We have a new host!
Cronie has selected a new host for the server, and is currently working on configuring plugins and so forth. It is impossible to predict exactly when the server will go live, but this is major progress! I gather that he has been working on this pretty much all the time for the last two days.
I recently started a simple bukkit survival server for my kid following (most of whom are not, at this point, grandchildren, but a bunch I've collected over the last almost 2 years of running a kid server) and I can testify that even at the very simple level I'm working with (ONE plugin so far) this is a pretty complicated job. The complexity increases exponentially the more plugins you have. This stuff is NOT user-friendly. I believe that digstraightdown had something like 20 plugins. Luckily Cronie is a lot smarter than I am.
We're not there yet, but Cronie has brought us within sight of the goal.
Yes, it is very complicated. We have a family survival server with designated perks running from my PC with a few plugins. My oldest son needs to help me with it... if he's not here, it takes hours for me to troubleshoot and learn a few things. Sooo, that's pretty much what I've been up to the last few days. Studying it, playing around... added a few things to their world via world edit.
ReplyDeleteCronie Must be a genius!
Thanks for keeping us updated Zorro... you're the best!
I wonder if anyone else is reading this? If you are, stop stalking and write something! haha.. just kidding. :)
....
or maybe not ...
:/
:P
I have no idea who, if anyone, is reading all this, but Cronie gave me the job of putting the information out there. It's like those emails. He sends them, half the time no one reads them, apparently, but no one has the time to go around to everyone's house and force them to check their email....so I guess if I put it out there I'm done!
ReplyDeleteTalked again to Cronie - the conversion is almost complete. I don't think he wants to commit, however, to exactly what "almost" means.... :)
