https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20190414T18&p0=%3A&msg=Pixelmon&font=hand&csz=1

Yes I know the name of the countdown ruins the mysterious title. Hope to see you guys on launch. I do have a question for you guys though.

If I can launch earlier than the countdown,  would you rather that or me wait till the timer hits 0?

I know progress has been slow with pix lately but I've been busy and up till fairly recently it was just me working on the new server. @Loasty , @Dday694 and @DeltaCosmic have stepped up to the plate and have been an immense help to me with the server.


I am holding back on launching the server because I want it to be as close to perfect before it gets released as we can get it. Currently the only thing that's left to do is wait for a few bug fixes and finish up the gyms. I need to setup the 8 NPC leaders for players to battle. Once players beat all 8 NPCs they can work on becoming a gymleader too. Now being a Gymleader wont be a rank like it has been on previous servers, instead you will have access to special commands to alert players when your gym is open or closed.


TL;DR I didnt forget about pix, we are not that far from launch. Once the server is launched I will start advertising it to gain us some new players.

General Discussion / Any fisherpeople here?
Sep 29, 2018, 08:52 PM
Any of y'all like to go fishing? Starii and me recently got addicted to it. We do saltwater shoreline fishing because the license is free. We're interested in doing freshwater but the license is $17/ea per year and we havent gotten it yet.

We recently got really lucky with some fishing gear, got 2 10ft bigwater ugly stiks & reels for $17/ea new at walmart due to a pricing error (Supposed to be $79.95 ea) and a ugly stik gx2 with reel for $9 because some walmart employee put it in the system as a zebco fishing rod... Supposed to cost like $50

Anyways, if you're into fishing post your catches/gear here. I don't have much gear but when I start catching some nice fish I'll add some pics. So far I've caught an Atlantic black tip shark, Atlantic sharpnose shark, Gaftop sail catfish, hardhead catfish, lady fish and a mangrove snapper

General Announcements / 7 years
Feb 28, 2018, 03:34 AM
Turns out no one cares I missed my 7 year anniversary on SFT. A lot has happened over the years, time has flown. You'd probably think I'd write out a long post, but Im bad at that.

Thanks for the time, here's to some more time

Pokemon Hunt
Upon joining the server type /hunt to see which pokemon are on the list. If you catch the pokemon you will receive a reward. Hover over the [Rewards] to see which rewards that particular pokemon has.

For example this Magikarp will give me 2 love balls, 93 coins and 2 rare candies.

Any pokemon on the /hunt list will receive a 10% IV boost when caught, if it has one of the listed natures you get rewards and an even greater IV boost

/hunt is pikachu+ rank

WonderTrade
Fixed the issues with Tapus being added to the pool and not recognized as a legendary. Pikachu+ can now use /wt again

PixelAnnouncer
Fixed Tapus not sending a catch message when a player catches a Tapu

Pixelwiki
Added an ingame wiki, to access it simply type /pwiki

Version 1.2.1 (Current server/pack version)
FPS: 36
Ram usage: 1.8GB+
Minecraft version: 1.10.2
Screenshot: Click

Notes: I can get higher FPS on this version, but I have constant lag spikes

Version 1.3.2 (This is the current released version but it has a CPU usage bug thats preventing me from updating.)
FPS:262, but fluctuates with severe drops
Ram usage: 1.8-2GB
Minecraft version: 1.10.2
Screenshot: Click

Version 1.4.0 (This is a super early build, wont be released for a while but we can help the devs test it once I get a better build)
FPS: 821
Ram usage: 800-1.2GB
Minecraft version: 1.12.2
Screenshot: Click

Notes: This test is done without any optifine, foamfix or betterfps these mods will give even further gains once I add them to the pack.

Version 3.5.1 Pix Classic
FPS:128-180
Ram usage: 600-1GB
Minecraft version: 1.7.10
Screenshot: Click


These are just quick tests so you guys can see the difference levels of performance over the different versions of the mod, you might experience different results. As you can see, the update to 1.12.2 puts us closer back to the ram requirements of classic.

As the image says, the arena is functional but I can't for the life of me figure out how to build in the "lobby" of the arena, so for now it'll look a little incomplete. To visit the training arena simply do /warp ta if you want to visit the old Training arenas the warps are taold and talow

What do you think I should focus on next?

