How robust will the towns plugin be?

Are we going to have a lot of control over the layout of our towns or are we going to be confined to a grid?

Will we be able to layer parts of the town vertically, or will people have to lay their towns out in such a way that houses are not able to overlap?

The town plugin is grid-based. However, you will have full control over who lives in your town, how much they get, etc.
Also, as the mayor, when you are online you get a comission of what the other players are doing in your town (mining/selling stuff at autoshops for now).

If you're just going to complain about "staff insulting people" without including any proof won't lead to anything. PM me screenshots if you got them, and I'll deal with them.

My guess on the secret new minecraft server is Towelie's Derpy Modpack. It could be something completely different. Who knows?

Nope. Wait and see, don't wanna give details.

So, I'd like to list a few projects that we are working on (either Me/Dpa or the Developers):

- A new server (confidential at this time as it's too early to announce it. It's minecraft)
- Towns plugin (Colesy has implemented almost all of the big features, he still has some to implement and the plugin needs testing. I'd say it's in alpha. Don't expect it to happen in a few days, but it will happen).
- World2 Reset - We are waiting for 1.8 for that one. I know we said it would be reset in May, but that's when we thought 1.8 would be released. And for the reset, we need 1.8 because we need all the new chunk generation mechanics.
- A minigame server. stuart is working on this one, he can choose whether to give details or not. It's something new and original, not done by any other server to my knowledge
- Cookie Clicker update including trophy case and some competitive minigames (blackjack for cookies everyone?). Stuart can give an estimate release date for taht
- Dpa has started building Circletown v2. Not 100% what we're gonna do with that but a lot of people were nostalgic about it.
- Pixelmon updating to 1.7.2 and adding a new world (Rather than world reset).
- B-Team full reset (copen can give details about that)
- A TeamSpeak 3 server. Excon is setting it up and he's been pretty much begging me to look at it but I haven't had time lately. I'll try to one of these days though
- Miricx is working on a secret project too. It's a classic MMORPG server (And when i say classic i mean pixel art, 2d, and all that kind of stuff). He can give details if he wishes

Hope I didn't forget anything so yeah, there you go, we aren't inactive, we are still doing plenty of stuff, it just takes time and patience xD

+1 for the title hahaha

The new radio system is better than the SFT radio in every single way, stop being a jerk about it.  When the SFT radio was introduced again, I tried it a few time, but it sounded bad, iffy chat, has Ads, stuck listening to what the DJ wanted, and worst of all, it was never on.  I offered to be DJ so it would have more playing time and you told me none were needed at this time.  If your SFT radio concept was supposed to be like the new one, it failed.

This radio has fun written all over it.  The avatars, the chat, the ability to have the community play and skip music, no ads, great sound, and the videos are backed off of YouTube!  The interactive system of the new radio is what makes it so cool.

What is the advantage of the sft radio vs. this new one?  The old radio was a nice homebrew try at something, but the new one was made for this and it does it well.

because i made the radio and it's official, and who the fuck are you to mind my business

it doesnt matter if this one's better, he cant just fucking come and take my idea and make it his own and then call it official and steal my listeners

it would be the exact same if i opened up a server and advertised it here

The PlugDJ page is official too.
How about we stop all this pointless bitching about who gets to be official and who doesn't.
Continue with SFT Radio if you want, or don't if you don't.
But this is getting to be ridiculous.

ive been working on making the radio fun and creative for the whole fucking community for 2 whole years, do you think it's fair for someone to replace that?

if an absolutely non-custom radio page that takes a couple of minutes to setup is all it takes for people to be happy, then i could just might aswell fuckin give up with all my projects

I don't understand all this rage and negativity.

Soooo,

I love music. I have been on the new plug in for about 10min, and I have to say, its simply amazing.  Being able to let ANYONE DJ and not just a few people is a great idea too, and the variety is nice.

+1 to Karkafi and who ever else had this great idea.  What are the draw backs?  Are there ADs at some point or a play limit?

I'm a fan.

Glad you like it bud

No, there's no ads, unless they come from youtube (which can be stopped with Adblock) and no play limit. We've been going  going for 12 hours straight now (Not sure if I should be proud about that or not).

Only thing is, when there's no managers to monitor the channel, the waitlist will be locked, which means only DJ's can play music (I will do an "Apply for DJ" post soon).

So it's basically going to turn into another SFT Radio? I thought the point of this was "eveyone is a dj!". I use neither, but from someone on the outside, it seems like this is turning into another SFT Radio.

