Where are they? I only used WorldGuard on a few locations in the main town area.

The ones in and around my castle.

edit: The message I get when I try to open a chest is "WorldGuard: No defined regions here!"

What were you holding when you tried to open the chest? The WorldGuard mod interprets right-clicking while holding string as "list the current region and owner(s)".

Ah. I did happen to have string in my hand.

I've heard it doesn't do that if you make sure it can only ever allocate a max amount of memory, meaning set the max memory for the VM, but also set the OS's own virtual memory limits for the process as well.

Interesting. I was wondering why everyone else's server became laggy, but my local one could run for weeks on end with no problem. I limit java to 1GB on a Hyper-V VM with 2GB. So maybe keeping the limit a bit lower than the amount available helps out in some way.

If that is indeed true, it would make me think something is either leaking, or cacheing a large amount of objects in some kind of slow data structure, which just gets slower and slower to access over time, while eating up more and more memory, and the only time it bothers to clear any of it out, or stop wasting space is when there's a memory allocation failure.

But I have no idea if it is indeed the case that limiting the maximum amount of memory the process can use actually helps out to any real degree. But if it is, its probably best to limit it to a relatively small amount of ram. 1-2G may even be too much.

Bukkit seems to have trouble with memory leaking. Even without Bukkit, though, Minecraft has memory issues.

Anyway, I have a map up now: Minecraft map

What mods are installed on the server (or allow locally like many items)? surely nobody can mine that much stuff to make a rail track that long....

Certain materials were being "subsidized". Mostly they were easy-to-find materials just for the sake of saving time (like sand, wood, dirt, etc.) but we wanted our railroad ...

Even without the subsidising, it wouldn't take too long. The material for my railway was probably only a couple of days worth of mining.

Heh, most of that rail track was actually completed before I started running the server. Iron is fairly easy to find when you're exploring caves.

The mods installed on the server are just WorldGuard, Permissions and WorldEdit (required by WorldGuard), and FullChest (for the subsidized items in town).

I don't know what's on the rails, but if there's powered tiles that's gold. And I've found almost no iron at all on that server so it's not THAT easy. :(

I should log in on lunch hour, maybe start hooking up my sphere to town via rail ...

Well, about half the powered rails are made with legitimately mined gold. The other half are from when I noticed that the powered rails near town were spaced closer together than they needed to be. ;)

I'm also going to try pasting the entirety of BAF's world into some uninhabited section of mine, so you might have two spheres soon. :)

Woot! I'll have to make a skybridge to connect them ...

EDIT: How should I go about making a rail connection to town? Any specific instructions for integrating with the existing railroad?

The powered rails would be better further apart so empty carts would stop.

How do you send empty carts back then? Cary carts back? :P

Yeah, I still have to figure that one out...

Edit: Just thought of an interesting idea for a minecart hub. I'll try putting it into practice some time tonight.

Let me know what you come up with. My railroad currently terminates about 20 metres away from the town station.

I just finished demolishing an island, I got more than 5 double chests of cobble from it :D.

EDIT: I'd post pictures, but the attachment uploader always says failed.

I hope you got more than just cobble. Pretty sure theres a chest in town that gives infinite cobble.

Ya, but that'd be cheating ;). Besides, I did it because I wanted to get rid of it, I didn't like it sitting there.

I just thought this was ironic. Seeing that minecraft has tons of cubes but no real puzzelz.

Server is down

That would be the hurricane making itself known. The server lost its network connection for a few hours overnight, but it's back up now.

I also got the minecart hub working, with 6 outgoing rails and a common incoming rail coming up to the surface behind the nether portal building.
