General Announcements / Prison map re-visit
Dec 08, 2014, 05:38 PM
Some of you may remember our Prison Server. While it died out due to various conditions, I have had a lot of requests to make a new prison server. Sadly this isn't it, but, I have found the old prison map.
Its story: After the prison server stopped I also lost all its files due to a hard drive failure (the backup hard drive failure) and I thought everything was lost. Today, I found the map in my gmail, in a conversation between me and one of the map builders.

To re-visit it (only the map, on a vanilla adventure server), come to 89.35.251.223

NOTE: This is not the final map, it's a map from a bit before release so some things are missing that were present in the final server.

We give you, this adorable group picture, straight from our Survival (mc.superfuntime.org) server.
We were decorating the spawntown for the holidays and so many players were around spawn, so I decided to call everyone for a group picture. Some of them came and this is the result!

NOTE: The spawntown has been decorated for the Winter Holidays, however, this will not be our primary location where events are hold - we have an entirely new location built for this occasion. More details will be revealed later on.


Edit: More Pictures

Thanks for the heads up. Also, if we are beig abused by the glitch, will we get refunded? And is there a command to teleport to all shops created by a specific person? (Me)
We won't refund all occurances, only those that we have clear proof.

The latest update of ChestShop seems to have lost the ability to sell custom items!
Please destroy all your autoshops that buy custom items ASAP! Otherwise, you may be sold the normal variant of the item instead and lose a lot of items.

NOTE: We will heavily punish the abusers, we have a transaction log and we will identify those who abuse this and punish them.
NOTE 2: Use global market to sell custom items

Pixelmon now has its own Facebook Page -> https://www.facebook.com/sftpixelmon

Check it out and give us a like please!
3359
GlobalMarket got an update today, overhauling it.
It now features grouped listings (so if 10 people are selling melons, it will group them into a single item -> melons with the lowest priced item being first
All your active listings can be found in /mm now

And many more new features, as well as a revamp to its graphical user interface.

I think its a bad server because hardly no one ever listens to u deliberately and its something important
What Jamie said.
3361
This probably sounds stupid but how do you make gifs like that? xD I'm serious.
3362
I don't think we can ever control that. It's not really an update to do, it's just a limitation that Minecraft has.
3363
It's working now
3364
Our Survival server is now running on Minecraft 1.8.
Due to this, the lobby was set to only accept connections from 1.8 clients.

NOTE: We highly recommend using 1.8.1 and not 1.8 (due to performance improvements in 1.8.1).
3365
This is just an update so you know what the progress is with the 1.8 update.

Currently everything is prepared and ready for an update, with just minimal damage (we are losing Pets, /fwrider and possibly BattleArena (/dm join) for now, as well as some Administrative tools (NBTEditor - the tool that allows me to make all the custom items for SteveCo crates and so on).

However, we have decided to delay the update because of WorldEdit not being updated for 1.8. We could update now, with it as it is but that would mean that any worldedit would not carry over chest inventories or text on signs. Since the Managers+ are very busy moving player builds, I have decided to leave the server on 1.7.0 until a) WorldEdit is updated to support 1.8 or b) the world2 reset. So we have a maximum date of December 21st with an estimated upgrade time of ~1 week (that's when I believe a worldedit update will be out).

Hope this clarifies.

PS: We are still struggling to find a decent world to replace the world that is about to reset. Currently we are struggling with worlds with a ratio of 70%ocean to 30% land. We are trying to find better ones, but since dynmap is not enabled, I am forced to use slower tools that take me on average, ~4-5h to generate a world and build a preview of it.

Do spawner count as a build being moved? And inb4 anyone asks w2 is the old world
Spawners don't count as a build if donated for. NOTE: Spawner = just the actual mob spawner and not the whole "facility".

Bummer all my builds are probably far too big to be moved :(
Ask a Manager+ anyway. If they are awesome they will be moved anyway due to the "attractions have priority" rule.
3368
Actually chest contents might be removed by WE. Maybe not right now but after we update to 1.8 (which will be in ~1-2 days) we will be using an experimental build of WorldEdit which, amongst other bugs, does not carry over the inventories of transferred chests.

