UA,

As you may notice we have moved away from our old vBulletin forum software to Simple Machines to better facilitate our needs as a community. I will slowly be adding and updating things on the forums as time goes by so please be patient as we go through these updates.

Due to this change you will need to reset your password so please do so ASAP. The all forum emails will come from noreply@uaclan.net they be in your spam folder in-case it does not land in your inbox.

If you had an avatar, you will need to upload a new one as I was unable to move them from the old system. Please also take the time to review your profiles and update anything that may be missing.

-Dragon

The TeamSpeak server will be shutting down at the end of the month, due to our host going out of business. So if your still using it and haven't moved over to Discord this would be the best time make the switch.

QuoteMultiplay has hosted some incredible games on our community  servers over the past 20 years and it's been a blast supporting an  amazing community of gamers. However, after monitoring for several  years, it's become apparent that the market has changed significantly.  This, combined with the significant investment that would be needed to  improve legacy code, means we've made the difficult decision to close  our community server offering. We now pass the baton onto the studios  and will focus all of our attention on ensuring you get the best gaming  experience via official dedicated servers.

See ya there.

UA,

I know it's been a while, but I'm pleased to announce that FTB Infinity Lite 1.80 is now live on the server. Please make sure to update you client to v1.80 and join us at ftb.uaclan.org:25567.


Happy Mining,
-Dragon

UA,

I'm going to keep this short, but Assassin and I have successfully brought back the Minecraft servers this week. With that said the FTB Infinity server has now been reset and is running the most current version of FTB Infinity Lite. If you had access to the last Infinity server you will still be able to join. if you don't have access please feel free to message me on Steam or find me in the Teamspeak Server.




The forums have been updated to the latest version. If you run into any problems please message me as soon as possible.


-Dragon

So it's that time again, I've switched out the servers and we have our original server back up. The map was not changed, and everything is exactly as you left it.

I have had to remove the Chair plugin due to incompatibilities with the update.

MCMMO, Lockette, Essentials & Dynmap was updated to their latest versions.

The server can always be reached with mmo.uaclan.org. No port needed its default.



Please make sure to update your game to at least 1.10.2 if you haven't done so already.


Later guys,
Dragon

It's been a few months since we've seen the FTB server and now it's back with the same world. Plus we now have a FTB Skyblock server to add to our list.

Both servers are whitelisted so if you want to join please have one of the Admins add you if you aren't already.


FTB Infinity Evolved - ftb.uaclan.org:25567
Please enable Chicken Chunks


FTB Infinity Skyblock - ftb.uaclan.org:25565



See you ingame

[TD]I've updated the FTB server to version 2.3.5. There server should be a  little more stable as this update fixes some of the issues surrounding  the server locking up.

Please make sure your version matches before joining.[/TD]

Coming soon to a chunk near you.

[TD]Soon everyone on the mainland will have RF brought right to their door.   Everyone is welcome to jack into the grid and enjoy clean free RF, but  don't forget to give back or there won't be any left.

 I'll be running transmission lines out to everyone's location, doesn't  matter if you've got a starter shack or a complex. Just drop the  coordinates here or leave a note at my complex and I'll scope out a path  to your place. Now if you're off the mainland, don't worry, all you'll  need is 2 Tesseracts to send and receive RF.

 Now for those that live in or around a town or complex, we'll need to  coordinate where your substation will be built. Don't worry I can fit it  into your theme if needed, as long as it can house everything.

 RF Power stations are welcome and I'll gladly connect them to the  system. As well as RF storage systems, but remember it's always good to  use a capacitor bank at your place in case of a black out.
 
 More updates will follow as I build out my complex, which at one point  may serve as spawn for the server and a safe zone for players. If not it  will definitely be a hub that players can come and go to almost  anywhere in the world.[/TD]

See you in-game,

UA,

I got a new TeamSpeak 3 server for us yesterday. The details are below and status banners across the site have been updated to reflect the changes to our voice chat.

You can join by going to ts.uaclan.org:12777






Have a good one guys,
Dragon

Hey guys, it's been a while since we've announced anything, so it's time to actually update everyone.

No, we are not dead, just busy. I started a new job a month ago, so I've been slightly out of it, but I'm still putting things in the works. Assassin has been working in the background, but he's not gone so don't count him out. If it wasn't for him we would not be here, or even have a place to come to in reality. Static is, as always, working hard on something new for you guys, but he'll make an announcement in the future. Mega and Trinity have been taking care of things, while I've been away for the last few weeks, as well as keeping an eye out for something new.


