I was originally gonna post last night, but I ended up being a little busier catching up on things than I thought I would be. First off, I'm not dead, so that's always good. Second off, I'm still a little busy catching up on classwork, but I'll try to get the servers back up ASAP. I ended up back at the hospital on Tuesday morning, and I was there until yesterday afternoon. As far as I have managed to better so far, the server box crapped itself at some point overnight on Monday/ Tuesday, and the friend I asked to start it back up for me couldn't get the servers running correctly. I'll be taking a look at it when I get home tonight, so hopefully I'll have it running for tomorrow.

He and the people that were stealing for him have all been banned, and I apologize for not having it taken care of sooner. For the record (this goes for everyone), if there are no ops/ admins on and you are having issues, I can usually take care of things pretty quickly from my phone. Just send me a PM on here with specifics, and I'll try to take care of it ASAP. Edit: It's also generally a bad idea to try and grief the spawn area in revenge for your friends being banned. It takes me a grand total of about 5 minutes to restore it from the backup, but it gives me about 20 minutes worth of laughing at the butthurt 12 year olds. Don't bother trying to appeal the bans either, I have no sympathy towards anyone who acts like they just graduated from preschool.

So I don't know what the hell happened, but the permissions went apeshit in Voltz when I tried to add in /home and /spawn. I'm working on trying to fix it, but the combination of BukkitForge and PEX results in a buggy as fuck nightmare scenario... Edit: I'm gonna just scrap PEX tomorrow morning and see if GroupManager works any better. PEX is making me want to give myself a lobotomy with a corkscrew.

Should be fixed FOR REAL now, I forgot to add modifyworld.* to the default rank. (and apparently had to disable the Essentials antibuild shit)

First off, sorry about the second big delay, I had yet another hospital visit to deal with, but I should be ok now. Bad news first - I have no idea how the fuck how it happened, but the partition the Voltz server is on got corrupted after I tried using MCEdit to remove the Quantum Battery Boxes. So, as much as I REALLY hate to say it, that world is gone. I do have the server back up now on a new world, and if you would like your items replaced, I'd be willing to help you out and I'm sure Garrett would be as well. The GOOD news is pretty good news indeed - I set up BukkitForge on the Voltz server and added in most of the plugins that are currently on the Tekkit server. I think I managed to get just about everything set up, but obviously let me know if I missed anything. I also set up Dynmap for the Voltz server (for anyone worried about it, just type /dynmap hide in game and your icon will be hidden, and if your structure is visible on the map, it'll be visible on the minimap in game too). The main post is updated with the new IP's. I also finished going through the backlog of applications, so for anyone who was waiting on a response, you should have received one by now. If you haven't, please send me a (possibly second) PM, and I'll get to it ASAP. The same goes for anyone who had questions/etc that I didn't get to. All in all, things should be getting back to normal now that yours truly is alive and no longer going into cardiac arrhythmia on a regular basis .

I apologize for the lack of responses/ updates over the last 2 days, I've been at the hospital, but I should finally be back home by tonight. I'll run a pass through on the Voltz world to get rid of any quantum battery boxes. I'll also go through any applications that I've missed as well as try to get back to anyone that's messaged me. Also, I'm gonna put my Skype name in the main post so that anyone who needs immediate assistance has a more direct way of contacting me.

You guys might need to download the latest version of the launcher. I know mine didn't auto update to the newest version, probably because it looks like there was a significant rewrite.

I can just get the item I'd and remove them with the editor. I'll do that later tonight.

It's updated to 1.1.3 now, although I'm crashing every time I try to join. Not sure if it's just me, but I'll try to figure it out (it LOOKS like something to do with the quantum battery boxes).

Also, I just finished going through all of the applications that I haven't gone through yet, so if you haven't received a response until now, please check your private messages.

Would people prefer me to downgrade the Voltz server back to the latest recommended version or use Chreaker's workaround?

Are you using Volts 1.0.13 or 1.1.0? The server is running 1.1.0, while the current recommended version is (IIRC) 1.0.11 or 1.0.13.

So I'm stupid... I forgot to set the IP to static on the new server rig when I moved everything over, so the IP changed when I moved everything yesterday. The new IP can be found on the 1st post of the thread.

The server SHOULD be running now, I actually got it set up and running again right before going to bed last night. Also, I apologize in advance to anyone who still hasn't gotten a response to their application, I've been a little busy over the past 2 days but I'll make some time tonight to go through them. Edit -it does look like it's down on my mobile admin app, I'll check it as soon as I get home (should be <30 minutes).

I guess I should have said today instead, I assumed people would realize I posted that last night at 1 AM. Anyway, it's taking me a lot longer than I thought it would to clean everything up and get everything moved, but I should still have it done before midnight (EST).

Just to give you guys a heads up, both servers will be down for part of the day tomorrow while I'm busy redoing part of the room the server is in.

Not sure what happened with Clone and Tar, but I didn't do anything and I don't think Chreaker or Ranz did either. I just finished building a small neutral zone at spawn with a little building for negotiations.

I know, there are a lot more than 20 people, but a lot of them tend to play at completely different times.

Both servers still have plenty of space, I don't think we've hit the actual online limit yet.

I feel there's a need to reiterate a few of the basic rules for some of the new players. So, for those of you new to the server, if you start begging for items as soon as you join, you WILL be banned. In addition, if you go around handing out collectors/ MFSU's/ etc. to new players, you will also be banned.

Go into the options menu on the Technic Launcher and select the 1.1.0. If it won't let you do that, delete the launcher as well as the folder in your appdata folder and then redownload the launcher.

The Voltz server has been updated to 1.1.0, so please set your launchers to the correct version before trying to connect.

This is the best thread ever. Maybe try looking at the last time the OP actually logged into the forums...

But now we build for the motherland, so it all worked out in the end.

LOL, you missed the part the other night when I was yelling "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT"... that's what you REALLY don't want to hear. ESPECIALLY when it's preceded by Garrett asking why I spawned in a nuclear missile... Voltz, ladies and gentlemen.
