2. Clear out old data - Done.
3. Reset The Nether - Done.
4. Mod patching - Done.
5. Test patches  - Done.

Scheduled Downtime:

Date: 14/08/14

Started: 8:30 am (UK)

Finished:  10:30 am (UK)

*Update - 09:20: There is currently a major network outage in central London which is affecting our hosting company, the backup is over 90% complete but I am unable to finish it or carry out the rest of the maintenance until the network issue is resolved. I will update here when I know more.

*Update - 09:40: Apparently this is the second outage this morning so if you couldn't connect earlier this morning you now know why! I'm not sure if the issue is completely resolved but I have managed to reconnect and am continuing the backup, I will probably have to extend the downtime a little though.

*Update - 09:50: I've added 30 minutes to the finish time, the network outage does seem to be mostly resolved now but the connection is still a little slower than usual.

*Update - 10:30: All done, the server is back up and the whitelist has been removed!

Modpack Delay

As many of you know I'm currently in the last 18 months of a degree, my workload until October is over 60 hours a week so I'm afraid the modpack is progressing a lot slower than I would have liked.

The original intention was for it to be launched this month however my mod still requires some work to get it to the point we need it at and some of the plugins still need a significant amount of tweaking, all in all I probably still have 5000+ lines of code to write and test plus a few hundred lines of config to tweak.

I will continue to work on it as time permits but until my workload eases off in October it will be difficult to get the bulk of the work done, come October however I should be able to finish things off fairly quickly so it should still launch well before the end of 2014.

As usual keep an eye on the Modpack section of the site for the latest news and updates, feedback so far has been very positive so hopefully when it does launch everyone will agree it has been worth the wait!

For now here's another little preview, this time something I've put together for the new casino, introducing the YogSlot...

HeavyBane & CBxZombies Win Big!

HeavyBane at his house, soon to be his old house once his new build is done!

RM Star Unbanned!

Thanks to the plugin update this morning I've been able to slow the RM Star down to a usable speed, so it is no longer banned!

Obviously the maximum charge is set to zero to keep the speed in check, but it's still very useful as a multi-tool.

Enjoy!
