We're Alive Minecraft server OPEN TO ALL WHITELIST ENABLED" on the 7th

[Solanine]

Well my pick and shovel are at your service.

[random_highjinx]

Mine too, I'd love to help build if you need people! That's my favorite part. :D

[daredevil]

A Tower can not be built by a single man.

He needs allies, people to build with him.

When the time is right I will light the signal and we shall plan and build The Tower, together!

W.T.F? Anyway, I don't mind doing some cake making/ breeding/ general resource gathering while you guys build. Unless its going to be creative while we build the tower?

Don't ask... I'm not sure...

If we're trying to be quick about it, creative would be the best way to go. I'm a little concerned about the skycap myself (Which I belieeeeve is 120?). Are we going to be clearing ground for a site or are you (Dare) searching for a low flat plain? If all 3 of us are working on it, we could probably clear a suitable size level in a good time? Though we might still need to kidnap animals lol.

Creative. Also, I have a flat plane, I had one before 1.1 but 1.1 made a better one. We will have plenty of room anyway.

[random_highjinx]

Sounds good.

[daredevil]

Sounds good.

Also, I saw the mess of the landscape the previous map was because they didn't have Creative and had to mine everything. When I went on the server while it was operational.... I almost couldn't find a way to the entrance.

I never got to see it myself, but I read someone got into the TNT. Not good.

I might put it up for a little while, They fixed the TNT damage but even before that... There were giant holes everywhere.

Oh, jeez. Perhaps that should be part of the rules. Not digging in the ground around the Tower or building unrealistically near it. >__> Hmmm... you might need a set of more defined rules.

*Edit* I'm tempted to say we should build the major walls out of obsidian... but it is SO dark.

*Edit #2*

I was thinking about the rules and swept through the rule blurb at the beginning of this thread and some other servers rules and put together these. (NOT saying I'm an admin, just trying to be helpful.)

Here are a set of rules that are not hard to follow and should be common sense. But since the last server had issues, it is better to be safe than sorry. Please read the following rules and abide:

1. Do Not Grief.
Griefing: V. Intentionally causing discomfort in other players. Our focus is harassment & destruction of property. Destruction includes intentional damage and accidents. If you accidentally knock a hole through a wall, please put it back the way it was. If you lack the necessary materials please notify someone so that it can be repaired. (Creeper damage counts as griefing if you leave it unrepaired. If they were chasing you, it is your responsibility to fix the damage.)

Bottom line: Treat others things the way you would want yours to be treated. We want the game to be fun for everyone and the admins do not need to be spending all of their game time cleaning up after and banning jerks.
(Also, if you are being griefed please report it to an admin.)

2. Do Not Trespass.
Every player will have an apartment. These apartments should be marked with a sign outside the door stating occupants name. If the room has a name on it you should not enter unless invited or asked.

Bottom Line: If it is not your room, stay out of it. Admins reserve the right to search your rooms/chests if something goes missing.

3. Do Not Steal.
If a storage chest is in a room belonging to someone, stay out of it. There will be community chests with materials people may use if they would like to.

Bottom line: If it is not your chest or a community chest. Stay out. If it does not belong to you or given to you. Do not touch it. Very simple.

4. Do Not Alter The Tower Or The Land Around It.
The tower is built to represent the We’re Alive Tower. The Tower does not have anything we do not put into it (like a roller coaster or a giant water fountain). Therefore, you should not take the liberty of installing one. If you want to express your creative energy, please go build something epic away from The Tower.

Bottom Line: Any structural changes will be made by Admins. No one else. This will also be considered Griefing if you do it. TNT is NOT allowed to be used inside/around the tower. If you destroy The Tower with TNT you risk consequence.

5. Chat Behavior.
Profanity is tolerated, abuse or harassment is not. Do not spam unnecessarily.


*Feel free to modify/add to these how you see fit*

I find it funny how the first rules people think of have "Do not add a water fountain" and there was a water fountain in the lobby of the last one :D

There won't be in this one.

[random_highjinx]

Yeah, I think TNT might be the bigger issue though o__o; people just can't seem to help themselves.

TnT shouldn't be an issue.

I hope not.

Also, on a side note. I had no idea you were in Australia. That makes WAY more sense knowing you're in/close too my relative time zone. Here I thought you were just extremely nocturnal or something.

Well, a bit of both........ :D

[random_highjinx]

Well, a bit of both........ :D

I'm not that surprised.

To backtrack a bit, I'm thinking maybe obsidian isn't that bad of an idea. It stands up to creeper attacks and stuff, maybe if we make the ground/ceiling layers (same thing kinda) of lighter stone and use a lot of lights it won't be so bad?

