Game Server Update

The game server running with Bukkit 1.0.0-R1 is almost ready to go.  Once it launches you will need to know a few things.

EDIT: This won't go into effect (aka the new server wont launch / the maps wont be uploaded until later today 12/18/2011)

1. There are two new maps.  One survival, one creative.  
Everyone first spawns into the spawn zone on the survival map.  If you want to play survival you can just start playing, if you want to play creative follow the signs to the creative map portal. Because of the nature of creative mode (you have access to all materials) any griefing on the creative map will result in an instant Name and IP perma-ban, no questions asked.  We have a plugin that logs every block placement and removal, the server logs everything, literally.  We will be able to find out who did any griefing.

2. How to get your stuff moved over
Due to the problems last time we changed the map with getting things moved over, I have decided on a system to make this easier and faster. READ THIS CAREFULLY! If you do not follow the instructions exactly then I will not help you.  This is not to be mean or unfair to anyone, it is just meant to make things easier and quicker for you and for me.

STEP 1: Download any map you have stuff on that you want moved.
All links are for FileServe Downloads.  If anyone would like to host them on another file hosting site let me know.
Old Old World (Pre - 1.8.1): world.zip (285.67 MB)
Last World (1.8.1): main.zip (378.09 MB)
Vanilla World (1.0.0): vanilla.zip (106.81 MB)

STEP 2: Download MCEdit. Link

STEP 3: Follow the world specific instructions below. Anything you want imported into...

Survival Map
- Find your creation in MCEdit.
- Email the coordinates to mctransfer@kayoticlabs.com
-> with the subject line: Transfer to Survival
-> with a body of: YourMinecraftName - # (Where the '#' is the number of the transfer, your first being 1, second 2, etc).


Creative Map
- Find your creating in MCEdit.
- Select it and export it (select the area, click copy and it will pop up a box to hit save). Be sure to only save your structure DO NOT select entire chunks.  If your structure is underground try to select as little area around the structure as possible.
- Email the files to mctransfer@kayoticlabs.com
-> with the subject line: Transfer to Creative
-> with a body of: YourMinecraftName - # (Where the '#' is the number of the transfer, your first being 1, second 2, etc).

Step 4: In the either the survival or creative map (depending on the guide you followed) find a location where you want the structure placed.  Create a one block column of dirt from the ground straight up in the air to the top of the map.  On top of that place a sign with your Minecraft Name and the number of the transfer in your email. You can also leave a second sign with some info about where you want the structure Eg. what side facing where. (You might need to delete one block off the top to fit the sign.)  Also, under no circumstances, create a column of anything like that unless instructed to do so for something like this.

Once you have completed the steps, the next time no one is online or only a few people are online I will take the server down and move all the structures over.

Thank you for following these steps, it will help me get all of this done quickly.

If you have any questions about this process please feel free to comment or message me if I am on Minecraft (Username KayoticSully).