The Minecraft server looks down, but because we flip between FTB Infitniy and Vanilla RPG server the status banner is unable to show correct status. We will be working towards having both running 24-7 on separate ports to keep our status banners current and not misinform you. We will also be opening them up more for everyone to play on in the future. The vanilla server will have a new set of plugins running it after I've finished testing, which hasn't exactly gone well, but that's why we test things before they go live.

We've also been playing in GTA:V since launch on the PC, and we do have a crew set up on the Rockstar Social Club which you can find here. It is currently set to invite only, so you'll need someone on the crew's list to invite you. Please don't harass the current members for an invite.

TF2 is still being played by some, like Mega, so if you need a TF2 fix hit him up. I'm sure others will pop up again if enough people are playing.

There are many other games that we are in, that I haven't listed here, but I'll try to make a list of games in the future for everyone to check. Also, we're always looking for something new, so suggestions are welcome.


Mumble has mostly been unused and really was only a place holder. Trinity, Mega, a few others and I have been chatting in a server outside of Mumble since it doesn't have everything we need to operate. I've been mulling over the idea of buying a server in NYC as it is the central point between our players. We have people from many places pop in every so often so we need to consider everyone's location. We don't have people just joining from the States and Canada, we never really have since our friends come from many places. I've truly been stuck between Teamspeak and Ventrilo, but after talking with Mega, Trinity, and a few others over the past week, I think Teamspeak is our best bet. I will announce the server url and port after I've decided on a host, as they are not all created equal. We don't need that DDOS mess we had with our last host.


Last, but not least. I've finally updated our forums to the most current version available today. I know there's much to be desired, but like I've said before this all takes time. Assassin and I, when we can, will be adding things here and there, but additions to the forum are not exactly high on the priority list right now. I do plan one day changing our theme, but as of right now I still haven't found a suitable theme for us.


So Assassins, where ever you may be, it's time to truly start anew. We can and will rebuild this place to the best of our abilities. We already have an amazingly strong foundation, which I thank all of you for.


See you soon,
Dragon

First things first, yes I am officially back here at UA, and I hope never to be out that long again. As for the last 2 years, it's a long story and I'll save if for another time.

Secondly, I'm grateful for this management team that not only kept the lights on, they kept in contact with me for these past 2 years. Cold, Mega, Static & Trinity thank you for all the work put in to keep UA going, we wouldn't be where we are without you. You guys kept it together like a family and that's what UA should be, a family of gamers.

It doesn't matter if you're here to just play casually or competitively. We want this to be a playground for all, and if you love it, just apply for the clan and/or invite some friends, the more the merrier.

Lastly, since the beginning of the year, I've been in Teamspeak with everyone coming up with new ideas and of course getting me back into gaming. We have been playing mostly Trove and we do have a club setup there as well as a private club world. You should check it out if you like Voxels and MMOs, not available on Steam. We've also jumped back into Firefall, and have created an army in there for UA. I reset Static's Minecraft server last month and we've been working on a few things in there, completely in survival mode. If you want access to the server please message a manager and we'll get you white listed as soon as we can.

So if anyone would like to join us in any of these games just message us or hop into Teamspeak. Like always we're open to new games that we can play together, so don't be afraid to add something new to the mix.

Now nothing is set in stone, but there will be changes made to the community over the next year. Which includes, but isn't limited to the site, our rules and the network. Don't worry we'll keep you informed whenever a change is made.


Above all I want to rebuild this community, bring it back to what it was, and have fun.

I forgot to post this the other day, but here is an easy way to find each other when we're online.

QuoteDo you have a circle of friends you always play Minecraft with?  Maybe a  very large circle of friends?  Heck, it could just be a few friends -  one thing we all struggle with at times is coordinating a time and place  to play together, finding new and exciting servers, and communicating  with friends out-of-game.  

