Announcements / Vote for the Next Modded Minecraft Pack

« on: December 28, 2017, 03:01:52 pm »

Hello everyone!

While we wait for the mods we're going to be using in our next custom pack to update and release stable versions, we're going to be running another pack to hold everyone over since the 1.7.10 pack is starting to get a bit old.

I've taken a look through some popular 1.12.2 packs and put together a short list that you can vote on now.

Packs:

Direwolf20 1.12 (Curse): The popular DW20 modpack, now for 1.12. Minimum of 4GB of RAM required.

Modern Skyblock 2 (Curse): A skyblock pack that does not use the standard Ex Nihilo progression. We will be using the Normal pack mode. Minimum of 4.5 - 5 GB of RAM required

FTB Revelation (Curse): The newest and largest FTB modpack. Mix of magic, tech, and exploration. Minimum of 4GB of RAM and Java 8 required.

Material Energy^Ex: A very small modpack (50 mods) based around "unique combinations of mods[.]"

And of course, if you have a suggestion feel free to let us know!

Modded / 1.10 Update Imminent^TM

« on: September 13, 2017, 08:59:40 pm »

Hello everyone!

I've narrowed down the pack choices and have a final pack in mind.

It is going to be a Gregtech based 1.10 pack. It'll take a little while to put together since 1.10 builds of GT are still being developed, but expect to see some of your favorites from the current server make it in as well, alongside some new ones.

This pack will be harder than the 1.7 pack, but I'm hoping that it'll take longer for people to hit the end game and just give up on playing.

Now time for some mentions to some of our players: @ToxicTeddy @Dragonslayer7516 @xInf3rn0 @Shifty @skygreencat

General Discussion / The Eclipse

« on: August 21, 2017, 08:04:39 pm »

This is a quick little thread to share any experiences or pictures relating to the eclipse earlier today.

Sadly I wasn't able to be within the path of totality so my pictures aren't that good.

I tried to take a picture through my eclipse glasses, but sadly my phone's photosensor couldn't make out the moon at all thanks to the sliver of sun that was visible. (And yes, I checked, it was actually seeing the light and not its own flash  )

Anyone get any neat pictures?

General Discussion / AFK for a while

« on: August 19, 2017, 08:59:44 pm »

Hey everyone, just a heads up that I'm going to be AFK for a while.

It's currently move-in week at my college so I've been real busy getting everything situated. Haven't had a chance to even login to steam at all for most of the past week.

If you need to get in touch with me to restart the server or something my contact info can be found in the SB3 server's board, or you can send myself or @Rain a PM and I'll try and get around to it as soon as I have a chance.

Announcements / [Modded] War Event

« on: August 10, 2017, 04:33:24 pm »

Hey everyone sorry for the short notice, I thought I'd already posted this but I guess I hit the wrong button.

On August 12, 2017, 05:00:00 pm we will be having a PvP War event on the modded server.

During the event siege mode will be allowed on claims. This will let you perform PvP and break "soft" blocks in the claim once you begin a siege. DefenseTech weapons will also be allowed.

A backup will be made 1 hour before the event. After the event the world will be restored to this backup. A world download will be available for players who wish to explore the destruction.

The server will continue to run the pre-event world while we work on a 1.10+ version of the pack.

Announcements / [Modded] The Space Update (Pack Version 1.6.0a)

« on: July 04, 2017, 02:29:55 pm »

Hello everyone, just a quick heads up that the long promised Space update is now live on the modded server.

Space, Yet Another Frontier:
After failing to rub those annoying spots off their telescopes, our scientists have realized that there are planets other than the overworld! Unlike other dimensions these planets will require rockets to reach.

New materials must be discovered in order to create devices capable of withstanding the stress of the journey to these worlds.

The development of rocketry has also lead to a great leap in weapons technology. It is now possible to deliver high-explosive payloads to anywhere in the overworld within seconds.

Changelog:

• Added Advanced Rocketry
• Added Defense Tech
• Added LibVulpes
• Added new MineTweaker scripts

Notes:

• Server rules have been updated. Please check the rules thread for info.
• Rutile ore only spawns in new chunks, so you'll have to explore to find it.
• Rutile ore should process into Titanium. If you somehow end up with Rutile Ingots notify an admin ASAP.
• Unfortunately it seems habitability of planets is mainly pressure based. Since the server's planet setup is based off sb_astria's planets, a decent chunk of the system is breathable since I can't just say there's no oxygen.
• A second star system based on sb_spatium is included, however it only has the gas giant on the server. Single player users may enable the additional planets by using the extra-moons version of planetDefs.xml, included in the pack download.

« on: June 09, 2017, 08:06:49 am »

Enjoy!

Announcements / [Vanilla] Homes Plugin Updated

« on: June 05, 2017, 10:44:23 am »

The homes plugin on the vanilla server has been updated to version 1.1.0.

This update brings the ability to name your homes. Existing homes have a name of "null" due to the update process. A hotfix has been applied, existing homes now show as just their number. Simply go to your home by its own number and run /sethome [number] [desired name] to update them. If you wish to leave them unnamed simply avoid putting a name and it'll return to showing as a number in your homes list.

Announcements / Board Visibility Permissions

« on: May 20, 2017, 03:23:07 am »

So, I've been running some forum reports and noticed that a lot of boards are invisible to certain ranks. I've already begun taking action to fix this. Donators should notice that they are now able to access the Announcements boards. I should have all the ranks fixed by tomorrow.

Sorry about that everyone. Apparently something went wrong with inheriting visibility permissions.

General Discussion / Stars!

« on: May 14, 2017, 07:56:10 pm »

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you guys know about this cheap little game I've found, Stars!. I think it deserves to be a little more known than it is. Maybe we can get enough people here to setup a game ourselves.

Stars! is a really old 4x game from 1995, but despite the age and terrible graphics I've been having a lot of fun with it. It seems to be well balanced and there's a lot of strategy involved. The race design is also quite interesting, there's a whole trait system that determines where you start in the tech tree, and can slightly change what you'll get out of certain research paths.

Game's real cheap, and given its age there's a premade DOSBox image for it. You can find info about getting it here.

Now time for some screenshots:
