I think you should be more empathic here. They just lost a family member and gaming is really not relevant in this moment.

Give them time. Suggest them to buy the pc at some point or at least pay for the files. If that's not possible maybe appeal to their emotions for juggernaut. Maybe gaming is stupid for his family but it was important for juggernaut. And he raised a server widely known in this community. You would continue this legacy.

But most important.. Give them time. In such a moment other things are really more important

Ok, I was trying not to have to go into detail. But I guess , I need to so people wont think im a dick or not empathic.

I reached out to the cousin who understands and is a gamer himself. He is the one that came on and posted in our discord so we would know.

He understands the importance of having the server files. He is the one that caught crap from Juggs family when he asked if he could have the server. So he could get me a copy. I told him it was ok to wait to ask. Because I understand the stress the family is going through. I also offered to buy the server in like a month or two or how ever long it takes for the family to return to a normal life.

Yes we have BP everything we can and have saved those Bp.

Im not expecting to ever get the server files. But if we do thats great.

Juggs ex wife is the one that has it now. Little Juggs lives with her and would play RW when he came to Juggs home. The family life was kind of messed up which is what happens when parents get divorced .

In no way was I trying to force getting the server right now. I asked the cousin about it. I did not know he was just going to ask straight ahead right then. Was not my intention.

But anyways ,

Avanar , your very correct in everything you said. I tried to make it that way , just did not know the cousin was going to bring it up right then to the rest of the family. If I had know that I would waited at least a month.

As you know Juggs passed away.

I have been with Juggs since he started WF. This spring I was flying out to him get get a run down on how to operate the server and He was going to give me server files so If anything happened to him I could still carry the server on.

Will that did not happen fast enough.

Im new to running a server. I have been reading through the new server posts and commands.

But i have questions.

I want to build my own server like Juggs had but it might take a min to afford to build it. So If i rent a server will i be able to add plugins to it?
If later down the road I finally get my own built server built will i be able to transfer all those files over to the new built server so we dont lose everything that people will have built?

When building a server do I need a GPU? And what im i looking for in way of a MB ram cpu?

Sorry , Im trying to get this up and running ASAP. We dont know how long before his family pulls the plug on his server . We have BP everything that Juggs as built in game so we can add them into the new server to Remember and Honor Him.

I have tried to get the family to let me be able to get the server files. But basically its a Go PHk yourself deal, since his family thinks gaming is stupid.

The server Im looking at right now if I rent one is GTX gaming, Im in the USA. or is there another server place anyone recommends?

Im open to anything. Thank you all.

It's incredibly sad and shocking to hear that He has given so much for the community... my deepest condolences to his family and his friends. Rest in peace, Juggernaut!

Unfortunately I don't have access to the server Juggernaut sent me some world files in February 2024, but it only contained the chunks (i.e the actual world data), without storages, player data or custom images...

It would be a real loss if the server were to disappear, but maybe Dreemacca has access to the server, as mentioned by Urshala ?

Unfortunately Dreemacca does not . : (

I have been with Juggs since he started the server. He will be missed VERY much.

Red, Is there anyway to be able to take over the Wild Frontiers server? His family is very bitter of him and towards the gaming side of things. I was just wondering if Juggs ad given you admin on his server for when you had come on. Im hoping that you say yes and are able to copy the server files and I could get them to keep our community up and running and to honor juggs

Now that we have new round top doors I've realized that we also need half-rounded top doors so that we can make double doors that fit into an arched opening. Maybe also some gothic arch top doors could be interesting. Gate options would also be nice, such as wrought iron, picket fence, etc.

I would also love to see some hanging lanterns similar to the ones in the java version. While I can make my own using blocks, the flame from the torches behind a glass enclosure just doesn't render well and the flame itself becomes completely invisible when looking through glass. Maybe there can be different eras of lantern with torch/candle flame, gas flame, and electric bulb.

Alternatively, or maybe in addition, there could be torch/gas flame/lightbulb objects that could be placed by players into their custom built light fixtures as a light source.

There are lanterns just like in Java that you can hang

Quote from Avanar

the only square blocks are those for the floor. which i used really only to have a "grid" to work on. you could build this on any ground, even natural. or blueprint it without the blocks. or put more effort in the blocks so they are not square.

but that hut is only a demonstration. any change with anything else than a "plant" (rocks count as plants) will cause the hut to collabse.

honestly, i think if you want such a hut you could build your own rocks with the blocks. use several shapes, slide them into each other, tinkle a bit with the surface mode to give it an odd shape and at some point you end up with a nice, uneven, natural looking rock. that you can blueprint and use to build a stable version of that hut. takes a lot more effort of course but if its that what you want, it can be done.

Quote from Avanar

easy. take a block in an active hot bar slot.

shift + arrow keys / pgup/dn will change the block dimensions

if you activate ALT GR (the key right of the space bar) the top side of the block will turn red. Then you use the same keys to change the dimensions of the surface, giving the block a very unique shape. leave that mode by pressing again ALT GR.

