Topics

I decided to ask you guys for feedback (following Towelies post) on how I am as a server owner. I am aware of a few problems I have - I'm not really a public person. I tend to just hide behind a curtain and do stuff. I need to post more and stop taking on so many different projects.

Be as harsh or nice as you want, I can handle it.

[$18]

I've reduced the prices on a few packages on the shop and did a big cleanup for stuff behind the scenes so it's more organized.

Changes are as follows:

Legendaries $30 => $18
Non Legendaries $18 => $12
Random Shiny $12 => $12
Legendary spawnrate increase $35 => $15
Shiny spawnrate increase $35 => $15
Legendary ranks $35 => $25
Master rank $15 => $12
Supporter rank $45 => $35

Fixed:
Missing/broken images

We are also having a 20% off sale running currently, ends on the 10th of January.
More changes/additions to come -- just wanted to get this out there.

Cyber Monday starts now! (well, it started a while ago but I just now got home  )

Check in for our deals and see if anything catches your eye, keep in mind there is limited stock. There are only 50 Random shinies x2 and 10 of each legendary. Each legendary will be discounted $10 USD and come with a free random shiny. That's a total of $22 in value, absolutely free.

The sale will end November 30th, so act fast!

I've seen this issue pop up a few times lately, so I thought to make a post to remind everyone that it is your responsibility to know what you have when you sell it, if someone tells you that your pokemon is worth 500k and you agree to sell it for 500k - only to find out later it was worth 750k, that 250k loss is your fault.

That's not scamming, that is irresponsibility on your end. Its your job to know what you have, make sure you consult with numerous people about the value - maybe we can start a new program where you can pay knowledgeable players to "appraise" the pokemon in question.

Regardless, just be safe and do research before you buy/sell anything.

I've been trying to think of some cool fun stuff we can do for when Sun/Moon releases

Ideas so far:

Race to be the first to beat the gyms (If there are any, I havent heard it confirmed or not if they've been scrapped)
If theres no gyms, first to beat all the trials

Race to beat the elite 4 (if there is any)

Challenge to see who can catch the first new generation Shiny

See who has the most pokemon caught by December 1st


These are just a few fun little events I was thinking we could do, we could also share friend codes to trade/battle and whatnot.

I would also like to do a give-away and give away a copy of the game, but I'm not sure if that would even be possible to do since we would have to ask for too much information.

E: Forgot to mention that there would also be some prizes on the pixelmon server to give for whoever wins. So post some feedback on how you think this would work, if you would participate etc or if you have an idea for a challenge

[1st Place:]

1st Place:
@sdude109  (Candy Corn Feraligator)

2nd Place:
@CaykoMarie   (Trick or Treat)

3rd Place:
@Curse  (Honchkrow Library)


Winners, please post within 72hrs claiming your prizes or your prize may be forfeited.

In spirits of Halloween I've added a 35% sale to the Pixelmon Premium shop.

I've also done the following:

Added a free rare candy package: Click
This will give you 1-6 rare candies (random amount) claimable one per player!

Increased legendary spawn rate by double!

The sale & event items will end on November 1st, so act fast!

In other news, I enabled pixelmon spawning in /w2 (World2) as a short test, if this doesnt affect lag too bad I'll leave it enabled there.

[Old:]

Heres a quick summary of the new world naming scheme:


Worldname | Command to get there

Old:
world1 (/w1)
New:
World2 (/w2)

Old:
gamingworld (/w3)
New:
Gaming (/w3)

Old:
buildingworld (/w2)
New:
World2OLD (/old)

The new world is simply World1 (/w1)

Pixelmon will only spawn in this new world now. The World2OLD (formally buildingworld) Will be shutdown and removed on december 11th. Please start moving your builds & items right away as once this world is removed, your items will be too.

Coming soon to Pixelmon, we will be opening our very own Emporium styled shop. We will sell all TM's and Hm's.

Oh and we might also sell some kind of berry that reduces ev's or something, but who cares about that...

Here is our projected prices, they're subject to change: Click

As you can see based on what day of the week it is, the shop will only sell certain berries. The shop will go live once we do the map reset.