Also, Mob Spawners you donated for = will be moved.
3369
IF NO MANAGER+ ARE ONLINE, USE THIS FORM: http://www.superfuntime.org/forum/minecraft-discussions/request-a-build-move!/

World2 will be reset in 3 weeks to make room for a new world that will contain 1.8 blocks and items.
I know I promised to give you guys 1 month of notice but I cannot because that would be exactly between Christmas and New Year's Eve.

To compensate for this, each player will be able to have two builds moved from World2 to World1.
Rules for moving:
- Build must not be a farm (Only shops or houses  - BUT NOT AUTOSHOPS)
- Builds must not be a town or huge in size (we are sorry but we cannot justify the intense lag that moving a town creates and the time wasted)
- Builds must not be on water (directly in water, it's ok if they are above)
- Builds must not be griefed/incomplete
- Attractions / Community Builds will have priority in being moved
- The only acceptable way to request a move is to message a Manager+ while they are online or to create a post. Do not open tickets on this matter!
- Managers are allowed to decline moving a build if they consider the value of that build doe snot justify occupying the land.
- Managers are allowed to decline moving a build to any player that might have offended them or a member of the staff team.
- We will transfer any DONATED Mob Spawners from World2 to World1, unconditionally.
- A thread will be made, where you can request a move if you can't find any Manager+ online

Let's hope we'll get past this well and not many of you will be angry!
Roadmap: By the end of November we will update the server to 1.8, by the end of December we will have a new world with fresh 1.8 land.


NOTE: World2 is the cause of about ~60% of the lag on Survival so this world reset will also be beneficial for lag. We are sorry for having to do this, but I promise we will make it up to you. I have my manager+ team programmed for "player satisfaction" first. We do not want to lose you guys!

First, I'd like to remind you that we are currently having a Black Friday sale until this Sunday.
Head on to http://superfuntime.buycraft.net/ or http://sftpixelmon.buycraft.net/ to benefit from discounts of up to 50%, this weekend only!

Second, I'd like to say that we started working on the 1.8 update. This will take some time, probably less than initially expected, but I'd say at best, we are looking at ~48h
The following plugins will be broken by the update and we currently have no estimate of when they will be back (As they are thirdparty) - > ChestShop (Autoshops), GlobalMarket (/ml - we might be able to fix this), MobCatcher, Disguise Plugin

At the moment me and the devs are hard at work preparing the update.

Will the ranks for Pixelmon also be included for discount? c:
yep
3372
How it is on Survival:
- All the cosmetic items and ~3 non-cosmetic items are discounted 50% (the 3 non-cosmetic items are going to be permanently removed from the premium shop on monday.). Other items (such as mystery chests and ranks) are 30% off.

PS: This weekend is the last possible time to purchase the old Sponsor/Santaclaus rank that comes with godmode. It's 50% off and after this weekend it will be impossible to obtain godmode on survival. (those that have it, will keep it)

General Announcements / About Black Friday
Nov 27, 2014, 05:07 PM
So, these are a few details about Black Friday on SFT.
It starts tomorrow, discounts vary between 30% and 50% and it ends on Sunday.
Participating servers are Pixelmon, Survival, Factions, Creative
We wanted to do it for B-Team too but it turns out due to an account problem we cannot create sales/coupons on b-team.

Right so, i will start by saying that our forums have declined in popularity over time so now we just have a handful of people that still post on the forums and keep the forum from dying.
Due to that, as of this moment, it is a mandatory task for any and all staff members of any and all of our servers to promote forum activity. It's your responsability to remind players that they can socialize with sft players and find help on superfuntime.org/forum. I would like you to tell every player that you help this.

The reason I'm not posting this in staff boards is:
1) I want all staff members from all servers to do this so I would've had to make several posts
2) As much as possible, I want to ask the players, especially Elite+ to also do this.

Thank you!
