I cannot stress this enough... Moving your computer to the DMZ of any network IS NOT A SOLUTION. It's a security risk. You are opening yourself up, and hanging an open invitation on your door saying please come hack me, steal my personal info and to make life easier, I'll even take the door off the hinge so you don't have to worry about it closing behind you. And the only reason you would get a result from putting yourself in the DMZ and not from Port Forwarding, is because you did it wrong. P.S. For the newbies around here who don't know what DMZ is it stands for: De-Militarized Zone. I'm pretty sure you can work out the rest from there.

I don't really think you need a plugin for bandit squads really... as long as you allow for that style of play, it will happen naturally. Personally I would stick to just protecting the towns and cities, and let the wilderness figure itself out without any additional protections. I'd probably also recommend you put in a nice big boarder round your cities so players don't destroy the landscape immediately around or to and from them. (Read claim your city size x2) Unless your using Spout, there's no real way for players to feel like their part of party that you can implement anyway. (P.S. Mind if I steal your idea? And set one of these up myself? )

I'd use something like: http://www.canyouseeme.org/

Sure okay, but I'm guessing for the most part most of your videos and stuff will be hosted on youtube... in which case it isn't actually using your bandwidth.

I mean bootstrap the CSS design template: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ Lots of people I know run IRC and webservers from a old spare laptop, websites are not hardware intensive at all. You've only got to think: How big is my entire website really? 2 maybe 4mb on average. Then add in your images, takes you to what? 20 - 30mb? and half of it is probably never even sent to the end-user. Then most decent sites will compress the stream, so your 15mb becomes more like 10mb, your only actually using for 10mb of bandwidth for each user who actually views your entire site. Not to mention the large delays in sending it in much smaller parts since the user is typically only going to be viewing one page at a time. Really not something anyone needs to worry about even on a home pc/connection. When you start including web based IRC chat though, thats when your bandwidth usage shoots right up.

Well re-download it then... chances are you got an incomplete download.

A webserver is much much less intensive than any game server lol... Your only main upload factors will depend on how many pictures you load, so with a bit of clever CSS your site can easily use next to no bandwidth. (I run about 20 websites and between them they rarely use more than 10GB a month) and I sure don't do many clever things with CSS. Try looking up some themes for phpBB, you'd be surprised what you can change with a simple theme. P.S. I also started using BootStrap, it's pretty darn good :-)

Sorry what? You know Group Manager is a "PLUGIN" for a minecraft server right? You can't run it by itself... Just copy it into your Plugins folder in your Minecraft/tekkit server. On a side note... I think today is going to be one of those days where 1 quote isn't quite good enough... I'm going to need two: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" - Murphy's Law Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein

Where is your minecraft server hosted? If you have a decent host (like CreeperHost) that gives you an API you can hook into you don't need a plugin, (I suppose if you were really smart you could also make use of the GameSpy4 Query ) but yeah. Other notes: - This forum and lots of other minecraft forums use "Xenforo" which you can see in the bottom left of every page. (No, it's not free, phpBB on the other hand is.) - How exactly are you editing your site? If your managing to make it go dark side on you your probably doing it wrong. - If you want everything tied in, it'll be much easier and probably cheaper to run your website from the same machine as your Minecraft server, not to mention a database to store all that info in, I'd probably recommend MySQL.

Are you sure you posted in the right thread? And on a side note... half of the mod makers for the mods in tekkit didn't agree for their mod to be part of the tekkit pack. And if you want to look at competing mod packs, you should check out Feed the Beast.

Use pastie, or a code snippiet. Anyway, does the server start back up again? or does it do that every time? If it starts back up again without issue, chances are it's just one or two players in a corrupted chunk or something like that)

There are other ways you can allow other users to get more than FTP access... but I haven't really tried them, You could probably look into running something like Citrix though. I'm sure some others here can help you out with finding suitable solutions to this, (I haven't run a windows server for anything other than basic user management in a local network) And you can guarantee that the 10% you aren't there, is when everything goes to pot and the guy on the other end needs you most. If there was any chance you'd be interested in trying out a UNIX OS again, I'd be more than happy to try and help you get everything you need up and running. Windows servers have their place... but in schools, home networks and test environments where you can get easy access to everything from a nice GUI, not when your trying to manage any remote users or maintain the security of data on a network. I also hope that you take all this for exactly what it is, constructive criticism. I'm not trying to punch a hole in your balloon, I only wish more people were as forthcoming with their material items.

Ahh I see... so half your resources already go into running the OS and a whole bunch of background applications you don't even know exist :-) You'd be much better off installing something like Ubuntu or CentOS or RedHat on it, and giving your "customer" a shell account, it's much more secure, and it uses less power. Also means you won't get hounded everytime they need to do something from the console. I'm not trying to make life difficult, but we're talking about a game server here, not a website... it's not a install and forget job... you constantly need to monitor the console for errors, and invariably fix them within a few mins, before they become big problems or crash the server. (granted with a tekkit server any fix will usually also require a server restart) Again, something you ideally need shell access for and not rely on someone else to do. I do totally appreciate your trying to offer something to someone, but the cost is too high for any server hoping to achieve more than 3 or 4 players. So your really not doing your hardware justice and using it to it's full potential. You should also include what network capabilities the server has, (I know I sort of glazed over that bit in the last post and just based my estimates on the given stats) as this is also a very important factor for anyone looking to move away from a home hosted server.

I think I speak for a lot of server owners when I say... I'd be very interested... but only having FTP access doesn't cut it at all... Need at least a shell user account to log in via SSH. Also on a side note ... 8gb RAM and 12-15 slots? Are you using a 10yr old single core CPU?

to be honest, if its only for 4 or 5 players, you can home host it. Given of course you have a standard landline connection and not Satalite or mobile.

Did you read the error log? Have you tried re-downloading the server and extracting it all to a fresh clean folder?

I think that CreeperHost offers a better Dedicated server for the money than limestonenetworks... but of course I'm converting between GBP and USD. (Actually just checked it out properly, the same server on linestonenetworks would cost you $100 a month more than CreeperHosts, the only real advantage being that you have more options for customization from the website, rather than how you'd do it with creeperhost via customer support)

Looks like WR to me... I'd probably just remove the WR mod for a few hours, then put it back on.

Really? I've not seen any of those... Actually I've had fewer crashes now I've changed to Spigot than when I was on CB++...

Hmmm.... I'll check into it... But by darkbunny's own admission, the pair of you were griefing someone. (even if you did give the stuff back in the end)

if you have any hope of getting more than 4TPS you will need to use both Spigot and LaggClear.

D3, it's more a case of being able to get the plan. Out here, we're still using overhead lines that were "condemned" 20-25years ago as not being fit for standard telephone calls, nvm high speed broadband.

lol.... well this has got to be one of the biggest cases of "answered my own question" i've seen in a while.

Actually... I found out today (thanks mrkekson) that Spigot which started as a fork for CB++ is actually better. http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/read-first-about-spigot.3/

Firstly, Most tekkit server owners avoid NoLagg like the plauge. It's prone to causing more issues than it solves, and if you have a half decent connection, it's not really needed. Secondly, If you absolutely must get it, you want version 1.86 which is the version compatible with MC 1.2.5
