I set up a Multi Theft Auto: Vice City server for some nostalgia gaming!
Download the MTA 0.5 Client here:
http://www.gta-downloads.com/en/gta-vice-city/multiplayer/771-multi-theft-auto-05-client.html
It is a dedicated server running on a Linux machine. The server info is as follows (will also be posted to the MTA:VC Server info page):
Address: nakedminecraft.com
Port: 2003
MTA link (*requires Multi Theft Auto Client installed): mta://nakedminecraft.com
Enjoy!
I have been testing Minecraft 1.2.3 with the latest version of Bukkit (DEV #2037 at the time of this posting).
There are still several things that are not working well with the latest Bukkit/Minecraft combo and it is likely that a newer build of Bukkit will be required to resolve them:
Warp: When warping, you fall through the world until you eventually time out.
MultiInv: Inventory sharing is not being properly disabled between worlds. This is working as of MultiInv 3-17
MineCartMania: It simply does not work. This is an issue with the plugin itself being outdated, and it has not yet been updated for 1.2.3.
SignRank: Running flaky and lags the server out. This plugin needs to be updated to support 1.2.3
PermissionsBukkit: The 1.6 update causes major lag and instability.
Hey everyone, just a quick reminder: if you update your minecraft client BEFORE the server is updated, you will NOT BE ABLE TO CONNECT!
I see that the 1.2 Minecraft client has been released, however, it is always best to wait until a stable version of Bukkit has been released prior to implementing it on the server.
I will always create a post when it is safe to update your client, but until then make sure you click “NOT NOW” when you are presented with the choice to update your client or not.
In the meantime, if you did upgrade your Client you can downgrade it back to the server’s version by following the directions here.
If you wish to run two different versions of Minecraft at the same time, you can do so by using the Minecraft Version Changer.
To make for a better server experience, I’ve upgraded the server’s bandwidth a bit. So far there has been a noticeable improvement in lag rates and better performance overall.
Enjoy!
In order to use the TooManyItems client-side plugin on our server, you must modify the default”give-command” line in your configuration. Don’t worry though, it’s easy!
0. EXIT YOUR MINECRAFT CLIENT COMPLETELY!
1. EXIT YOUR MINECRAFT CLIENT COMPLETELY! (yes, this step is worth mentioning twice)
2. Windows XP: Click START > RUN, Windows Vista/Windows 7: Hold the WINDOWS key and press ‘R’
3. type “%appdata%” without the quotes and press ENTER
4. Open the ‘.minecraft’ folder, and inside you will find the file ‘TooManyItems.txt’. Open it!
5. Delete the line starting with “give-command…” and replace it with the one below:
give-command:/i {1} {2} {3}
6. Save the TooManyItems.txt file and then re-launch Minecraft. That’s it!
It is very important for all server staff to understand the differences between Global bans and Local bans.
Global Bans: A Global ban (the “/ban <player> g <reason>” command) prevents the player from joining our server and any servers within our MCBans Network. Additionally, the player’s reputation is affected (reduced) which can cause them to be automatically denied access to other servers that use MCBans – even if those servers are not in our network. Global bans must follow a specific set of requirements. For instance: griefing, hacking and racism are all acceptable reasons for a ban to be a global ban. Please see the following URL for the most up-to-date Global Ban requirements:
http://support.mcbans.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/7/0/global-ban-rules
Please ensure you take a SCREENSHOT (Press the F2 Key) of the LogBlock results in case we need to provide proof due to a dispute.
Local Bans: A Local ban (the “/ban <player> <reason>” command) prevents the banned player from joining our server and any servers within our MCBans Network. A Local ban does NOT affect the player’s reputation.
Local bans should be utilized when the player has broken a local server rule that is NOT defined in the MCBans Global Ban Rules (such as: spamming, trolling other players, begging, disrespect/disregard for staff, etc.)
Please let me know if you run into any issues!
This gem will let you launch different versions of Minecraft from your bin folder, without having to go through the tire and effort of constantly renaming files back and forth.
This is very handy in situations where some of the servers that you play on have updated and some have not.
The server has been updated to Minecraft/Bukkit version 1.1.
Make sure that you now update your Minecraft Client to 1.1 also.
We ARE running an unstable dev build of Bukkit. Please let me know if you run into anything odd. So far, the server logs are clean and error-free