General Announcements / [Pixelmon]TM/HM shop!
Nov 07, 2017, 02:57 AM
I've finished the TM/HM shop on pixelmon. I studied the configuration files and got it working the way I wanted. With advice on pricing from @TheBluePill I was able to adjust all of the prices to suit the servers economy.

The TMs/HMs are separated among 3 tiers of shopkeepers as per the drop tiers of the TM/HMs (Found Here)

Stock will change every MC day and prices adjust to +/- 10%~ every day to have a more dynamic economy. Some days you'll find really good deals others not so much. Once I rest a bit I'll start adding other items to the shopkeepers.

@TheTrueMadKing and @DoctorFireclaw  post here with what prizes you would like to receive.

1st place: Random legendary OR random shiny
2nd place random shiny OR 16 rare candies.

I appreciate everyones entry and we will be doing more of these for sure. What kind of build themes would you like to see?

I'll also be giving out 3 rare candies for each entry who did not win, so the following people
@Chocobo123456 @JJ Inugami @Kray0ns @TheBluePill @Bronsokip222 @garow93 @AmberKat

will be receiving 3 rare candies upon their next login.

So upon loading up pixelmon you will be greeted with a big colorful bold message that says "THE FUTURE OF THE MOD...." Do not go to the link, DO NOT go to it.

It is a scam, here is an announcement from the Pixelmon Generations team:

Quote from: PokeNinjaTo respond to the allegations of what WiFiSpy and team are saying about any malicious code that was implemented into Pixelmon Dark/Generations:
The person that put this malicious code into the mod is Nick Doran
I will attach the proof of him putting the code in himself.
He is also the person that has hacked our servers, GoDaddy account, and much more.
We entrusted him with private information (access and passwords) and he undoubtedly tried to sabotage the mod and the community.
This former developer of the original Pixelmon Mod is solely responsible for the code and was removed from the team months ago

The good news is that the code was not finished, it can not harm servers, and will be completely removed in the next update.
No articles, text , or pastebins with alleged requests asking players or server owners for money to be on the modpack are true.
Every server owner can testify that we have never charged a penny to be listed on the featured owners list (instead we only asked for their help behind the scenes)
So if you do not see an image of myself or Generations team claiming something, it is no doubt a hoax.

So for your safety, do not go to that link. If you have already, you should be fine but I wouldn't risk it again. They are working on removing it as we speak, so once the update is out we will be pushing an update again.

Want a chance to win some prizes? Then all you have to do is head over to our BuyCraft shop and claim your Halloween Event starter package (Don't worry, its free!) once you claim your gift you'll receive a few items ingame. The point of this event is to showcase the Chisel & Bits mod, which I think is an absolutely brilliant mod.

You will be given enough items to get you started, but you are welcome to add in any other blocks you want. The pumpkin must fit in a 4x4x4 block area

Rules:
Must be built on the server and placed in a protected area.
Must have a warp to the pumpkin
Must fit in a 4x4x4 area. You don't have to use the whole area, but you can add extra details like vines, maybe some skeleton hands coming out of the ground and tombstones
1 entry per person

Prizes:
If we get 5 or more entries, we will pick 3 winners. If we get less than 5 entries - only one winner will be picked.

1st place: Random legendary OR Random shiny
2nd place: Random shiny OR 16 rare candies
3rd place 16 rare candies

How to submit your entries:
Simply reply to this topic with a mention of your ingame minecraft name & a warp to your pumpkin. I will then come online and take a look, entries must be submitted by October 30th, the winners will be announced on November 1st.

I've finally found an autoshop plugin that works for us. I've added a basic spawnshop at /warp emp here you can buy & sell pokeballs and sell basic ores. There will be more additions, I'm just busy. I am considering keeping the TMs/HMs as a manager+ ran emporium like Survivals - but we'll see. I just dont know how I am going to fit 150+ signs for tms and make it user-friendly.

I am also working on adding a second building world which will have biomesoplenty enabled (and maybe structure generation)

In the works:

Player autoshops
Inventory pets
BOP world
Legendary ranks/prefixes
More voting sites
Maybe some sleep for me
19
I've set up a voting site for our Pixelmon server, currently I only have one site setup but I plan on adding more. The rewards for voting are a little OP, but I've taken into consideration that we only have one voting site. As more sites get added, I will add in some filler items too.

