Well I guess it's not "closed loop." I guess I meant more like "renewable / doesnt require you to keep moving to get new ores"

Don't think it exists. You could write a very simple plugin if you were so inclined, that just took /bagsee [name] [wool #] as an admin command, and then automatically copied the file in the bags folder to the white bag in your name or something. Then you could just carry that around and basically see anybody's alchemy bag contents.

Yeah you have a few redundant things. Sign shops are kinda pointless (you can buy from trade-o-mats without owning any). Also, death chests are kinda pointless, since you can just carry an alchemical bag and basically have a better version of a death chest that is always instantly available ... 16 of them, in fact.

I wouldn't bother making a server. If they have to play on it with you (OP) and with the inevitably terribly crafted rules and server setup that you will create, then nobody of any quality is going to stay there for more than about an hour before bailing out... So you're better off saving your money for a gold plated porsche or whatever the next thing on your shopping list is.

thats true. I don't remember the boot order for disks on different sides of the computer. If front boots before back it would be an annoying solution (cause you'd have to display the back of your computer to the public), but it should work, yes.

Please update the thread to indicate correctly that wireless redstone, balkons weapons mod, etc. have been banned. I'm not really sure I'm willing to play on a server without wireless, and spending the time to log on and read a bunch of rules, etc. only to figure out the thread was misleading is quite annoying. Especially for a "deluxe" thread that's supposed to be several tiers above the norm, as opposed to not even meeting minimum requirements. Thanks.

probably some sort of ID mismatch or something. Try checking the monitor id value on your client and server?

Still don't know what you're talking about. This is trivially easy in tekkit. Each barrel already holds exactly one brew of beers, which will be different based on how many hops, etc. you put in. A simple sign next to the barrel with the time and ingredients should be plenty to tell them apart...

Yes, the deployer will cast a fishing line and reel it in. However, there is no way to know when the bobber bobs, so you would probably waste/break a whole lot of fishing rods for very few fish.

Probably because like he said, he wants a safe way to set up his collector flowers. Seeing as how collectors don't work in safes or bags, those are not valid solutions.

By the way, did anybody ever kill the End dragon on this map? DO NOT visit the end right now (you will crash with an internal server error probably and not be able to log on... >.>) but I found the landmass and there was no dragon but also no exit gate...? I've been on other multiplayer servers before with dragons. What was up with that?

... Alright whatever, I'm not participating in this anymore. Andrew: I personally suggest wiping the server literally as soon as possible, like however long it takes to install new mods and hit "delete" on the world files. Any extra time means more people get bored while they wait, join another server, get hooked, never come back. Getting everybody online at once for a grand opening, if that's even a real thing that's planned right now, seems not at all worth the risk, and I would personally suggest not doing that. That is all. imma go play on SSP for a new idea.

?? wat. He just said that the reason for timezones was to make the companies "more fair" which presumably means making people in a company online together in general. Now you're saying the reason is so everybody can be together for a grand opening event? i don't see that mentioned anywhere.

I mean fine, make companies. But why does lining people up in companies require sitting around for 3 days with dead server time (it's basically the same as not having it online for 3 days straight, which is quite awhile in minecraft)? There's no particular reason why you can't shift people around to companies as they log back on. In fact, it would be both A) more effective than asking people's timezones (since timezone doesn't say much about who you are online with, if one person likes to play at 3AM and another after dinner) AND Much easier for everybody to organize anyway. All you'd have to do is place a few simple signs at spawn, that say "Hey, you just logged on to the new server! Is this when you normally log on? If so, look up what time it is RIGHT NOW in greenwich mean time. If if is 0:01-6:00, please consider joining M-Tech. if it is 6:01-12:00, please consider joining warptech, if it is 12:01-18:00, please consider joining blobture..." In addition to having less downtime. I'm really serious about the risk of being offline for long periods of time. It is deadly to player counts, almost always.

^Fixed

Please rephrase what you want to do so that it is more coherent. All I got out of that mumbo jumbo was "is there a plugin that does what tekkit already does?"

Sigh, I'm really confused. 1) Why would players need to be online for a map wipe (re: mike above)? 2) Why would time zones make companies more fair? 3) What does a "fair" company even mean? It's a non competitive server... 4) Assuming it were competitive, time zones don't tell you much about who is online together. I'm in central US and mostly see dutch people since i play in the later morning and they are after dinner. 5) Why do we even have companies anyway? Most people never built with their company, and when they did, they obviously didnt want to abide by the rules of the seemingly arbitrary company CEOs anyway (for example, almost everybody using EE and almost all CEOs saying they dont like EE). Personally I'd wipe it like half an hour from now, or however long it takes to install a rollback plugin. And worry about companies later as an optional thing / whatever.

why are we posting time zones again?

