    PSA: MCPC+ and Modded Minecraft

    I will give this one more shot. It seems like some in the forge project do want to see the warts of what is going on in servers so here is my last go at it. Server issues with forge: First context. I am the small community server you specified as your target. I previously stated my 3 reasons...

    PSA: MCPC+ and Modded Minecraft

    And I thought this was supposed to be civil. /sigh. There is no "sense of entitlement going on". Fact is people are using MCPC+ because there isn't a better alternative. Putting a line in the sand that states "We don't support this" isn't going to make FTB more popular or stop the bug reports...

    PSA: MCPC+ and Modded Minecraft

    Sorry I am a quite a bit late to this thread but I would ask Jaded and the whole FTB team to rethink this whole it's not a mod issue if it's on MCPC+. There are two reasons I am using MCPC+ and a third that is nice. 1) Admin commands and player commands and permissions to manage them. Everyone...

    Chunkloading

    We did a bunch of testing on our 1.5.2 server with this. The conclusion we came to is get people to make smaller networks to reduce lag. Unloading chunks an be a good thing if the user doesn't play a lot or isn't a big builder. But If you have big complex builder log into an unloaded chunk...

    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    Different in implementation but you expose your self potentially to the same risk. We can pick nits all day if we want. Letting anyone you do not explicitly trust in your private network is dangerous. Many who read this forum have no idea how much so. Opening a private network is not something...

    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    It's not being a dick to point out a fail solution in a whimsical manner. Let me go over some of the issues with using ssh tunnels for the average minecraft server owner. 1) Teach your users how to setup tunnels in putty. (yay the worlds most awesome ssh app. not). for the more advanced use...

    The lag - I hate it. Tips for lag reduction?

    ssh tunnels to fix lag = face/palm. If your dropping packets try tuning your tcp stack to match your upstream. Unless you know how to break down network traces to check what is being requested and what is being sent this is probably not an option. Also increase the amount of cores that the...

    A pic says a 1000 words....wtf....(screenie included)

    1.1.1.251 is the current recommended build. file a bug on the git for the version you are using and roll back to recommended.

    Server hardware discussion. Any server Owner Must Read !

    Any more swap than 1Gig on a Linux host is completely useless. Swap should only be used if you are running out of RAM and if you are running out of RAM swap will only allow you to continue to run the server until your RAM issue is resolved. I.E if you are swapping you have a RAM problem that...

    Dynmap

    What is called lag is relative and what you are complaining about is exactly why it doesn't work well. If you just want a map of your world then yes render on another machine and move it and on a large world expect that transfer to take literally hours and hours. After that you could setup a...

    Dynmap

    Do not use the 1.4 version of it. It will slow your server to a crawl. the 1.5 alpha is much much better. Also have a multi cpu machine.

    Mindcrack Lag Complaints? Optimizing FTB Servers

    What is your upload speed to the internet? (note NOT the network you are plugged into. You did mention hosting though) Assuming it's 100Mb you can still max it out with 10 players changing dimensions at the same time.. Wither fights also seem to jack the network load. If you are running linux...

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    So for clarification of what is defined as easy. Take the 25+ mods my server is using and review their use policies if they have one. Find a way to contact anyone who does not specifically state permission, If a way is provided. In the event that permission is explicitly denied in the forum...

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    When I go check the mystcraft forum post it states" 3. REDISTRIBUTION This MOD may only be distributed where uploaded, mirrored, or otherwise linked to by the OWNER solely. Requests for permissions to distribute the MOD will be denied. Modpacks which already had permission retain that...

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    oh and as an aside gregtech never puts the version he replaced in his old versions. I.E he strands people every time he updates. They are always at least 2 versions off if he puts them there at all. And to the comment of if it was removed due to bugs or not it doesn't really matter. If it's the...

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    A few clarifications. A feature that is not usable by any but a few select people is a waste of time. As for how hard it is to get permissions to distribute a mod it varies widely by the mod author and it doesn't' really matter for my server anyway. I use a lot of mods some of those can be...

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    I didn't argue anything about asking for permissions. Some how you extracted that. I already know most mod authors just plain wont give it. That is not the issue. The issue is that mod authors do not follow good policy for releasing mods. I.E when you update a mod you should be leaving a link to...

    Anyone know anything about using forge essentials?

    This is the main Forge Essentials package for the server, but can be installed on client as well for use in a LAN environment. Installation Instructions Download the mod from the links below. Place the "core" jar in the coremods folder. Place the "modules" zip in the mods folder. Run...

    Server hardware discussion. Any server Owner Must Read !

    Upload speed is variable. I am running 20 slots easily with a 1 gig pipe. I also stream while doing it. Not an hd stream but none the less. CPU is almost always the bottleneck. Ram does matter but not as much as everyone thinks.

    Private Packs: How Do I Make One?

    If this is indeed the case, then this feature is 100% a waste of time and no further development should be spent on it. I spend more time on my server having to link to old versions that mod devs refuse to make available on some days than i do actually playing. (I'm talking about you...