Just to clarify, we will not be buying or selling any other blocks.

[Current setup:]

So it's finally getting to be that time, I wanted to post here to inform everyone of some changes that'll happen when I do the reset.

Current setup:

/w1 - world1 - This is the spawn in world (Click)
/w2 - gamingworld - This is the gaming world (No picture necessary)
/w3 - buildingworld (Click)

New setup: (hopefully)

/w1 - World1 - This will be the new world, all new players will spawn here for the first time (Click)
/w2 - World2 - This will be the old World1, moved to /World2 (Click)
/w3 - Gaming - This is the gaming world (No picture necessary)
/w3old - This will be the old building world. After the reset, this world will remain up for 2 weeks to allow players additional time to re-locate their items/builds (Click)



Would this confuse people too much?

Hey guys,

I know this was announced a long time ago, and most have probably forgotten about it - but we havent! We're just filthy casuals when it comes to playing games and we've been fairly busy.

Anyways, I've updated my topic found: Here

Starii will be updating hers shortly, you can find a link to her topic through my post. My goal is to finish our battle on this game, then host a party ingame where we can throw snowballs at the loser (AKA Starii) and kill bosses. I hope to have this finished before the launch of Sun/Moon as we'll be doing another event on there -- this time we'll race to beat the game first.

[(buildingworld)]

Hey guys,

I think we're getting ready to do the map reset within the next week or two so I wanted to give a little information on how this will go down.

I'm currently inspecting the world to check for any map corruption or chunks that did not properly generate when I created the world. After I verify it's safe to go, I'll begin uploading the map from the dev environment to the live server. Once the map is loaded into the live server, I'll begin creating the rule boards, holo texts (After I fix them, currently they're glitchy) fix the help area/move to the new world.

This world will be replacing /w3 (buildingworld) I will leave /w3 up for 1 week after the reset to allow players the chance to move over their items, we will not be moving any builds from this world to another with worldedit so don't ask.

The new world will become the world all new joins spawn in, I will also be moving the spawner for pixelmon to this world (I *MIGHT* enable the spawner in the new world as well as /w1 (world1) depending on how well my recent server changes have been doing)

clicky

E: Thats a low quality render of the spawn, the black areas are just modded blocks that I was too lazy to include in the dynmap to properly render

I've updated a few crucial plugins after testing them in a development instance for the past few days (Hopefully nothing goes wrong, curious if anyone could help me test WG not supporting uuids/automatically updating)

I've also switched from an outdated cauldron server wrapper to a new one so hopefully this will help with the crashes/recent lag. I'll be monitoring the server extensively over the next couple days to ensure this all goes as smooth as possible.

*most of these changes are back-end and you won't really notice any of them as a normal user


After I am confident these updates went smooth, I'll start rolling out some client updates. I have quite a lot of mods that I'm updating...

Nothing to worry about, some things going on and I won't be able to really work on sft stuff for the time being. I'll remove this topic if things change but if you need help with anything please don't ask me as I can't do any thing.

If you were considering getting the game, it's currently on sale for $17.99 USD

Click here

I've just reset the ark server so hurry up and get to taming some dinos!

As soon as I can get ahold of Towelie, we'll run a weeks worth of advertising as well.

[really]

Hey guys,

I will be resetting the Ark PVP map on the 30th of this month. Before then I would really appreciate it if you guys donate a little bit so we can do a week of advertisements at the launch of the map reset. Doing the advertising really helps the server get noticed and gets us lots of new joins. To donate to the ark server please click Here. If you do not have a minecraft account, just put Dpa1991 in the field.

Donation goal:

15/30 USD

I would also like for you guys to vote on which map we should use.

We're being sponsored on the voting site so hopefully we will see an increase of players. If you wish to check out ark, It's highly advised that you do so now as it's currently 50% off on steam!

To check out our server, head over here Click and be sure to follow the instructions before trying to join - otherwise it could take ages!

If you were up in the air about getting Ark to try out our new PVP server and (soon to come) PVE server I highly suggest you try out the game now, so you can see what you think of it before you buy.

