They can't make games hard anymore. It's pathetic.

This thread will be used for information on the Minecraft server and how to use all the commands included, as well as which user groups have which commands. All of this information will be included on the server website as well (http://guysfromandromeda.com/mcweb). Server IP minecraft.guysfromandromeda.com Max Players 50 Available slots: 44 Default Users 4 Admins 2 Guys From Andromeda The Admins and Two Guys will have reserved slots, so if the server is full and an Admin or Guy tries to join, one of the default users will be kicked to make room. Server Rules No griefing/stealing/pvp - No destroying others' creations or stealing their stuff. PVP is disabled by default everywhere except for the Free Survival World. Please don't circumvent this to intentionally try and hurt other players with wolves, pistons, traps, mobs, pushing off cliffs, etc. No glitching/hacking Respect others' building, storage, and mining areas - No building over the areas of others or building underneath or above their properties or mining areas, unless you receive permission from the owner. This just gets in the way of people's crafting plans Be ethical and use common sense - No mischief, bullying, bad-mouthing other members, etc. No CPU Intensive redstone circuitry - Like door noisemakers and the like. This can cause the server to crash as well as connect players. Generally anything should be alright, but don't go making large computing redstone processors or anything. And noisemakers are just annoying. If you have a problem/issue, talk to an admin with the '/helpop' command. If there is an admin on the server they will respond. Or send them a message with the '/mail' command for them to receive later. Or come here to the forums and make a thread. Have fun! - Mine and craft away! Work together! Be creative! In other words, enjoy the game! User Groups Default - This is the default group you are automatically put into upon first joining the server. They can view all worlds but have no building permissions outside of the unmoderated Free Survival World. User - This is the trusted players group. This group has access to building permissions in the main Survival World. They can claim regions, lock their own chests/furnaces/doors/etc and do anything they can do in a normal Minecraft world. Builder - This special group has access to further commands on the server such as WorldEdit and WorldGuard. They can switch to creative mode and affect changes in the SQ worlds. This group is for trusted members to help build the SQ worlds on the server. Admin - Self-explanatory. The people who run the server and attend to players' needs by fixing problems, making things run smoothly, or even ban people if necessary. They also are the ones who upgrade player accounts to other user groups. Talk to them if you want to become a User or a Builder. For now we have no Moderator positions. Perhaps as the server gets more use and more regular members we'll have need of something like that. Admins MusiclyInspired Pcjtulsa Mjomble Technichris Server Commands Default player commands /rules - Views the server rules /motd - Views the Message Of The Day (or Server upon login) /help - Views a list of available commands /helpop - Request help from online operators /mail - Manages inter-player, intra-server mail /msg - Sends a private message to the specified player /me - Describes an action in the context of the player (like IRC chat) /list - List all online players /afk - Marks you as away from keyboard /suicide - Causes you to perish /time - Display the world time. /spawn - Teleport to the spawnpoint (the portal hub) User group commands /near - Lists the players nearby or around the player /nick - Change your nickname /realname - Displays the username of a user based on nick /sethome - Set your home to your current location /tpa - Request to teleport to the specified player /tpaccept - Accepts a teleport request /tpdeny - Reject a teleport request /tpahere - Request that the specified player teleport to you Builder group commands The following commands are available to players in the User group: WorldGuard commands (Use wooden axe and left/right click to set area selections) //sel cuboid - Sets selection mode to cuboid/rectangle. Left-click to select point #1. Right-click to select point #2. The selection will be a cuboid encompassing these 2 points. //sel extend - Extends the cuboid selection mode. Left-click to select first point. All subsequent points are selected by right-clicking. Every right-click will extend the cuboid selection to encompass the new point. //sel poly - Sets selection mode to polygon. Left-click to select first point. All subsequent points are selected by right-clicking. Every right-click will add an additional point. //sel ellipsoid - Sets selection mode to ellipsoid. //sel sphere - Sets selection mode to sphere. //sel cyl - Sets selection mode to cylinder. //pos1 & //pos2 - Alternate method of selecting areas based on which block you're standing on //hpos1 & //hpos2 - Alternate method of selecting areas based on what block your crosshair is pointing at //chunk - This command selects all the blocks in the chunk that you are standing in. Chunks are 16 by 16 and are 256 blocks high. //expand [] [direction] - This command allows you to easily enlarge a region in several different ways: - By specifying a direction (north, south, west, east, up, or down) - By looking in the direction (only for north, south, west, and east) - To the sky and to bedrock: //expand vert To specify a direction, use "N", "S", "W", "E", "U" (for up), or "D" (for down) for the direction. If you want to merely look in the direction, either use "me" for the direction or don't enter a direction parameter. You can specify two numbers and the region will be expanded in two directions simultaneously. //contract [] [direction] - Opposite of '//expand' Which way would the selection contract? If you used //contract 10 down, then the selection would shrink from the top. //shift [direction] - Shifts the region. This command works similarly to both //expand and //contract at the same time with the same amount in opposite directions. This will effectively shift the region by a certain amount. It will not move any blocks in the region. //size - Gets the number of blocks in that region. Air blocks will be counted. WorldEdit commands - /region or /rg (Nobody will be able to manipulate blocks inside a region except the owner(s) and member(s) of that region) select - Selects the specified region claim - Claims the select area if it is unowned as yours with the specified title remove - Removes protection of the specified region list - Lists all regions that you own addowner - Adds another owner to the specified region removeowner - Removes the specified owner addmember - Adds a member to the specified region. Members can manipulate the blocks in a region but cannot change the owner. Useful for town 'citizens' removemember - Removes the specified member info - Shows information about the specified region (area coords, owners, permissions, etc) LWC commands (Block protection, works on chests, doors, trapdoors, furnaces, dispensers, etc. Container blocks are automatically protected upon creation. Doors and trapdoors have to be manually protected) /cprivate - Create a private protection for the block /cpublic - Create a public protection. Anyone can access it but they cannot change owner of the protection /cpassword - Create a password-protected protection /cmodify - Modify an existing private protection /cunlock - Unlock a password-protected block /cinfo - View information on a protection /cremove or /lwc -r - Remove a protection /lwc flag - Change protection flags If anything is unclear, please let me know and I'll explain it more plainly.

