Helpful articles / Uploading Screenshots onto Forum
« on: June 21, 2015, 03:32:31 am »
Okay, so I've seen quite a few people not know how to upload screenshots to the forums, so I thought Id make a post showing how I'd do it since I dont think theres any posts about it. This is only for Windows and Linux, if anyone knows how to do it on a mac, please let me know!

Step One:
Use F2 to take screenshots.

Step Two:
Go to imgur.com, and click on the big blue button in the top corner that says "upload images". You'll get something that looks like this:
(click to show/hide)

Click "browse your computer".

Step Three (Windows Only):
(click to show/hide)

Step Three (Linux Only):
(click to show/hide)

Step Four:
Search for the picture that you want, click it, then click "Open". If you would like to upload more than one screenshot, hold the ctrl key while clicking the pictures, so that you can select more than one.
(click to show/hide)

Step Five:
Once it uploads and takes you to the image, you should see this on the right of it:
(click to show/hide)

Look for where it says "BBCode (message boards & forums)", and copy the text under it, then just paste it onto the forums here. Should look something like this:
Code: [Select]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/xhYvXDk.jpg[/img]
Step Six:
This is for if you would like to edit the size a bit, since screenshots tend to be too big for the forums (this part is optional, though it looks much cleaner):

For example this:
Code: [Select]
[img]http://i.imgur.com/xhYvXDk.jpg[/img]
would look like this:
(click to show/hide)

Too big right?

Change the link slightly, as I did in the example.
Code: [Select]
[img width=800 height=600]http://i.imgur.com/xhYvXDk.jpg[/img]
(click to show/hide)

And there you go!

Server News / Creative Togglealerts, Optipaint, and Colored Names!
« on: June 14, 2015, 04:22:11 pm »
Hey all, we now have some new commands! The first is /togglealerts, or /ta, which when on, will notify you when other players say your username.

For recruits and up, there is also a command called /optipaint. Essentially, when it is enabled, if you destroy a block, the block is automatically replaced by whatever block you are holding.

Those who have been on the server recently may have already noticed a new feature that gives players colored names above their heads, and in the tab menu. Hopefully this will make it easier to see who is what rank, resulting in less confusion for all of us.

Enjoy!

General Discussion / Impersonating Others with Name Changes
« on: June 03, 2015, 04:35:57 pm »
I've been seeing a lot of people changing their names to impersonate others, and while it may have been funny in the beginning, it needs to stop now. This goes for both SMP and creative. If I see people changing their name's to another player's names or any variation of such, they will receive a warning, and if its done again, there will be consequences.

Offtopic / Story Thing
« on: October 19, 2014, 08:43:55 pm »
Because people wanted to read it.

It had been a few days since she last talked to her boyfriend. She didn't know why, but he had been ignoring her. Not answering her texts, or her calls. He didn't even answer when she went to his house to see what was wrong.
Not that she was worried or anything. She was sure he was fine, just maybe he was in a bad mood and didn't want to drag her down. Its not like that'd be the first time he did that. As long as he had some time to himself, he’d eventually bounce back and start talking to her again. And as an apology, he’d always treat her to some ice cream and a movie.
   Even knowing there was nothing to be worried about, she couldn't help but have this nagging feeling that something wasn't quite right. Everything seemed too quiet, too still, as if the world around her had stopped rotating.
   Of course, she knew that wasn't the case. If that was true, everyone would probably be dead. However, knowing this didn't make her feel much better.
   She had a rather good life. Not great, no, but she was content with it. She had a job, not one that paid an insane amount of money, but she was able to afford to rent a small house within walking distance of her job and her boyfriend. The house was nothing glamorous, but enough to live with.
   Her boyfriend was just a few years older than her. He worked with her, actually. That was how they met. They’d only been together a few months, but she could see herself staying with him for the rest of their lives. But then, thinking that was rushing it a bit, so she tried not to dwell on that thought, and focused on the next few days, instead of decades. 
   She was still young, mid-twenties or so. Still swimming through a world full of student loans and learning how to be an adult. Her parents, who she talked to every few days or so, helped when they could.
   Slightly bored without her boyfriend, she began walking back to her house, hoping there was something interesting on the TV. It certainly wasn't how she wanted to spend her day, but it was something at least. As she got closer and closer back to home, the feeling that something was wrong grew stronger and stronger. Everything looked fine, nothing out of the ordinary, so she knew it must have been all in her head. Maybe she was getting sick. Maybe she felt off because her body was telling her to get some rest while she could, before she was up all night coughing and puking.
   It wasn't until she got back to her house that she finally realized what was wrong.
   Her house, or what remained of it, was just barely standing. It was black, charred and utterly destroyed. There had been a fire, obviously. But when? Why hadn't she known? What happened?  The tape around the yard saying “caution” over and over again told her that the fire department already came and went, doing their duty and marking it so no one would get too close.
Terrified, she went to pull out her phone to call her boyfriend, not knowing what else to do, but all that came out of her pocket was the charred remains of her phone, no longer functional in the slightest. Hadn't she just texted him a few hours ago? She was sure she did. It seemed like she did anyways. Or was she just going insane?
Slowly, she realized the phone was the least of her worries. Her arms and legs were black and disfigured. She could see bones in places, and remains of muscle in others. There was barely any skin left from what she could see. Some part of her knew that the rest of her body looked like this too, that it wasn't just her arms and legs.
Somehow, it wasn't a surprise. She’d known that she was in this state, but just didn't want to look down to see it, didn't want to accept it. Oddly enough, there was no pain, but she realized she knew the reason for that too. Dimly, she realized the reason everything felt too still was because her heart was no longer pumping blood inside of her, moving her just slightly. It wasn't the world that was still, it was her. 
She wasn't scared, she didn't have a reason to be anymore. She understood what had happened now. She was making dinner, and left it in the oven, forgetting about it until it was too late. What a way to go - death by a forgotten chicken. If it wasn't so awful, she knew her boyfriend would’ve never let her live it down.
It wasn't until she realized she’d never be able to talk to him or her family and friends ever again that she began to cry. Although, once she realized she couldn't do anything about it, she stopped.
Unsure of what else to do, she began walking towards the house. It was where she belonged, wasn't it? Even if her body had been taken away days ago, she knew her soul was supposed to stay here. For how long, she didn't know. But she supposed she should just do what she always did: focus on the next few days.

Suggestions / AFK Kicking
« on: July 31, 2012, 10:02:17 pm »
Ivy2112 posted a helpop that it was insanely laggy where he was, and when I teleported to him, I was running at 0 fps until I crashed (did this 3-4 times). We realized that someone had afk'd at a spawner for over 2 hours. I'm not even fully sure now many mobs were there, but it was at least 1000. I think we need an afk automatic kicker like we have on classic. It would be really helpful and reduce lag.

So, yesterday was technically my one year anniversary for joining opticraft. Granted, I only went on for like ten minutes then dropped off the face of the earth until around July. XD But I'm proud to say that technically I've been here for a year. :D
