SRL Archive - News and General

Hello there.

I am looking for an experienced admin for a Minecraft server for the villavu community. The last MC server lasted only for a month, lets try if we can reach two months now. :)
No seriously, there will be other games running on the server besides MC, so I need a little help with this part. There will be 48 GB of RAM and a decent CPU reserved only for MC. If the server gets crowded, I can take another 8 GB from 2 other FPS games.

The admin will get full admin rights and eventually FTP access to the MC partition. He should be experienced with MC in general, not only with pre-made tools/interfaces, but with "building a server" from scratch.

If you are interested, pm me or post here.

Greets, Gala

I'll be willing to help out (Holidays start tomorrow and I wanted to get back into MC), hit me up with a PM if you need any assistance :)

Cool, I will contact you when I get some news. :santa:

I would love to play if….

• admin rights are not given out to random people
• there is building protection to prevent griefing
• players do not use cheat clients

Can I also suggest using a Bukkit server to enable the use of plugins ect?

Admin rights will be given to trusted persons who know what they do.
Last time we had a greylist, where you had to register first. After that, the player can obtain a certain area to build on. As far as I remember you can give to rights to build on this area to your mates. I think the plugin was called Worldprotect or something like that.
Cheats won't be allowed and punished by the admin.
The logging on the server will be very high, since the server got enough power for that. In the worst case, we are able to return to a state before something happened. (Griefs..)
The whole server is on RAID 1 for some extra security.

Whatever you say, admin.
Last time we had also bukkit I think.

Will there be a specific mod or will it be vanilla MC?

With that much RAM available I would DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT put the entire server on Ramdisk…seriously it is a must do. Besides the fact that your server will probably not even touch 4 GB of ram usage @ like 40+ players on (your I/O will however skyrocket hence the ramdisk)(especially if players are able to fly)(like…flying = x10 I/O usage)(which wouldn't be a problem at all if on Ramdisk)
EDIT: also, you'd probably only need to dedicate like 1 GB to the server for the ramdisk

The problem with using a RAM disk is IF the server was to crash (dedicated server) we would lose the world

Don't know yet, what would you prefer and why?

Nice idea I will look this up. The problem is, there will be an apache server, a mail server, at least 1 phpmyadmin instance, a 40 Slot DayZ Server and a 32 Slot Bfbc2 Server. I am not sure about the RAM usage, but with 64GB total ramdisk would be possible.
As Justin said, a crash would be horrible, but I think there are possibilities to backup every x sec/min.

Oh and btw, the storage is SSD, chances are this will be sufficient speed wise.

Uhh… I shouldn't pick the flavor, as I've only played Feed The Beast (and not even Vanilla) and a couple other Tekkit based mods, however I did enjoy those thoroughly.

I also heard of Pixelmon, however I have the feeling I'd only be enjoying that for a couple days before it would lose its splendor (although I suppose I could be wrong).

I don't know it, but if there is demand I could also run a Tekkit Server on the same time.

^ last time (justin's server), cheat clients were used :(
Would also prefere it if it was a cracked server (so that people who don't own the game can play)

What kind of cheats?
Last time we blocked flying and some obvious cheats, not sure if you can completely keep cheaters out. Anti-cheat and anti-grief has priority ofc.
The server will be greylisted, anyone can join and /register their name.

Wall climbing, hitting more than one block at a time, xray stuff (though ik it can always be done with skins)

I think those things can be blocked except the x-ray stuff.

As far as it goes, Justin is great for running servers etc, helped me get mine up and running and taught me the technical aspect which to be fair taught me about the linux OS aswell.

As for Minecraft itself I wouldn't mind nominating myself for something (Not admin) but if there was ever another role. Been playing since 2009? Had public servers before which has 20+ players, Was too poor to run so I stopped (Should of asked for donations haha). I do let's builds on Youtube, I know the game pretty well. To be honest I used to play it everyday but recently it's like once a week

Help is always welcome. The server will be running windows server, not linux. (Hate incoming) It is not that I don't like it, I would use Debian without hesitation, but unfortunately there are some apps/games runnig only on WS.

State: My provider isn't santa, so I have to wait after christmas for the server.

Edit: If the server is running in the "final form", a lets build would be cool!

How many IP's does the server have?

Ordered with one ip. But for multiple servers one can use different ports if that is what you mean.

Ah ok, SSD will work great. (Also Justin just have it auto-backup every 10 minutes or so)

Will get the server between 3.01 and 6.01

Update: Should arrive today or tomorrow :/

Update: Server is here and I am installing/testing plugins. Should be online today. If someone wants to help me build the spawn in creative mode, help is appreciated :)

Update:
Sry for triple post, but the server is on.