Click here to vote

Current possible rewards are 2 random of the following:

x1 Diamond
x1 Emerald
x1 Rare candy
x1 Silver hourglass
x1 Gold hourglass
x2 Ultraballs

As well as 100-5k pokebucks
20
Boy where do I even start. There is a *lot* of changes in this version, huge thanks to the Pixelmon Generations team - They have been hard at work for this update. To sum it up There are 208 new pokemon, loads of new megas and countless new models.

New megas, new bosses, new models, bug fixes - too much to list. You'll just have to Head ingame to see for yourself :)

Other changes:
I changed some options on the modpack, it should run a bit better now. One user online has said his FPS went from 14-30 to 60+ so if you had issues before, hop and and see how it is. I'm curious to hear if the changes have helped. (do note these changes can only do so much to help your toaster play pixelmon..)

I have changed the rank requirements for /evs and it is now accessible by the Pikachu rank. Rank Charizard will remain a requirement for /ivs however.


GTS has been fixed and will no longer delete pixelmons on a server restart. For more information on how to use gts, use /gts help ingame.

Default players can add temporary listings to GTS and buy from GTS. Charizard ranked players can add never-ending listings by using the flag -n (Example: /gts add <slot> -n <price>)

To prevent yourself from GTS messages, type /gts ignore

More to come:
Adminshop at spawn
Player-autoshops
Sleep for me? maybe

And of course other things like gyms and stuff but one thing at a time.
21
The high level training arena has been finished & opened to the public, feel free to go check it out and leave us some feedback on what you'd like to see changed. To get there simply type /warp TaHigh

(The old training arena remains as a way for new players to level up their Pixelmon, to get there simply type /warp TaLow)

High level arena Pixelmon:

Pidgeot - speed
Poliwrath - defense
Victreebel - Attack
Wigglytuff - hp
Vileplume - spatk
Bellossom - spdef
22
I'm interested in hearing where everyone is. Is there something wrong with the server? What can I do to bring you back to play?

Now that the hurricane has passed and I'm relatively free I can resume working on pix again.

23
Hey guys just wanted to make a post letting you all know that over the next few days you will most likely see less of me and starii. Hurricane Irma keeps shifting more and more towards me so with each new predicted path I'll be getting hit even harder. I believe we are expecting the storm to arrive Saturday or Sunday, so until then I'll be here still.

Wish me luck, and if you're in Florida - good luck. Post here and share your plans
24
I have updated the server to 5.1.2E

Changelog:
Client/Server
Updated Chisel
Updated Chisel & bits
Updated Biomes'o'Plenty
Updated CustomNPCS
Updated Foamfix
Updated HoloInventory
Updated Ironchest

Server
Updated Nucleus
Updated Nucleus mixins
Updated Luckperms

Notable fixes:
Chisel server crash
25
On August 18th I will increase the xp rates of battles by 35%, this will last until August 21st.

I was going to do increased legends/shinies again but I accidentally set the legends spawn rate too high after the last event and we ended up spawning a ton of them ;)
26
If someone can post a screenshot of 30+ players on our Pixelmon server (not classic) I will let the first person choose which legendary to add to /wt
27
I've completely overhauled the premium shop and re-set up everything from scratch (cleaned up variables and back-end stuff to make it easier for me to use)

I can't seem to figure out how to do the community goals the way I want to so for now I set it up to give everyone 3 rare candies for every $50 spent on the shop.

Let me know what you guys think of the shop so far, I will be adding Premium ranks and Legendaries to the shop at a later date (It is 6:40am and yet again here I am working on pix.. I didnt feel like adding in new ranks :P)

Click here for the shop

General Announcements / [Pixelmon] New stuff!
Aug 12, 2017, 11:00 AM
Changelog:
Updated Wondertrade
Updated Pixelextras
Added GTS (Cant seem to get this one to work, gonna test it some more on a dev server)
Added AGP (Exploring this one, havent set up yet -- should allow NPC gyms)
Added Pixelannouncer (Broadcasts when players catch shinys/legends or trades them)
Added PixelmonEconomyBridge (merges pixelmon money with /money, so now trainers will give you actual economy money)
Added PixelMoney (wild pokemon will sometimes drop money needs to be tweaked)
Added Tournaments (Im most excited about this one)