The reason for this very simple room is that we don't want people playing offensive songs. However, there is a manager around almost always and otherwise there will be residential dj's - people that can play even when the list is closed (trustworthy players)

I'll allow it. I like this as well as the radio.

Yo, I can help out! last time, you where interested in my work for SFT,
but said I needed some more improvement.
Well, that's all I do now. So hmuu doey.

Maybe you already have - I haven't looked - but I think the only way your going to find such a specific set of talents is by posting on the bukkit forums themselves.

Done that.

Tow, Did you need anymore info on my post?

Like i said, we are looking for java devs with knowledge of the bukkit api.

I put in my offer to help but was turned down.

If you are wanting an expert in Bukkit from this community I doubt you will find one.

Pretty much the feeling from you guys I get is the same I get from a lot of job recruiters. If you don't work in the language or a specific framework everyday then you are not going to be a good fit for this position. For those few recruiters that actually look past that and realize that programming is more about constantly learning instead of thinking that one person has supreme knowledge over a certain language they have gotten me 3 job offers in the past 6 months for languages and frameworks I don't work in everyday.

Well for what we need, knowledge of the bukkit api is paramount. You have an impressive resume though.

thx Tow, but why higer chance of fail?

Because better items

SteveCo Crate #11 was added to survival.
It contains diablo 3 themed items, the chances are a bit lower than usual (higher chance of getting a fail prize).
The chest consists from a legendary armor set and an epic axe.

Cleaned posts that weren't applications, edited the first post a bit

Yeah that's not gonna work, we need people with extensive bukkit knowledge.
Thank you very much for applying though

We are looking for developers for an up-coming project.
We are interested in java and php developers. The java developers should have extensive bukkit knowledge.
If you are chosen, you will have to work as a team, with our current developers.
This will be a paid project. We are only interested in established developers, that have worked in the past or are working for a company and know java/php to perfection.
Please do not apply if you don't master java or php because otherwise we are not interested.
This will be a big project and hearing "I don't know how to do this" will not work for us.
If you are interested, you will have to prove your skills by showing us your portfolio or doing a project of our choosing pro bono before becoming a developer for sft. Details of the project will only be discussed after we choose you.

It still doesn't solve the problem of duped money, items, and pokemon. A full reset would still be much better but if it means losing to much of the player base I guess this will have to do, people just can't seem to get over the idea of giving up what they have currently for the better good of the server in the future.

We have a full list of those that used the duping glitch (obtained via logs). Prior to having a second world added we will clear all the effects of the dupes, including pokemon grown by duped candy.

Skipping over the fact that he has serious mental problems, why the actual fuck would a guy so mentally disturbed get access to a gun is beside me.
If there was ever a time for change, that time is now. Change gun regulations, impose stricter backgruond checks / psychological testing at the time of a weapon purchase and then yearly.
People should have the right to bear arms, but with a strict control.

Until America fixes that,  prepare to deal with such pointless, mindless shootings several times / year.

Nope, like I said, following days.
But you can play it in Single Player for now.

Nope, we can't add these to survival, not without having to need a custom client.
I will try to make a server soon (atm i am having a problem with the modpack - trying to host a server with it leads to many crashes but I will ask dpa for help.

I too have decided to make a modpack. This modpack will run Minecraft 1.7.2 and will focus on providing a Survival Experience, enhanced with more mobs, more weapons, more everything and also Bibliocraft so you can decorate your homes and make them pretty.

You can grab the modpack from here: http://www.technicpack.net/modpack/details/towelies-derpy-modpack.362466
Please +1 if you like it!

I have not yet made a server, but I am working at that right now so hopefully, soon there will be a server.
Give me your feedback on how you think the mod should be improved (but keep in mind that this is running on minecraft 1.7.2 so not all mods work yet with 1.7.2)
You can find a list of mods in the modpack link, above.

PS: Come to the dark side, we have doge!

There might be an website outage for certain parts of the world as Cloudflare (our CDN) is experiencing major problems in Eastern Europe. Since our server is based in Eastern Europe, that means that cloudflare cannot pull content from our server and cannot serve it to certain countries, while in others, it will work normally.
We apologize but it's not up to us, knowing that Cloudflare is a huge company serving not only small websites but IT giants as well, I would expect it to be fixed soon.
Meanwhile, use our twitter @SFTMedia to keep in touch