We're all on the same team. We all (hopefully) want the same thing.

I know @djkirsh isn't perfect. None of us are. We're all doing our best, I'm sorry if that is not enough. The staff team will never be a perfect system, it will always have its flaws and it will always make mistakes.

Now if you guys want the server to improve and for us to get past this, I need EVERYONE to put their differences aside and let's get to work on this. I'm going to be doing my best to assist djkrish in shaping up the staff team - not because I personally feel shes doing a bad job but because I feel like shes overwhelmed with it.

If you have any complaints about the staff team, please send me or @djkirsh a forum message with screenshots or chat logs for proof to back up your accusations. Proof will help make this a lot easier.


So if you want change, please put past things in the past and lets look froward.

[I am not replacing @djkirsh by any means. I will be working alongside her feel free to contact her as well as me when you need help. Having two of us just means more coverage]

So I've been thinking about this for a while and I think it's time I stop thinking and act.

I'm not replacing Djkirsh, she is still the HOS. We just currently have two HOS now. I will be specializing in staff members making sure they are working correctly and correcting any mistakes that are made.

If you have any issues or questions feel free to message me and I will respond as soon as I can. The easiest way to get in contact with me will be to join discord and drop me a message. If you are reporting any issues, please provide proof (Screenshots/chat logs) or I will not take your complaint as serious.

I am not replacing @djkirsh by any means. I will be working alongside her feel free to contact her as well as me when you need help. Having two of us just means more coverage

I've been working on a sponge server to see how far they've come along ( I tend to check every month or so) and currently I think it might be possible to actually set up a 1.8 server. This would not replace the existing pixelmon server, it'd be an entirely new server with a fresh start for everyone. Currently it seems we have the following features for the 1.8 server -

Economy (Money)
Autoshops
Protections (Grief prevention)
Automesseges (Broadcasts for useful info, seems broken though)
Staff related plugins (bans/staff tools)
Homes
Warps
Auto ranking (Auto ranks you based on playtime/money)
Craft book (Gates/elavators)
Holograms (Holographic text like at /w1 spawn)
Telerequest (TPA)
Permissionsex (Permissions system)
Worldedit
Worldedit async (Faster worldediting, less lag)
Voxelsniper
Flexible login (/login so you can set passwords to your account)

These are just the plugins I've found, I've only setup a few and havent tested but 1 plugin so far.

Once I am done with the server side I will begin working on a client & the server mods. Due to the pixelmon devs breaking pixelmon on technic, you yourself will have to download the pixelmon mod and add it to our modpack manually.

I've decided to host a spur event in the next 2 hours. I'll be spawning ~10 bosses and dropping a book which will be redeemable for an autoshop permission node. If you already have autoshop and you get the book I'll have to take it back and drop the book again. My intentions are to give more people autoshops and not make those who already have it richer.

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/party?iso=20160713T1530&p0=410&msg=Boss+event&font=cursive

I'll be hosting the event solo as Starii will be starting her new job.

We'll be auctioning off some abandoned storage lockers on July 11th @5PM (Click the image for a countdown to the event)

Each locker will come with random assorted items, some come with pokemon and some come with legendary pokemon. It's all a matter of luck.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be talking to management to find out who thought it was an ok thing to allow people to store pokemon in a locker...

I'm proud to announce that the Ark PVP Server is officially launched after weeks of hard work...

To join the server, view this topic: Click Here

This server will be reset monthly, roughly on the first of every month. With this server launched, I will begin working on my base and taking over the PVP Server on the PVE server.

Can't wait to kill see you all ingame!

I snapped my computer arm chair, so I currently have no back to my chair. I can't afford to buy an entire new one, so I did the next best thing.

Went to walmart at 1am and bought some jb weld.

It sets in 4~ hours but I need 15-20 hours for it to completely cure before it can be used again. Because of this, I will only be at my pc to do emergency fixes.

Heres to hoping the jbweld holds!

[These are just my initial thoughts on the points raised in the topic, after I have a full discussion with Towelie my thoughts are likely to change.]