Oh okay. I was operating under the assumption that it would kick you out of the GUI at that point, like it does when you are falling and click on a chest as you fall. If not then yes, would work.

Factions in general is obviously compatible with tekkit, since there are like 40 tekkit faction servers. Dunno if that particular version is. Be sure you're using a bukkit ported factions (unless factions is natively a bukkit plugin, I don't even know).

Oh sorry ill play again, and am in central US time And if you're going to wipe the server, please wipe it ASAP now that it's been announced. There's very little or zero motivation to build anything on a server that has a known wipe date in the near future, so the clock is ticking, and people will begin to get bored and leave the server for good the longer it takes. From personal admin-ery experience.

I've never been able to place a tracker on somebody without them seeing it easily. Even with them cooperating to allow me to place it on them from the optimal angle... They're fairly useless except for annoying people. I wish they were invisible or something. Also triangulators crash server, so... Also, few people would hear a piston go off while they walk down a hallway and then think nothing of it =P

You can't press ctrl R without access to the console which requires you click an exposed face of the computer. Unless I'm missing something. Also, rebooting takes like less than a fifth of a second it seems to me from eyeballing it. It's faster than typical human reaction time for sure. So even if the console stays up on your screen after being blocked from your sight, you'd still have to practice the timing obsessively until you could basically do it with your eyes closed, in order to succeed. And that (setup + training your timing) would probably end up taking like 10x longer than just letting minecraft and the SouthEast rule do the timing for you

Maybe you've been there before. Some annoying dude put a computer in a place that makes it seem impossible to place a disk drive and boot it from disk so that you can edit his files. This is annoying, because they can write their program to prevent you from terminating it, and you can't reboot, because you need access to the front to hold down control-R, and thats the only place to put a new boot disk. But never fear! I have designed and tested a working solution: The computer in the back... imagine that it is in a forcefield or something, so you can't place a disk drive anywhere except on the front, which would block your ability to access the console. You can STILL boot it from disk with this setup. Right in front of the computer, place another computer. Left in this picture is WEST. So then you put a block breaker west, a deployer east (with a disk drive in it), and a transposer below (with a chest with a disk that has an empty "startup" file on it) On your computer run a program that has this: >>peripheral.call("back","reboot") >>rs.setOutput("top",true") Due to the order that redstone signals get processed in, within a SINGLE TICK: 1) The comptuer gets broken 2) A disk drive gets placed in front of the computer to be hacked instead 3) A disk gets put into the disk drive. This all happens so fast that the computer you're hacking has not yet completed its reboot operation. Thus, by the time it reboots, there is already a disk drive with a boot disk in it in front of it, so it boots from that. Now just break everything and you have root access, without ever having gone past the forcefield even. From here, you can mess with their password program, install a keylogger, blah blah whatever you want.

I was not giving him an example of an ACTUALLY secure password program. I was only answering his questions about how rednet messages work. If you want a secure password system, then you wouldn't code in the exact message into computer 1. You would ask for user input for the code, with: print("Password: ") password = read("*") rednet.send(16,password) So the actual password wouldn't be written on the external computer anywhere. Thus, people wouldn't KNOW what to send to computer 2. Note: Even the above setup is not actually fully secure. Somebody else, if they can access the root on your login computer (which they almost certainly can), can install a keylogger program that saves every keystroke. Then they wait until you log in once, then look up the letters you typed. Keyloggers are really easy in lua and unless you're VERY observant and paranoid, you probably wouldn't notice one was on your computer. There are much better and more secure password systems than using computercraft. Notably, an ender chest system with item detectors works as a much more secure password. The only way I can think of to prevent people from installing a keylogger would be to surround the computer on 5 sides with personal safes (so they cant boot the computer from disk), and write in code that prevents terminating the startup program. And I might be wrong about even that (it's possible that you can hold down ctrl-R and in the split second before it actually reboots, hit ESC and then place a disk drive and disk in front of the computer. You might need an autoclicker to do it fast enough, but I assume it is possible OR program a turtle to move in front, reboot the computer and then instantly blockbreak itself and deploy a drive and disk within a tick or two...?)
