Metatopia

Another update. I’ll try to pay a little more attention and get the mod fixed up too, once it also gets an update.

Server is updated to 1.6.5. The mod that adds warps and item kits hasn’t been updated yet, so we’re currently running vanilla. Have fun.

Edit: Make that 1.6.6. Still no mod. (5/31/11)

Finally got off my lazy bum and updated the server. Probably no one cares, but the server is there if any one does~

I’m aware that there is a new build of Minecraft out, but I’m not going to update until there’s a new version of hMod. You can download the new Minecraft launcher, which should let you play without updating. If you’ve already updated and want to go back to playing on Metatopia, supposedly the old .jar should be in your C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\bin directory (for win7). Just get the launcher, remove the new Minecraft.jar from that same directory, and rename the old file (supposedly minecraft-1.3_01.jar) to Minecraft.jar. I can’t verify that this works, but there you go.

I also picked up the domain metatopia.net last week (needed an ASP host for another project and figured why not), so eventually I’ll be changing the address to that. I’ll post here when I get that set up.

Hey guys. Doesn’t look like any of us are playing much, but just in case, the server has been updated to version 1.3_01, with the corresponding hMod update. As always let me know if there are any problems.

The full map is ~52mb and quite large!

Okay, so I updated Bukkit today, and now some of the plugins aren’t working. /home and /warp seem to be effected. Sorry. Will mess with it more later. Really really do not like Bukkit at the moment. I’m looking into some unofficial updates for hey0; if I can get one of those to work, we’ll switch over to it.

Update: hmod seems functional. /warp and /home are once again working, and damage is once again turned off. The mod is very much still in alpha status however, so be careful and let me know if you run into anything that seems at all wonky.

Okay, folks. We’re currently running a “Development” version of Bukkit, along with a few plugins that duplicate the /home and /warp functionality of hey0. In fact, the developers of those plugins are so cool, they even included a way to convert the old format homes and warps to the new plugin format, so all of our old stuff is back. I’ve even restored our kits, though I’ve changed them over to use the “official” names so they match the tooltips. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that minecraft.net seems to be going up and down with alarming frequency, so you may not be able to log in. It seems to be very brief time-outs, so if you keep trying, you should be able to get in. For all I know, no one’s actually paying attention anymore, but if anyone *wants* to play and minecraft.net cooperates, the server is back, with the same basic functionality as before. I think.
