Finally got around to updating the plugin list and version numbers, holy $%#$% you see that in minecraft!

Also finally got around to updating the Texture pack page, i noticed a few flaws with the pack, a few textures that are off a bit. still need to fix that.

also updated all spout stuff, provided you use the advanced options and select use the latest dev release of spoutcraft, you can now log in and it works.

Until the addon api for spoutcraft is Standard* and a few of the single player enhancements are added i wont force people to use it.

ran into some form of a loop and it was killing performance, its since been fixed and the server is once again running lean. 40 ticks per second and lower ram usage.

Added some new plugins, XPSHOP and Craftpedia

XPshop allows for the purchase of xp via the ingame money system. "/xpShop buy amount"

craftpedia allows for the lookup of recipes via the chat window. "/recipe Blockname"

also updated a ton of plugins and fixed a ton of configs for 1.0.1

big ones were BOSEconomy and spout essentials.

I got the Server updated to 1.0.1-R1 support.

Some of our plugins no longer work and might not ever be updated.

1. Ambient Seasons
2. Jukebukkit
3. MagicSpells
4. PaintingSwitch

Some of them are removed.

1. Worldguard (overhead was too high)
2. NoLagg (because it sucked and didnt work well)
3. effective arrows (dev isnt updating it)
4. Banrecipe (no need for it)
5. Vegetation (makes me sad! no longer supported)
6. TreeFall (replaced with treeassist)
   

Some New Plugins were added though!

1. TreeAssist - Makes trees Auto replant and grow, also if you destroy the bottom block of a tree the whole tree will fall.
2. Backup - it saves the entire folder to another location for backup purposes!
3. CreeperHeal - Replaced worldguard, makes it so creepers blow up again BUT the damage auto repairs
4. Disposal Chest - makes garbage bins that delete unwanted items!
5. PickBoat - makes it so boats drop from destoryed boats... instead of wood splinters.
6. Spawnmobs - allowes admins to pop animals incase we get low
7. Ptweaks - improves server performance (replace nolagg, because this actually works)
   

Just got deathcontrol and cookiemonster setup again.
need to setup multiverse, jail, noenderman, and a few others... ill keep you updated.

we still run a White list so only people that are trusted gain entrance

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have expanded the map to 2000x2000 blocks and generated all the chucks possible. This has all the new terrain from 1.8.1 outside of the core 1000x1000

hope this tides you over until 1.9 when we start an all new map from scratch.

We have Updated to the 1.8.1 update and spout/craft 1.0.6. all plugins are functional except the inventory on pet wolfs at the moment.

please update spoutcraft and then update minecraft.

DL Link: here

In order to try and fix the issues caused by the latest update i had to totally destroy the old permissions and recreate an all new set. The consequences are: Some abilities might now work for you, if this is the case document it and email or tell me. so i can look into why it was broken for you and fix it.

I am only one person and this was a very difficult and long process that took hours and hours of my time, so please don't just start yelling about broken stuff.

I will fix issues as they are addressed.

a spout update killed some plugins waiting for fixes, if you notice something doesnt work let me know.

I will soon make all new documents with reference sheets you can print out for use. in the mean-time read below and check the commands and permissions tab for printable lists that suck, for now.

A Full working economy is in place now

BOSEconomy with Wurkit, and CookieMonster

Income:

1. You will make 1000 Gil every game day
2. every 8 game day hours you get paid for the work you completed, 3 gil per block mined, and 1 gil per block placed.
   
3. every mob(enemy) you kill you get paid.
4. Soon Wurk Areas will be defined and Bonus gil will be paid for working in those areas.
   

Cost:

1. Blacksmith shop is open near the general shop. repairs any and all armors or tools.
2. death now costs money be careful.
3. Mobarena costs 500 gil to enter but mobs inside drop gil, you could easily triple your money.
4. Spout backpacks Start with 9 slots for use, if you type "/bp info" it will inform you how much the next upgrade will cost. Use "/bp upgrade" to spend gil to upgrade to the next size. Sizes are 9, 18, 27, 32, 45. (admins and mods are able to upgrade to 54 slots for 10,000 Gil once you have reached the 45 slot size).
   

Hit "B" to open your backpack & to see your money [top left of screen].

to shop left click a showcase platform (item for sale) and then hit "t" to bring up the typing console, type the number you want to buy and hit enter.

You can now use the Pocket Crafting Table (3x3 grid) Hit "N" to open it exactly the same as a crafting table you just need t o build and place one to use it.

You now have access to Effective Arrows (higher damage output) use the ", [comma] and . [period]" keys to cycle arrows. Iron ingot required for Iron arrows(2x damage) and Diamonds Required for Razor Arrows (3x damage)

Can Create Shops, lay down a half block (slab) put the item you want to sell in your hand. Hold "Shift" key and Right-click the mouse on the slab to open a help menu. hit "T" and type "finite" as the type, Hit "Enter". Then hit "T" again to type the price you want to charge.

