Setting up a new server on an Ubuntu box, want to know whether it is better to run openJDK or Java? any benefit from one or the other?

thanks for that, I had seen that but was wondering if there was anything similar for forge? I like keeping things simple haha

Is there any equivalent of WorldGuard that works with any the FTB packs or forge? I just need something that offers the ability to protect the spawn but still allow doors and chests etc to be opened by non OP players Cheers

Can you link me to your startup script? would be interested in seeing what else you have in yours. I just can't understand why the simple gui makes a 50% increase in ram?! mental

Right, so I just added nogui to my java server startup.. CPU ussage in task manager was usually 65 - 70% even when no one was on, now even when people are on it tops out at 30%?! that is madness! not complaining mind you, any reason this makes such a difference?

Yes good point, i forgot to say! Hosting myself, only a small server. OS is windows 7

Hi I'm looking for a backup mod for an ftb server running mindcrack. tried MCMA but didnt really like it. Tried backmeup, it was good but not many features.. wouldnt mind something with dropbox intergration etc, or a guide on something to follow Spud

Right, so I have now got it to call the serverstart bat file but nothing happens. when i put a pause in the script, this is what I see C:\Users\Media-Server\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Star tup>ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 1>nul...

Thanks I'd figured out the ping part. The part I'm struggling with is pointing it to run a .bat file that is on a different drive how do I do this?

righto, i'm running my server from a batch file. i usually created a shortcut to this in the startup startmenu folder. I've recently just moved my server to a RAM drive which is working amazingly! however, if I run this script, it usually runs before the RAM drive has been detected, or it can't...

Can anyone help me optimize the java settings for my server? been looking at other peoples for example ava -server -Xincgc -Xmx2048M -Xms1024M -Xmn512M -XX:NewRatio=2 -XX:CMSFullGCsBeforeCompaction=1 -XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=2048 -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+UseParNewGC...

Cheers, nice guide. You said to me don't overclock as it makes it unstable, however it's not tricky to achieve stable overclocks (obviously stress test first before running server on it 24/7) and surely having overclocked the CPU means that even for older CPU's even though it processors small...

Going to be hosting a server for a few friends, about 5-7 people max Want to run the FTB ultimate mod when its out. Few questions about hardware specs really Server spec is Dual Core 3.2ghz intel chip (replacing stock cooler so I can over clock it to 4ghz) 8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram 16b ethernet...

ah i see! thankyou for clearing that up. Yes in the modlist it says it is in it for direwolf but on mindcrack it just says redpower so I assumed it was the old redpower.. thankyou!

I know red power is in the mindcrack pack, I was wondering if redpower 2 was going to be added? Would it be best to wait for the ultimate pack do you recon?

Is red power 2 coming to the mindcrack pack? Also what are the ultimate and other packs that are coming going to be? Trying to decide which one to have on my server :)

Hi I run a server for a few friends and me. At most there is about 10 people on it (very rarely) Just got a few questions about a few things. Firstly Lvl * tick What is this all about and why do lvl's come and go? Currently I have lvl 7, lvl -1, lvl 1, lvl 0 however this changes sometimes...

any news on if they are going to create a converter as I doubt I'm the only one with this problem? :P Apart from this the pack is great!

Hmm I see. Well it's not a world I converted to FTB, its one we started when the mod pack came out. Hopefully they are going to standardize the block ID's as this seems like a no brainer in making mods easy to use add / remove. I guess we'll just have to see. Either that or a world converter...

Just a general query, what will happen to my current world after red power 2 gets added? I know that the bits that have been generated and visited already won't have any of the new stuff etc, but will the rest of it get it? Spud
