Not sure what you are asking help for... If you want to make it really simple, then from the top directory of your server (where the server.jar is) do this: chmod -R 755 . That's a dot at the end, it means the current directory and -R means recursive. 755 gives all the contents rwxr-xr-x...

"That cab has a dent in it."

Let's see if I can remember.. It was BASIC in 1983, then I went straight to 6502 assembler and C Then 680x0 assembly, more C. From C to Bourne shell (/bin/sh) and then Perl HTML was picked up in 1994 when I saw the Sunergy broadcast with John Gage and Marc Andreessen showing off Mosaic.

In 1995, when I started programming in Java I did it all wrong. I wrote crap code because I didn't understand the paradigm. That had to be fixed so I started reading a bit more and when I was writing Java Servlet code for ATG/Dynamo things got a bit better. I had to put all that Java away...

Alright. I get the sense so far that the preferred method might be to rely on lists. I'll keep gathering advice here and see where it goes. @Gideonseymour - Thanks for pointing that out

@YX33A "I'm just happy to be here, happy to be alive." So, like I was talking to my son (who's 12, and plays MC, etc..) and I was talking about all this. He says, "I got an idea for a mod-pack!" /me covers his face I told him that the way to do this is, find a list of mods you like, and...

I am thrilled by CoFH's work. I really am.. So, take this with a dose of good humor -- I am not singling them out because I dig their work, but I just happen to stumble on this a few minutes ago (searching for some code examples). This is the sort of license aka (DBAJ License )that makes me...

I agree to the most part that there are a few technical processes that would need to be sorted out. I'm not really frightened by that end of it. But in the abstract, the spectrum of licensing requirements for mods is insane. Most (gladly) are GPL/CC or "don't care". Still requires some...

Right. Let me walk through the typical use case scenario. Bill the mod pack guy wants to shake the world up with his awesome and paradigm changing pack. He's on a path to greatness. So he puts together a server with mods. He tests it out. He pulls hair, gnashes teeth. He tests it with...

Go with me on this, I promise it'll have a happy ending. If not, then you deserve a cupcake. Here goes: So often as I drive home from work ideas spring up that make a lot of sense. I try to remember to jot them down when I get back home and if they still make sense, I ponder how they would...

Seems like a wash. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-1620+v2+%40+3.70GHz

Haswell info here. Some other data points that I've jotted down in my mind about hosting on dedicated hardware. 1. Renting the whole box is good. VPS isn't viable for the best performance. 2. Intel over AMD, without question. The design of the microarchitecture is the key and Intel has...

From what I see so far, a lot of mods that are desirable in 1.7.x are still in work. I can appreciate the long lead time to get to that point. I do believe that at least trying to get a stable 1.7.2 pack developed with what exists today is effort well spent. (We've already covered the...

I didn't know we were arguing ;-) We were discussing trade-offs, I think. No harm in that. Anyway.. re: 1.7.2 we're full on testing now. A mod pack designed to be 1.7.2 compliant, and the mods selected are leaning towards GPL/CC licensing. A few exceptions where we have to make offerings...

We're really trying to shake the bugs out of the Alpha version (currently Alpha-1.0.4) We have a long range plan to go through a typical development cycle... Alpha Beta, then RC and then gold-disc. We have picked some mods (and they get installed as part of the Launcher functioning)...
