[Minecraft] MotK Minecraft Server ( New Server IP )

[MatsuriSakuragi]

So...erm, why can't I log on to the server now? It says it's outdated. :x

[Dr.Strafe]

Yeah. If you update to 1.8, then you can't access the server. It might be a few days before we update the server, so you'll need to go back to 1.7.3 until then... Sorry!

[MatsuriSakuragi]

Well, damn. Mind explaining how to do that, please? :x

[Cadmas]

Download the older version and not update it? :V

[DX7.EP]

EDIT- I decided to check out 1.8 myself.. We're definitely going to need to generate a new map for all of the goodies. Hopefully, Notch will release a patch that will generate other biomes (especially snow) relatively quickly. I don't really want to wait until 1.9..... but we'll see.

I'd rather put that in a new world and link it via Multiverse instead of mass schematic imports all over again.

[Dr.Strafe]

Hm... Is there a way to regress to a previous version without having to download someone else's .jar?

I believe that's our current plan. However, I'm skeptical about the new chunks generated in the current world once we update. I know that people have been expanding the borderlands to help combat this issue, but the world file just keeps on growing. Not to mention, they've been leaving gaps in their exploration..

I'm not fully against doing another massive schematic import. However, I'd like to wait until all of the updates that call for a world restart take place. I'm not sure if we'll be able to run and/or keep multiple worlds. Ideally, I'd like us to all be on one map. But while 1.8-1.9 and all their quirks stabilize, we'll maintain dual worlds... if possible. After that, I'd see about another import session.

[Dr.Strafe]

Well, damn. Mind explaining how to do that, please? :x

-Find your Minecraft installation folder (c:/Users/<your name>/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft)
-Inside, you'll find a folder marked "bin". Open that.
-Now, find "minecraft.jar" and either delete it or move it to a different folder. (this is your 1.8 .jar, so you might want to save it. Up to you)
-Replace it with the 1.7.3 .jar that I've provided here.

I hope this works, as I've never done this before. Let me know how this turns out.

Edit- Mission Accomplished. File has been removed.

[Cykyrios]

It should work, that's what I did to switch between 1.7.3 and 1.8 pre-release.

[MatsuriSakuragi]

It worked quite well, actually. Thanks!

Pfft, everyone knows a bedrock jail is best.

Good point with the exploration bit.

I'd update to 1.8 as soon as the EXP orb mega-lag bug (which allows anyone to pull the 2000 sapling crap very easily) gets fixed and Optifine gets updated, probably 1.8.1.

Dual worlds is a bit annoying (looks at Sphere before it turned to griefer's prison) but fun, so that idea is good. This time, however, I'd recommend that players keep their assets on 1.7.3 world and use 1.8 one primarily for exploration, mining, and blowing up NPC villages for failing lighting. This would also reduce the occurrence of 1.7.3 and 1.8 chunk conflicts on the main world through exploration encouragement elsewhere (somewhat like Sphere again, minus the version clash).

I'd actually rather wait for 1.9 (the 'full' Adventure update) for considering the idea of a mass world replacement, given some of 1.8's world generation quirks (no snow biomes, limited strongholds). Then I think we can delete old 1.8 world and old Nether, insert new patched 1.9 versions, and then go back to importing issues so that the 1.7.3 world, which would probably be quite stagnant at this point, can be retired.

EDIT:

+ The game now keeps track of damage sources and types

OH YES. This could mean we can also put all the PVP death messages from a while back! Along with the new ones Strafe added (Critical Shift Fail error, poor Demoman skills, etc.)

[Nicole Artist]

Well, this is looking, very complicated

[Dr Rawr]

Well it doesnt matter to me, as long as we implement 1.8 some how  :3

What's going on? When i try to get on the server i get all sorts of errors. I have gotten "Bad Login", "End of Stream" and "java.net.socketexception". And the thing is i was on just an hour or two( or perhaps three) ago.

Did you upgrade to 1.8 yet? Server's still on 1.7.3.

[Molten]

Im still on 1.7.3

[DX7.EP]

Try exiting MC fully and re-logging back in. That works fine for me.
Otherwise, check network connection.

[Molten]

I have fully closed MC and tried again, nothing new. And there's not supposed to to we anything wrong with my internet/network atm.

[DX7.EP]

Tested here, and I'm getting it too.
Is the server refusing to accept connections?

EDIT: I tried going through 1.8 and its new Server Browser - it says 'Communication error'. I get 'End of Stream' when trying to connect (I'd normally get 'Outdated server!' instead). Livefeed works fine, so I doubt it's a server shutdown.
EDIT2: OK, we will need a new world much sooner than we thought if we plan on going to 1.8.x. DDR warned us well!

[Dorakyura]

I've Updated to 1.8 to take a look into the new stuff and the creator mode (TNT is really fun ^^)
I returned to 1.73 with the restore function of windows 7 and I get the same error as you two

[DX7.EP]

I got in the server just now. Maybe things were a bit shaky at the time.

[Agent of the BSoD]

I can't get into minecraft.net at all. (internet is ok apparently)

EDIT: Nevermind. Works now. Got in the server fine as well.

[Dinosaur]

Hey Loverbutts!!

So I think spawn needs a name, especially when we put in the metro (rail tracks).I really wouldn't call it like a city name since it is a neutral area.

My proposal would call spawn "The Center".

 I know it is a bit conventional because major cities always have "the center" and then the surrounding regions but I just lurv the name!!

[Ace the Fighter]

i just updated to 1.8. haven't been on the fourm recently so i didn't know that the update and our map were not compatable.... crap

[Dr.Strafe]

Hm... I see the connection issues that you guys are talking about. I rebooted the server, but that made no difference. This has to be some hiccup with Minecraft.net, most likely due to how the server connection structure changed with 1.8.

We just might have to update the server to 1.8 anyway just so we can access it. D: Odd, since I had no trouble this morning.

Hopefully, the issue will resolve itself.

Spoiler:

Sure. Like that's ever happened before.

welll....atleast...ENDERMEN
But strafe, what will we do about snow?

[Dinosaur]

Soo should I update to 1.8? Or will I not get access to the our world?

[DX7.EP]

But strafe, what will we do about snow?

I think this affects only new chunks that are generated by 1.8.

Soo should I update to 1.8? Or will I not get access to the our world?

Update once the server does so. Until then don't.