I vote stone, BUT we could make a sandwich, Stone obsidian stone? light on the inside but still with structural integrity. Might alter plans though.
Also, if we play creative what will we do about Zombie's etc. No fun if they can't kill you. Or is there a way we could swap to survival for sim battles? With spawn eggs it'll be a lot easier to create the size of Z armies we will need.

Creative construction then Survival only.

Creeper explosions will not be an issue.

Stone is more realistic.

[random_highjinx]

No creepers then?

Originally, if you look at the 3D construction of the plan I did, I mainly used fine stone and the stone bricks to create the look of the tower. So I have no problem with it :) it was just a thought.

I suggested something more indestructible as a counter to player stupidity. But maybe it won't be an issue.

Lol ok. Any idea when building will begin?

As soon as I figure out how to add a couple of lines of coding into SMF

[random_highjinx]

Got it :)

[Solanine]

Ok, I guess but will individuals have the right to adapt their room in the way they see fit (I'm paranoid so I'd sacrifice space and a diamond pick to put a layer of obsidian inside my room. Also I was playing some multiplayer yesterday and some servers are allowing users to make blocks private (so only them and admins could alter it) not sure where to get the mod but its a thought. People are not always trust worthy. It could be done too the blocks around the tower and some blocks in the tower by admins if necessary.

That was always the case.

People can do whatever they want inside their own room.

The Tower will be protected.

Well, I'm sure it's fine to adapt your room so long as it's contained inside the room. But if players want that extra protection, why not just go that way in the first place I guess? The rooms aren't THAT big. But I'm kind of wishing I'd put in space for an extra layer on the floor now so that people could use wool to make colored carpet or something. But it would make the building just that much taller and make the outside probably look disproportionate.

Here is what I came up with for floor plans, if that helps any:

(Since I couldn't find the building that they used for the tower, I found one that looked similar and went from there.)

Looks good, but only 4 rooms per floor?

[random_highjinx]

14 floors - 2 for lobby and store floor leaves 48 rooms. I don't know if we'll need even half of those lol

I thought about making it bigger but it's just so big already.

Looks good currently. 4 rooms will do. I will need to make some modifications to the top floor, the roof and the 2nd floor.

[random_highjinx]

Yeah, they'll need to be turned into stores. The top floor is supposed to be a penthouse. And the roof will need to be a little thicker to hold dirt and water.

There will be Riley's store, Burt's Armoury, Guard room, and that'll do.

[random_highjinx]

On the lobby floor, the first half of the building is the actual "lobby" behind the door that is behind the desk there are two empty storage rooms. I figure we could put a ton of community chests and craft tables in there.

Community items in back room.

All Tower items are going in Riley's Shop. Personal crafting tables and Personal chests in your own room. Crafting table in Lobby back area.

I hope not.... I don't want Rohan on my server..... :P


Also, CLEAR YOUR PM BOX.

[daredevil]

Ok guys, Serious time now.

We need plugins, Don't give me links to plugins, tell me what you want the plugin to do and I will find one, or if I can't find it I will make the plugin.

Everyone! Idea's.

[Solanine]

Im having problems with access. I've cleared my inbox so if you can pass on the message about whats going on.

[daredevil]

3 or 4 days until Server is opened to the Public!

[Solanine]

Any updates?c I'm afraid I haven't found any more appropriate plugins yet but I will continue to look

[daredevil]

Yeah, I've had the internal server stuff ready for about a week and a half now, but I've been waiting for some Fans to quieten the actual Machine down.


The fans arrived today.


They'll probably be installed tomorrow and then depending on the volume of those fans. You should have your server very soon.

Please people stop sending me your Usernames. The Auto whitelisting works, when I give you the web address just register there and then come play.

[daredevil]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

IT'S COMPLETELY READY!!!! THE FANS ARE QUIET, THE HARD DRIVES ARE UNPLUGGED BECAUSE I BROKE THE BIOS, THE SERVER IS LOVELY, GONNA INSTALL A 64 BIT OS IN A FEW MINUTES!!!!

Long post short, it's all good.

[daredevil]

TRIPLE DOUBLE POST.... Sorry.


SOLANINE CLEAR YOUR INBOX NOW.


ALSO THE SERVER IS UP, GO CHECK IT OUT.

[Gilbert]

How do we find the server?

[daredevil]

How do we find the server?

Sorry, I meant that it's up but it's only for admins currently. Few more days.

[daredevil]

Hmmm... I wonder if I should put the server address up now. Or wait... Anyone think I should put it up?

