I love this server. The owner is active and friendly and seems to always be doing something new to the server.

By real I meant successful :/. There are many business that adopt the hit and run method, and many that treat their customers like gods and goddesses. Generally the most successful businesses and communities are those in which EVERYONE treats EVERYONE like people. When regular members start to treat Admins like royalty or like dirt it always ends bad, same goes when admins are too forgiving or harsh. Its a shaky balance.

A real business doesn't treat their customers like customers anyways, they treat them like Real People. The fact that you guys even offer a way to help the community (Forums, Tutorials) shows just how nice you guys really are. In all honesty, the help you guys offer is worth a lot more than people seem to realize.

Re: Next Go-Around, please configure the pack better for balance and gameplay Try sitting at a computer looking at a bright white screen with tiny white letters, sifting through weeks of works from several different programmers; altering, calculating, and trying to understand the systems used to make a specific action work, then use what you know to alter this system to try and get it to work correctly with 20 other systems, and without any errors, and once you've done this, repeat it for every other system that might even be close to interfering with another. Once you get these set of systems configured, you may have just made it possible to do one simple action in the game. Like open a door that's setting on a Technic block. Rinse and repeat this hundreds of times and then take your work that has taken hours and hours of time to do, and combine it with another programmers who likely did something a little different with his systems that interferes with your systems. Get the gist? These guys start with nothing more than a lot of confusing and totally different mods, some that do things that really alter game mechanics. These guys have to understand and know everything about not just the game, but each mod. I don't understand how these guys do it for free, but I surely respect them and their work. I've done a lot of programming in java and many other languages, and I refuse to take a single look at Minecraft because it's written so oddly and always changing. You couldn't pay me to try and combine this with the work of mod creators. Let alone combine several mods with Minecraft. If you want a good idea of what its like to work on this stuff, stick your head in a wood chipper...

Has anyone found a way to protect from people using EE to grief the server? Anyone using the lazer or the destruction catalyst can destroy spawn and such. I really prefer to keep EE enabled but it's beginning to look like I will have to disable it.

Are you on a VPS or Dedicated server?

A lot of my players are getting lag issues due to RAM on their clients. Even my client began to lag and throw out of ram errors. Turns out, updating java causes the launcher to only allocate 247mb of ram. If you hit f3 in game, you will be able to see. This probably isn't your issue, but it's worth a look.

The problem isn't that I couldn't fix the issue, it's that to fix it, I'd have to decompile the code. Meaning I would likely be breaking their license terms. So I'm not going to do that. :/

Not trying to discourage the search for a solution, but this is in the hands of the tekkit team. Which is good. Considering this is clearly an issue with the BlockPlaceEvent, and that tekkit is not open source, I doubt we will find a fix :[.

Alright... now people keep connecting wooden pipes to condensers making the server crash and causing me to have to download the 1G map, edit it in mc and upload it.... Can't block the placement of condensers so I can't have a public server.

Same here. I refuse to advertise until I can protect my players...

I tried to replace blockplaceevent.class with one from bikkit. It gave the player his item back, but didn't remove the block. Seems everything bukkit to tekkit is the same. This doesn't make sense...

I agree.

This is true for every protection system I've tried. I'm sure the Tekky team is working on it.

Same issue here. Tried Precious Stones and same issue, also same for P Stones. World Guard/Edit on several versions fails to stop block placement and my 4-5 hours of amazing spawn tree was destroyed the other day. I refuse to restore anything until there is some way to get working protections.