We've stumbled on an app recently that addresses all three of those problems - and quite a few more - it is Friends For Minecraft, and it is pretty awesome!  FriendsforMinecraft  offers a ton of features for you and your friends, to make coordinating  games, server hunts, and play-times even easier!  With FFM, you can:

• Find out what Minecraft servers your friends are playing on
[/B]

• Share Minecraft screenshots with your friends
[/B]

• Find out the best Minecraft servers to play on
[/B]

• Send messages to Minecraft friends no matter what server they are playing on, even if they're offline
[/B]

• See when your friends are online
[/B]

• Vote on the best servers, worlds and images
  

Even better, it isn't limited to just one app - You can use the Friends4MC iOS app stand-alone to create your own FriendsForMinecraft  account, and add your Minecraft friends; see when they are online, see  what servers they are on, and even vote and comment on the best  Minecraft images.

The FriendsForMinecraft web client lets users view all images being posted within the FriendsForMinecraft server, in real-time. Users can comment, 'Like' and share these photos within their other social networks!

If using your iPhone or a web-based client doesn't tickle your fancy,  the client is also available for PC and MAC, as a stand-alone  application.


 Keeping track of friends and servers is so easy, even a zombie could do it!
 
What could make this app seem even more awesome than it already is?  How about the price?  FrindsForMinecraft is FREE. The only way this app could be better is if it did your homework for you too!  So, what are you waiting for?  Check out FriendsForMinecraft, and discover a world of friend and game management you never thought possible!

Even though they said there wouldn't be a snapshot this week a new one has been released. Now you have the chance to make fireworks without any mods. You can check out the effects by going here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Firework_Rocket. For now there's no sound for the fireworks but they look good. You can not only change the effects you can have multiple colors and change the timing on the rocket before it goes off in the air. Since this is apart of the Redstone update I'm wondering if we will get launchers blocks we can hook up to Redstone circuits and make shows out of them.  

No that's not the only thing in the snapshot but we also have Enchanted books so you can easily enchant your items with an anvil. Now they can be found rarely in dungeons sometimes even unobtainable enchantments, but you can always make them by throwing them on an enchantment table.

On a final note Nether Brick slabs have been added in for people to use, I just wish they would add a way to make Nether brick.


You can get this weeks snapshot here: http://assets.minecraft.net/12w49a/minecraft.jar.

For the next 13 days you can get:

Darksiders
Metro 2033
Red Faction: Armagedon
Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

For a $1 payment

If you pay over $5.66 (Average when it was posted) you can get Saints Row the Third

After weeks of testing and plugin changes I have finally updated the server to the latest version of Minecraft. Now there are a few things that people need to be mindful of now. All drops have been set back to default Minecraft drops, so yes you will need that pickaxe with silk touch to get back your glass. With that said, please don't break the blazed spawners in the nether other people need to get blazed rods. The Nether and The End have been regenerated so by all means go kill that Dragon and bring us back the egg. Nether portals no longer work in the normally so if you want to make a portal that links to the Nether ask me or MegaSuperGeneral to link you there. Warps have been disabled for players, so please use the Minecarts to get around, and don't depend on /home or /spawn all the time. Now I have reduced the number of plugins so the server should run more smoothly for everyone in a few days, I'm rerendering the maps from scratch. Your RPG stats have not been affected and the plugin still works, you just won't get any xp for all the new 1.4 items. Like always you will notice your doors are messed up so just fix them.

Now I haven't added a new world since it would be usless right now, we already have 3 main worlds to take care of. If you want newer areas you can go walk around Ninny or Assassins world.


Happy Mining,
UA Staff

   Minecraft 1.4.2 is now live but  don't update your client just yet, when the server is updated an  announcement will be posted with any new information regarding commands  and server changes.

Just rememeber to bakup your old minecraft.jar so you can access the servers.


Full change log for 1.4.2 (Minecraft Wiki)


Happy mining

UA Staff


--- Update ---

After a long wait I have finally updated our texture pack to 1.4.2.

Download
DokuCraft UA.zip

Trinity, Lil Tankk, and I play in a server called Convoy Trucking in SA-MP. SA-MP is a multiplayer mod for GTA:San Andreas v1.0 (mod will not work with other versions) you can download the mod at http://sa-mp.com

Now I do know a few others have gone in there with us, but not everyone that has the game has played with us. If you would like to play with us just go to their site to get the ip and more info on the server.

Now the reason for this thread is to come us with a club name since we can make clubs in the server.

So far I've only come up with:

UA Trucking
Unknown Truckers
Unknown Assassins Trucking


So what I would like to know is from players that have been in the server what their ideas are. If you have an Idea please leave a link to your accounts profile page with your club name idea.


