Marble End & Weapons Mod Changes

I managed to get hold of a patch for Balkons Weapon Mod so I've made a few changes this morning...

Changes to all non-PvP worlds:

Knives are now banned.

Changes to Marble End:

Right-click is now enabled for knives, meaning that they can be thrown!

Javelin is now enabled.

Crossbow is now enabled.

Blowgun is now enabled.

Arrows are no longer given at the resource points.

Bread is no longer given at the resource points (wheat is instead).

Flint is now given at a couple of resource points.

Feathers are now given at a couple of resource points.

Wooden planks are now given at one resource point.

The addition of flint, feathers and wooden planks means that players can now craft the Javelin and Crossbow (including darts) but must also now craft arrows instead of finding them ready made.

The blowgun and poisonous darts are only available in the new addition to marble end... a second ship has docked (although the dock is a quite badly damaged) and it seems to be some kind of portable jungle, maybe something to do with oxygen generation? Or maybe just to manufacture a rather dodgy poison? who knows!

I've had to remove the protection around the spawn room in Marble End, however I've added signs asking that players do not kill in that room, anyone caught deliberately spawn killing (i.e. within that room) may be banned from Marble End.

I've also adapted the plugin that handles banned items to ban certain items in Marble End only that can be made using available parts but have no use there, i.e. saws, buckets, shears & beds.

Enjoy!

Server Down - Hardware Issue

The server is down due to what appears to be some kind of hardware issue, our hosting company is investigating and hopefully we'll be back up and running soon!

UPDATE: 19:50 - The problem appears to be resolved, the server is back up :)

UPDATE: 20:45 - The physical server has gone down again, hopefully not for too long.

UPDATE: 21:20 - The server is back up and hopefully will stay up now!

September Challenge - Poll Added

I've just added the poll to decide the September Challenge, you have 17 days to vote but can only select one option this time so choose carefully!

214 Bug Fixed

Some of you have already noticed that I've now fixed the '214 Bug' that caused all items with an ID of 214 to be uncraftable instead of just world anchors as intended, so you can now craft:

214:1 - Concrete

214:2 - Block Of Steel

214:3 - Infernal Brick

And no longer need to request these items from an Admin / Mod or buy them from the Admin stall in the market, enjoy!

Server Maintenence

I'm carrying out some extra server maintenance today which is likely to mean several extra restarts today (and one or two short periods of whitelisting), it should be all done by mid-afternoon.

UPDATE: 14:00 - All done :)
