Neowulf

My viking DNA demands examples.

Wait, crap... I just remembered my retirement portfolio is heavily invested in wooden clog futures. My account is ruined, FC has ensured my twilight years are spent eating cat food for sustenance and burning family heirlooms for warmth...

Wait, looping the same post? And I know that posting structure... Trollbot v3.39! We thought you were deleted when those blackops agents attacked the Moroccan research base! How did you survive the EMP when they had all the network ports cut?

Casual racist? I learned my russian from my uncle Jerry. He's a linguistics genius, able to speak any language in the world just by drinking their alcohol. It took years of family reunions to get him drunk enough on vodka for me to learn it all.

Ignoring my reply couldn't possibly be a passive aggressive insult because I didn't break the forum rules and bend over backwards to do all the work for your lazy ass. No, this is obviously a language barrier issue. Here, let me translate my previous message in your native tongue, though I am quite rusty. I do hope that helps.

You're running an AD domain? ... WHY?!? Seriously, it looks like you just went through the motions of creating a domain out of a textbook intro because it looked cool. You lack any understanding of how it actually works and are making assumptions to fill in the gaps instead of looking stuff up. Either drop your domain and figure out the basic services you NEED (not just look cool) individually, or take a MCSA cert class set and let a professional figure out what you're babbling about.

If only there were a place for questions like this. You know, like a shop type setup where people with server operator experience could swap bits of knowledge about... http://technicpack.net/forums/forums/server-op-swap-shop.65/ Whoa, where's that link come from? Where do you think it leads?

AHH! Zombie thread, ZOMBIE THREAD! KILLITBEFOREITBITES!

Not a bad place for this. Check the Requests subforum of Modders Metropolis, this is exactly why it was created. Might already be an idea in there you take a fancy to.

Dude, history... This thing started up back in the 60's, expanded a lot in the 70's and 80's, and added the WWW system in december 1990. It wasn't commercialized till 1995, but I had a dialup terminal connection to a nasa server with lynx, gopher, telnet, and some other stuff back in 1991. Damn I feel old...

It's better if you read up on registering a domain before you do anything else. Just do a google search for it and look around. Though frankly you should just register with a host and build your site on it. If you don't know how to get a domain setup then you definitely don't know enough about securing your server so hackers don't hijack your machine as a spam relay and image search trap. You'll get your internet connected shutdown really quickly if they find malware traffic coming from your machine.

I've been online long enough that my screen name is older than most college kids. That behavior is by far the most common for pre-teens when they discover the wonders of anonymity.

Yes, you have to go through a domain registrar for your domain name to be added to the TLDs and be known to actual DNS servers. If it worked like you've tried then every spammer would be broadcasting out that their servers are where google.com should resolve to.

What, never seen a 12 year old online before?

"China will grow strong." "We build fo China." Played more RA and RA2 than generals, but all the C&C games are awesome.

If minecraft was rewritten in java to be actually decent, then yes they would be comparable. But a straight up rewrite right now to C++ would require them to get some actual coding talent, so the end result would be a lot faster than what we currently have. There's still an order of magnitude of difference between "Compile, wait for errors, run, hope it starts, check my changes" and "Hit run, hope it starts, check changes". You get your changes out the gate faster with java, so it's easier to debug said changes. Also, please don't use ancient and quadcore in the same sentence... Ancient is old P3-233 I still have laying around because it was the first computer I bought myself. Yes, I'm well aware C++ can be compiled cross platform, I've been aware of that since I started with it 15 years ago. I accept that Major may be an exaggeration, but I also know that if minecraft had been written in C++ originally, it would be single platform. Frankly I'm surprised Notch didn't accidentally find a way to make it single platform in java... IIRC, the quake mods were supported by ID and had access to the source, or atleast part of it. I do remember looking through the source of one Q2 mod and being completely blown away. Yes, but that requires the skill and foresight that's frankly in short supply at mojang.

I assume this would be to trigger a teleport command or god mode so the person doesn't take damage. Easymode lava.

Good to get the other side's story in something like this. And despite what slowpoke may have told you, the technic forums don't punish people for affiliations. All warnings, bans, and such are dependent entirely on the actions of the person. No one gets silenced for disagreeing, and I'm sure you'll have a much different take on the state of FTB and it's launcher than others on here. Keep it calm and I for one would love to have a dev's inside take on a situation, less misinformation.

2 year ago I think? No clue what version, I just putted around till I got bored and tried making a bukkit server. After a couple months of that I got bored again and was about to quit until that mine little pony tekkit video was released.

Why would this be the wrong place?

I'm not a fan of prebuilt machines. Always more expensive than DIY and chock full of preinstalled bloat. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=30000007%20600090100&IsNodeId=1&name=Full%20Solutions Pick a price range then post links to the packages you think look reasonable. From there we can explain the pros/cons and how much bang you'll get. Budget $150 or so to get windows, or if you can swing a student discount for win7 somewhere go with that. To actually build it you can either do it yourself (slowly and carefully), or find a friend who is willing to do it for you (might need a bribe, beer is always good if you're both of drinking age).

True, it could work. But there's a couple things to consider. 1: Ticking it means a quick sanity check when the block is loaded into the world. Since it would be able to process join/leave events and change state only when the block is loaded. 2: There are a LOT of events: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Forge_Events If you set the tickrate long enough for the block it could be cheaper CPU wise to tick it than adding more subscribers to the event system. 3: I see an event for an entity joining the world (EntityJoinWorldEvent, which covers ALL entitys: projectiles, tileentitys, mobs, and players), but I don't see a leave event. Forge may not support that sort of tracking yet.

I do believe you mean "some to create this mod". Only need it made once. This looks like a really good first mod for someone looking to start modding. It's pretty much grunt work that touches basic blocks, crafting recipes, tileentites, and a small assortment of useful tidbits.

Hrm. I think the easiest way to do this would be to create a block that outputs a redstone signal based on the online status of a given player. Block plus tile entity, have the tileentity record the player who placed it into an NBT tag, and randomtick it to check the online status of said player, changing redstone signal state as needed. No need to mess with a gui or slash commands, just break and replace the block if you need to change who it's bound to. The block could be a simple one, no need for facing or sided textures. For bonus points you could give it two skins and use the block's metadata to change the skin and light output based on the state.

What's your minimal budget?
