I would like to apply for staff!
IGN: DejaVu
Past Experiences: I have ran a server before, it had at some times, 9 - 10 people on!
Why I would like to be a staff member? I know how to run and moderate a server properly
If you have any other questions, tell me on the server or PM me!

I'll apply for staff, though I can't promise I'll be on a lot. Most likely, I'll be helping people with lua programs. I've got a ton of experience debugging and breaking CC, with over 1600 posts in AAP alone.

Hmm. Looks promising.
Anyways, I'll apply for staff.
IGN: ry00000
Experience: I run 2 private servers (1 local, and 1 hosted) I know all the admin commands (/kick /ban /tempban and stuff like that)
Why would I want to be a staff member? Because I have experience with Lua and programming languages in general, and I can say I'm NOT a newbie when it comes to moderating servers.

If you have ANY other questions, PM me on the forums or ask me ingame.

IGN: HolyCloudNinja
Experience: mutliple years of CC experience, recently have become a staff member on one of the only other CC servers, Ultiblocks, and have not only owned my own server in the past, but have moderated multiple vanilla servers.
Why would I want to be a staff member? I can bring a lot of good content to the server, not only in terms of moderation but in attitude. I'm usually always happy and able to help people out, but can also be serious and do what needs to be done.

On another note, i've noticed theres a lot of lag with terrain generation. You may want to limit the range of /rtp and/or put a world border.

I've removed /rtp due to the kernel killing the server for excessive resource usage almost every time somebody uses the command.

IGN: Lr_ (not-a-typo)
What experience have you had in the past? I've had many years of server hosting and administration/moderation. I have also been admin/moderators on many servers, such as Acora, LuaLand, and more.
I have been part of the CC community since GAPS (approx. MC 1.2.5), and I have quite an extensive knowledge of CC & OC's APIs/components, Java, and other programming languages. I can easily help people who need some help with programming, or find fair solutions to disputes between players.

Why would I want to be a staff member? I believe I can bring a good community to this server, while keeping all rules enforced, and ensuring a nice playing environment for all players.

Other information
I have been playing Minecraft since 1.7.3 beta.

I know how to use plugins such as WE, GroupManager, GriefProtection, Essentials, WorldGuard, and more.

Thank you for reading my application, and I wish you good luck with your server.

This looks like a really neat server, however I have one suggestion. It will be far more convenient for players if you were to include a server.dat file in the modpack. It makes it easier to join the server, and adds a feeling of professionalism, somewhat.

I second this! Especially since the pack is specifically for the server.

Might as well use one of my old staff applications.
In game Name: valithor2

Country (For relative timezone purposes): United States

Why do you want the position? I am already on the server a lot, I might as well help police it (would also help track down those annoying rednet spammers that slow down CC).

What can you bring to the Team? I have a lot of experience running servers. This makes it to where I can generally come up with a quick little patch for broken/exploitable things (see antidupe for more details). In addition most of the CC community knows me, and a lot of them know to ask for help since I am usually willing to give it.

Do you know the basic commands? I know most of them for the most part. My management experience doesn't really help at all since I only ever managed bukkit based servers, and this is sponge.

How long have you been on the server? I am one of the beta members, so I first joined a few hours the server was first posted.

Why do you want the position? I am on the server almost 24/7 and I would love to help others on the server.

What can you bring to the Team? I can bring help with mods such as OC. I can do my best to help people with CC. I will always do my best to help anyone.

Do you know the basic commands? I'm pretty sure I know most of them at least. I'm not use to Sponge, but I'm always willing to learn.

How long have you been on the server? I joined the second day the server was running.

I'm not gonna fill out a template application like the others, so I just thought I would put a list here:
- I was mod/admin/staff on many very successful servers of the past. (LuaLand, CommunityCraft, Kremeland, CCNet, Sxw's Server, Wired's Server, in no specific order)
- I am really active.
- I am very helpful to people on the server and newbies when they join.
- I am very good at finding and reporting exploits.
- Generally just a nice guy, I think.

P.S. I have lots of krist if you want some bb

It's been ported for a while albiet it isnt made by the same developer.

GriefPrevention on Sponge has a unique flagging system that is exclusive to the Sponge version, and it's far more powerful than WorldGuard.

I would like to apply for staff!
IGN: manu_03
Past Experiences: I had two or three CC servers before. They were crowded sometimes,with 5-10 people.
I use CC since 2012-13 and spend a lot of hours a day in it.
I started playing Minecraft 1.4.2, but I have the average knownledge of people that plays from the first beta.
I use CC a lot, and can help people.
I had previous servers, so I'm comfortable with the console and config files.
I'm developing a banking system that would be an alternative to iConomy, EssentialsEco, etc.
I would help people making companies. I often create them when I join a server, and I could even develop a Stock Exchange-like system.
As I had various servers, I know people that you can or not trust
Why I would like to be a staff member? As I mentioned, I ran various servers, and was staff in a couple more that were very popular. I would help people that are starting, or people that want to do something that need help from staff.
If you have any other questions, tell me on the server or PM me!

