Unofficially Official TFF Minecraft Server!

[George]

Is it possible for you to back it up so you can reload it if we need to switch back?

[anoni]

Yes, also Bisecthosting keeps backups themselves. But would people mind going back to 1.7.10? We'd lose the bunnies!

[The Past]

I'm afraid the sacrifice must be made. :C

[George]

What else would we lose?

[The Past]

Anything added in 1.8

[Grey]

That's not too bad. There's ways to make up for that. I thought stuff just turned to sand in older versions, if it's only present in newer versions? Eh, either way it's no biggie. 1.8 is fun, but there's loads for 1.7.

0ne day, we'll be able to update again.

What happens if you use an outdated admin essentials mod?

EDIT: Is this by any chance relevant? It looks like the right kind of thing, has a 1.8 version and uses Forge.

Here's the 1.8 version.

WAIT is this usable??! It seems like it could fix the problem with Forge!

[White Wolf Guardian]

Okay the real problem is, there's no "Forge" for 1.8, so he can't use it, because Sponge doesn't exist yet.

[Sodapon8]

latest upadates to forge downloads all pretty much 1.8

[Alistair]

We're going to lose the horses and everything? 

[White Wolf Guardian]

Horses existed before 1.8, so they will be fine. The only animated things that will be missing are rabbits, guardians, and elder guardians.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

What about the whitewolf guardians? Do we lose those? I hopez nat

Make sure you read my posts George xD

The mod you suggested George is only a grouping mod, so it'd still be basically vanilla but we'd have colours for names and simple vanilla permissions, also the mod is small and so I don't even know how well it will work or any issues it may come in contact for.

It was at the end of a page so it got hidden by other posts. Sorry 'bout that.

So I attempted to run Cauldron 1.7.10, but there were some problems. The good news is the server started up fine (after a little bit of tweaking) and the world didn't seem to cause too much corruption, the bad news is something ELSE did.

  Seems like 1.8 renamed or introduced new player items, when connecting to the server, some of the player items cause problems. I'm gonna do some more testing on the server, but if we want to do a change, we may need to replace all our player items or get rid of them altogether. Not an exactly nice choice however! Because that'd mean we'd lose all items everywhere, including in chests! This might not be the case, but either way as is, players will be stuck in the "login" screen when connecting to the server, they'll also have to revert their clients to 1.7.10, which is not difficult thanks to minecrafts launcher.

  While I figure this out, I have another little idea to test, to see if it gets rid of the corruption. I'm loading a different version of Spigot, rather than directly craftbukkit, it's a different jar altogether so may get rid of the corruption, but that's just a guess. For now, I'm gonna remove the player data from the world, I've backed it up though so don't worry, just keep in mind that all changes you do now may be replaced eventually as I load the backed up world!


UPDATE: Alright I can't reconcile the "stuck in logging-in" problem, it could be caused by a plugin, in which case I'd need to remove all plugins. I'll try that tomorrow, for now, I'm loading spigot and the backed up map.


So to summarize:


  - Tried to load up Cauldron, map works but joining server doesn't. Not entire sure why, server chucks an error on loading about essentials so it may be an error ther, may need to find a different essentials plugin to use, will do that tomorrow.
  - For now, we're running Spigot, Spigot is a different plugin to craftbukkit but it's very similar. Not entirely sure if the corruption will remain, but for now it's a good test to see if it goes away then, so if you still see the corruption be sure to tell me.


Oh and server will be offline for about an hour while I restore the worlds state, in case any (unknown) corruption occurred.
