Updated to version 1.1.3 Changelog - Updated Botania to latest stable - Updated DragonAPI to latest stable - Updated GeoStrata to latest stable - Removed "Agressive Update" configuration from DragonAPI and Geostrata - Added more loot to random generated dungeon and battle tower chests - Began creation of Official Wiki that has a "Getting Started Guide" for new players. (http://tinyurl.com/lc5mqo8)

I know this thread is kinda silent, but I just wanted to say awesome job with it. This fits perfectly into an SMP Modpack I am working on and I think is quite unique in a sense that I really haven't seen anything like it.

So I have a third part webhost on which I am constructing a Wiki for my modpack. I am curious to know if anyone can provide some documentation or some examples on how to hook into the Technic API so that all pack update or changelogs, etc. can be pulled from the api and updated automatically onto a website. Example would be most helpful, even if it is a simple block of code that pulls the "Latest News" from a modpack's page and echoes it out via php to the thrid party page. Help is appreciated. I wish I knew why it posted it like that. I don't see the "Use Full Editor" on the new forums.

Added

Important Update for all members of the server. This server is hard, this server is very hard. (Not as hard as the Hardcore Mode Ones) In light of this server's difficulty, I have given all players of rank "Member" the ability to warp and set warp points as well as home locations and the ability to warp back home. I have also added in access to the /back command so you can return to your death point. Use /help in game to see a list of commands made available to members.

Thank you Tinwskies for the permissions report. I fixed the perms as well as the flags as well as edited those spawnroom chests to contain new items to get a new adventurer started. I appreciate the report.

Added both of you to the whitelist. @Twinskies - Welcome, I hope you enjoy your time. @Xx_Skate_xX - Yes I have heard of Bluestone, never personally been involved with it but have seen it. And that is a good skill to have. As to answer your question in the simplest way possible. This server specifically is not for everyone. We have specifically designed this modpack with that in mind. As a matter of fact this modpack is not for everyone. Many people may not like the modpack because of the sheer difficulty. HOWEVER, those that do get drawn to this server because of its nature are likely to enjoy it because they like that type of experience. I don't really get people to want to join the server (at least not with this modpack). The pitch of this modpack itself will draw people of similar interests. We could go into the marketing of the pack sure, but ultimately this is one of those packs where you like it or you hate it and because we (NSP) kept that in mind while designing this pack we accept those repercussions. Nerd Storm Production (NSP) designs packs and servers as a hobby. The key is Quality over Quantity. We know that if you are attracted to this type of Challenge you will enjoy this pack. Contradictory, we also know that if you do not like this type of experience you will hate the pack which is fine. Maybe you will like one of our other packs instead. So in summary after the wall of text, I get people to want to join the server because they like the type of pack that this particular server runs like you said, "sold me at magic". So if the pack appealed to them, then naturally they may be interested in what an official server has to offer. The server in and of itself also offers a unique experience different of SSP (for example check out the "Prayer of Relief System" that we just launched yesterday). The key is keeping it interesting. Not many servers, for example, have an online webstore that hooks into the game so you can buy materials for survival with currency you have earned from doing quests in game. You mentioned streaming, if you want to stream your experience on the server please do. I have not gotten much feedback on the pack yet. But the downloads and installs keep climbing so I imagine it is running smoothly for everyone who is installing it and running it. I have one YouTuber who said he is going to do a mini-series on it. And naturally I am curious as to see first hand what individual experience is with the pack. Plus this is a public pack and all the mod authors have given me their permission to use the mods in this pack so it is fair open game.

Lol oh yes, gotta love them some Lobbers . Thankfully though the Lava won't destroy your home or set fires (it shouldn't). I have had a team of Lobbers just start throwing lava at my home and all I could do was dig through the ground to get away until they despawned and the event ended.

Server has been updated to 1.1.2. Prayer for Relief system is live. Check this post for more details:

Updated pack to 1.1.2 Prayer of Relief Update (Server Side) (mainly effective on Magical Divination Server, as it adds a "favor" system in which you pray to the gods of Tamrien for relief and it forces you to balance your favor with the gods to reap benefits to further you in your journey) Client Updates - Hopefully further resolved the supposed crash relating to ChocolateQuest like in the previous version (I have yet to receive any crash reports so it seems to be working fine.) - Updated the Modpacks help page to show what is recommended to run this pack - Updated the config files yet again to add more loot to the randomly generated dungeons - Updated the config files to remove old configs no longer in use as well as have some mods generate new ones - Removed remnants of Ropes+ items that potentially could have caused some errors client side (mainly a server fix) - Updated the Meteor Configs to adjust radius that meteors will fall from players as well as disabled meteors getting the ability to create Nether Portals - Changed EnviroMine configs to disable Sanity and BodyTemperature (they simply didn't play nice with the fire mobs). For those that want it re-enabled you can make the change in your config file. - Changed EnviroMine food rot time to be 31 days as opposed to 7 (server side) - Added in the faction system for Prayer of Relief. This initial update puts the placeholder in for Single Player. Those that play on the server will receive updates to the QuestBook without having to download new versions of the client, simply logging into the server will auto-update your quest book. (unfortunately users who are Single Player only can only do the first tier of Prayer of Relief Quests but will need to download the next version of the client once it is available to get the remaining Tiers from the Prayer of Relief event this weekend. This is not to punish or promote the SMP server.) This is simply the most efficient way to do it without having to spam bump my topic/pack with tiny updates that simply change the configs. I try to reserve topic bumps specifically for large updates or important ones. - Botania configs slightly altered to set using alternate textures to false. I turned this on accidentally in the hotfix updates - Battlegear2 GUI bar for the quiver has been adjusted. Now it will properly appear on the screen when you switch to your bow weapon. - Changed starting quest that introduces combat to give you a Deku Shield instead of the Wooden One because I like Legend of Zelda. - Adjusted quest repeatability rates to better balance out the Prayer of Relief faction system.

