SirCarl Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 Now version 1.1.3. URL: server.boltznvoltz.com Points below: Scaling the slot limit when required Nothing banned No abusive admins (there also aren't really any atm ) Keep inventory on death (but can be taken by MFFS) Essentials (+Spawn) enabled Based in US No lag (hopefully... will scale server when requested) Dedicated (I estimate a 1-5% down time) Will be around for a long time (I have the money and knowledge) Factions (due to much demand) Anything is allowed. However, be respectful to other players, use your common sense, and if you are caught duping/x-raying/hacking everything you have will be removed and you will be temp banned. May add more mods as time goes on, so feel free to make requests. This is my first public server, but I'm a 24 y/o web developer, so I should be capable of keeping everything together. Come play. Blow shit up. Have fun. Cheers, SirCarl
Tychoruniko Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Sounds great! I'm trying to find a good Voltz server to play on. I'm a really "Builder" style player, so maybe I could become a regular on your server. As a person interested in construction and design, might I suggest the Chisel mod? Adds a lot of visual variety to building blocks.
SirCarl Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 Hey. That mod looks cool, but this is a PvP server, doesn't really have a place for builders I'm afraid.
Tychoruniko Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah. I figured that out last night. Oh well I will keep looking, thanks.
SirCarl Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Due to demand, I am doubling the CPU and RAM. I am also increasing the player slot limit (from 12) to 16.
Ballistic367 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Yea did the server get updated? what version is it now

SirCarl Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 I have updated the server version to 1.1.4. The reason for this, is that 1.0.11 has it's problems and limitations... no nukes, what's that about? Also modular power armor was rather limited. All up to date now, however, there seems to be an issue that when you disconnect your game will crash... I do not know how to fix this issue, but it's not a huge deal. Will try to get rid of it soon.
SirCarl Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 Dropping back to 1.1.3. Most bombs cause a server crash in 1.1.4...
the_docter0406 Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 what version are we sticking on? 1.1.4. or 1.1.3.
SirCarl Posted April 21, 2013 Author Posted April 21, 2013 The version will remain 1.1.3 until the newest versions are fixed.
the_docter0406 Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 ........what version should my client be? :(
SirCarl Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 Get the latest client. Just manually set the version to 1.1.3. I may update to the latest version eventually, but as I have just learned, the versions need to be careful. Just as a note, no map reset. You may notice a couple of items replaced due to the update, but almost everything else should be the same. Cheers, Carl
SirCarl Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Hey guys, back from holiday, so can finally look into increasing up-time and improving the server. Whilst I was away, server up-time dropped to 88%. However, I have just implemented a server autostart script which will increase the server up-time significantly. I am also going to start looking into adding Factions now, due to many requests for this plugin. Cheers, Carl
SirCarl Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Finished adding in Factions. Also made some changes to help ensure the server's performance is remains high.
Doomzzday01 Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 This looks like a great server. Have you considered a Mojang site? Or is there already one? Edit: Updated to 1.1.3 or whatever it is and now the server's down... :(
SirCarl Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 It was down? Strange. Though it has been down for the past hour and a bit. I have been trying to move the server world over to RAM, which should increase speeds significantly for people. Haven't managed it yet, sleep time. Server is back up though.
Richs_Yard Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 1 2 3 Testing testing 1 2 3 is this post working? Of course it is idiot.
SirCarl Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 I was testing to see what time zone the server posts were. Instead it just says "a moment ago" rather than the actual time.
Richs_Yard Posted April 28, 2013 Posted April 28, 2013 And you didnt know that? Go to your profile and set the timezone to where you live.
doubleawesome Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 is the server down on purpose right now or did it just crash or something??????
SirCarl Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Hey doubleawesome. Yeah server was down the longest period so far. There is a crash which occurs but doesn't shut down the server... have set up notifications on the server which should help me keep an eye on this. As a side note, have also doubled the server's ram to 18Gb and increase CPU power by 50%, so everything should run a lot smoother... I'm also hoping this will help prevent that random crash, but probably just wishful thinking
doubleawesome Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 yeah sircarl i cant connect to the server now because it does the searching for connecting thing but it says cant reach server
SirCarl Posted May 14, 2013 Author Posted May 14, 2013 Oh, hey CaptainBlubs, didn't see this message You probably already know, but the server is up... probably wasn't much down time anyways? Only around 5% lately, which is good for a Voltz server :P