This Saturday me and @Towelie will be going over the complaints we received in the Topic we posted here I just thought I'd give you guys a little more information on what we're planning.

Current list of issues sorted randomly:

• Staff ignoring players in chat when they are asked questions
• Event hosts not doing events/lack of things to do
• Low pokemon spawn rates
• New players confused on how to play - not sure where to go to get help
• Overhauling the minigame plugins. Such as mob arena and Paintball.
• Our plans for the Pixelmon mod itself being updated.
• Lack of resources & buildable land
• Look into fixing MCMMO (talking to the dev, highly unlikely to receive support for an older version)

1 - We will most likely host a meeting and discuss this, just remember staff members are volunteers and want to enjoy the game just as much as you. It's not always possible for them to get to you right away or they might have just simply missed the message.
2 - @djkirsh said she was going to work on this, me and Towelie will be working on some fun minigame plugins as well. I'll also be working on a creative world where we can do some awesome build comps
3 - I don't really think the spawn rate is low. Any higher the server lags unbelievably bad. Currently with ~10 players online there are 1500+ pokemon on the map. If you're talking about the legendary rate, I will consider increasing their rate just a little.
4 - The current help system (in my opinion) looks pretty well done. Maybe a bit needs to be updated, I'll look at that. Please tell us what you think
5 - As mentioned in #2, we're going to look at plugins and try to get them fixed/updated.
6 - Unfortunately our hands are tied here. As if the server wrapper changing (causing us to lose all of our plugins) wasnt bad enough, pix devs are actively adding code to their mod to prevent it from loading on Technic. Theres just currently no feasible way for us to update past 3.5.1 right now.
7 - If you've looked at the dynmap, the worlds are honestly not in that bad of condition. There are lots of free space, never the less a world reset is in the works.
8 - We're going to try and talk to the dev and see what we can do.

These are just my initial thoughts on the points raised in the topic, after I have a full discussion with Towelie my thoughts are likely to change.

Hey guys,

I know I've been quiet about the ark server but I can assure you - its because i've been insanely busy setting it up. Together me and star have logged 160+ hours studying Ark so we have an understanding of how this game works. I think we're pretty set on the mods we will be using, heres a list of what we're using:

(Click here to view mods)

I am currently working on the level cap for players & dinos, the xp rates, the difficulty settings and backend stuff. I am trying to streamline mod updates, as it stands currently I have to update on my pc then upload them to the server. Which that translates into 15-30m of server downtime each time the mods need to be updated. So it's a learning process, if you have any suggestions for the mods I have in that document, feel free to comment as well.

Also if you're in our steam group I'll be hosting testing events on there every so often so  keep an eye out!

And now this is all I can think of.

Wasn't even a good model, just a stock head unit for a 99 Jeep GC infinity system:(

Thanks for the likes guys, sorry I didnt post yesterday -- I didn't realize I planned this on my moms birthday. So if your name is above, please list which server you would like your prize on and I'll deliver as I see your responses. If you don't post within 72hrs, your prize will be forfeited.

Was messing around with a few plugins and found a way to do this without needing bungee, but before I invest any time into it, would you use it? I was thinking it would be fun for messing around with builds as well as hosting building events.

Random Item server reward

This currently costs 2 rewards points and will give you a random item ingame with an exclusion to end-game items (ie auto-turrets, C4, quarries and so on) weapons, tools, traps

Unfortunately, this seems to break if you have members of your clan online, as if a clanmember is online it will think you are both the same person, charge for the purchase and not deliver the items. I'll have to look into this further to make sure it works.

How do I get Server Reward Points?

You get 1 reward point for every hour you play on the server

How do I use the Reward Shop?

Type /s ingame to open the GUI, there will be 3 tabs "Kits" "Items" and "Commands" currently there is only one for "items" to purchase the BP Page, click the "Cost:3" button

And that's all, I'm still learning how to run rust servers so if you see any issues (such as item stack sizes) feel free to post here and I'll take a look.