And last but not least... use the ctrl key to hold the block in place and ctrl + arrow keys / pgup/dn to move around the block and maneuver it into the place you want. it can also be used to slide blocks into each other.

And the general shape of the block you can change by right clicking it in your inventory, change shape and you get a whole variety of given shapes.

have fun!

Thanks I'll try playing around with that

Quote from Deirdre

i meant you can give the blocks any shape you want,

really? how do do change the shape of a block to one that is not in the list?

im having the opposite problem , I placed water into a pool with blocks under it three days ago and now the water went through into the ground this happened last night.

Quote from Groovaholic

Both ways are optional which i have used but maybe at some point in the future we could have this as an option shape to have, a bit like how you can build a stone wall/house in Sons of the forest?

yes as long as each rock in that picture was individually placed so you could stagger.

Quote from Deirdre

. I think you want to be able to pick up stones to collect and process them and not use the stones on F6.

Terrain blocks should be added at some point. maybe that would be an option for you.

yes just not in a block form. more of a single round form.

Quote from Avanar

you mean (more or less) like this?

kind of , that still as the the square block feel to it, But you did do a very nice job job.

I know your busy fixing things and you have other stuff, but maybe down the road . I came across this picture and was looking at and it just popped out at me. In this picture I was like i want to be able to build this. But we dont have rocks that can be used this way. You can see the stacking and staggering of them. I would love to be able to walk around and when we pick up those smaller rocks they go into your bag as a rock and not stone. We get stone when we use the drill. I think this would open up a lot more to being able to build things. Then we could also resize the rocks to our liking.

Quote from red51

Hmm... that's really weird Do you see a preview of the torch/fire, or is that also missing? Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce this issue... if this happens again after reloading the world, do you mind sending a report? To do that, just open the console (` or ~) and type "report" (maybe add some additional information like "cannot place torch here").

ok Red , I reloaded and everything is working now down there. Thanks

I love the new update and I know there is going to be lots of bugs. But I do have a problem, is there a way to slow down the number of caves? Its like a ant farm underground. I can hardly walk or ride a horse with not falling into a cave . Its a little much. Also the horse takes forever to turn left or right. Thanks again Red for all you do.!!!

Like it says, when down at -474 feet , i cant place a torch or floodlight or bonefire or anything that would give off more light to be able to see. I dont know if this is sa bug or not. I can place blocks just no type of light. I can hold a torch but that is it.

Quote from Avanar

this friday we get the update.

So your saying sometime tonight? Awesome

Im just hoping for a drawbridge. But horses and caves, Cant wait

Quote from Deirdre

Collision on/off means that with collision off, a door disappears into the ground and is not placed correctly on the surface, a block then also disappears almost completely into the ground.

Normally this would mean that a tree couldn't extend into the house, but this couldn't quite be achieved without affecting the game.

Rotation mode means the axis on which your component is rotated.
Mirroring means allowing a door to open to the left or right or front or back.

With surface processing you can shape your component as desired.

With "commands" in the command line, you can see a lot of descriptions (by using the creative mode).

Thank you, I was wondering why blocks would sink half way into the ground and not stay on top.

Quote from Avanar

So...

if the element is active in your task bar...

ctrl key will hold the object in place without placing it

ctrl key + arrow keys or pgup / dn will turn the element in different directions, depending on the set angle (standard: 15 degree)
shift key + arrow keys or pgup / dn will extend or shrink the element in the given direction

arrow keys or pgup / dn will move the element so you can maneuver it into the place you desire

in general you can do a lot of settings by holding the C button. A radial menu will pop up allowing you to do several settings.

i.e. the angle your elements will turn

the positioning precision your elements will move when you maneuver them

the precision in what steps you can extend or shrink the element

save some presets that you use more common than others

also important is that:

- with the return / enter key you can activate or deactivate the modular placing. means that any element will automatically dock onto an already set element that you are aiming at. like a magnet
- pivot points - each element has several pivot points, which make it easier (a lot easier) to build round structures. aim at such a point, use CTRL to hold the element in place and use i.e. ctrl + arrow key to rotate the element. it will rotate around the axis of the pivot point you were aiming at

- with the G key you activate the grid. +/- can make it smaller or larger. the grid is a set "net" of lines on any surface in the world. it allows you to allign walls, etc. in great precision because it eliminates the freedom of placing and hence making it easier to build in straight lines.

collission on/off - i think, but not entirely sure. i never tried that one.

i hope that helps you for a quick start - have fun

Thank you

So i bring up the Construction element and i see like collision on and off and other tabs with different settings. I dont know or understand a lot of them. Is there a video or a page i can read on how all the commands work? I have hit f1 and it tells me some but not all. I have only built in survival mode. So now in creative Im kind of lost.

OK I love the work you have put into the portal plugin. So this plugin is great if your on a creative only building platform. But it sucks for a pvp platform. If any player can just bring up the command and see the list they can use it to gain entrance right into someones place. How is this fair to someone? PVP players should have to seek out and find peoples claims not just type a command and walk right in. Our server is both pvp/ PVE. Its not fair for those who are just building but dont want to pvp.

Can we get the new one but operates like the old version on Java?