Few new commands:

Substitute the bold below for <info>
biome: Lists all the biomes the specified Pokémon will spawn in.
catch: Displays the Pokémon's catch rate.
egggroup: Lists the Egg Group(s) of the specified Pokémon.
evo: Lists the name of the Pokémon's next evolution (if any) and the requirements for evolving into it.
genderratio: Displays the percent chance that a Pokémon is male or if it is genderless.

time: Displays which times the specified Pokémon will spawn.

/tms <pokemon>
(lists compatible TM's with the pokemon)

/dexcheck
(Shows you your pokedex progress)


Sorry if the post seems rushed, its 7am and i lost track of time. I'll further tweak this tomorrow or later today as I change things (Currently there are no gyms.)

29
For the weekend I have doubled the spawn rates of legends and shinies. On 8/13 I will return the rates to default


*Pixelmon classic is not included in this event
30
I've heard there was some unhappy campers regarding the rule against flat-eartherslanders. So I wanted to clarify and modify it a bit to (hopefully) make everyone happy.

There are no floating platforms allowed at all - they just create lighting glitches and prevent the land below from spawning pokemon as well as making people not want to use the land to build.

Examples:
This is NOT ok
This is OK

You are allowed to flatten the land on the ground, just don't over do it. I think a size of 75x75 is fairly reasonable. (Smaller square = 50x50, larger =75x75) Now 75x75 isnt the set-in-stone rules, its just a size to go by. We are not going to punish you for going slightly over, just be reasonable - we have one map and we have to share it with everyone.


31
Hey guys, just wanted to let y'all know of some small additions & changes to the server.

I have added a beginner training arena with much help from @LavishGaming and @iLaxrv10

To get there type /warp ta

The focus of this area is to help new joins find low level pokemon to train on -- not so much evs like previous arenas (Those will come later)

Currently the pokemon that spawn there are:

Pidgey level 1-10
Rattata level 1-10
Sentret level 1-10

They do not (shouldnt anyways) spawn as bosses. I don't know if they spawn as shinies or not, let me know if anyone finds any.

*if you have feedback on the pokemon that spawn, let me know here*

I have also made a mini spawn for first time joining players to help reduce lag on join. You can visit there by typing /firstspawn using /spawn will take you to the full spawntown

Boss spawn rates have also been increased slightly, let me know what you think of them.
32
Don't forget to come give us a visit! I know you've probably seen the player counter on the homepage says 0 players are online but don't worry -- that's just broken currently. There are usually 10-15+ players on at almost any hour.

Click Here to visit our modpack page (Under renovation) for information on how to download the modpack. While you're there, don't forget to drop us a like :)
33
Hey guys, I added automated rankups. I'm not too sure if I like this plugin yet, so this is just a test to see if I like it

Default => Pikachu is 24hours uptime
Pikachu => Charizard is 72hrs

There are no Gymleader ranks yet, I intend to test a plugin later down the road.

34
Hey guys, sorry this took as long as it did but things have been crazy. I believe things are finally done and the server is officially open. Our old Pixelmon server has been renamed to "Pixelmon Classic" Please view this Topic for information on how to switch between the versions.

Not everything is functional in our new server, I will be adding them as we can. Currently we do not have the following:

  • Training arena
  • Automated rankup
  • Gyms
  • Premium shop
  • Few things i cant remember

If you happen to find any bugs, please report them to me and I'll look into it and fix it as fast as I can.

Also, first 25 joins can get a free mystery gift present (Press L to open up the mystery gift menu)

Jul 20, 2017, 09:00 PM
Sorry this isn't the pix post y'all were wanting but there may be a few hours delay in launching today. Last night @magl  helped me test last minute and discovered Pokémon didn't drop items. I spent the better part of the night working on that and managed to fix it.

Spent 2pm to 6am working on pix before passing out, woke up again at noon this morning and ended up running around town doing errands, a friend of mine needs a ride to take his new puppy to the vet so I won't be home till later tonight most likely

So given the recent development with the Pixelmon mod, we are currently stuck on version 5.0.1 which means we will miss out on quite a few bug fixes & Mega evolutions. Currently we have two options.

