Looking for help configuring server

[MacrosBlackD]

I'm looking for someone who can help me configure my minecraft server. It is currently running Direwolf20's pack on a creeperhost server.

The main jar file is called craftbukkit; but as far as I can tell, it is just the default minecraft server jar, no plugins get loaded or anything. I've been playing around with trying to get MCPC+ installed with no luck. I added ForgeEssentials to mess around with permissions and worldborder stuff.

What I need is someone who can guide me through getting MCPC+ installed, with worldborder, dynmap, permissions, and a towny-like mod installed. I've looked through the server admin area for a couple of hours over the last couple of days and haven't managed to figure this out myself.

Thanks in advance.

I can unfortunately not help you. But will there be any chance for me to join you? I am desperately looking for a direwolf20 server.

I don't mind, I'm trying to keep the population low until the sever is fully configured though.

I would personally dump forge essentials if your going down the MCPC+ route, they don't work well together.

When you say you have craftbukkit.jar, where is the ftbserver.jar? (Aka the direwolf jar?)
Also what admin panel are you using?

The general update process is:
Install FTB (MindCrack,Direwolf or Ultimate)
Start the server to generate files.
Stop the server.
Download the MCPC+ Legacy.jar (it has to be legacy version as the current MCPC+ is for 1.5.X)
Rename the MCPC+ Legacy.jar to the same name as your FTB/Direwolf.jar
Replace the FTB/Direwolf.jar with the renamed MCPC+ Legacy.jar
Start the server to generate files.
Stop the server
Install plugins into your plugins folder (I would recommend Bukkit Essentials, PermissionsEX, Dynmap, Worldborder, Grief Prevention, Recipear and Hawkeye Reloaded)
Configure plugins
Start the server.

The server came with direwolf20 installed, I was assuming that the craftbukkit.jar was just ftbserver.jar renamed so they wouldn't have to have multiple versions of startup scripts.

 

[UnionCraft]

In that case I would rename MCPC+ Legacy.jar to craftbukkit.jar, seems kind of weird they named the Direwolf20.jar as craftbukkit.jar tho, its not bukkit based its forge based.

True. I've settled on reinstalling minecraft on the server and seeing what happens. So far so good, and I'm uploading my old world now to see what kind of damage is done.

Are there any good step-by-step guides for configuring the plugins you mentioned?

Also, I was looking at GriefProtection and it looks amazing. However, it says it is incompatible with Mystcraft. What kind of incompatibility do they mean?

-Bukkit Essentials config file is pretty good for explaining itself.
-PEX is abit more complicated I would suggest reading through thier wiki tutorial, but this plugin will pretty much be the core of what you want your players to do, you will want to make alot of changes to it over the life of your server so understanding how it works will benefit you a great deal.
https://github.com/PEXPlugins/PermissionsEx/wiki (I'd recommend following thier basic permissions tutorial)
-Dynmap is pretty much an install and go, unless you want to fiddle with which worlds are shown on the webpage or if you want to disable the chat function but they are covered in his FAQ
-WorldBorder is a straight forward plugin, some basic commands ingame and your good to go
-Grief Prevention will need a list of modded items adding to the config (see below)
-Recipear needs some setting up too based on what recipes you want to ban (and you will want to ban some as they bypass grief prevention (also see below)
-Hawkeye is a logging tool and is abit more complicated, It records everything your players do, it lets you check who placed/broke what and where and also revert a single players actions. Your going to need a webserver for the web interface aspect (if you need it, its just a more convenient way of searching through the data your players are generating) and you will need a MySQL database (which most hosting providers give you for free), again they have guides on how to set everything up.

I have no idea about mystcraft incompatibilities, im assuming they mean grief prevention wont work in mystcraft worlds, probably due to the config searching for and adding world names to its config, you could probably add these manually but I run a MindCrack server which doesn't have Mystcraft so my knowledge on it is limited to say the least.

Grief Prevention config, paste over the 'Mods:' section of the config.yml in the Grief Prevention folder

Recipear config - this is our servers personal config and you will probably want to change alot of items as we have a structured donation set up but this gives you a good idea of how to set it up.
NOTE: This is a forge mod as bukkit recipe removers have issues with MCPC+ (the recipear.cfg is in the config folder not the plugin folder), you will want to ban some things such as project tables for example due to dupe issues, check this forum for ban threads and dupes etc.