You can now automatically sort your invintory by typing hitting the "S" Key.

Mob Arena Now has bosses and swarm waves, better loot drops, Gil per kill, and if you can make it to round 16 and defeat the megaboss a whole set of diamond armor and a diamond sword, along with a ton of gil... Good Luck!

You Can now Consume Milk and Water from buckets to heal your self (for sale at the pub)

Global markets are open all over the damn place. General Store, Deli and Bakery, Blacksmith Shop, Pub, and the Church Gift Shop.

Dynmap is all new with Major upgrade to its render and tile engine, much much faster and better looking

Coming soon: new mob arena classes - "The Sniper", "The Engineer", "The Wizard", and "The Paladin"

i want to drop a special thank you to skawke for adding cloud height adjustments to essentials. THANK YOU SIR!!

Dynmap is now back up and using a new MUCH faster rendering engine, also using 7x compression as well so maps should be really fast.

fixed ambient seasons to use 14 days instead of 28

please delete the texture packs in /appdata/roaming/.spout/texturepacks, the new ones will auto download.

if the /spout HUD command doesn't respond re-log and it will take effect.

This will be a TON of work for me but i love it and you'll love it more! here are the things you'll soon see...

How Exciting!

PermissionsEX & Ichat

I decided that since the new server is up and running i better get the more crucial things i wanted to implement up and running since you all are going to be on more than usually i hope, which is great but hard to implement new plug-ins; Install plugin, reboot, create configs, reboot, test all the commands and permissions, fix trouble ones reboot... see what i mean.

I added permissions so i can allow you more access or less based on your requests, instead of oping everyone so they can do w/e they want and possibly, accidentally destroy other peoples work.

I also installed ichat which allows for chat radius' and the ability to add color to chat windows and names. seems like a cool item, so i added it since its compatible with permissionsEX.

I have added Choptree, this plugin makes taking down trees a lot more realistic, when you want to chop down a tree, you MUST use and axe of any kind and destroy the base(bottom) log and the whole tree will yield (drop blocks) leaves will decay over time, leave them.. hehe

I have also implemented a fence protection plugin to keep people from re-entering the arenas after they're moved to spectator locations. (currently only affects memebers, not VIP or higher)

There are now commands to move your inventory to a chest for arena/mining simplification.
The commands are listed in the current command/permissions log below.

I also Added LWC (Light wieght Control) By use of the "/lwc -c " Command you can lock any chest door or hatch to be public or private; Public allows you to create a community chest that only Members or higher promotional status can enter and remove items, but only the owner can destroy, Private allows a person chest or doors that keep items safe from everyone but the Owner.

Added LWC aliases:

New alias---------------------- Replaces CMD-------------------Function-------------
/cpublic ---------------------- /lwc -c public ------------------Creates public access
/cpassword --------------/lwc -c password---------------Creates Password Access
/cprivate ---------------------/lwc -c private-----------------Creates Private Access

Today i spent a great deal of time reading about minecraft and found there is a serious problem with its net code and the best way to help it along is to prioritize packets, so thats what i did, i disabled a few "extra" security features that increase ping and added a On-Line Game QoS Policy for the port that minecraft runs on, hopefully lowering the ping that much more for you guys, let me know how its running.

PortalStick - adds all the components of portal to mind craft

UPDATE:
updated the server to build #993 several fixes including a huge memory leak filled.

LANDMARKS:
Our Dynamic map now supports landmarks! woot! - check it out

SEASONS:
Our server now has configurable seasons, currently i have seasons to Spring,summer,fall, and winter... Spring is dry, summer is rainy, fall is dry / thunderstorms, winter is snowy.
Each season lasts 10 days and weather lasts 12 hours.
seasons are not biome independant: to you noobs that means in the cold sections of the map it snows during rainy season and rains in the grassy areas. its not the whole map (maybe a future release.)

WOOL COLOR SELECTOR:
added the ability to cycle the color of wool by use of the mouse wheel.
Look at a block of wool you set down and scroll the mouse wheel to change the color.

For more info go to the server information tab and look up plugins.

PAINTING SWITCHER:
added the ability to cycle the paintings on the wall to help make decorating faster, no more add destroy and hope you get the right one!

NICK NAMES:
added the feature to rename a player from their Minecraft.net login to something else.

LOOKING FORWARD:
Future Add-On's may include cauldrons and/or Better IC's [(integrated Circuits) IE: bridges and draw bridges, elevators, huge doors, etc]

possible flight(jet) pack for monument/pixel art building.. who knows.

add suggestions and comments if you'd like longer/shorter seasons or anything else.
