As most of you know 1.9 will be released not too far from now. As many plugins that we are using will no longer work with 1.9, the whole offline server will be revamped.

Plugins that will not work:

BB
Permissions

Some players have requested plugins for the server, new plugin that will be installed on 1.9 offline server is ChestShop. Another possibility is Regious. This allows for people to create towns, cities, nations. It is even possible to become mayor of your city. I think having an economy in the server is a good idea. Keeps the game interesting. Regious also allows for automatic protection when a piece of land is handed over to a player.

Permissions will have to fixed. At the moment there are conflicts between it and essentials. (a replacement will be found)
As for BigBrother. There is no other plugins that will work the way BB does. They do not have rollback functionality. This could be fixed by installing a whitelist to the server. Trusted players will be added to the list. People that want to get onto the whitelist will have to apply here on the forums. World guard will still be used. Maybe a few more game fun enhancing plugins will be added too

At the moment, all of this is an idea. There is no confirmation of any of this being done. There is a higher power that needs to approve, obviously.

If anybody else has any plugins that they would like to recommend then post them below. Do not just say what the plugin is... Post a link to it too. (Bukkit only) http://www.bukkit.org

Map might be reset too... depending on the majority of the votes...

[Omberha]

"depending on the mayority of the votes"... well... nope.
nobody checks that topic, it was a waste of time making it, people just dont care about the forum, all they care about is what should they build next and who griefs their home.
I think out of all the people playing on the server, about 20% check this forum ...
This has to change :S

[Selena]

Omberha would you mind asking around in-game? asking people to vote... If not then I guess admins decision goes. The update is still a little bit away so there is no need for admins to jump to an immediate decision. Give players time to vote. We need RTV in minecraft like in CSS.

[Omberha]

sure, no problem, I already tried tough, they dont seem to really read what i message but I'll try over and over

you have all the time until it comes up

[Omberha]

yes, actually, everybody votes, its just that I have to tell everyone personally, one by one.
currently there are 5 votes, 3 agree, 2 dont care and nobody disagreed yet

[Omberha]

one question:
the map will have to be reset for 1.9 and all the plugins to work correctly, or am I wrong?
Is that poll I made even necessary?

[Dark-Skript]

It sure is an offline server!

[MoOnLiGht]

takes a few days and most popular plugins will be updated, i think so

[Gringo13]

I propose that when the map restarts and everything, we formulate some rules, such as:
- Dont build in the sky as if buildings can fly
- No huge floating signs
- Admins/OP should not build anything, jail and spawn excluded (the train station is nice but we should work for it)
- Regions must be decided where players can build

These are rough suggestions, such rules would make a city/town much more organized, clean and not like the mess that we have now

- I can't impose what / how do they build their structures ... let their creativity decide ( yes some of them are ugly and monotonous) ... can be a future contest about who's having best looking house on a vote system with prizes.
- if we don't build some infrastructure (roads, train stations, small villages etc.) for sure players will not build something what an Admin/OP can do in few hours and for them could take days or a week or they will not build at all from different reasons.
and don't forget some of them are little kids... let them have some fun by working in a mine building structures and pay for a ride ... that can be charged at any time they use ... some plugins need to be added for this
- why jail excluded ? spawn you cant deactivate ... that is the first step into server ... maybe you want /sethome and /home to be activated.
- with regions I agree ... houses need to be more scattered and locations given by OP's from already made plots.

[Gringo13]

Yes xarc u are right we can't expect some of those kids to build infrastructure. It is just that i would like to see the map develope with time and not to see the train station on the first day
Maybe I put it worng, I meant jail and "spawn structure"(caste or whatever) could be built by admin and/or OP so that we have it on the 1. day.

[MoOnLiGht]

can we have the current map as a download,
after the server switch to a fresh map?

so we can play/explore it in singleplayer...

just a suggestion

[Selena]

I will setup a plugin for the offline server called towny. It allows for creating of towns, nations,cities. People can become mayors. There will also be a plugin called iconomy. Allows for people to make shops. They can sell and buy items. I am away at the moment so please direct alll questions to k1ller. Thanks.

[MoOnLiGht]

no answer to my question yet ..?

I agree with Gringo13. There shouldn't be big ugly buildings. There shouldn't be railroad or other infrastructure built by admin. People should be guided by city mayors (or similar) to build coherently. People can take a look at our online city. It's got coherent buildings, coherent cave near the city, custom built railroad, custom farm and so on. People can build their miracle houses somewhere out of the city, but the city itself looks like a normal place. It's surrounded by gates and so on. It's all built by normal players. Admins didn't do anything there (as far as I know). It's great

People should have possibility to build high buildings, though. Just not those ugly one block wide towers without function.

My suggestions:
* Admins will restrict spawn point from others and gracefully build couple noob friendly instruction signs near the spawn
* Admins will not change night to day, give free blocks, give free tools or anything else free
* Admins will not build for free anything
* Players can make free "shops" if they wish

I don't like griefers, so I'd like to see a way to protect my house and stuff. For this I suggest some plugins (but I don't know names).

I definitely won't start in the new 1.9 server if the map isn't reset. It's impossible and stupid to start building anything there. If I wanted to start now, I would first have to look for admin and ask all the stuff for free That's why I don't start now. I don't play much on the online server either because others don't play either. I'm stuck without server

PS. What is jail?

[k1ller]

It is also possible to host more than 1 or 2 servers.

We can host for example "build anything you want" server and a server with some other theme. However it's not good to host too many servers in my opinion because then players don't have enough time to get involved in each server properly.

I also vote for resetting and making clear rules for the next round. Do you know any plugins to record map building? It'd be cool to have video of a town being built.

@Ghost

Jail is an actual jail in-game, it serves as a lesser punishment than ban.

So if I destroy only half of your stuff I go to jail? Makes sense.
