Pixelmon - 1.8 status

[Dpa1991]

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.

Hmmm, I think its currently a very bad idea to split our playerbase. Thankf for the hard work tho!

[TheOfficialMiner]

Can't wait to see this up and running. Thank you for all your hard work!

And its a better idea to sit and stagnate on a server with no hope of an update?

Sounds amazing thanks for all your hard work. Looking forward to getting to see and play it.

Great job!

[Dpa1991]

And now I have a client setup to go further test the plugins... Not happy with some of the changes, permisisons is kinda wonky atm and I can't seem to get money, autorank or autobroadcaster to work

[SnipeMasterShark]

If it does work I think it will be the push we need to get back on top. A lot of the older players who quit for whatever reason will come back, and I bet a lot of new players will come as well.

The splitting of the playerbase is the risk associated with this investment. I personally think the reward is much worth the risk and won't cause much of a problem.


SFT Pixelmon is just using a turn to Double Team. We will see if its super effective.


Go DPA!

I think that overall, this is a good idea. Sure, it'll split the playerbase, but the risk is worth it for the idea that it will likely bring back old players, and bring in a lot of new players. Hopefully dappa can fix up the plugins and we can be on our way to an alright up-to-date pixelmon server that waayy too many people want. xd

Looking forward to see this running, props to your hard work.

I like 1.7.10 better 1.8 kinda sucks

[BioPh33r]

You do know that 1.8 Pixelmon has alot more in it than just the new 1.8 blocks right SuperJK

If all of the kinks get worked out, it sounds like it will be amazing. Many people have been asking when/if there will be a server update, and I think they will be quite pleased with this. Thanks so so much for all of your hard work.

I think this will be a great step forward for sft. Thank you for all your hard work.

I hope you can get everything working the way you want without to many issues. I wish you the best of luck.

would it be possible to move existing players money/pokes to the new server? some people paid irl money for some of their pokes and wouldn't wanna lose them

No, their stuff will remain on the 1.7 server and they won't lose them

No, their stuff will remain on the 1.7 server and they won't lose them

what if (and idk your long term plan here) you decide to remove the 1.7 server in favor of the 1.8 one what would happen then to our stuff on 1.7?

If that was to happen that would mean the 1.7server is completely dead with no players at all

[xQuicScopex]

oh ok I thought the 1.8 server you are making now was going to replace it

sorry for the misunderstanding

[Dpa1991]

Pixelmon 1.8 isn't looking that great right now. The mods aren't fully developed but I'm still working on them.

Is Pixelmon in this pack or would it be a w3 situation?

[bobmarley528]

if we bought something one the server now could we carry it over to the new server? @Dpa1991
