Spawning After Dying

I made a small config change this morning, players will now spawn at their first home (the one that appears first in their list of homes) when they die rather than at spawn!

Enjoy!

Sphax Textures

If your good at making Sphax style textures we could use your help with a mod we're including in the upcoming modpack!

The mod is Aquaculture by Shadowclaimer and you can find the details here...

http://bdcraft.net/community/pbdc-patches-wip/aquaculture-t2783.html

It wont be an easy one to do as it involves item textures for 32 very unique types of fish but if anyone is able to do this for us, as well as all the other people who would like to see a Sphax patch for this mod, then you will be rewarded with a VIP slot for both the current Tekkit Classic server and the modpack server ... which will never expire!

If you are interested in taking this on then either send me an email or join the discussion on the Sphax forum, thanks!

Update: All 82 textures are now done and the patch is pending approval on the forum!

Player Market Rent

Just to confirm, we will not be collecting rent for Stalls or Shops today, making this week rent free, as people are still getting used to the new system. We will be collecting rent as of next Monday though.

Enjoy!

Player Warnings

I've made a slight change to the warnings system, players will now be notified of how many warnings they have each time they join the server.

This is just on a trial basis for now.

Server Down - Power Cut

The server has been down since around 09:05 due to a power cut.

From our hosting company:

UK network outage (Outage)

Priority - Critical

Our bandwidth provider in the UK appears to be experiencing a major outage at the moment, as a result our services based in the UK are unreachable until resolution.

Update 09:15 - there was a power outage in the area, we will keep you updated.

I'll update here when I know more or the situation is resolved.

Update 09:30 - Power has been restored but I am unable to start the server due to some file corruptions, I am working on fixing this now!

Update 09:45 - The server is fixed and back up! 

A few mods had to be restored from backup, Ender Chests have had to be rolled back 2 days and players who were online when the power cut happened may have lost part of their inventory but other than that all is well so it could have been much worse. If you were online and have lost items from your inventory then please open a modreq to let us know so we can restore the items for you.
