Re-Introducing FIRELORD - For EliteVIP Members Only!

Submitted by tremor on Mon, 2012-04-02 13:13

Have you ever thought GOLD items were just plain useless in Minecraft?  Well guess again... with the FireLord Plugin gold tools and gold armor are useful!  Here are the benefits of FireLord that are enabled on YASMP:

  • Gold Tools: Instantly Smelt.
    • Gold Pick turns cobble into smooth stone.
    • Gold Shovel turns sand instantly to glass.
  • Gold Armor: Adds fire and lava protection.

The PvP aspect of FireLord is not enabled for YASMP.  Just the above effects.  Oh ya, and one more thing... ONLY ELITEVIP's GET FIRELORD!

Concerning Random Missing Posts Within Forums

Submitted by tremor on Fri, 2012-03-30 08:19

Today I'd like to address the random, missing posts that have been going on within the forums.  First and foremost I'd like to make an apology to a few people who had their 'site editor' status removed while I've been trying to track down the source of this mystery... among those being Allie, Huma, Patate, Fate and several others.  While to some it appears these posts have been disappearing in a targetted fashion, I too have had one of my posts disappear.

Wolfenstein: ET Master Server Back In Action

Submitted by tremor on Tue, 2012-03-27 09:32

Following the outage earlier in the year, the folks over at id Software have rebuilt the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Master Server, and everything is now back online and working. If you've got the game installed, it'll pick up the new Master Server automatically. No changes required on your end.

YASMP Technical Difficulties Sunday/Monday

Submitted by tremor on Mon, 2012-03-26 06:53

Some configuration errors on the server led to some technical difficulties with YASMP and we will be doing our best to sort those out as soon as possible.  We apologize for any inconvenience.  As a token of our gratitude for your continued patience with our occassional incompetence we will be expanding the border of the pvp survival world to 6K.

We've also noticed since we've added the /home and /spawn commands to the whitenamer level... YASMP has been more popular, but also, it seems like there is no more incentive for players to donate.  So we call on our current VIP members to remind new players of the benefits of donating.  

1. Keeping our server online, upgraded and running smooth.

2. Reduced cooldowns and warmups.  As it stands default must wait 30 minutes between using /home commands and hold still for 20 seconds before actually warping home.

3. Ability to create your own clan at SuperVip level.

4. At EliteVIP - No cooldowns between /home, /spawn commands at all.   

5. Kit availability - plus we'll make sure to add some more kits soon, that I'm sure you will all love.

This server is most fun when there are lots of people to kill!  Make it part of your day to keep new people on the server and bring them into our community, the more people the fun. And remind them about donating. 

thank you,

-tremor

A note on Minecraft 1.2+ and Client Side Lag Issues

Submitted by tremor on Sun, 2012-03-25 19:53

For reference you can read some information at this forum post on Minecraft Forums.  http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1107554-124s-laggy-lighting/

Basically since Minecraft 1.2 was released, changes in lighting - most specific to the nether based items of lightstone, lightstone lamps, lava and also redstone torches..  are causing severe performance issues.  This is NOT a server issue but rather a problem with the fact that, Jeb decided to take some burden OFF servers for calculating lighting instances, and that burder now falls on the client side, meaning YOUR computer is doing the lighting calculations and not the server.

Sadly this causes some serious TPS lag for YOU.   Things you can do to not lag super hard in-game, whether it's on our server, someone else's or even in SSP. 

1. Avoid large lava lakes.

2. Build with less lightstone and lightstone lamp (we'll be re-doing our Nexus spawn world to clean up those and reduce lag).

3. Tweak your video settings for better performance.

Hopefully for 1.3 these issues get fixed up a bit, because for as I can see the nether is not even playlable on my crappy computer.  But we may have a little time before 1.3 is released.  Until then we'll do our best on YASMP to keep lighting lag to a minimum.

Countdown To The Return of YASMP

Submitted by tremor on Sun, 2012-03-18 17:40

At Midnight Eastern Time (USA) we will be shutting down our current, temporary factions server. 

Shortly thereafter we should have our YASMP "Clans" server back online with an all new fresh maps..  and with it, merged - our creative map EpicLand.

For those who loved factions though, not to worry.. we intend to bring it back on port 25569 (the old playland port) and it will be known as YAFS - Yet Another Factions Server.
