Modpack Preview - Nether Enhancements

A lot of you will recognise some of the stuff in this screenshot if
you've come across the Natura & Biomes O' Plenty mods...


... but what about the flowers in front of Tatankore...
those are Blaze Flowers added by my main mod!

I created Blaze Flowers as I've personally always found it frustratingly 
hard to get hold of blaze powder or rods on a server, as usually someone 
has beaten you to the fortress and destroyed the only spawner!

There's also another one of my additions in the screenshot but
I won't mention that one for now, it has already appeared in
another screenshot in a slightly different form though!

Tatankore was also wearing armour in this screenshot so you
can get more of a feel for the HUD layout and information.

Modpack Preview - Something Lurking

Something is lurking in the woods...


If you decide to track it down and take it on be careful...
if you're successful though the reward will be worth the risk! 

Jabbawokkey Beats RageMaze!

Jabbawokkey is the first player to complete the improved RageMaze!

On top of the flag at the end of the maze.

Looking down from the top!

 A glimpse of Stage 4.

Congratulations!

Industrial Diamonds & Minigames

By popular demand I have added sell signs to the 'bases' in the MarbleEnd minigame so that you can sell any Industrial Diamonds you receive whilst in the game.

I have also added a sell sign to the final stage of RageMaze as well as the ends of both Parkour101 and ParkourPro!

Enjoy!

RageMaze Reopened!

RageMaze has now been reopened!

The whole maze has been changed around and the top section has been rebuilt virtually from scratch with two new stages added, some of the big changes are aimed at making the maze more varied and spicing up the PvP aspect when using it in multiplayer versus mode.

Good luck!

RageMaze Temporarily Closed

The RageMaze minigame has been closed temporarily for an overhaul.

With so many players having memorized the best route/s we decided it was time to change it around, it should reopen in a couple of days.

Modpack Previews

I will be adding regular previews of the pack from now until it's finally released!

We hit a major landmark with the modpack yesterday, 'Diggys Mobs' my second 
custom mod is now completely stable and has been added to the pack!

So here is the first of the regular previews...

Ever think the standard mobs are too easy to kill? 

Especially if you have a decent set of armour?

If so you'll love the challenge of this fairly rare mob...


He behaves much like a zombie but is always fully armoured,
faster, more aggressive and can take much more damage.

If your not well equipped and your unlucky enough to come across
one your going to want to run, there's no walking away from them! 

(And yes that's an altered Herobrine skin!)

For now the mod contains 5 mobs, 2 using a custom model and 
4 with custom sounds, I intend to add more in time 
though even after the modpack is released!

  1. Full backup/clone - Done.
  2. Clear out old data - Done.
  3. Reset The Nether - Done.
  4. Mod patching - Done.
  5. Test patches  - Done.
Scheduled Downtime:

Started: 8:30 am (UK)

*Update - 09:20: There is currently a major network outage in central London which is affecting our hosting company, the backup is over 90% complete but I am unable to finish it or carry out the rest of the maintenance until the network issue is resolved. I will update here when I know more.

*Update - 09:40: Apparently this is the second outage this morning so if you couldn't connect earlier this morning you now know why! I'm not sure if the issue is completely resolved but I have managed to reconnect and am continuing the backup, I will probably have to extend the downtime a little though.

*Update - 09:50: I've added 30 minutes to the finish time, the network outage does seem to be mostly resolved now but the connection is still a little slower than usual.

*Update - 10:30: All done, the server is back up and the whitelist has been removed!

Modpack Delay

As many of you know I'm currently in the last 18 months of a degree, my workload until October is over 60 hours a week so I'm afraid the modpack is progressing a lot slower than I would have liked.

The original intention was for it to be launched this month however my mod still requires some work to get it to the point we need it at and some of the plugins still need a significant amount of tweaking, all in all I probably still have 5000+ lines of code to write and test plus a few hundred lines of config to tweak.

I will continue to work on it as time permits but until my workload eases off in October it will be difficult to get the bulk of the work done, come October however I should be able to finish things off fairly quickly so it should still launch well before the end of 2014.

As usual keep an eye on the Modpack section of the site for the latest news and updates, feedback so far has been very positive so hopefully when it does launch everyone will agree it has been worth the wait!

For now here's another little preview, this time something I've put together for the new casino, introducing the YogSlot...

RM Star Unbanned!

Thanks to the plugin update this morning I've been able to slow the RM Star down to a usable speed, so it is no longer banned!

Obviously the maximum charge is set to zero to keep the speed in check, but it's still very useful as a multi-tool.

Enjoy!

Scheduled Downtime / Major Plugin Update

There will be a scheduled maintenance on Monday as follows:
  1. Full backup/clone.
  2. Clear out old data.
  3. Remove BuyCraft.
  4. Upgrade TekkitRestict.
  5. Test TekkitRestict.
Scheduled Downtime:
Date: 04/08/14
Est Start: 9:15 am (UK)
Est Finish:  11:45 am (UK)

*Rescheduled from 8:15 start to 9:15 start.

Please Note:


The developer of TekkitRestrict has released a major new version which includes many improvements, several of which we have requested over the last year so we will be upgrading and testing it as part of this scheduled maintenance. 

Being such a major upgrade there may be bugs so even though we will test everything we can there may still be issues, hopefully nothing serious but we will have everything ready to revert back to the old version if something big comes up after a few days etc.

I've scheduled the downtime for 2.5 hours, but depending how the testing goes it may be shorter, hopefully it wont be any longer though!
