Due to a number of bugs the Deep Dark on our Novus Remix server is currently disabled.
We are investigating on this issue and will reopen it as soon as possible.

This thread has been opened to track the progress and inform the user base.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

All issues which began on the 12th of November 2017 have been resolved.

The affected services are back online. The reason for this outage was a physical defect of an HDD as well as a simultaneous failure of an SSD in our server HV01.

For the technical folks this is what the servers sata controller threw into the kernel log:

this error has been thrown over and over again fatally crashing the controller in the end. We have resolved the issue with the help of Hetzner’s technicians which did replace the affected disks within a few hours. Great support as always!

Steelminer

Lol dont think anyone was really concerned, Since only like 4 people at most play on it

Due to a technical fault in one of our root servers, a large part of our services went down, including the forums, our website as well as some of our Minecraft servers (Modern Millenaire, Novus and Pure Vanilla).

We resolved the issue and apologize for the inconvenience.

@administrators @Global-Moderators @Novus

Yesterday (12.01.2017) we had a downtime of our forums from around 18:00 (11.01.2017) till 12:00 (12.01.2017) CET. Thanks to some of our members we have been noticed and got the forums back up.

We are actively investigating in the cause of these downtimes as it has happened multiple times in the past few months. For this we are in contact with the developers of the forums software.

Aside from that we hope you enjoy your stay and are excited for the upcoming updates / modpacks in the next few months!

This graph shows the downtime:

@tjwmagic said in Merry Christmas!:

@Bent you said we might be unresponsive for the next 48 hours. I say no! I say we have a very Merry update coming your way to a Novus near you! @Novus

:clap:

Awesome!

“Nerver Settle” - @J4kee please don’t bug me about citing One Plus here ;)

Novus:
Osmium gibts im Biom “greater Hills” heisst es glaube ich. Und eventuell noch in 1 oder 2 anderen Biomen. Dort aber dann massig. In anderen Biomen hingegen 0.

Die Kuh ist cool! :cow2:

Due to a technical failure the forum has been rolled back by about 48 hours.

We sincerely apologise for this and are working on a solution to avoid this in the future.

Spoke to him just earlier, We added a quick system to see if it can be fixed and just going to wait and see now if any more problems arise I will request the old system to be put in place

4-5 times now XD
and every time at least a 15min rollback

I was just thinking that. @Bent @PixL0r

@MrGoodkat,

danke ür deine Anmerkung, wir werden dies in unserem Team besprechen und uns so schnell wie möglich zurück melden.

Ach mist ;)
Ich versuchs in Deutsch.
Der Castor Server startet in der Zeit in der ich Spiele gefühlt alle 30-60minuten neu. Nicht weil der Server den Automatismus hat das zu tun sondern weil er crasht.

Draconis läuft viel stabiler, klar weniger user und Fortschritt nicht so weit etc. kann alles eine Rolle spielen. Aber es gibt auch unterschiedliche Configs und das merkt man z.B. daran das meine Freunde von Castor auf Castor nicht in meine Chests schauen können. Meine Freunde in Draconis aber in meine Chests auf Draconis schauen können. Ich denke der Server hat andere Einstellungen die eventuell besser sind.

Besteht eventuell die Möglichkeit die Draconis Einstellungen nach auch auf Castor anzupassen?
Kann natürlich auch ein Fehler sein das jetzt wieder lauffähige System anzufassen ;) aber ich denke das macht ihr so oder so ;)

Thanks for the info, and good luck with what you are studying ^^
It´s always hard (sometimes less) isn´t it ?

Anyways, good luck and maybe cya later :)

Regards,
Philipp

@Nick You’re welcome!

We thank everyone for their patience and for informing us!

You girls and guys are awesome :thumbsup_tone1:

Sounds like the bug had babies. Because the servers are messed up again >:D

Just a quick info about the latest update, we had to tweak some configs and remove The Elysium as this mod is really outdated and buggy / incompatible with the rest of the mods in the pack.

Updates

novus-bevo-configs to 2.0.0.1 novus-bevo-assets to 2.0.0.1

Deletions

The Elysium

Hey there,

as of today, you might have noticed the following thing in the help section of our forums.

So basically this is nicer than having the [In Process] and [Resolved] tags, which had to be manually added before.

If you open a new thread in the help section, you will automatically open it as a question!

We as moderators can then mark a question as solved which creates this nice and soothing green box :slight_smile:

Also as admins we can convert old / already existing threads to questions using the topic tools (make sure to remove the threads title tags in brackets!):

So let’s tag some people:

@administrators @Global-Moderators @Novus

If you encounter client crashes, try removing Optifine from your mods folder. We are looking into it!

Update:

see this

I apologize for the inconvenience, a fix will arrive early this morning (CEST).

The extreme shaders is installed beside, sadly crashed my hole my xD Seems like my Pc cannot handle harder shaders. :o

@Bent, why exactly IS it being removed? Like to me I don’t see any performance problems, (I mean I don’t see any block lag or chat lag or any frames lag or any lag in general) and are you sure its draconic evolution? I freaking love this mod and would hate to see it go :/

O :/ that’s bad. Not the IT part, the medical part. Well, at least you got to be a boy scout. My dad wouldn’t let me because apparently my brother’s recreational soccer was more important. This was 7 years ago and I’m still pissed about it :angry:

@SteelminerHD said in Novus Alpha - The lag has been fixed!:

Hello dear dev team and Bent,
The users left because of the anarchy that begun, when the antigriefplugin was removed. Everybody stole and the people who not recognised it, got griefed soooo hard, that they left. Me included.
I just went on this game again for singleplayer. I thought, whats with the server… and i saw many players… so i went back on.
You did a great job with adding the claimingsystem into the server, so everybody can claim now.
Still a big thanks to you and a good weekend. :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal: :military_medal:

@tmax_hand @SteelminerHD

Yes you are correct, the switch was pretty rough and I see that as a fault on our side. We should have decided first what exactly should have been our target and we should have added FTBUtilities before removing GriefPrevention.

Thx guys ur de best :D

A fix for the ore bug is WIP, and we hope what we can launch it this or next week

wait wtf thaumcraft golems on space stations? why tf do u need thaum golems on- no wait I can see that. there is like, a machine for every action a golem can do, why not use le machines?

Check out our sale, starting now and running for 24 hours (until 17.08.2016 - 13:38 CEST)

Never settle, always change | Unitedworldminers

Looking to get into Open Modular Turrets and protect your base @Novus?

I can just highly recommend this series. Finally, a series in which all the IT stuff that is shown is real / is illustrated really well and accurate. Not the average stupid “tech idiot style”. And nope, we are not sponsored for this, just me, Bent enjoying this series :D