I updated the pack to 1.1.1a - 1.1.1 - removed Ropes+ as it was causing some imbalances with Battlegear2, basically rendering BattleGear2's arrows useless. -1.1.1a - Hotfixed GeoStrata and the DragonAPI

I added you to the whitelist. Is that an underscore before the J in your name?

I have added both of you to the whitelist. Please keep in mind that this server is still growing and if you know people who may be interested point them in the direction of this thread. I reiterate that this server's rules are simple: 1. No Griefing 2. No Griefing 3. Have Fun and enjoy This server uses the GriefPrevention Plugin, so anyone who joins the server will be able to claim a plot of land (limited by player) to build and create. The server is not your average server. The server is difficult. More quests will be added in later this week.

Very good. I have added you to the whitelist. Anime and Manga are a super plus As to answer your questions - yes I do take suggestions and requests however I would do some serious testing before I implement it into the modpack. The plugins the server uses currently are Hyperconomy so you can purchase stuff from the servers Webstore (to buy some survival materials for in game currency), grief prevention, and various utility plugins. I do plan to have the server grow hopefully. It is still in the infant stages.

Alrighty, I have added you to the Whitelist. Please keep in mind this is a brand new server and I am looking to grow it. So if you have responsible friends or family that you may like to bring onto the server (this goes for anyone reading this that has been whitelisted) please direct them to this post. Enjoy the server.

The server has been updated and is running 1.1.0 - Bloodthorn of the Magical Divination Pack. The server has also had the GriefPrevention Plugin slightly modified and a new additional mod that will generate Random Walled Cities, Towns, and other structures around the map in addition to the already randomly generated Dungeons and Epic Ruins for exploration and loot.

I wasn't going to post this today as there was an update yesterday however this update is too large to hold back as it does resolve some game-play issues. Sorry to those of you that just updated the pack yesterday and now have to update again. Major Update Build 1.1.0 - Bloodthorn Update - Total and Complete Overhaul to Title Screen (credit to BrunuhVille for new Menu Music) - Significant Mod Updates Listed Below: - OpenBlocks updated to resolve internal server soft-crash issue when opening "Domination Book" - Botania Update to Rev 169 (see changelog in spoiler) - Configurations updated to add more loot to dungeons - Server Side Implementation of new random generated structures.

Updated to version 1.0.9 - Added No Recipe Conflict to resolve a slight few recipe conflicts. Simply use the arrow keys to cycle multiple recipes.

Glad you managed to fix it (was going to post my .htacess for you, but it is basically identical to that). This is something that should be made known to those trying to set up a Solder Installation. Many are not aware that the .htacess file has the power to fix a lot of the shared hosting solder setups.

I added you to the WhiteList. Please keep in mind this is a brand new server and needs to be built up. If you play on the server and know people who may enjoy it please feel free to direct them here. I would like to build this server up. As with all brand spanking new servers it takes time. I need the help of the community to make that a reality. The server right now has a cap of 20. However it is my own dedicated box so I have total and full control of that. Also please note, this is NOT a typical server. This server will punish you and is meant for those who want and love the challenge. I do not want to give people a false sense of being able to peacefully build and go to sleep at night so no mobs spawn and they can go back to building. The server is geared specifically to providing you with a challenge.

Updated to version 1.0.8 - Not a very large update but a nice one none the less - Cleaned up more configs - Cleaned up some mods and their files - Gave a whole face lift to the main title screen thanks to new mod

Updated to version 1.0.7 Changelogs: - Updated Zelda Sword Skills - Updated Chocolate Quest - Updated configuration files - Added in OpenEye

Just gave that a shot and actually installed update number 40 64bit and now it seems even though (for testing purposes) I set the launcher to allocate 8, it allocate only 7. Quite odd, unless it is built into the launcher that way to not exceed an amount?

I have added you to the whitelist. As well as edited the topic title to include server version. As to answer your question if it will grow. Yes I hope so. I put a lot of work into it. And I am just starting it up. So it will take time yes. But I do plan for it to grow.