Once we can get a name and their are enough people in that server I will make an official area in the forums for the server.


on a side no if you do have GTA:SA and need to downgrade go to http://forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=41141

As of today ColdAssassin has stepped down as manager, after a long run since he will not have the time to manage everything with a new job on the way. Now this doesn't mean he will be gone he will still be administrating the servers and working on small projects when he does has time.


Now for months we have been looking at others to add to the Management position, but only one has fit the bill so far. Now it's not easy to find new managers since we look for people who are willing to help others, always willing to learn new things, as well as being around on a daily basis. So without further ado I would like to announce that MegaSuperGeneral will be taking Assassin seat as Manager of UA.


As for Minecraft news ColdAssassin and Hannah (playados149) have made a world that will be added to the main Minecraft server tonight. Now it will still be a survival world, but it was generated in Minecraft 1.3 so it will be easier to find more 1.3 generations then you would in the main world and Ninnys. So the server will be going down just after midnight eastern time tonight to add the new world and generate the map for the world that they have given us.  



As always happy gaming,
UA Staff

After a week of testing I can finally say the RPG server has been updated to the latest server so everyone can update their clients to the newest version.

With that said there are a few new things on the server.

Players can have multiple homes 5 max. To set more homes all you need to do is /sethome [name]. After you have added multiple homes you can see the list when you do /home, this also means when you want to go home you will need to type in which one you want to go to. Also the last bed you have been in will take up a slot and will be your default spawn after death.

The portal to Ninnys world no longer works, but you can still get their via a warp sign in the portal shack near spawn. Just right click the sign and you will be sent to Ninnys world free of charge.

Jungle Trees now drop the correct sapling so the tree farm will be filled with jungle trees on the lower level.

Trees no longer have gravity enabled, so if you have a tall tree don't leave the rest of the tree floating in mid air cut it down. Now if you use the Tree Feller ability it will knock down the whole thing.

Cocoa farm will be added to the farm in Central City on the lowest level.

Chat colors are as follows:
White for new players.
Gold for players with build rights.
Orange for administrators.

You will notice that the MOTD has changed. It shows the amount of cash you have, any mail you might have, and also the time in the current world your in.

I would advise everyone to check out /rules and /info when you have time. More info will be added to the lists when it becomes available.

You can also request to teleport to other players just type in /tpa and the name of the player you want to go to. They will accept or deny your request.

The economy system will not be in use just yet, but once I make a proper price list you will be able to buy and sell items and blocks. This doesn't mean you can't trade with villagers since it will not interfere with them.

You will also be able to chat once again with the people who are viewing the map on the website.


The build server has been shutdown indefinitely, but it may show up again on the RPG server as part of another update which may also include a pvp world in the future. As promised though I have uploaded the world files from the build server just over 303MB download. Build.7z (You will need 7zip or WinRar to open it.)


I am still trying to update the Texture pack to 1.3, but the site I use to customize it seems to be having a problem putting the pack together. As soon as they fix the problem on their end I will update the DokuCraft pack we use for the server.


Happy Mining,
UA Staff

Minecraft 1.3.1 is now live but don't update your client just yet, when the servers are updated an announcement will be posted with any new information regarding commands and server changes. I've been testing a new plugin to replace our current command system in case the developer doesn't update the plugin. (I think we lost the guy to Diablo 3, sometimes you just can't get enough.)

Just rememeber to bakup your old minecraft.jar so you can access the servers.

Also if you haven't played Minecraft before try out the demo, you just might like it.

Full change log for 1.3.1 (Minecraft Wiki)

Happy mining,
UA Staff

I saw this today and felt like its the 90's all over again, but this time it's real. Leave it to the Japanese to make something like this. With this software you can monitor your networks for cyber attacks.



First thing I thought was Ghost in a Shell when watching this. Some even think about the movie Hackers, I can see why, but what do you guys think.

This thread is not to rage on how you or someone else has been mic spamming or muted. I don't want to see walls of text about anything I want to see a civilized discussion on the matter.

Now I know people can mute you client side, but at times it's not enough since you won't be able to talk over them since most of the time you wont even know that they are spamming.

I also understand that people can lag because of the mic spam as well, some people have it worse then others. Now if an admin sees that it mean that it could be a problem for others. Assassin and I wouldn't notice this since we has a ton of bandwidth, but other with ADSL, DSL, or cable will notice it a lot since they won't have the bandwidth to support the game and the audio streams. Personally I would rather have some type of Shoutcast stream for the server that people can control on their client to avoid this problem all together.