[Gilbert]

You should put it up now :yay:

[daredevil]

I need an accurate list of people that will be playing or are thinking about playing on the server. Everyone that is going to play post a message on this thread or PM me. This could be The Short List. So make sure you message me.

[Solanine]

I reckon we shuld just pull a valve and NEVER give them it.

[daredevil]

Maybe we should Never give them the hard drive I got to day, Never give them the 64-bit edition, Never give them the server....

Nah, I'm not that cruel.... mostly...

I'm installing the 64 bit now. Then it's up to final tweaks not done by me.

[ComicBookMax]

I would really like to join this Minecraft adventure.

[daredevil]

As would I.

[daredevil]

I'm gonna double post because I have no choice.... So, let's make it a decent double post.

This is a very important post. It decides some of the main stuff in the server so listen up and vote.

Should any tower member be able to ready anyone elses Journal (Logs) ?

More questions to come.

[itsallgoodie]

Yes.

[daredevil]

Ok, Server is FULLY READY HARDWARE WISE, anyone wanna do some final things to it before I pop the floodgates..... literally.

Second important decision.

Should we import a city map around the tower or just play as is.... also, does anyone know of any good city maps, I can't find any.

I reckon we should have a city map, the plain stone for miles is unattractive and makes getting lost easy.
Have you set the map up too generate a normal world around the tower yet? Will the tower be raised because
its only a few blocks from bedrock and too generate a normal world with caves the tower would have too be
situated in a DEEP valley.

There will be a city map, there will only be flat stone or grass depending on the area, no normal world. When 1.2 comes out yes the Tower will be raised however there will not be digging at all on that world... I found your tunnel. There will not be caves and stuff. The Tower could be on top of a mountain and still fit because of 1.2 which is coming out soon.

[Solanine]

Crap, that was my trump card for the possible war. Thats cool, although I liked the Idea of sending out teams to get resources from the outside world. Have you found a city map?

[daredevil]

Not a Modern Day one that's large enough, anyone know of one?

You know what's weird? Registering a domain and then finding out that .au URL's need to have a registered Australian Business. So, fast forward an hour or two and I'm now a registered Business Owner... still waiting on my Australian Business Number (ABN) Then we'll have the good domain name.

15 and I'm already a Business Owner and an Ordained Priest man..... among other things. :D

Don't know how I did that.....

[Solanine]

Ah well its better than being 15 and a convicted felon. This city map looks ok, not sure how you would get it though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEAUEnjqGCc&feature=related
Any where in particular we should be looking?

Google. Anyway I now have an appropriate map and I am in the process of Terraforming with MCedit. Once that is done I will add The Tower to it and we should be good.

[Solanine]

Brilliant. Have you got any idea of the numbers interested in the forum?

[daredevil]

Uhhhhhhh..... Pain...... Teeth......... Can't talk...... Can type however.

So yeah, I'm in pain. I had a tooth pulled not to long ago. I don't know exact numbers. I have heard from a few people but not many. Would love it if people could PM me if they want to be in the server.

[daredevil]

So 1.2.3 came out......... Yeah. Once the new Bukkit's RB is up, all the plugins are updated, I will post the IP. Hopefully my ABN will be there by then, If not, Oh well

[Solanine]

K.

[daredevil]

Uh... I don't like waiting.... so I installed Linux on the server and now it's much faster and I can access it remotely..... and it's back to full strength! Still waiting on my previous post though.

[daredevil]

Ok, Had a call from the Australian Taxation Office, don't feel like getting a tax file number right now so I got a refund for the .com.au and bought a .net one. :) I now have a proper domain. :D Almost done with the server, so many plugins aren't updating... Bukkit.... Blah. Maps are good though.

[Solanine]

Good good. Unfortunately the hard drive on my usual Minecraft computer has gone kaput. Should be back online before everything is finished though.

[daredevil]

The way Bukkit is going? Yeah. Almost definitely.

[Solanine]

:P yeah. Also for all those f you out there who aren't sure, this server actually exists. Josh isn't just winding you all up. I've been on it a couple of times. Although if it didn't exist it would have been a pretty funny joke.

[daredevil]

It exists? WOW! I wanna go on it!!!!

:P

I'm Josh.

[Solanine]

Crap I didn't realise I used your real name.

[daredevil]

Crap I didn't realise I used your real name.

It's cool, That boat sailed when I forget to use my forum name on WND.

[Solanine]

:L I guess.

[daredevil]

Quick question for everyone wanting to play on the server.

Has everyone bought Minecraft?
If you haven't that's cool, It'll be offline mode but still secured. I have the means.

