restarted the server, it continues to pile up the allocated memory until blam... server cant restart.

Disabled the restarter, until I can find something better I'll just restart the server if/when it starts lagging again.

5/29/2011 1:44:38 PM

Oh and server is back up now

5/29/2011 1:45:17 PM

Any guess when it'll have the updates?

5/29/2011 1:46:24 PM

as soon as the updates come out, it will have them

5/29/2011 2:28:08 PM

Ah, gotcha - thought the serverside ones came out, but I guess addons need to update as well.

5/29/2011 3:09:53 PM

Notch fixes SMP by fucking its ability to actually work so hard that we all forget that it had some flaws to begin with.

THE NOTCH METHOD.

5/31/2011 12:09:49 AM

Server just crashed.

5/31/2011 12:09:30 PM

Yeah you caused it Somehow when you /home'd the client and server mismatched your location which cause a reboot. Everything auto-restarted and looks like it all worked out just fine (other than a ~1hour rollback to the map)

---------------------

On a positive note, two test builds are out for Bukkit on 1.6.6. Hopefully we'll get a stable recommended build this week and can move to the latest version

I haven't played in a few months and haven't been keeping up. Is the map the old map that Saturnine was hosting? is there a there a map view link also?

5/31/2011 10:51:17 PM

Yes and yes. http://mc.thewolfweb.com:44000 is the map link

5/31/2011 11:37:45 PM

attempting to upgrade everything to 1.6. everything will be offline tonight

6/1/2011 1:55:02 AM

Server is back online running 1.6.6

Everything is enabled as it was in 1.5.02 I have a full server backup just in case.

Nether and Portals are enabled. Let me know if the server goes down or gets horked.

6/1/2011 3:35:31 AM

booyah map_0

Noen: any chance of implementing the redstone-controlled netherrack mod?

6/1/2011 9:12:23 AM

link me to the plugin and I'll take a look.

btw the map is going to be non-working for a while. it consumes a lot of resources and until I know that this new build is solid and stable, I dont want to push things

(plus you can all make in game maps now )