As a user and a member of your staff team on another server, i would personally say you would not be fit to run a server like this. You used FE which is not on this server. Ultiblocks was an okay server, but you didnt do too well in my opinion and from what i observed in keeping people in control. In the past i've also only seen you on once or twice in the past. As for the "crowded" part of your servers, i did not see that at all on ultiblocks. It was more like 3-5 people rather than 5-10. As for the things you say you can do, you can do most of those things without staff already.

Huh, you're wrong. I made a mistake: I copied the application from DejaVu and forgot to remove his name. I didn't even join UtilBlocks and I think you never joined one of my servers. They had more people than you said, OK, maybe not 10 people, but not 3. I don't know what is FE, and if you tell me, then I will talk about it.

(Saying before what I actually wanted to say)
The staff application only means you are interested. It is, for the most part, not really important for the decision of who does or does not become staff. If you want to be staff, you have to act like it when you are in the server. In other words… Be helpful before you get staff because you want to be helpful, you shouldn't wait until you get staff to be helpful.

This next part is coming from me as someone who used to be a server manager, not coming from xeres or other admins.
Posts about other peoples staff applications are for the most part not wanted. They turn into thread spam, that does not reflect the server well. If you are right about someone not being a good potential staff member, then they will likely not behave like a staff member on the server. As such they don't have a chance to be staff in the first place, and your posts really are not helping anything.

Firstly, if there is a server issue such as this it is common decency to quietly tell a server administrator, less people that know about it will decrease problems significantly. If you had the slightest bit of common sense you would have realised that administrators can in fact roll back land, hence your poor attempt at helping is actually considered theft.

The iron furnace bug is a known bug since Utiliblocks. It occurs due to the furnace facing in a down state which should not occur and the game crashes as its not meant to happen. Theres not much to fix it other than editing the world in an external program such as mcEdit and deleting it from there. It usualy may face down due to it having its nbt data whiped and hopefuly it should fix itself automaticaly

What experience have you had in the past? Well, I ran a server with my friend, it shut down after some time, but we had around 20/30 players online at a time.
I know CC Lua, java just a bit, C++ and Pascal.

Why would I want to be a staff member? I want to be a staff member because I know how to run a server. I think I'm mature enough, I am really active and I love ComputerCraft.

Other information
I have been playing Minecraft since beta 1.2_01

I can build pretty nicely.
I'm 15 years old, and I think i'm pretty mature.

You can join SwitchCraft and trade with Krist today. If you don't have any, don't worry! Every player starts with 100 KST given to you by the server.

Bear in mind that allowing users to purchase non-cosmetics this way is a breach of Mojang's license. I don't know what you're selling via AdminShops, but if you're offering eg diamonds for krist, that's a no-no.

It has next to no real-world value, but that's not the same thing as no real value. Anything earned outside of the game counts as a hard-currency for Mojang's purposes.

While that is fair, with all due respect, Krist doesn't really have any monetary value and is not "real-world cash". So I can't really see any issue. It's a currency, but essentially a fictitious one that's essentially isolated to Minecraft anyway.

Krist is worthless - you're not actually buying stuff with real money. Is this a joke or something?

Think about why Minecraft put in the EULA in the first place. To make sure parents wouldn't complain
about kids using their credit cards on everything, and making the game fair. Krist is available to everyone via. SwitchCraft's bank…
Simply working harder = more money.

Just a tad embarrassing that you associated Krist with real money. Plenty of other servers also use ingame currencies, in this case, it's Krist.
Other servers use Krist as well - and it's become a monument of the ComputerCraft community. You shouldn't act like this is a
new issue all of a sudden.

It's primarily mined outside of Minecraft - has been for a long time. If it's valueless, then why would anything try to sell stuff for it?

Er no, that's not why Mojang did that - it's so that other people can't profit by selling Mojang's content.

I see no problem with users trading on servers amongst themselves. Server owners selling resources via the likes of AdminShops, on the other hand, for anything other than other in-game currencies, is an entirely different story.

I do not believe that the use of Krist on the server is a breach of Mojang's EULA. Firstly that specific clause of the EULA only applies to commercial use and monetization (see https://account.moja...cial_guidelines and note that the same clause is not present in https://account.moja.../minecraft_eula). I'm going to take Creative Common's definition of commercial use as being:
primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation

This is clearly not the case of the use of Krist. Does purchasing an in-game item with Krist from an AdminShop help pay for the server bills? No. Does the owner of the server gain anything any real value out of receiving Krist? No. Is the purpose of using Krist for any monetary compensation whatsoever? No.