If everyone has bought it though I'll possibly put it in online mode, Just asking for numbers.

[Gilbert]

I've bought it :)

[mageftw]

can i join my username is mageftw

[daredevil]

can i join my username is mageftw

I've already said that there is an automated system and you didn't answer my question. Have you bought the game?

[daredevil]

I need a couple of peoples opinions on the server so far. It's going well but I would like feedback. I only need 1-3 peoples opinions and these people may become mods.

[Solanine]

Hey dare, don't be to easy with those titles, servers no good with more mods than normal players.

[daredevil]

Hey dare, don't be to easy with those titles, servers no good with more mods than normal players.

I know. I know we have more than 3 people going on the server, so I'm just going to get a few mods or Opinions on the server. I don't really care who tells me whether it's good or not.

Yeah I get it, have you talked to any of the higher ups about some better advertising for the Minecraft sever? How close are we to launch?

[daredevil]

Yeah I get it, have you talked to any of the higher ups about some better advertising for the Minecraft sever? How close are we to launch?

Yeah, I've spoken to a few people and as soon as I give the thumbs up it's all systems go. I will have a synchronized release on here and on the public Minecraft forums. That's why I'm getting a few Mods and Admins. Because I expect a decent amount of people. Right now I just have to either redo the permissions or get them off the old hard drive. I'll Probably do both. Got any ideas for ranks?

[Solanine]

Same as on the forum? What are you looking for, how many levels, how long etc?

[daredevil]

I'm thinking We're Alive Specific. Like, Tower Leader and Tower member and Maller Leader and Maller and Rat.

[Solanine]

I'd say maybe for the tower side we remove a few of the levels from the forum rankings and use them. Will think about mallers.

What rankings would you have in mind? Remember these have to fit into the RP of the world.

[Solanine]

Well as you suggested tower leadership as top tier tower people, possibly also tower intelligence for the mods in the tower. The next few would depend entirely on what stat tracking abilities you have, maybe we set thresh holds for the other ranks, eg if someone has grown over 50 wheat they would become part of the "Tower garden team" or if they had gathered so many resources they would become "Tower Recon Team" Also "Tower Defense Team" coul be a good rank for people with so many kills on Z's / mallers.

The next few would depend entirely on what stat tracking abilities you have, maybe we set thresh holds for the other ranks, eg if someone has grown over 50 wheat they would become part of the "Tower garden team" or if they had gathered so many resources they would become "Tower Recon Team" Also "Tower Defense Team" coul be a good rank for people with so many kills on Z's / mallers.

I had originally thought of set jobs, but after a moments thinking I realise that would be boring as shit. Yeah, It'll be progressive most likely.
However, Those things like "Tower Defense Team" and "Tower Recon Team" won't be ranks, they'll be *Insert word I can't think of here*
It'll mostly be everyone does everything though, at different times

[Solanine]

What stats can you get?

Umm, Don't know. I'll ask.

Hello!

I'm interested in joining the server, saw that all I needed to do was post my Minecraft name and be considered to join. It's VidjaGamez of course. :)

The server isn't public yet, it will be rather soon. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of things to be ironed out. However, the server does have a automated whitelisting process, so, posting your Username doesn't do anything.

Alrighty then...

[daredevil]

Alrighty then...

Sorry if I sounded harsh, It's just that I've responded to that same message about 10 times already.

[daredevil]

Update*

The Server is not dead. I am waiting for 1.2.6 and a few Bukkit mods to update once 1.2.6 comes.
I'm very sorry it's taking this long... but I am trying to make the server the most realistic and immersive I can manage.

[Red Shirt]

Looking forward to it. I have seen quite a few good things about minecraft lately and it has really gotten my attention. $$ is super tight right now, but as soon as I can scrape up a few, I'm totally getting it.

[abayarts]

I'm interested in joining because it's so boring alone building stuff. I want to set up a server but read all the stuff and I have no time to maintain it.

[daredevil]

Yeah, The maintenance is the reason the server isn't up yet. Ubuntu came out with a new LTS (Long Term Support) Which is basically the Ubuntu version of a new Windows (Windows XP to 7, Vista sucked) and a bunch of Minecraft and Bukkit stuff. Soon...

[Solanine]

Update: Unfortunately I no longer have a pc capable of minecraft. A very sad state of affairs. So If and when the server gets up I may/may not be able to continue with mod duties. Sorry Josh.

No problem

Dam I wish I would have seen this post! I started building a rendition of the tower a little while back in my spare time. Here is when I first started, need to take another updated picture.

[daredevil]

Lord, Ok, Server is ready and just sitting there..... Ok, I'm making it official, SERVER WILL BE PUBLIC SOON.... by soon, I mean, this week or the next.

