One final bump...

Given there's no clear suggestions I could see here, or where they are they probably need to be split out, I'm going to close this suggestion down as it feels like it's ended up more of a rant than anything else.

Based on the reply to the other thread, none of these look like they would be critical to running the forums, and given the additional complexity of upgrading when we have add-on's, I'm denying this suggestion.

On the grounds that this should be being enforced anyway, I don't feel the need to write up a dedicated policy for this, if you have concerns people are obstructing administration and the running of the server you should flag it to a more senior administrator or as a final resort directly to me.

On the grounds that for every plugin that I add makes upgrading flare considerably more I'm going to decline this suggestion.

@videogamesm12#7538 I'm not sure we can, if we can then I'd like info on how, but from what I've seen it's a limitation within Bungee and Minecraft...

I'd also like @elmon's thoughts on this, as it would have to be added into the bot more than anything required in TFM.

If someone can bring me a slightly more detailed proposal it's something I'd consider.

@Telesphoreo#11097 I'll take a look. I knew we were a minor version behind last I checked but that was a little while back so possible they've pushed more releases out. Hopefully that does improve things as it'll significantly help the bot and the panel when we get one.

Keziu Stop challenging peoples votes. If you continue to do so without providing actual evidence (Which you should do as part of your own comment or to the EAO) you will be further forum sanctioned.

bc you can have one central panel to manage all the servers you have now (freedom, hub, smp, blah blah blah). eventually, it's going to become impractical to have to ssh into a bunch of different servers, make separate discord channels for separate bots, and you get the whole idea

For the record, this is in reality the reason I haven't installed something. I've made clear I want something that will be fit for purpose as the server grows, and right now I've not had time to go off, do my research and find a suitable panel that I feel will fit with the current plans and what I have in mind for the future.

@fionn#11082 A bot coded by a dutch guy in a few days vs a panel by a team of developers who have been working on it for years

There are an awful lot of issues with the bot because the bot isn't hosting the server. It's running off of a quickly written script on a whole other server that was made to be temporary.

Imo a panel should be a higher priority than you're making it because the benefits of it are clear

These issues are nothing to do with the bot or the scripts hanging... It's because CoreProtect being the piece of shit it is prevents a graceful shut down until all roll backs are completed, and then all data is pushed to MySQL... I've said this time and time again. That's why you have to run stop multiple times, because what ultimately happens is no different to if you ran tf!kill

All a panel actually is going to do as I've said time and time again is show you that it's tried to stop, and failed to stop...

@fionn#11082 Maybe there's a reason that the admins are hesitant to restart the server? It barely works lol you gotta run the stop command like four times. The whole point of a panel is that it restarts the server automatically even when it's hanging because as I've told you before Minecraft panels have been specifically designed to improve the user experience of hosting a Minecraft server. I really don't understand you when it comes to this topic, it'll make a lot of things so much easier & takes less than 10 minutes to install yet you just flat out refuse for no real valid reason

See my previous comment and comments on this...

I've said time and time again, I agree a panel is important, and it's something that I'm looking into, but I've been exceptionally busy with non TF stuff recently, and the little time I've had to actually do things for TF have been taken up by other more critical activities than this.

A panel isn't going to fix these problems, this is what you get when you use shit like CoreProtect which doesn't handle itself at all well combined with multi-hundred GB databases and worlds and expect things to run well.

If there's an issue with the bot then that needs to be flagged. Ultimately a panel is going to run exactly the same commands under the hood as the bot does.

This thread won't be approved because a panel isn't on the road map at the moment. Other things are a higher priority.

Also for the record. The server down time is because admins keep deciding to ignore the fact the server is down. If they can't be bothered to type a couple of commands into discord, I'm not convinced they are going to login to a panel. The server will auto restart on full crash or if it's stopped, other than that we just need admins to give a shit and restart the server when it's hanging...

Nope. Not going to happen. Kills server performance and stability.

Pretty sure it is... Which server are you having issues in?

@ThePyroManActualAccount#10700 No, it means we're still using stupid amounts of disk space for the world and Databases.

Updated with March 2021 Sizing.

Due to issues with out upstream host there is maintenance there needs to be a short re-start of the underlying hardware all of TF runs on at the moment. This will result in a temporary outage of all Minecraft, GMOD and the forums.

Apologies for the short notice and any inconvenience caused.

@neo#10652 the fact I drink Pepsi max over coke zero I assure you is the least of my worries.

Tastes like absolute shite. Only ever drank it because it was free and confirmed then that is never buy it...

@Rex#10613 if you have concerns around the performance of members of the staff team I would suggest you raise that with me in private rather than derail threads that were intended for the purposes of transparency in how things run...
