[Guide/Brainstorming] Setting up a semi-professional Bukkit Voltz Server/Plugin Discussion

[StarRift 4]

By "semi-professional" I mean 75 percent functional plugins, just so you don't feel mislead. Literally, it seems like the decent Voltz Bukkit servers out there purposely withhold  import information, recommended plugin versions, and good tactics/advice. So for the first five days or so of starting my crappy server, I will provide and share information that got me this far. Really, I am making this thread for the better knowledge and understanding for the other poor souls like me who got knee-deep in this mess without knowing how complicated it would be getting plugins working on a 1.5.2 build server that also happens to be modded. I don't know for sure, but this may or may not also apply to tekkit lite and quite possibly tekkit classic. Let me know if it does. First off, you want to have a look at this if you haven't already: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

Below are a list of plugins I use, the download links and other related helpful information I can provide you with. [keep in mind there is probably more information, feel free to post better versions or advice. I will update as needed]

Plugins:

Working:

 

-Essentials

Known Bugs: /kit create and /kit doesn't work properly. PM me if you know a fix! I will update it here.

Recommended (working) version: [LATEST] Essentials Reloaded 2.13.1

Download:  http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/essentials/files/

 

-CraftIRC

Works great! just make sure you know how to work IRC.

Recommended Version: Latest

Download: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/craftirc/

 

-Factions

Small bugs, /f map does not read worldguard safezones and warzones. Probably just not configured on my end.

Recommended version: 1.8.2

Download: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/factions/files/53-1-8-2/

 

-WorldEdit

Known bugs: //wand doesn't work, however spawning a wooden axe does. //set 0 or air doesn't work. //set fire does with rain turned on.    NOTE: Worldedit not interacting with modded blocks is NOT a bug! Check your configs!

Recommended Version:(server console states unknown)

Download: https://github.com/sk89q/worldedit/

**EDIT** This comes with worldguard!

 

-Multiverse-Core/multiworld

Buggy: Plugin loads fine however it CANNOT load/import worlds for some reason. If you know the fix to this, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

I spent all day yesterday experimenting with different versions, attempting to import/load worlds manually, etc. No success. 

 

-PermissionsEx

Works fine and dandy with no issues.

Recommended Version: Current

Download: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/permissionsex/files/

 

This is it for now! Any other info regarding these plugins would be appreciated. I will regularly keep this post updated as I go