[turbo]

Sweet, I will have to get minecraft for the computer now. Can it be either pc or Mac?

[daredevil]

Yeah, Once you buy Minecraft you can play it on any computer with no extra charge

[turbo]

Sweet, thank you!

[Murder101]

Whenever the server is ready I'll be wanting on.

[daredevil]

Whenever the server is ready I'll be wanting on.

All are welcome!

Any news on the server? As far as the construct goes my suggestion would be that the world with the tower is embedded in a normal minecraft world. If the gray space around the tower was used to host a city map then you could have a randomly generated minecraft world on the outside. The grey stone world would get a little boring after a while. Just a suggestion, I'm not a tech guy so I'm unaware a to wether what I just said is possible at all.

I was actually thinking about this, being so close to launch and all, and luckily..... I found a plugin that generates Massive Cities with some normal landscapes in between :D I'm going to test it out and see if that works and if it does, it will be awesome!

Cool. Hope to here from you. My minecraft situation is still unknown, if I can get on it will be for a brief visit probably. Who knows, might even leave some easter eggs out their for the players.

[daredevil]

Server is up! IP is younggamers.net

Just follow the instructions and you're in!

To be able to play, you have to be on the whitelist. The whitelist is managed by the server's admins and operators. Reply to the thread with your minecraft name, and we'll consider allowing you on the server.
This is to prevent people from destroying the tower, after so much hard work has been put into it. Thanks for understanding.



my minecraft name is wilsonshmeface, the same as my forum name.

a little about me:
i have been listening to the podcast for a few months now. i was introduced to the show via the owner of another well enough known minecraft server, which i am still active on.
i have been looking for a good zombie themed server, but google has not been particularily helpful in providing descent servers. i have a lot of hope riding on this server, and i believe that it can be a great one.
i am a moderator on the aforementioned server, and as such i know the kind of work that goes into some things, and can appreciate it. i have had to deal with people upset about having their various builds ruined, so i know the feelng.

on another note, a suggestion to help protect the tower from malicious players:
the worldedit/regionguard plugin.
worldedit allows players (particularily staff, this can be a dangerous tool in the hands of griefers.) to make large scale changes to the world. this is not neccessarily a replacement tool for mcedit, but it allows you to do some of the same things while still having to keep only your minecraft window open.
regionguard goes along with worldedit to protect what you build. you select areas with worldedit, and set the protection so that only certain players can make changes in the protection area.

Ok, sorry about this, but the front page post is not up to date. The new way of registering on the server is by going to younggamers.net and registering on the forums.

Thanks for the advice, but I already have Worldedit, WorldGuard and a ton of other plugins designed to both protect and improve the experience of the server.

[wilsonshmeface]

okey dokey.

i suppose i should have considered that you would already have lots of suggestions by now. i just didn't much feel like going through 39 pages of posts.

[Adventureless_Hero]

So this server is up and running?

No problem, I actually haven't got many suggestions, but I've run a server before so I know my way around. Thanks though :)


So this server is up and running?
Yep, first post just hasn't been updated. Younggamers.net

[Solanine]

Congrats, long time in the making. Is it the same as I last saw it or have you got a city and surrounding countryside?

I found a beastly plugin that create randomly generated worlds with cities and countryside and mountains :D

Fixed a little bug with whitelisting if you've registered already, just re-register. Email Verification is neccesary

[Solanine]

Awesome. Does the whitelisting error mean I'm no longer moderator?

First one in, wonderful!

Very close, just right click on the WA sign and you'll be transported to a random point in the WA world. Your objective then is to find the tower, if you need a map go to younggamers.net and click "The Dynmap of my Server"

Could you add me it's burgerbros. What's the IP?

Minecraft is a very interesting game, played by billion of people. This game had potential since it appeared. I play minecraft since I was a child, and I love this game more and more. After the last updates it began to be special. A lot of new features appeared, and it`s amazing. If you want to play with your friends, I recommend you to try this website: https://minecraft.buzz/, because it has a lot of servers and a lot of new events every season. The quality of the games are great, and you will spend your time with your friends at the maximum.

Where can I find the link to this service? It looks promising, and I was just looking forward to starting my own Minecraft server. My friends and I have already tried many servers from the minecraft server list (https://servers-minecraft.net) and are looking for something new. This list is very good for the newcomers who want to try something new in the game. But when you have played for many hours, you feel the urge to go and explore all the possibilities that a game can offer. We know that creating a server is not a very difficult task, but we just want to try it out and create a cozy little server just for us.
