Official SMBX Minecraft Server *Now Live!*

[Danny]

Am I still whitelisted?

Entire whitelist was wiped when the server went down, I think I might have a backup when I backed up the world, but I'm not sure.

[HenryRichard]

As for trolling, I'm kind of on the fence about that, I'd probably say no unless it's all in good fun as stated previously, I just don't think making people deliberately frustrated for all good fun is really that entertaining. We'll see though.

Well Deoxys looks like we can't fill someone's stone brick/cobblestone house with silverfish blocks.

...As much as I would personally love all the XP I would get I'm not sure how you would manage to acquire those legitly.

An excessively large amount of pistons. We'll spend around seventeen hours to annoy someone for five seconds.
I'm a genius.

Ohhh that makes sense as to why we're asking for names again. Kk.

[Danny]

So, April Fools set aside, this is on an all serious note and whatnot.

I've gone and acquired the people that will be part of the new staff team, although this staff team isn't entirely complete, it consists of Vinyl Scratch, SilverDeoxys563, and XerX/Blank, that's only so far, I may be looking for one other staff member, but I'm not entirely sure who I've settled on yet, I've really been choosing people I know and trust that would be on the server often, not all the time, but often, just so they can help out if I'm not on or if I need assistance in something.

First off I'd like to address that my video card keeps overheating, causing my computer to crash. This only seems to happen with certain 3D games, notable examples being The Sims 3 and Dota 2 so far, I haven't tested it out on any other games save for Cities: Skylines, in which it has no problems at all. I'm not entirely sure if Minecraft will crash my computer, but if it does, I'll have to either work around that, or I'll have to attempt to acquire a new video card, either using an older, worse-r one I own, or buying a full new one, which is a lot of money that I don't have.

Second, I have some games and equipment I really want to buy soon. The first game being Grand Theft Auto V, and the other real game being Magic 2014, a copy for both my and Vinyl, though you didn't need to know that. Among equipment I want to buy, a 3DS would be nice, but I'm also looking at getting a brand new microphone, and also a new computer, although the latter I may be able to obtain without purchasing. This will cost me a lot, throwing the server costs up there, so bear with my financial capabilities.

Now, I should be able to get enough funds to supply the server with some months of up-time, not sure how many months, but hopefully it's for the whole year. What I'm thinking of doing is taking a cheaper approach and having a 20 player server as opposed to the 25 player server we had previously, it's cheaper not by a lot, but the extra money will help me go through with my plans of purchasing a lot of other things.

So, bearing my financial capabilities in mind, I should be able to have the server set up, mod and plugin free, for almost the entire year, which is good. The costs of this though would be not having the multiple worlds, as looking at the options I'm given, it would cost more to set up multiple worlds, unfortunately.

On the bright side of things, we'll have the server up for a longer time period! I'm looking at hosting some events after everything settles down on the server, and I might even set up a Teamspeak or Ventrilo server if desired, though I'll probably stick to Skype if the Teamspeak/Ventrilo server isn't reliable or used often, just something I'd like to throw out there.

Sorry for the wait, but I've been busy and unable to tend to the server much, I speculate an opening (grand-reopening!) of later this month or early next month. I'd like to apologize up front that I couldn't have kept the original server going for longer than a month, but I honestly rushed it out, I've had some time to go over this, and I'm now ready to dedicated my time to this fully. Thank you for your patience!

I guess you could use a...

Spoiler: show

moneytree

I can wait, I'd rather have the server take a little while to start than not start at all.

Can't Wait to see it Open up

Mm, you might have misinterpreted me. When I mean video card, I mean graphics card, like the NVidia I'm using. That kind of thing. Thanks for the offer though.

I was actually looking at setting up PayPal and all that if anyone wants to donate to the funding of the server. I just don't want it to look like I'm begging for money because I have a financial problem, I get really paranoid about that.

I have no Idea what all that is Im still new to the Grab the cam cord and Tape this now put it up on YT thing, as well as ho do i put it..... "un-self-confident" with YT,
(i think its cuz idk what I'm doing or don't want to get a Strike for Copyright infringements)

Trust me, its not begging, You've got lots of friends here to help out, like im fully wanting to Donate about maybe $100/ $150 for the server's Maintenance and support.