Fair enough. :)

After a few days of re-working the server, I believe I have it finally set up efficiently and without errors. People can claim their own regions with the '/region claim' command (use wooden axe to select areas). Also, from now on players in the "default" group won't be able to do anything outside of the new unmoderated Free Survival World. Trusted players in the "user" group will have building privileges in the moderated Survival World. Builders will have access to advanced commands like WorldEdit and WorldGuard and will be able to to affect changes in the SQ worlds. Default users can '/mail' message any of the admins (musiclyinspired, pcjtulsa, or mjomble) or post here on the forums to request their accounts be upgraded. That said, if there are any bugs, please let me know. Also, for those of you that were building in the Survival world without causing trouble, I apologize, but most of you are in the default group. I tried to remember a few people I've played with and seen crafting unmischievously and upped their accounts already. Let me know if you're also one of those people, prove why, and I'll upgrade your accounts as well. Also, if anybody breaks the rules (on purpose) you will be permanently banned. No takesie-backsies. That may sound harsh, but the griefing was just unbelievable beforehand. If you're going to be on the trusted Survival World don't blow it. Keep it real or you won't be able to access the server at all. Hopefully things will work a little more smoothly now! :) Again, let us know if you find any bugs.

Nice, thank you!

Age of Empires I and II also fall victim to this palette corruption. Killing the explorer task works for them as well. I've gone the route of having to create special BAT file shortcuts that kill explorer, launch the games, and then relaunches explorer.

I've blocked off the server for now. I was trying to fix some permissions and everything became corrupted. It was a mess anyway and needs to be started from scratch. I'm going to try and iron everything out in the next couple days and get it back online. Hopefully this time, griefer as well as bug free.

Paypal payments go to a specific paypal account. If you have a receipt you can rest assured that your money is sitting in the Two Guys' account. There's no where else it could go.

I've actually been trying to do that but it doesn't work for some reason. Right now, the SQ worlds are region-enclosed with WorldGuard restrictions. Can't seem to affect change in Permissions per world for user groups. Or rather I can, but it makes no difference. I think it's an issue of too many places where permissions can be affected in the plugin configurations and one of them is still unlocking everything for group default.

Whoa. Well, what's will happen can't be any worse than what's happening now. The Sierra IPs sure haven't lasted very long in anyone's hands in the past decade.

I merged these threads because we already have a movies thread. Let's keep everything nice and consolidated.

Excellent! I'm looking into whitelisting a specific world (or even the world's portal from the Hub) but I can't find anything. Any help is appreciated.

Ok. Seeing as I don't use Dish or AT&T it's not an issue for me. I hope you guys that use them can get that sorted, though. Personally, I think we should all just switch to Netflix and leave TV in the dust.

So what exactly does this mean? Are they cancelling these shows? Or are these providers or whatever just dropping all AMC shows?

That's pretty nice, man! Can you zip it up and email me the world? We can certainly take a look at it by the time we get to SQ3. It looks great, though!

Griefing is becoming an increasingly annoying issue on the server lately. I don't know who it is, but I suspect it is the same person over and over. I'm getting to the point where I'd like to block all users from manipulating the world at all, and having an admin have to add members to a regular users group to be able to play regularly on the Survival world. Failing that, I may just resort to white-listing the server. That sucks, but morons like griefers make us not able to have nice things conveniently. We'll see what happens. Will be making some changes soon.

Oh for the love of...

There are plenty of voxel engines out there.

Like I said, Frede, the problem is not your sound card. It's your system. MUNT is a bit of a resource hog atm.

Can't emulate a Voodoo card, though. :/

Yeah, Win95 games still have no solution as far as modern systems go.

It wouldn't have anything to do with your sound device, rather your RAM and the speed of your processor. Still working an old dinosaur there? :) I'm rocking a hyperthreaded Quad Core Sandy Bridge processor with 4 (soon to be 8) GB of RAM. I'm not going to feel any sluggish pains for a while. It's easy to forget some people might actually have performance issues with something like this!

Heh, that's funny. Because I remember when we worked on the old SQ1VGA soundtrack and when we were finally done you said you hated the soundtrack in the end. lol Collector is right. MUNT sounds almost identical now. There are only very very very very small differences. The biggest one is that the reverb is not exactly the same, but that's fine. Try the latest ScummVM snapshot. It has the newer MUNT included and it sounds pretty much spot on. Give it a go!

I need to fire up my MT-32 again. Been too long since I used it for a game.

I want moar. 2GFA haiku plzkthxbai
