I'll get on it later tonight, hopefully Craftbukkit is updated as well (think switching between Craftbukkit and vanilla caused problems where stuff in the nether was disappearing).

I just tried it out, new sounds are sweet

Server has been updated, if there's any problems let me know (I still can't access the server from where I am to check, won't be able to until July )

I think the nether has been reset to an earlier save or something. lol

Knew it, I think there's two saves on the server for the nether. One is for vanilla (which is running now) and one for Craftbukkit (which is what is usually running). Fortunately I did a backup before I updated the server, so nothing has been deleted. Unfortunately Craftbukkit isn't compatible with 1.4.2 atm, so we either have to choose between downgrading the server or using the current nether saves until Craftbukkit is released, which is impossible to predict (there was a blog post today by the Bukkit team pretty much saying it'll be out when it's ready).

Hey I'm down to play again for the Halloween update. What is the server info mine seems to be outdated.

If I build in the overworld will that get wiped when Craftbukkit is eventually updated?

Cheers dude! awesome that you fix this stuff man. you still around on the server?

I NEED SERVER INFO ! I want to kill zome zombies!

PM ?

The server address is 37.58.188.114:25575. Make sure to let me know your Minecraft username if you haven't done so already.

It shouldn't do, no. For some reason Craftbukkit seems to treat the nether differently, but the overworld the same. No idea why, but the nether has always been slightly buggy Craftbukkit wise.

Thanks, unfortunately I can't play on the server where I'm living atm as I have to connect via proxy which only allows connections running through port 80. I would try and connect via VPN but usage is restricted on this connection and the host can't change the server port to 80, so either way I'm pretty buggered.

Thanks, just added you on the whitelist. Let me know if there's any problems.

ok, so yeah, the nether has reverted to a super old version. Strangely, it's reverted to the "alternate" super old version, meaning the following: last time we had a nether error (with the nether reverting to an old version), I started building in the "wrong" version. This new throwback nether shows the changes I made during the last error period several months ago! Meaning it's an "alternate nether", not just outdated. Will it be possible to find a back-up of our more recent nether?

I'm just not gonna build anything in the nether until I hear word about this.

On the plus side, because the new update has introduced wither skeletons (whose drops can be used to craft the wither boss), and wither skeletons only spawn in NEW nether fortresses (afaik), the nether map reverting back to an old one means we can trawl the strongholds near spawn for skeletons until this update is fixed.

just an idea, I hope that made sense!

Just to clarify things, when the update for Craftbukkit is released, the nether will go back to the backup with the most builds and back to normal. Just while the server is on vanilla 1.4.2, it runs the vanilla nether, so its not worth building in the nether until I can update again.

Sorry about this guys, it's one of the frustrations trying to run the server when the server client updates run behind the player client.

all good man. you've been good enough to fork out for the hosting so no complaints here

I really like that game again. now the adventure elements look finished and working. they didn't when I stopped playing some month ago.

searched for diamond using mcmap. Its working really good so far:

what textures do you guys use? I tried different ones but I always keep going back to the original ones

I really like Sphax BDCraft and the OCD texture pack. other than that, just default

still default for me!

tried lots but I think I've played for too long with the default to enjoy any other looks.

default forever I guess.

default, summerfields, and jolicraft.

i usually end up going back to default, though.

Updated to Craftbukkit 1.4.2, could someone please check to see if the Nether is back to normal?

yep, its back. nice one!
