The host we use, MyMcServ, is being shutdown August 11. I’m going to take down the server tonight and backup everything. I’ve already got an idea of which host I’ll move to, but it may be a few days before we’re able to get back to the blocky world.
Update 08-10-2011:
Got a new host, the world uploaded, and everything back online last night. I tweeted about it but forgot to update here. HURR
Almost 12 hours since I posted “Forums will be offline for a while” I get an email with a notice that IP.Board 3.2 has been released from Beta. SO…I now don’t have that excuse to make the upgrade. *heh*
Might start tonight or this weekend, not sure yet. But that does mean I have to actually do my own skin now. Damn!
IP.Board 3.2 has come out, but is still a Beta release. I’m kind of on the fence about going ahead and making the upgrade now, or to wait a little while for the final release.
Keep in mind I ‘m still thinking about archiving the old forum and launching this as a fresh start. Still haven’t quite decided yet but if I do, the old Black-Blade site is ready to be the go-to for all the old stuff like BOTP.
Right now for me this is a GOOD thing. IP.Board 3.2 looms on the horizon and if I make ANY changes now they will end up completely lost. So rather than spend a bunch of time NOW and try to get things moving, I’d rather save myself and all you members a headache when it inevitably gets broken with the update.
I’m NOT going to lock the boards until the upgrade happens.
This was way too long to post in on the sign board or even on Twitter.
Using warps between the Nether and the Normal doesn’t work as intended. What happens is if you try to warp to a point in the Nether while still in the Normal world, you are transported to the same XYZ coordinates as where you left from in the Nether. You are NOT taken to the spot where the warp is.
Example:
A warp called Derp (not an actual warp) is set in the Nether at -32,64,48. You are at 0,64,0 in the Normal world.
When you try to warp to Derp, you are instead teleported to 0,64,0 in the Nether and not to where Derp is. Once IN the Nether though, warping to Derp will work as intended.
This works the other way around, being in the Nether and trying to warp to a location in the Normal world. The same thing will happen.
I’m not sure if this is a bug with the Bukkit server or with the Essentials plugin, or if it’s even fixable. I’ll put up more information as I find it.
UPDATE: It appears this is fixed with Bukkit build #860.