Stay on version 5.0.1 with sidemods (GTS, Economy bridge and a few more that I havent tested yet on v5.1.2, but so far none work.) or update to version 5.1.2 and remove -all- side mods and run just pixelmon 5.1.2. Which do you think sounds best?

*Sidemods for pixelmon are mods that relate directly with Pixelmon, chisel for example is not a sidemod.

Well we're getting ready to launch the pixelmon server (less than a week from now) and I get a message from Towelie..
Seems Pixelmon  got a Cease and desist letter from Pokemon and the team at Pixelmon will be ceasing all future development. While we are still going to proceed with the launch on the 20th, I wanted to keep you guys informed because things could get messy. I don't know how Technic will handle this, they very well could start deleting any Pixelmon modpacks on their platform to prevent them from being in any way liable for anything.

We are considering not offering a Premium shop for the pixelmon server at all, because with all of this I don't know if the server will be around long. What are your opinions on this?
38
Hey guys, it's getting near that time and while I do not have a definite date to give you, I have a deadline to have it released by.

I will do my best to get it launched before, but it will be released no later than July 20th.

FAQ

What will happen to the Current Pixelmon server?
  The server will be renamed to Pixelmon Classic, it will remain open to the public and maintained. I will however close the current Premium shop and reopen a much smaller one with just a few packages.

Will my stuff carry over to the new server?
  No, the only data that can be carried over to the new server is the Pokemon files -- and I think its time for a fresh start for everyone. We've had the same pokemon files since I believe 2013 back when the server first opened up.

What about the stuff I paid for?
  Everything you've paid for is still accessible on the Pixelmon Classic server. You will not lose anything, I am adding a new server not updating one.

Why did this take so long?
  Busy life with not much help.

Whats different about this server?
  It's updated to version 5.0.1, which is currently outdated but still offers a lot of new features. Once I have the server launched, I'll begin updating to a more recent version. There should not be another reset for the updates, however they are going to be focusing on updating the mod to minecraft 1.11.2 once sponge offers a stable/mature solution for plugins. So I don't know the effects that'll have on updating.

Will the servers have the same ranks?
  No, the servers will have similar rank names but will not share ranks. I may add ranks to the new pixelmon server that requires x ammount of uptime/join date on Pixelmon Classic (Like a Pixelmon Veteran rank - still undecided)

What about forum ranks?
  We may shrink down the forum ranks to just be something simple such as Pixelmon Fire (Replaces Charmander, Charmeleon, Charizard), Pixelmon Water and Pixelmon Leaf or something along those lines.
Overall this has been quite a learning experience for me and I hope to continue to learn.

Hope your birthday turns out to be good! @Stariieyed

Hello, Stari here!
I'm posting for dpa because he burnt his hand really bad while we were cooking today.
The pressure cooker exploded and he has second degree burns covering the entirety of his left hand.
He just needs a day or so to let it heal.

He says "Guys I might not make it "

Hey guys,

I know it hasnt been that long since my last status update but we hit a milestone - The spawn is presentable! Not finished, just not messed up around the edges -- Will be improved, but its at an acceptable point. Don't be fooled though, this was a TON of work and has taken me and @Dday694 several days to do.

Feel free to check it out Here
*Map may glitch out as it needs to fully render/update

What we're lacking right now is a few key areas around spawn such as a useful information area, pokecenter, rule boards and so on. Nothing too serious that wont take much effort to do.

After all that, I'll do a once-over of the plugin and mod configuration files and prepare for the official launch.

Planned features after launch:
Pstats (Nearly done, I think)
Automatic Rankups
GymLeaders
Elite4
Premium shop
Event World (Sadly I don't think theres many event plugins for sponge like Spigot has.)


Which is the next point I want to get to - The future of our Pixelmon server.

Our situation right now isnt the best and I'm not going to waste your time by asking how it got this bad. The answers pretty obvious and I'm not going to act like I have no blame in the matter. We've sat on the same version for over a year with nothing new added and have had the same pokemon files since July 2013. We also let you guys down on events, I tried to host a few but I just could not find the time to do it regularly and was not able to find anyone else to do it for me (Mind you I cant just let anyone have access to staff commands/eventhost commands). With the launch of this new server, I'll make the extra effort to bring our events up to your standards.