Another thing I think we should look into is what's spammed on the mic. I know not everyone will be happy with what is spammed by one person, but maybe we can get to some middle ground on what should be spammed.


This is not a discussion on who can and can't mic spam since it is a whole nother matter.

(If anyone has something relevant to the discussion that was said in one of the other threads by all means quote it here.)

First 2 rounds were won by xxDeloxx while the last round was won by RockCambo.

You guys win a one way ticket to The End in the RPG server to kill the dragon and claim the egg.

They have also received invites to the Firefall Beta.

Congratulations to our winners.


The next Hunger Games will be announced at a later date, most likely it will be at the beginning of next month.



UA Staff

I have updated the renderings for the world maps with our DokuCraft pack as well as the Day/Night cycle. Now with that said I've removed The End from the maps since the End is no longer a valid place to build since once a month it will be deleted so others can get a Dragon Egg. I will be Building a Museum in central for the people that get an egg each time, this means that the same group of people can't get a new egg for 3 Months. Now the last thing you will notice about the world maps is that the cave views are no longer there, since then can be used to find peoples hidden rooms.


I've fixed the problem with sheep not regrowing wool. Now this does come with a drawback since I've had to disable block protection on Endermen, so if there is a block missing on your house you know why.


On a final note the UA Hunger Games will be held next Saturday at 8pm EDT. I will post a port for you to join an hour before the event. Now if you would like to record the event please pm me your MC name so I can give you special rights to record the players easier. Now this doesn't mean players in the games can't record the game from their view. If you do make a recording please make it available to the editor of the video, speaking of which I need someone to take care of editing the video before we can upload it to the clan's channel.


Happy Mining
UA Staff

I have just finished updated the last of the plugins needed to keep the servers going. What does this mean for you as a player, you'll have all your commands back that's right you can do /home, /spawn, /warp again.

In the RPG server you can lock your brewing stands so that people don't steal your potions while your away, as well as iron blocks, enchanntment tables, jukeboxes. When you die you don't loose your experience or level anymore, so don't worry when you die with a high level. The log gravity is back so don't worry about climbing into the large jungle trees to cut them down. If you haven't already checkout the mcMMO wiki for updated information you can find it at: http://mcmmo.wikia.com/wiki/McMMO_Wiki.

If you haven't noticed yet the servers don't need Spoutcraft anymore.

The new UA DokuCraft pack is avalable for 1.2.


UA Staff

I just wanted to wish Trinity a Happy Birthday.

I hope you got something nice today form your daughter.

Since yesterday I've been updating the different sections of the site. As well as adding a few new features to making posts with YouTube easier and a little bit of eye candy to make the forum layout a little better.

For starters you will notice that it shows my country flag and gender in my post now. If you go to Settings > Edit Profile you will see new drop down menus for your Gender and Country Flag. (Flag icons may change in the future.)

People who have not chosen an avatar now have a default one to fill in the void in your post, visitor messages, profile pages, and any other location that shows your avatar.

I've added a Spoiler code to the forums, so if you want to hide text, images, or videos you can now. When making a new post or thread in the advanced editor just click the icon and insert what you want inside the tags.

Last, but not least, if you post a YouTube video link in a post without the Video tags it will automatically fix it for you once you hit the submit button.


Now if anyone finds a bug or runs into a problem feel free to post it here or in the help section.

Also on a side note the Minecraft RPG server no longer uses Spout, but since the server can't be updated yet you might want to keep using SpoutCraft since it still uses the older version of Minecraft.


Happy Gaming,
UA Staff

I have added a map plugin for the Minecraft RPG server and the site. To access it you can click on the world icon on the home page next to the server, or you can go to the forums and click the "World Map" link in the RPG forum. You can see the position of any player in the world, chat with them (You need to join the server at least once or it will show your IP), and also points of interest. You can also change the map from a flat, to surface, and cave map. Just hover over the arrow on the right hand side of the map, each world has it's own views. You can also click on a player's name in the list and go to their location on the map.

You will also notice that we have added our servers info on the home page. They link directly to their Forum, Server Stats, Mods you may need to join, and any Extras.

We have just updated the RPG and Build server to Minecraft 1.1, so if Spoutcraft asks you to update today you can click yes.

