How did you limit them 3 per player? or did you just tell them to only use 3 and hope they listen? Yeah i understand that, but its also really hard on the server when people abuse things that other players use to assist them. Chunk loaders arn't necessary for quarries though, the quarries keep 4 chunks loaded around them(in tekkit lite at least)

when you just dl the server file through technic it will come with the correct batch file

Do you know if there are any mod crafting benches and such that bypass nocraft rules?

that applies in any world. by no means am i allowing chunk loaders. that's just a recipe for disaster. If your not only to lazy to mine but also to impatient to allow a machine do all the work for you then minecraft prolly isn't the game for you XD

The solve I'm going for right now is allowing turtles, maybe quarry's if i can figure out how to limit them, in a separate world from the building world. so its just a recourse world that can be reset.

I run PermissionsEX on my server as well. haven't had any problems. but my server isn't public yet, just testing with small groups.

There are lots of other items in the game. I said in the original post that i may allow 1 per player. haven't decided yet. They are just to destructive and abused. And have pre-generated worlds for them to visit? And i just dont know how to protect the server against Quarrys, still researching. For dimentional doors the ones that randomly generate are still active but you cannot craft them.

I feel the same way, more planets or even more features on the moon would be awesome!

Got a fresh banned items list, please say what you think: Quarry: Lag/grief Filler: Lag/Grief Turtle: Grief(Temp) ChunkLoader: Lag Mystcraft: Management/lag Dimensional Doors: Lag Rift Blade: Lag Dynamite: Lol Cannon: ^ Trade Boothtop: Experimenting with items showed that you can place them ANYWHERE reguardless of protections. Unstable rift door: Lag Working on getting it smaller or more protective! Also had an idea to somehow implement space stations to allow players to keep their stuff 100% safe as long as they don't allow strangers into their place to build. Let me know what you think?

Bumping over and over will get you in trouble. a Win 7 batch file will work literally exactly the same as a win 8. Just locate your java and create a batch file correctly.

Got Prefix's working :D

My plan is to add [ComputerCraft] to the basic rank in my perm plugin and warn players that their turtles and such cannot edit inside theirs or anyone elses region, Haven't tested it yet though.

I wont ban them on my new server since I've upgraded the cpu on my box since my last server but it did help the preformance a lot back then. I'm sure they are better on the server by now. Does anyone know the compatibility with pex on this version of tekkit? I can get the ranks working but i cannot for the life of me get the Prefixes to show up.

I ended up banning bc pipes in my previous server. The reason you would ban them is cause on popular servers with a more eco or lower end server machine (such as mine) the bc pipes can be very intensive on your CPU, Thus creating mass amounts of tick lag.

I've been looking around at other servers banned items/mods lists and i see that some even take out mystcraft, is that a reasonable thing to do? and chunk loaders would have to go i think, i would think about allowing 1 per player but i dont know yet. still very early planning stages

Working on a new galactacraft server (not sure if spelled right) And I'm looking for suggestions, input and such. Had an anti grief idea to make Space stations a players self managed home, by this i mean to make it their responsibility to keep griefers out (don't add strangers) since they control who can access it and who cant. Let me know what you think of that? Plus a grief prevention plugin in the overworld as well. The banned items and mods I'm thinking about currently: Quarry Hard on CPU usage and can be used as a griefing tool. Thoughts about making them usable in one world and only one per player but haven't quite decided yet. Filler To be honest i don't really know what this item does, just after research people complain a lot about griefing from it and CPU consumption like the Quarry Turtle Probably wont ban this one, I'm thinking of adding [computercraft] to the basic rank of my server and just telling players that they cannot use them on their own land. If that doesn't work a temp removal of them may be necessary till i can make them safe for use. Chunk loader No need for explanation ^.^ Mystcraft Harder to manage, cannot tp to players in other dimensions (to my knowledge) and I'm sure the server handling all the dimensions could end up in disaster for game play. Dimensional Doors Havent done extensive research on these so im not sure if it would be needed to remove them. reasons sort of fall under the same as mystcraft. More posted in the comments with reasons! Any suggestions for banned items would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for items the bypass Grief prevention and World guard regions. Not really up to date on current items in this mod, been awhile since I've ran a tekkit server. plugins I'm looking for compatible plugins with this version of tekkit, I'm currently trying to run permissions EX but i cannot for the life of me get the prefix's to work. no idea why. but the ranks and perms work 100% fine.

i use the plugin called NoItem, look it up in bukkit. requires some Permissions configing tho. good luck!

Got any errors? more on the problem at all?

Hey guys i just launched my server publicly yesterday and now im getting this error; i don't get it when the world file isn't in it and it makes a new one, any ideas? 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE] java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: buildcraft.api.PowerProvider.receiveEnergy(I)V 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE]at buildcraft.energy.TileEngine.q_(TileEngine.java:126) 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.World.tickEntities(World.java:1189) 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.w(MinecraftServer.java:559) 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:457) 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE]at net.minecraft.server.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:492) 2012-11-24 12:53:37 [sEVERE] Unexpected exception java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: buildcraft.api.PowerProvider.receiveEnergy(I)V at buildcraft.energy.TileEngine.q_(TileEngine.java:126) at net.minecraft.server.World.tickEntities(World.java:1189) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.w(MinecraftServer.java:559) at net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.run(MinecraftServer.java:457) at net.minecraft.server.ThreadServerApplication.run(SourceFile:492) If anyone has any suggestions please help!

Thanks helped me alot man:P

Its good to hear that not all small children are completely insane, but; something you have to know as mature as you say you are. is that its hard for server owners, and administrators to accept that, and that kids with any level of maturity is a very, very rare occurrence :P

I love this statement, i hate when people go around helping others then consistantly ask to be ranked up because they helped once, or on the other hand when someone does recieve rank and they just stop assisting the server in all. its one of the main things i hate about running a server. This; i would follow if i could. I am 17 and i pay rent:P i dont have the money to keep my server up 100% without my donors, and allot of the time no one will donate if they don't receive a little something themselves. i offer different donor ranks(NOT staff rank under any circumstance) for different amounts of money. I also ensure that they do not get an advantage over other players in the means of Pvp. i hate when you go to a server and theres that one douche bag that donated $100 and got access to nukes. completely ruins the server.

Thanks a really great idea, ive been running servers for a year and a half and its aways a major problem when the map resets, witch sometimes is the only option. wish i would have thought of that! XD I 100% agree! i hate people logging in btiching and complaining in the first 10 seconds they are on the server, i feel that is a bannable offence and im glad someone else sees that as well :D

I feel you when it comes to experianced admins, theres nothing i hate more then logging into a server and seeing the [admin] tag littering the chat and there all a bounch of blind fools. As for grey lists, im not sure if i agree with that, your rite; it does offer a better player base but it requires ALOT of managing that any experianced host or staff wouldnt have the time to keep up with because they likely have jobs or other careers to keep up with, great idea tho. i will take this into consideration. Me as an owner, my favorite thing is to watch my comunity grow and thrive, watching the forums stay active is a big part in that. And as for the age, i agree(for the most part) that age is a very big part in most cases. but for example, i am 17 years old. in college for computer engineering and i know more about running a server then allot of people ive come across. i do not run on a normal shared host. i own my own hardware at a data center, i don't just have a click to run server either, my server is ran on centOS and i use unique launch commands to get my server running and keep it running. But in all i can fully understand why you feel more comfortable with an older; more mature owner.
