Decade Server RSS Feed

Hello World, again.

CorruptionEX — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 20:07:14 +0000

Ok, so...
The last post here was from 2014. Geezus
Before I go inviting other people here, I wanted to make a general post about what's been going on.

The Decade Server is now running on new hardware since about Febuary. I think I built it prety well, and it sure was a little more expensive than I would have liked, but everything turned out well. Along with a new router and switch, there shouldn't be any preformance issues or bottlenecks any more.

tl;dr = NO MORE LAG

For any new people, welcome to my little hobby server. Check out the website if you'd like, or enjoy Don't Starve Together, until I get other public servers up.
Do you like Minecraft and/or Terraria? Those will come soon, probobly Terraria first, since thats easyer.

I'm not the kind of person to make frequent posts about anything, but should anything need explaining, I'll throw something up here. In the mean time, play nice!

Server back in business!

CorruptionEX — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 06:27:10 +0000

I fixed the issue with the server, and it is back up.

Minecraft did save something a couple of hours before crashing, however I don't trust it and so I restored a backup from the 12th. Almost no progress was lost, as the only person who came on was on for less than 2 hours at most.

That being said, I know that not alot of people are playing on it, and I too am taking a break from it, however it is still going to stay up for anyone that wants to play. Bring a friend, work on something big like pixel art (not a penis), a huge base, or just anything. In the end, we are all going to be sitting around in diamond armor, sucking our thumbs without anything left to do, and thats where we make our own goals.

I hope you all enjoy. Just PM me if there are any issues.

Temporary Server Downtime

CorruptionEX — Sat, 15 Nov 2014 22:15:25 +0000

So today we just had a mini blackout at my place, and the server didn't take to kindly to that...

The server will be down for now, and I will be putting it back up hopefully before the end of today. The Minecraft server was running while it happened, so if it didn't autosave before, I will have to revert to a backup I made a day or two ago.

Sorry, but this was unexpected and unavoidable. Doing my best to recover :)

Minecraft is Offically Up!

CorruptionEX — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 15:32:00 +0000

This is two days late, but I still feel I should make a post about it:

Last Friday, (the 24th) the Minecraft server officially went up, and it's a super cool map. I wanted to use a seed that wouldn't spawn us in a boring jungle or swamp, so I found this seed[www.minecraftforum.net] to use for the server.

The post includes a map of the 2048 blocks surrounding spawn, and within it lies every biome. This way, if you want certain resources, or want to live in a special place, you can find it on this map. Alternatively, you can download Admist[www.minecraftforum.net] to see a larger, scaleable version.

And yes, I know, you can see the stronghold and villages and such.
Listen, lets all wait to fight the bosses until we have more people on, so that we can all get the acheivement.

Speaking of 'more people', Everyone that has been on thus far has witnessed some pretty serious lag on the server. The more people that are on in diffent locations = the more chunks have to be loaded at one time = more active things in each chunk = lag. As of now, all I have to work with is garbage collector flags. When Spigot is released for 1.8 (basically OptiFine for servers), I can upgrade to that and we will see how that goes. In the mean time, all I can say is if you wanna get some serious work done, play when there are < 5 people on at one time, because it seems it can handle 4 people at once pretty good.

I also just wanna put this out there, if you guys want to invite people to play with, that is totally ok, just point them to the website[decade-server.dtdns.net] for the info, and don't grief. The only people not allowed are the people no one knows, like if a stranger came online. If anyone does something sneaky just let me know.

Anyways, hope everyone enjoys their time. The server will be up as long as it can, with it being down only to tweak it a bit more. Dispite the lag, I will continue trying to improve what I can. :)

Kill me + Website = This post

CorruptionEX — Tue, 07 Oct 2014 12:44:33 +0000

So since everyone doesn't really mind waiting, we're going to wait until Optifine 1.8 comes out, after Comic Con, and on a weekend. Once a date like that rolls around, I will notify you all again.