It now snows right next to Central City, so don't be surprised to find snow on the ground.

Here's a small reminder of what was done in Minecraft 1.1

• Melons and Pumpkins can now grow on Dirt, instead of only on Farmland.
• New settings in Server.properties:
• level-type
• spawn-npcs

• Magma Cubes can now drop Magma Cream on death.
• In SMP servers, non-ops are kicked if they spam in chat too  much (Ops are not notified of the kick, they must assume that the player  was auto-kicked)
• The distance that Wheat attracts friendly mobs has increased from 2-3 blocks to 8-9 blocks.
• All Music discs except for "11" can be dropped from creepers killed by skeletons.

Sorry for the wait

If you have a smart phone and a Steam account check out the Steam App on your systems market place. I just got this update today saying it's open to all users.

Now you might ask what can you do on the Steam App. Well you can chat with your friends on Steam were every you are, even if your signed in via your PC. You can check out peoples profiles, groups, game news, reviews, buy games, and even stay up to date with sales. As an added plus everything you send or get while chatting goes to your PC synonymously so long as your signed in there.

Now this is still in beta and there are a few minor bugs, but it's still a good way to stay connected when your not at home or you just don't want your PC on all day to get messages.


Have a good day,
UA Staff

I have added a texture pack chooser on the server so that you can change your pack while on the server. With that said the DokuCraft and JohnSmith packs are available via the server now, Doku being the default. To change your pack simply just press the ~ key on your keyboard and the menu will popup showing you the available packs. If you don't have the pack it will automatically download it for you.

The 3 DokuCraft packs Light, Dark, and High will be removed once the plugin is updated.


I have added Webs and Boats to the drop plugin so now if you break them they will drop the right item. This will not stop a boat from breaking if you crash into the shore line.


That's all for now
UA Staff

Today I've added a Roster to show all current Clan members that are registered on the site. If you are not on the roster it's because you have yet to submit a clan application to be reviewed by the Managers. If at any time you notice someone in game using a UA tag and they are not on this Roster please tell them to register on the forums and send in an application. With that said I would like all users that haven't put there Steam ID on the forums, that have one, to do so now so we don't have to ask you what your forum name is.

You will also notice that we have added a new field in your profile for your Minecraft ID. If you do have Minecraft please fill it in with your Minecraft Gamer Tag. It will make it easier for us to whitelist you if you request to be added in the future. Now it will not show up in your post like all the other gamer IDs, but it is on your profile page. In the future you may see it appear in your post.


On a side note we will announce when the Minecraft servers are updated to 1.1. If at anytime Spoutcraft does ask you to update Minecraft check the site to see if we updated the servers or deny the update and try to join the server.

Have a good day,
UA Staff

Assassin And I will be moving the Minecraft and Web server to a new location today. Since they will be closer it will be easier for us to fix any issues that may arise. So the servers will be offline till later tonight if not the late afternoon today.

Don't worry about the Minecraft servers we've backed everything up so your homes are ok and aren't going anywhere. There was a slight glitch in updating the server last night. Assassin has been working through the night to get the server back up.


Sorry for the inconvenience,
UA Staff

The RPG server has all it's old commands back so you can now set your home, go back to spawn, or warp to any locations we have listed.

The Build server is now being logged for griefers and it now has a backup in case anything crazy happens so we don't loose our world. You may also set you home and go to spawn in this server as well. We will add warp points once people want to add them just as an Admin.

We also have a new Developer on board named krazyswagga. So we would like to welcome him into the clan and the team. We've know him for a year and he's been working on plugins for some time. Maybe he'll even ask you for idea or two.


UA Staff

I have updated the RPG server finally, but I would like to  give everyone a heads up before you start making post about certain  things not working on the RPG server. Most of the plugins I have loaded  are not all stable builds and you may run into problems while using the  server. Now I know for a fact you may not always get your items back on  death, it's only because the plugin is not fully compatible with 1.0.1  yet. I have also forced Spout so that people can't use their mods in the  server, and later on I will load our official texture pack once all plugins are  updated. Now we also have loaded permissions again to prevent people  form griefing the world without and admin giving them permissions. As of now you  should be able to lock your doors, chest, and furnaces, without a problem. Also the RPG plugin has added fishing as a skill.

Please  remember there will be no tunneling in the server, but you may dig out  everything under your house and only under your house. Caves once found  will be available to the community to dig out all of the ore. We will be starting with 1 town for now, but within the next week we will allow 1 more town to be made.

