Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place...I'm new to the forums and don't really know where everything is supposed to be... I'm also pretty new to bukkit in general so many of the things I ask may seem painfully obvious but I really am struggling a bit with figuring out how to get my server to do everything I need it to. I'm trying to set up a private UHC server for me and my friends to play on. Before now, I would always run our games in vanilla, using a system of command blocks and an external timer made by me to run everything. This all worked fine until one game when I saw just how broken everything could be. People were spamming chat, using /tell to team up against other people, trapping the portal, etc. and there really is nothing I can do about it. I've decided to switch to using bukkit to make it easier on me to manage these games. However, I'm not really sure where to start... First off, all the games we played in vanilla were in 1.8, though as far as I know, no 1.8 features work in bukkit. If this is the case, I might as well switch to 1.7 since I'd prefer not to have the health scoreboard displayed in hearts as opposed to numbers. If there is a way to make it work in 1.8, please let me know. I'm mainly using Ghowden's UltraHardcore plugin to run the game, but there are some other things I need...Firstly, I'd like to be able to have the server run two separate worlds. One that we actually play the game in and another that will have the room we do the "intro" in before the game starts. I have no experience with multiworld bukkit so someone please explain how to do this to me...also, I need to know how to use permissions. Since the server will be solely for UHC games, people don't really need access to any commands. As the owner, I'd like to have access to all commands, while everyone else can't use anything (including /me, /tell, /say etc.). I also need to be able to mute specific individuals if they begin spamming the chat. I haven't been able to find a plugin that does this as of yet... Lastly, I need a timer for the game. I need to have a message put into the chat every 20 minutes and also be able to disable PvP for that first 20 minutes and then have it turned on without having to restart the server. That should be about it. I don't really even know where to begin. Obviously there are multiple plugins involved and a lot of configuration so if someone knows how all this can be accomplished please leave a response. Again, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section or something...
What do you mean by "offline"? You mean the fact that it's a whitelisted server and not open to the public? Or does it have something to do with the unavailability of bukkit downloads?
You would first need a copy of craftbukkit which for legal issues is no longer available for download. To handle groups/permissions etc I'd recommend a plugin like PEx or bPermissions. For multi-world management I'd recommend the plugin called: Multiverse. Overall though without a copy of Craftbukkit you wont be able to do anything. There are some alternate choices out there and some will work with 1.8. Keep in mind the ones that work with 1.8 do not use or allow plugin use of most new features found in 1.8.
I actually have a 1.8 .jar that someone gave me which I've been playing around with...it's...semi-1.8 The creative menu has all of the 1.8 items but they disappear if they're placed in your inventory or on the ground. Also the health scoreboard uses hearts instead of numbers. So far, all the plugins I've tried have worked with it... However, without bring able to use 1.8 features anyway I might as well downgrade to 1.7...if I can find he right .jar that hasn't been taken down...
mcmkw Bukkit does not have any 1.8 support. Not even a protocol hack that it sounds like the software you are using is. It is possible you are using spigot or some other project that have the ability to play on a 1.7.10 server even though they are 1.8. There is really no way of downgrading to 1.7 craftbukkit as there are no downloads available with it.
Alright, well, assuming I'm somehow able to get ahold of the file (perhaps someone I know has a copy they can give me), can I get some input on how to actually set everything up? That's kind of what I'm more concerned about... Even if I can't find a new file, everything I've tried so far works with the .jar I have so I'm not really concerned about actually getting the server
mcmkw What do you need help with settings up? if you need help with starting the server check bukkits wiki. http://wiki.bukkit.org/Setting_up_a_server
I explain in the first post what I need to be able to do. I need people to recommend me some plugins that satisfy those requirements...