However, as a present, I was working on the website all last night getting everything working. It should be up by the time you read this, so I suggest you take a look. 80% of the time went into the Server Status page, but there are still some minor bugs with it:

* Rapidly clicking refresh on the Server Status page refresh button has a very, very slim chance of showing servers as up when they are actually down.
* Clicking refresh on the Server Status page, navigating to another page, going back to the Server Status page, and clicking refresh again, all within the timeout, will show all the servers as up even if they are down.

I know maybe it doesn't look like much on the site, but like I said, alot of work went into the refreshing status'. I'd love to hear any comments.

Ok, for real this time!

CorruptionEX — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 01:21:59 +0000

Tuesday.

Everyone has the right to be frustrated and confused, but the real, final date for starting is tuesday. If it isn't, you can all find and kill me. What is this, 3 times now that I've changed the date? I've already said I'm horrible at plans... Whatever, not that anyone has actually complained to me yet. I'm sure your all secretly pissed off everytime your read that I've changed the date.

Listen, if we can all just get together tuesday afternoon, and just start up a server and have a grand ol' time, I can stop making stupid posts about changing the date around, and we can just freakin play. That sounds fun right? :D

Ok, for the thrid time: It's all my fault, I'm really sorry, blah blah, TUESDAY.

Major misplanning on my part....

CorruptionEX — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 14:57:32 +0000

I can already tell that this mornings plans are going to take longer than expected... I feel bad for rallying everyone up for today and then having to cancel; I normally keep to my plans.

So maybe when everyone gets home tomorrow, as long as everyone feels up to it. I know monday isn't the best day to start, and we don't even need to start now, if you guys want to wait. It's up to you guys really, but I can't do today anymore.

Again, sorry for that. When we do end up starting, however, it will be really fun to play with everyone at once, so I'm still looking forward to that.

Agenda for tomorrow: Part 2

CorruptionEX — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 23:27:56 +0000

Hey so remember when I made that post about playing Minecraft tomorrow? Well as it turns out, I have something I have to do tomorrow morning, and I don't plan for it to take long, but it might.

So, what will happen is that when I get back, if we are all on, and it's still a good time, we will start, and if not, maybe we can start Monday or something. I hate having the plan be all wishy-washy, but some things have to get done, and it turns out that I completely forgot about it until now.

I still want to start tomorrow, but it all depends if tomorrow morning runs smoothly. Sorry about that guys!

Agenda for tomorrow: Everything.

CorruptionEX — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 17:39:36 +0000

So,

Maybe I'm taking all this a bit to formally, but whatever, I'm excited :D

The website is just about done. At the time of writing, I'm just putting the finishing touches on it, and it should be up either later today, or definitely by tomorrow.
Since Comic Con is next weekend, I thought the best time to start a game would be this weekend, or the weekend after Comic Con because I don't want to start and leave others three days behind. I was going to start the first official server today, but some people are not ready today, and so instead, Minecraft 1.8 will be up tomorrow, as soon as everyone is online. Currently, we are a group of six, but anyone else in the group is free to join, as well as bring any friends you want. I don't know what the server size will be but if we run out of space on the server, I'm sure I can add more slots and it won't be a problem.

I've been working real hard on all this, so I hope you guys enjoy the site and servers!

Content on its way!

CorruptionEX — Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:26:33 +0000

So OptiFine starting updating to 1.8 today. I would hope it would be ready for this weekend, but nice things take time... I said I would like to wait for it to be released before I start up a permanent Minecraft server, so that's on it's way.

Speaking of nice things, I've been working a lot on the website. The ugly thing that is up currently at decade-server.dtdns.net is just something I threw up there to have something there. This new site should also be up by this weekend, and looks pretty nice if I do say so myself. :D

Anyways, I'd just like to point out that this group is public, and so if there are any friends you want to invite or plan to play with, feel free to point them here. All servers (as long as they are set up and secure) are public, so anyone is allowed and encouraged to join. The server ip for any game is the same as the site (decade-server.dtdns.net) and the port is the default for the game, with a few exceptions, which will be posted on the new site.

So yea...
If you guys want me to throw a server up just for funsies, let me know. It won't be permanent, but if you're bored or whatever then I can put one up.
