You should try out the lighting mod. It's really amazing. Though, it is a bit of a system hog! I'm playing at no more than 20fps now!

For the stupid people (i.e. me) can someone please explain what we will be left with after the server reset ?

Can I assume that it will be a completely new map with none of the player made structures remaining ? Starting from scratch, all items gone also?

What date will the reset take place ...

Yes you are correct. A new map will be generated and the current map will be made available to download so that you can play it on singleplayer.
As for the time frame. 1.3 is to be released on 1st August so the new map will be online 2-4 weeks after that. It all depends on when the plugins we use are updated.

So we will still be playing on the old map until August 1st + 2/4 weeks

With 1.3, it appears servers can have an "official" texture pack.

Servers can automatically suggest and distribute texture packs.

Would ye bother with doing this for the Boards server?

Maybe, certainly something to think about.

AirBiscuit · 26-07-2012 10:19pm

Suggest away, but hold off on the distributing them if it does it automatically

Bad idea. If people want texture packs they'll get them themselves.

Completionist · 27-07-2012 2:58am

The only reason I can think of for that feature to be present is when specific textures are needed on a server, For example if a server is running a medieval theme then they can suggest the optimal texture pack for use with that theme rather than having players running around with random themed packs because they don't know what's best.

As Boards is not going with a specific theme(afaik) there is no need to suggest a texture pack, As it will just complicate things for the less experienced players who don't know better.

There is nothing wrong with boards recommending a texture pack , you'll be given a choice if you want to install it or not the first time you log in. Hardly confusing

I have to explain simple things like dragging to inexperienced computer users on a daily basis, I have long since accepted that to some computers are rocket science.

So inexperienced user A logs into the boards server and sees that texture pack B is recommended, they wont go "ehh I don't need this" but rather "I better download it, The server told me to!". So now user A has a different texture pack that may not run on their computer not because they choose to, but rather because they didn't know any better.

If people play multiplayer MC, they are expected to know some stuff, i.e they know how to buy/play the game , add for a whitelist and input the IP Address.

If they can do all that, then surly they can decide if they want the server texture pack.Even if they were completely inexperienced , all they have to do is ask someone for help.

You're thinking far too much about it

Surely if they go down the road of downloading that texture pack and it doesn't work they'll be able to go into the texture pack menu and switch back to vanilla.

Completionist · 27-07-2012 4:45pm

Sorry, But I argue about anything:P

I know it is a trivial issue and not something even worth arguing about but I prefer the simple solutions.

No two people will agree on a texture pack, Everyone has preferences and in the end everyone will either have been already using the recommended pack or will have their own preference and ignore what was recommended.

Once again, Trivial issue and not worth arguing about but still the feature is pointless on the Boards server.

tiptopgolfy · 27-07-2012 4:56pm

How about pure BDcraft for a texture pack?

Is there a particular time that the Boards server is busy/people are on? Most of the time I go to play multiplayer it seems kinda dead and so I go elsewhere.

There's an update to minecraft coming out soon, and once that comes out (and the plugins we use are updated) we'll be resetting the world and starting again.
This won't be for a few weeks though, but once people hear about a reset it generally dies down a little on the server.

Regular crowd are over on the Boards Tekkit Server until the reset. You should come over

Just letting people know I'll be downloading the map tonight, so that will be its final state. If you want to make any last minute changes do so today.

Added, but just to let you know there will be a full server reset when 1.3 comes out.

Kenno90 · 01-08-2012 9:43am

It was a good map all right, have you guys decided on the new map.

Is it going to be randomly generated or will it be the island idea ?

Dale Parish · 01-08-2012 9:57am

Can we have a mess around on the sever when this new version supposedly comes out today?