Basically what it is, is it's the thing that you kind of need to play games or even have the computer running and all that, some motherboards that I've seen have some graphics cards or at least components of that stuff integrated into them. I basically need a new part to my computer, if not, a new computer.

Woah, wasn't expecting a large sum to appear there, but if you are willing to donate that to the server once I get the PayPal up, I'll gladly accept it. Thanks for the offer!

No Problem im use to donating that much, from another server i play thats I have donated there too, Plus i like to help out to the best i can

Also im hoping that the card can work or be okay it does suck not being able to play some good old games on the PC, I had my old Laptop Get cooked from the inside from charging my Laptop so Much, all because i didnt want it to die when making SMBX levels

I remember the time my SMBX kept crashing constantly. I still have no idea why it used to do that. That was about 2 years ago though, I think.

quote="lizardfan96" [quote] ......*sigh* I'd advise not having an arguement transfer from Topic to Topic Blaze,

btw What Texture Pack does the server have if it does?

I use OzoCraft and its pretty awesome to use its so real yet the ambience(which are custom) can be somewhat creepy

[Danny]

Server will have no specifically set texture pack, although I have considered using a server-specific resource pack, I'm not entirely sure I'm going to do that.

[dragonfan96]

Not to keep playing 20 questions here, but is there and Plug-ins? like W.E(world edit) and Essential/Basic Spawn?

There most probably won't be any plugins in the first couple of weeks just for compatibility sake, I will think about adding plugins eventually though.

[Danny]

Alright, so, I've decided a little bit upon the way donations will work, and apparently I can't have donate button for PayPal unless it's a nonprofit fundraiser, which is kind of interesting. I can, however, send an email through PayPal to a person requesting for a donation, which is kind of silly. I'll have to figure out more about this as I delve into it more, but so far what I guess will happen is that if somebody wants to donate, PM me with your email address and I'll send an email via PayPal requesting a donation or however that works.

For the time being, I'm not accepting donations, but I will once I figure out what PayPal is doing with donations, and of course once the server is up. As glad as I would be to accept donations, and I maybe mean this a little towards dragonfan69 who offered up a large donation, I'm going to limit you guys to $10 to $20 donation increments at a time, of course that donation could be less, but I'm just saying that the maximum amount I'm going to allow you guys to donate if you choose to will be either $10 or $20. $10 would be enough to run the server for a full month, while $20 would be enough to run it for a full two months.

The reason why I'm doing small increments is because I've been getting paranoid that if I accept a large sum of money, I'd want you guys to know that the funds are going directly into the server and not anywhere else, because this has happened on one other occasion to me and I'm not going to go into detail about that, I'll just have you know it involved a lawsuit because of stolen intellectual property. Anyway, that aside, once I set up and start accepting donations, I'll let you all know if any of you are interested in donating. I'm not going to make donating mandatory or anything, and I quite honestly don't have any server perks in mind that I could give to donaters, but if you want to donate, go right ahead, I just don't want it to seem like "oh, I need money real bad, please donate!". I can, hopefully, fund the server for myself for the most part, but I'll gladly accept any financial help I'm given.

Anyway, thanks for the offers, guys. I really do appreciate any help I can get. Currently, if you want to know, I'm working on the server's map hub thing, which will just be like some sort of glass dome with a building full of beds and an Ender Chest or two. Everything else will be survival and fend for yourself. Thanks for your patience so far!

Aww, Whatever keeps the server goin' and we're all havin' a great time is what i want to see! and thats...priceless

[Danny]

Server is honestly only $10 a month to run, but it actually adds up a fair bit considering I have financial issues anyway.

10 bucks.. Makes me want to have my own server now...Have it be Survival and/or a Skyblock server with mcMMO plug-in and maybe a few others but thats quite cheap...

I'll still donate and (if i have the time) help yah out and do some research on a Donation thing...