Hey guys,

I've been working pretty hard on releasing pix 1.10.2 and I think I'm getting very close to release despite a few hefty setbacks. I've had to redo the permissions file numerous times due to some plugin screwups and some mishaps on my behalf. I'm learning a new system so I'm bound to make some mistakes here and there -- I'm not perfect. Which brings us to our most recent set back -- The lost of all of our progress on the new spawn town.

Something happened (To which I believe to be my mistake, but I can't reproduce it) and our map corrupted. So I did what any sensible person would do - I rolled it back to my latest backup... And it corrupted too. The problem? I didnt copy the backup. So I lost the map entirely and was left with the next recent backup from March 22nd. I have a backup plan, @Towelie was kind enough to loan us a spawntown from Survival and I'm in the process of placing it into a Forge world.

Basically we have these all over the map:

And I have to fix it so it looks like this:

You can keep up with the progress by viewing the Dynmap

We're also going to most likely launch missing a few key features such as a Premium shop, Automatic Rank-up and player GymLeaders/Elite4.

So I've been pretty quiet last few days, mostly because I have a migraine/sinus headache/infection thing. Been unable to look at screens for a long period of time, but it's starting to get tolerable. The other reason was I didn't have a GPU since I had sold mine and bought an upgrade, which got lost/delayed due to the winter storms.

Anyways, I just wanted to give y'all an update on the progress of things.

Currently, the server is 90% complete (I previously thought it was 100%, but as I was writing this post I remembered I had forgotten some permissions haha...)

Mostly all we're waiting on right now is some in-house plugins to be finished and a spawn town/tutorial area.

I've decided to just open the beta server for everyone to test on. Please head over to the Beta tester boards to find out more information:

Click

Please note: This is a BETA server and is prone to glitches, sudden restarts & resets. None of your progress on this map will carry over to the live server.

Select the mods you would like added, also post why or why not.

General Announcements / Inactivity notice

@Stariieyed fell in the kitchen last night and got hurt pretty bad.

Short version: I'm going to be inactive while I take care of her. Probably 4-6 weeks best case scenario

Long version: she tore her meniscus on the left side of her right knee, pulled a ligament on the right side of her right knee which in turn pulled a bone fragment off her knee and fractured her knee. She also dislocated it as well, we're looking at the possibility of needing surgery. Unfortunately our bedroom is upstairs, so I'll be sleeping on the floor while she takes the couch. This also means I'll have very limited access to my computer because I need to keep an eye on her

So the biggest thing holding me back from resetting & updating the Pixelmon modpack is one of two things. (besides the modpack/server not being ready)

Donations.

I'm not sure how to handle this, say I let every player keep 6 pokemon (their party) and 6 of those happen to be donated pokemon. Now that player can claim their donations and bam - they now have 2x of their legends and the server economy is off to a horrible start.

Ranks & Permissions.

Since we will be updating to a new pixelmon version (And Minecraft) we will be using an entirely new server wrapper. This means none of our back-end plugins will work on the new server. So we have to use a whole new permissions plugin, unfortunately this means I can't import each users existing permissions/rank so everyone will have to start at Zubat.

Modpack performance

It's been brought to my attention that a lot of you guys play minecraft on glorified toasters. So quite a lot of you will have issues running the updated modpack, so that means updating will cut a lot of you guys from being able to play.

Possible solutions?

Well, what I've wanted to do from day 1 was run two servers - the current one will be kept as a legacy server, and the new one will be updated and treated as our main priority.

Hey guys, I'm working on the pixelmon update, we'll be moving to Pixelmon 5.0.1 (MC 1.10.2) and I currently have a test server running surprisingly well. So I figured I'd offer you guys a chance to make suggestions for plugins/mods.

Where to find plugins:
Here

Where to find mods:
Here

We are currently working on MC 1.10.2

I won't add every suggestion obviously, but I will take a look at each one.

If you're having issues with loading the modpack, it seems that the recent GeForce driver broke the modpack.

Just down-grade your driver and it should work again. I'm using version 376.33 and it seems to work fine.
