[donortfchc] & [donortnfc] Servers are down.

[Sariak]

Include the following in your report.



What did you (try to) do?

For the last 2 weeks or so, I was unable to : A) Connect to Donor TFC Hardcore server & B) look at the Donor TNFC dynmap to spy on the progress being made.



What did you expect to happen?

That after a week or two, the server(s) would be back up.



What happened instead?

The server(s) did not come back online, so I decided to flag it here just in case nobody noticed.

My reasonable guess is that both servers are hosted on the same machine, and the said machine has been brought offline perhaps to make further progress on bringing up a public TNFC 3.6 server. (Which I am really eager to see and/or help with)


The date and time the problem happened. On the TFC serves you can press TAB to see the server's time, please report this time whenever possible. It's in CET. It helps us track events in the log files.

I do not have access to it as the server is down. But I can reasonably guess the servers went down around Thursday February 8th 2018.


Which version of Minecraft and mods or mod pack are you using? (don't ever say: latest/current/last We need numbers)

Even if I believe this detail is not relevant to this problem. Here is some information on my set-up when I want to connect or look at those servers :

A) [Donor tfc hc] I use a slightly modded vanilla minecraft instance.


Minecraft Forge 10.13.4.xx (I can't see the last digits)
[1.7.10]TerraFirmaCraft-0.79.29.922
journeymap-1.7.10-5.1.4-unlimited



B) [Donor tnfc] (or future public tnfc) For the dynmap, no mods are necessary, however the day I will connect I will use the recommended setup.


TnFC version 3.6
AT Launcher Share code : g3BvQ11Z
I removed the prattle mod from my setup too



Any and all crash reports related to the reported issue.

When attempting to connect to the dynmap : http://donortnfc.happydiggers.net/ or http://donortfchc.happydiggers.net/ The message is the same :

This site can’t be reached

donortfchc.happydiggers.net’s server IP address could not be found.

Those servers won't come online anymore I think.

That's right, I have shut down the TFC based donor servers. However the timing is a bit off. That's my fault. Sorry for that :B

I've been sick for the past month or so and haven't finished the new donor server yet. It's almost done. Same goes for the new public TnFC server. All that needs to be done at this point is set the correct permissions for Nucleus on the donor server which is what replaces the Essentials Bukkit plugin. And for the TnFC server I'm waiting on Tenterro to finish up building one last bridge. Strictly speaking those things are not a requirement as you can play the mod pack on the new donor server without it and we could get started on play testing the TnFC server. But it's something that we like to have done before we proceed. It allows staff members to actually do staff member like things on the donor server. And for the TnFC server, having all the spawn structures done before play testing allows me to easily reset the world after this phase so nobody can get accused of hiding materials and gaining an unfair advantage that way.

I know it sucks. In retrospect I have shut down the donor servers a bit too soon. On the other hand, you are the first donor to contact us about this. The donor servers have been pretty much inactive for a while now. I have moved Gweenypoo and Selphora who were active on the donor TFC server last week. I'm willing to do the same for you. Moving entails you writing up a list of materials that you would like to have for playing on the public TFC server. Think along the lines of:
x amount of ingots A
x amount of wood B
x amount of stone C
x amount of TFC "machine" D
x amount of ...
etc

If you have a town on the Freebie server I can deliver the items there. Or, if you like, I can transport you to any location on the map so you can start (or re-start) a town there. You can use the new and improved isometric-view Dynmap to find a nice spot. I don't mind teleporting you around a few times to find a suitable location.