Xerxes has chosen to use Krist as a currency with good intention. It's used as a tool for fun, to use something that the ComputerCraft community has created and is viable to be used as a soft-currency in-game.

It has next to no real-world value, but that's not the same thing as no real value. Anything earned outside of the game counts as a hard-currency for Mojang's purposes.

I absolutely disagree with this. Krist must not possibly have any real life value, because it's manipulatable. Krist is not decentralised, it is a centralised currency, that the creators of can choose who gets how much Krist. If Krist had a real-world value, the creators could give themselves an infinite amount of, now what, are they the richest people in the world? Of course not, that will never happen because Krist will never have sufficient trust for people to treat it as a currency with real world value. Krist was never intended to have any real world value, and should never been treated in such a way to have a real world value.

Saying that one guy has bought 1000 KST for $10 USD, making Krist have a real world value, is identical to saying someone in game traded 10 diamonds with someone else in game for $10 USD. Does that mean the in game diamonds are worth $1 each? No, of course not, but someone selling in game diamonds for real value money could just as easily happen with someone trading Krist for real life money. So don't you think items in game have the same next to no real-world value as Krist?

I think you're reading the lines a bit too literally Bomb Bloke. Would Mojang really be disappointed in a community of programmers who play Minecraft, creating their own virtual currency for fun, then being used as an in game currency? Remember that Mojang implemented these EULA changes because they frowned upon the methods of monetization servers were using which would make players who didn't want to spend money. Xerxes isn't trying to do this. He just wants to integrate something created by the community purely for fun. Not for monetary gain, and not to provide an advantage to some players over others.

On top of this, Bomb Bloke, I have given out over 450K in Krist conversion alone and have absolutely not and never will make any actual money (or even Krist) from this.
This is not a violation of the Mojang EULA and anybody who says that it is needs to read it more closely.

Even if 3d6 could do that, that wouldn't work with a more common currency either - for reasons I would've thought obvious. Look up the concept of "inflation" if you think they're not.

So don't you think items in game have the same next to no real-world value as Krist?

Sure, but what's that got to do with this discussion? Krist either has value, or it doesn't. What that value is is irrelevant. If it had no value, no one would trade it, yeah?

I think you're reading the lines a bit too literally Bomb Bloke.

When it comes to user agreements, there is no such thing as taking them "too literally".

No. Does the owner of the server gain anything any real value out of receiving Krist? No. Is the purpose of using Krist for any monetary compensation whatsoever? No.

This is what my initial question is all about - how is it being used? I haven't received a specific answer to that yet.

For example, if Xerxes can go onto his server and dig up a stack of diamonds, then trade them through this store system for Krist, then nothing in the EULA forbids that as far as I'm aware.

But if players can buy plugin / console generated resources (eg if he can simply sit back and gain Krist from players on his server seeking to gain an advantage there), and he could then go onto some other server and use the proceeds to give himself an advantage there (by trading with other players, or using another resource-generating plugin) - I don't care what his intentions are, if that's the system that's been set up, then that's a breach.

Please see `Therefore, if you comply with and follow the Brand and Asset Usage Guidelines and Naming Guidelines above YOU MAY:` and below.

I don't see anything in there that appears relevant to either side of the discussion - all I see are guidelines re the use of Mojang's "Names"?

Krist does not meet the criteria for "soft currencies" under the EULA, as it is not "… earned or expended only through gameplay …". It also can be "… used or transferred across free or paid servers …". So, the question now is, what is for sale in the store? Screenshots of the list of purchasable items would be appreciated.

The admin shop is based on supply and demand, and is finite by design.
When a player sells an item to the admin shop, the shop will re-adjust the price based on this new demand (either lowered or highered), and then allow for players to purchase the item.

The admin shop cannot generate Krist, obviously, so it has to have a passive source of income which is the price spread between buying and selling of items. It re-sells resources that it buys from the players. The income that it generates is given to players when the shop buys more items from the players.

The Krist earned by the admin shop is given away when the admin shop buys items from players. This shop is not one way, it is bidirectional and is more beneficial to the players than me, after all I have a net loss of over 500K in Krist from the admin shop buying peoples resources to sell again.

" if he can simply sit back and gain Krist from players on his server seeking to gain an advantage there"
This is not possible by design because I'd go broke very quickly by attempting to do that. If I wanted an advantage on other servers that use Krist as a currency, I would have not be giving out my 900K in Krist to my players when the admin shop buys their items.
The economy on SwitchCraft is going to be centered around player trade, not admin shop trade. The admin shop is essentially a Krist faucet.

