asgaros-forum domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later.

I just made the following fixes:
Please all note that if you think your contest entry is done or almost done, please submit it on the website! Only submitted entries will be voted on!
If you have some technical issues submitting, please send me an email with the text that you are trying to enter and your lot number ASAP. I will not start working on reported issues 3 days after the contest closed….
I will be on a trip for the coming 2 weeks (Half business, half holiday), but I should have time to check in for any issues there might be. So while I might not be on IRC or in the game, if you open a ticket, I will be able to fix stuff within a couple of hours at least!
Also, I installed tapatalk for the forum, so it is easier to use it from mobile devices. On top of that, I did a couple of fixes to the website. Since I updated PHP to a new version a couple of days ago, I inadvertently broke some pages that new needed changes in the code with the new version. I fixed the code and moved stuff back where it belonged. If you find any other glitches, please let me know.
The minecart plugin that we are currently using is being rewritten form scratch, and today the first Alpha version was released. They have tons of new features that can allow us some nice tweaking and hopefully also faster updates in the future.
I will have to wait until a proper version is released but it seems we will be able to continue with the current plugin and then upgrade to a better version. Stand by!
Dear all,
as promised I have created a new contest. Please go over to the contest manager and take a look. Please make sure that all of your tree is in the build area so that it does not get cut off when we copy stuff over.
[Update] I wanted to make it clearer what I wrote above:
I have just closed the XMas Contest: We had 27 submissions, quite amazing! Since this time we had so many Citizens and Settlers I split them into two groups. So let’s start from the lower levels:
The best ranked entry from the 5 Settlers is coming from tbrewda36, and of course she is promoted to Architect, and wins a stack of Diamonds!
Next level up, we are coming to the Citizens, where we have 11 submissions! The highest ranked entry there is from PioneerTomb187, and he also wins an upgrade to Architect, and a stack of Diamonds!
Then we come already to the Architects, where we also had 5 entries, and the best one was patpat2211 who will be from now on Designer, also receiving a stack of Diamonds!
Among the 2 Designers, the best one was AEROX247, who will have the honor to be Master from today, with – you guessed it – also a stack of Diamonds in his pocket!
The 2 Masters who submitted were led by lilroc17, who will receive 2 stacks of Diamonds, just as the best Elder, KDDK!
The best overall score was achieved by AEROX247, who will get another stack of diamonds on top of it!
All upgrades are already applied and diamonds are in your deposit boxes! I will do my best to copy all 27 contest entries to the city ASAP and then announce the next contest!
Congratz and thanks to everyone for participating!
I have now setup the requirement to be registered before you can type in the IRC channel. Of course, if you are in-game, anything you say will be visible in the IRC channel, no matter if you are registered there or not. Sorry that this was neccessary.
Here is again an instruction how to do that.
I got a request to make an alias for /suicide since some people did not feel like killing themselves virtually. So now you can also use /respawn instead. Same effect. Just a different command for it. You still get a message that you killed yourself though.
Since I promised it, here are the photos from my holidays. All images on page one are from this holidays, if you click “Next” you can see some older diving images. Some of these images are quite rare from my point of view, and I was really lucky for some of the animals we see, that we could see them so close or at all.
I have (finally) enabled and tested the reset of kingdom lots and so far everything seems fine. All previously expired kingdom lots have been reset and can now be bought again.
Since we had some banned people harassing players via IRC, I will set the IRC channel to require registration. You will have to be registered with the freenode network to talk in the channel. You can do so by typing:
/msg nickserv help register
and reading the manual or by typing directly
/msg nickserv REGISTER password your.email@address.com
after changing the last two items in the line above to your password and email address. So far everything works as usual, but
FYI I will make an attempt to reset the contest to the state it was on 24th Dec to fix all the damage done to the contest entries.
I found the reason for the holes in the contest lot. I made a mistake in the code that should exclude contest lots from being reset. Since the contest holes are not aligned with chunks, the reset function shot some random holes into the area. Very sorry about this.
Good thing is that the reason was actually trivial and could be fixed. If the teleporting there would have caused this (it caused some severe issues before, such as server crashes). we would have a much harder issue to fix.
So thanks to all who suggested solutions and tried to help here, and sorry again.
I have closed the contest now, so please go and vote!
Also, there were numerous cases where chunk-holes appeared in the area of the contests. I have no idea how these happen and can only suspect that there is an issue with the automated warps. We might have to find a different system here. Maybe it’s fixed with 1.4.6. If some of your contest got damaged through this and you did not have time to fix it until now, please send me a ticket immediately.
Also, if you did not manage to submit your contest until now, please post a message here and I will do that for you. Thanks!
The latest snapshot is up and there is a new nether ore in there. The one way to get that ore would be a nether reset.
I know that we had this discussion before and I got some pretty emotional email regarding this topic. However this time I do not think there is a way around this.
There is a kickstarter project to revive the original ELITE game from 1984. If you remember this, you were part of the REAL pioneering times of PC gaming. If not, it’s basically the space combat version of Minecraft with an endless, procedurally created universe. Here is a screenshot of the 1984 version:
The original designers work on it and it is looking great so far. They are short of just a couple of percent for their funding goal, but the end is approaching fast. I backed them already. If you are into space games, you should check this out by clicking on this banner:
For those who are wondering if I am spending the funds donated for the minecraft server for this: No, I do not. I pre-paid the server already for 2 full years since there is a huge discount for that. Whatever you donate now to me only helps to pay back whatever I paid already for the server.
After grueling 30 minutes of work I managed finally to upgrade the server to 1.4.6.
If you see anything strange, please let me know.
I have been off diving again and here are two images and also the first time a video since I bought a GoPro… So there is a Whale Shark and a Leopard (or Zebra) Shark on the second image and the video.
So as you can see I am having fun :) Will be back on the server on the 2nd…
