Good morning all
i come to you guys as a few things need to be addressed...i felt it needed to be aired instead of crossing my fingers and hoping it'll come to pass.
So, myself and a some other guy run a tekkit server. We have been following FTB closely and are eagerly awaiting it final release which we wish to implement. This is due to the fact that Tekkit will probably not update and FTB has more more....although the more mods is what sold me.
However, i have come into a small problem, forge is no longer bukkit compatible, this is a slight issue due to the administrative tools we use and i'm sure there are a few Tekkit servers out there sitting with the same issue as myself and team.
Consider this as a check list of what is required, i know that what i am about to ask for some if not everything may exist but it felt this is required.
So, here we go
--Command book
We would like everything that this presents but the following is the important stuff:
Setting Spawn
TP to spawn
Warps (or something similar)
the muting and unmuting of ppl
debug clock and debug info
kick
ban
unban
--Permissions Ex
When it comes to a bukkit server this is the best plugin we have found.
We need some just as powerful and granular
--World guard
We require some form of border guard.....when you have a limited amount of HDD space on a server you need to make sure ppl don't go increase the world size to ungodly GBs
--World Edit & World Guard
The ability to be able to protect areas and modify or repair these areas is a must, no Ifs about it.
We find found these plugins worked the best.
Some akin to this is required.
--Backups
Well truth be told we have not found the perfect fit when it comes to backups and tekkit but the need to for backups is paramount....hell we have to backup every 15m.
this one i don't think is too hard to find a solution but it needs to work and work well.
a server that dies and cannot be recovered due to faulty backups will lose its playerbase
--Block logging
Block logging is heavily needed....with out this we cannot do our jobs. Again it is tricky to find a plugin that works with all the mods presented but the need for this is very important.
--Disable crafting
We need something that can be used to disable potentially dangers items.
We want then disabled, not just changing the item ID to 0 and the may be a time that and admin requires the item but we don't want to give crafting of sat nukes to the players as it only takes one.
--Chat manager
This is more aesthetic but it is very useful.
Just something that can be used to interface with the permissions and colour code the player
For eg.
[Senior Admin] -Red
[Standard Admin] -Orange
[Legendary] -Lime
[Pleb] -Blue
And so and so forth
Now as i said most if not all of these have either been done or are being worked on but a clear list of what is required i think is needed