The admin shop on SwitchCraft redistributes wealth, it does not generate wealth.

This type of activity does not violate Mojang's EULA regarding server hosting and does not apply as commercial usage.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

Bear in mind that there currently is no "CC1.80". The closest would be 1.80pr0, the very first alpha intended for MC1.9.4.

That's not to say you can't run it on a server - just a warning to ensure you're aware that it's far from complete, let alone stable. I mean, I don't want to belittle SquidDev's work or anything, but backups are recommended!

I'm aware that 1.80pr0 is far from complete, however I consider it complete with SquidDev's efforts.

You don't "switch to Technic". You are not giving anything up by using Technic. You download it, and use it to download and run a modpack - it's completely separate from the official launcher, or other launchers, etc. Technic does not compromise your ability to use other launchers.

It's at the top of the map, it must be important. ;)/>

Who's making this camp/station whatever it is? It's super cool looking and the land it's on is actually really nice looking. I kinda wanna buy it.

You could always come online and ask him, he's online a lot. Although I doubt that he is willing to sell it.

So whilst this isn't technically anything to do with gameplay, I thought I'd show off some screenshots of some work work we've been doing on ComputerCraft monitoring tools for the server:



I've recently extended the information gathered by CC:Tweaked's profiler, which is then extracted by a separate mod, exported to Prometheus and then plotted. Whilst all this information is available within the game, it's awfully nice to see it see it in this sort of form.

If you're interested, you can see the full dashboard. The source is currently available if people want to peruse it, but there's still some work I want to do before making an "official" release.

That's pretty cool! By the way, is there any system (be it in that dashboard, CC itself, or CC Tweaked) that tracks yield failures per system? It strikes me that really the ID and location of a system could really stand to go into the server logs every time it happens.

I've added support for logging when a computer is forcibly terminated (rather than just erroring with "Too long without yielding"), as this means there's a larger problem then a mis-behaving computer.

I'm less sure about reporting "Too long without yielding" errors, as that could get a little spammy. That being said, the in-game commands will report the maximum time a computer has run for without yielding, which means you can easily find computers which are doing an inordinate amount of work. It's possibly worth noting that CC:T does allow running computers across multiple threads, which does mean that one problematic computer is less likely to mess with other people's computers.

The scenario I've got in mind is where a user configures a system to automatically trip yield protection over and over - I assume that's still possible without having the whole computer shutting down.

I was a little confused by the task times - the read out states they're "totals", but reading the actual values in the list, surely they're way too low for that? Is it supposed to read "maximums"? What exactly are "tasks"?

Hrrm, that would definitely be possible - one would just report every time a task takes more than a threshold (7 seconds). I'd have to think about how to report it, but I can definitely add it to the todo list.

A "task" is basically any operation performed on a computer. Namely turning it on or off, or handling an event. I'm not entirely sure how Yemmel is deriving that data from the reported info, so I'd have to get back to you on why the numbers are so small. Even if a computer is doing nothing, you'd still expect an event to take about 0.5ms. For reference, these are the sort of numbers I get in-game for active usage of a computer:

Ah, I see the site display is supposed to be a "one minute average" - I guess the low figures make a bit more sense now.

I can see this ageing well. In all seriousness, I'm incredibly impressed by Computronics here. We're using its speakers (which you can see at the bottom) and it's able to blast out an awful lot of music with very little lag.

One of these days I'll have to check out how OpenComputers stores those things. If it happens to be done within NBT tags, then I suppose that WorldPorter or WorldEdit could be rigged to construct them out of building scans.

Actually, that could happen entirely INGAME! Using Plethora's block scanner you get a table of the blocks arround you when scanning with it, and the data to send to the 3D Printer is literally a table of cubes with texture strings, colours and some other properties!

I know that OpenComputers uses a print3d specific format to print them. It'd probably be relatively easy to parse a schematic file from Worldedit or MCEdit to do it.
Edit: the format is called 3dm

Well yeah, that'd be why I linked to two ComputerCraft scripts. Those aren't external tools. ;)/>

Obviously they could be rigged to create schematics for OC to process, but I was thinking along the lines of bypassing the printer altogether - literally allowing a Command Computer script to construct 3D objects directly. (Edit: Well, smaller 3D objects. They already do full-sized ones just fine.)

This may not be possible if the 3D data isn't in NBT, though. For example, regular maps store their image data inside gzips buried within your world save - which is why mapArt has to place a ton of blocks in order to "draw" on them, and is also why I'm not using them as flat-screen terminal objects (I was rather disappointed when I discovered I couldn't).

The server is still alive and well today, with highs of around 15ish players on weekends from time to time and whatnot.
