Freeman’s Mind is back: Episode 45

Not sure how many of you keep up with Freeman’s Mind.

Ross has finally left Machinima.com and has now posted episode 45. It has been a long time since the last one, so it is good to see that he is still working on it.

DayZ Hoster Move

dayZYouareDead_300

Due to some issues with the current hoster, Crazy will be moving the DayZ server to a new hoster at the end of the month. If you join the server now your camp that you setup will be lost at the end of the month. All gear on your person should be fine since the server is a Public Hive, all equipped items are stored on the hive.

 

The previous hoster had a hard drive failure and lost the servers Instance ID, therefore loosing all the data and work that players had done on the server.

 

The new hoster does allow more customization and will be a public hive as well.

New connection info will be posted on the Server Section and the Forums when we have it.

MC Server – Upgrades and Downgrades

Good News:

I have updated the Minecraft server to Bukkit Beta 1.5.1-R0.1

I have also updated all the plugins to the current version.

 

Bad News:

I have downgraded the server from a 50 slot server to a 20 slot server. This also reduces the ram available to the server from 2GB to 1GB. I do not see this affecting the server much if at all, especially with the low traffic the server has been seeing. If the server starts to get busy again I will upgrade it.

So far the Donation drive is still on to keep the servers running. As of now they will still be cutting one day of work for 22 weeks starting next month.

Minecraft 1.5 Release

Tomorrow Minecraft 1.5 will be released. Keep in mind that the server will not be updating as usuall untill there is a good build available for Bukkit and the main core plugins that we use.

We will keep a eye on the dev cycle for Bukkit and related plugins and will be testing everything on the Dev server to make sure that everything is stable.

When we upgrade to 1.5 we will be generating a new Nether to make the new resources available. So please move all items you wish to keep that you have in the current Nether.

Patch Notes so far:

  • Added Redstone Comparator (used in Redstone logic)
  • Added Hopper (collects items and moves them to containers)
  • Added Dropper (similar to Dispensers, but always drops the item)
  • Added Activator Rail (activates TNT Minecarts)
  • Added Daylight Sensor
  • Added Trapped Chest
  • Added Weighed Pressure Plate
  • Added Block of Redstone
  • Added Nether Brick (item)
  • Added Nether Quartz and ore
  • Added Block of Quartz, with half blocks and chiseled variants
  • New command: /scoreboard
  • New command: /effect
  • Containers and mobs can have custom names
  • Inventory management has been changed, for example you can drag-place items over slots
  • Texture packs now have separate images for each block and item, and can have animations
  • Nether Quartz Ore now spawns in the Nether
  • Smooth lighting now has three settings (none, minimal, maximum)
  • More detailed death messages
  • Some hostile mobs now are harder in Hard difficulty
  • Many, many, bug fixes
  • Removed Herobrine

Sequestration, Donations, and the Servers

I am sure everyone has heard about the budget issues with the government, and I know allot of people think that this will have no impact on their lives. Well, for everyone who plays on any of the TBU servers that I pay for (this is pretty much all of them but the DayZ server) this could mean the servers may have to go down for a while.

The sequestration will be affecting me, I will be taking a 20% pay cut from April to September. This means I may not be able to afford keeping the servers running. While I enjoy providing the free of charge servers for everyone, bills and such must come first.

So, for the first time, I am asking people to try and donate. If I get enough in donations to keep the servers running, I will do so. If not I may be forced to bring the servers down.

Also, keep in mind, this is all due to the budget issues. Issues that many think will not harm or affect “regular” people. The truth to it all is that the first and main people that government budget issue will affect are regular everyday people, middle class people, people like myself. The unfortunate fact is that the ones that everyone pictures that will be affected, people high up in Washington, will be the last to be affected.

 

EDIT: Possible “light” at the end of the tunnel. The furlough (one day without pay a week for 22 weeks) may not happen. There is talk of extending the current pay freeze another year. Basically for I think the 3rd year in a row gov employees will not get their 0.5% pay raise.

If this happens I will be able to continue paying fo rthe servers, but will still apreciate any donations if anyone still wishes to help
