You could have an offshore oil rig attached 

Nath, how much was the server costing? I'm happy to fund the next one, it will give me more incentive to log on!

It's like a fiver for 12players, but I've just renewed with capacity for 18 players and that's £7.50.

If someone's happy to run it, I'll give the details for the console.  It's currently running Tekkit but with no addons.

Is it possible to connect the Xbox version of minecraft to the server too? Cross-platform support would be cool...

Nah, doesn't work like that

You seemed to have it setup pretty sweet before with autobackup, livemapping, etc. I don't mind running it but haven't done one before so don't know any of the commands, etc so would need a quickstart/cheatsheet.

For anyone that doesn't know what Tekkit is http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit/

It's got autobackup again, taking a daily full backup.
Adding mapping is easy enough.

I'll need everyone's minecraft names again for the whitelist.

Do I need to change the A record we setup or has the IP not changed on minecraft.tekforums.net? Can't be polled at the moment.

Edit, just updated the IP now, all should be well soon.

Now should be:
minecraft.tekforums.net:25573

Mapping http://176.31.230.136:8123/

Gah! My client updated, now it says "Server out of date!", typical

I think you need the tekkit launcher

I think you were right, but now I'm getting connection lost/connection reset when I try to join.

What we should do is form up a few teams of 2.
Set some goals like Yogcast do that we aim to beat each other at rather being solos.

Form companies and have an agenda we can work too.

Doing updates?

I just got a message saying I need MinecraftForge installed


Edit: FYI to anyone else that gets this, delete your users/Name/AppData/Roaming/.techniclauncher folder and let it redownload everything.

Can you reduce the mod spawns please? It is set crazy high.
Dying way to much. All up for mobs but when you have 20 Boney guys shooting you and 7 creepers right next to you as soon as it is dark takes the pee.
I saw Nige spawn in followed by 5 explosions in less then a minute and Nige log off and stuff it till it is day time.

Way to many mobs!

I didn't log off, it crashed, I was doing alright  In fairness though, there did seem like a lot of mobs.