Click for survey

If you could change anything on the server, or add anything - even remove (mods etc) please post here and I'll look over the list.

If you don't play on the server, why not? What would it take to change that?

It's come to my attention that recently a few Premium rank holders were upset and confused on what their ranks came with. The rank never intentionally came with /fly, Chestshop or IV/EV/Hiddenpower. If you look at the preview of what the rank comes with on the Premium shop, it lists the following:

Master
Legendary
Supporter

None of the ranks claim to have these permissions, the only reason you guys had access to these permissions for the period of time was because the Champion rank was improperly added with a bad inheritance, so all Premium ranks inherited Elite1, Elite2, Elite3, Elite4 and Champion. As soon as my schedule clears up I will be taking a look at the ranks and figuring out any way to improve the permissions each rank comes with.

While I would love to make everything cheap and free, please remember we have monthly advertising & server hosting fees to pay. I can't just give everything away like that, if I did - we would not have a server for very long.

I've finally got solder straightened out and got shaders back online.

If you don't know how to enable shaders, be sure to read the guide here Click

Me and @Stariieyed decided to compete against each other in Pokemon. The games we will be playing are Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, we will each post a topic in Pixelmon General Discussions including our current game info (Party/total caught pokemon/badge etc)

You guys can pick a side as to who you think will win when we battle after completing the game, the loser (and winner) will host a party on the Pixelmon server where we can have fun.

In the topic, you can offer advice on which pokemon to train/go for or anything else.


Team Threads:

I'm sitting here hungry and came up with this idea. I think it will be interesting to see what people around the world eat and how it may vary from place to place. So if you have food, take a picture and give a little back story as to what it is. I'd love it if it was home cooked by you or someone else but any food is welcome.

Rules -

No posts without a picture and explanation unless you are discussing someone's food post. I encourage you guys to communicate about others food so maybe we can try new foods.

Bonus points if you include recipes

Getting closer...

I've been testing a few new mods for Pixelmon and majority of them require the client to have 2GB of ram allocated to the modpack in order to run efficiently and I was curious about what you guys have, so if you play on pixelmon (Actively or every now and then) please take a few seconds to vote.

I'd like to work on adding a new rank to Pixelmon, it will not quite be a staff rank but will be a rank where you are required to help players if you wish to hold the rank.

The rank will have special permissions such as:

• Ability to TP to players
• Ability to /talk
• Ability to warp players to warps (help areas/spawn etc)
• More to come as I think of them

It should go without saying, but anything abused by obtaining this rank will result in a demotion and ban from ever obtaining a special rank in the future.

To get this rank you just need to pass a test, know how to claim your own region and be able to teach players to claim their own.

What are your opinions on this, would you be interested in such a rank?

Clicky

Interested in hearing your theories

• Forge updated to version 1403
• Fixed shader version, you can now use it to connect to the server
• Updated shader mod to 2.3.31
• Added Chocapic13 shaders (very nice shaders, check them out!)
• Removed Slidurs shaders (They were ugly IMO)
• Fixed support for java 1.7
• Updated optifine to HD_U_B8 (Supposedly up to 30%+ increase in fps)

[/csn help]

I've updated mcMMO to the latest version, currently the database is converting to UUID's so mcMMO will be disabled until the DB is fully converted. I'm not sure how long this will take but its doing 200 conversions every ~5 seconds and we have over 100K users to convert. I'm not sure what changed in this update but the biggest thing is now it supports UUID's so you will not lose your progress if you change your name.
UPDATE: Database has finished converting and mcmmo should work now.

I've also added ChestshopNotifier which will alert you of any items you've sold or bought at your chestshops while you were offline. I figure this will help autoshop owners run their shops more efficiently. For help using this plugin just type /csn help

Phase 1 changelog:

• Added 5% tax to /money pay
• Added 5% tax to autoshops
• Removed users from /money top who have not been on in ~3 months (If you come back from inactivity, just post a support ticket and your balance will be returned)
• Changed starting balance from 30 to 500
• In other news I deleted 10k+ warps in world_old

Stay tuned for Phase 2 of reviving the economy!