I will work on the build server as soon as I can, so that everything is protected in there.


Sorry for the delay,
UA Staff

The Unknown Assassins Staff would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays. We hope you have a good time spending it with family and friends, and also that you get everything you wanted this year.


Here are a few updates.
- The Minecraft build server has now been whitelisted for security reasons to stop all attacks on the server by Griefers.
- Both Minecraft servers will be updated as soon as all server plugins are updated, which will also mean a new authentication system will be added at a later time.
- A Terraria server was started last week and is located at uaclan.org with the default port. Ask around for the password, and please don't post it.
- A Killing Floor server has also been started at uaclan.org with the default port.
- Removed a loophole in our double post prevention system.
- The site will be down this Friday night after 10:00PM EST for maintenance, sorry for any inconvenience.


Lastly we will be looking for an experienced coder in the near future for our Minecraft servers. We will post more information on the subject soon.

---Update---

- Site has been updated, if you have any problems feel free to post your problem or PM me.
- With this update we also get over 150 new smilies to use.
- We have added a new feature to the site so that  things aren't so hard on our server. When posting or sending a new PM  you can now upload images to ImageShack and upload anything else to MegaUpload.

Happy Holidays,
UA Staff

I know I'm a day late, but some crazy things happened this week so I haven't been able to get online.

Anyway Minecraft is officially out and ready for download via your client so just update it to get to 1.0.

Now we only have our build server running Minecraft 1.0 since out RPG server doesn't use the standard server files. The RPG server will be updated as soon as the server software and it's plugins are updated to 1.0. I will save to world form the RPG server and release it, in what ever state it was last left in. I will also shortly release an update for the texture pack we use on our server.

A full changelog for Minecraft 1.0 can be found at: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Version_history#1.0.0

I for one want at least a multiplayer like SA-MP, the multiplayer in IV was garbage, but what are a few things you would like to see in the next installment of GTA series.

well here it is the next GTA located in San Andreas, funny thing is GTA SA was the 5th game.

The 4th pre-release of 1.9 was loaded up yesterday by jeb and you can download it from here.


What we know so far about this release is you now have access to the Ender Realm. I was in creative mode and looked like a single solitary island, and there is no way out, Nether gates don't even work there.

If you want to find a gate use an Eye of Ender to find a Stronghold, and you will need about 12 Eyes to open the gate.

Dragons aren't in the game just yet, but maybe we will see them next release.


Post anything you have that I may have missed.


That's all for now
UA Staff

Jeb has release the next installment of 1.9 pre-releases. You may download your client here.

What is included in the release:

• Crystal Block
• Golden Apples' tool-tip appears pink - the apple itself has a shine effect
• Baby animals

If you want to know what it says on the enchanting table you can translate it with this

Before Tober asks me if colored sheep make colored babies here the proof it won't work.


Cows


Chickens


Pigs

Happy Crafting,

Mojang is moving fast to get the next release out. So just like last time we have another pre-release from Jeb this time for Minecraft 1.9.

From what we know so far therer should be changes to the Nether, Snowmen, and NPS in the villages.

If you want a copy you can get it at: http://assets.minecraft.net/1_9-pre/minecraft.jar

Take some screenshots or videos of what you find and post them here.

Update:

I've been roaming around in creative mode so far and found a few things.

First new mob is a Magma Cube, got a shot of him mid jump.


Nether Ruins with second new mob the Blaze.


Closer look of the Blaze, there was also a spawner for them behind me in a room.


Seems lava flows for longer in the Nether now. Wonder if I could make infinite lava pools now.


Lilly pads in the swamps now.


Next to the glass pane you see Nether Bricks and Nether Brick Fences.


Next to the Ender Pearl you will see a Blaze rod (Dropped by the Blaze), a Ghast Tear, Gold Nuggets (dropped by Zombie pigmen), and Nether Wart (plant)


Found some NPCs only seems to be 2 one with a white apron (Female) and one without (Male).  I don't think they liked the fact I broke into their house.



Also Ghast seem to have a new sound when they fire at you.

Endermen currently have no sound.

Also water and lava now drop through other blocks Video:

UA Community;

Jens has uploaded a 1.8 pre-release for everyone to try out. So get your copy at http://assets.minecraft.net/1_8-pre/minecraft.jar. As always remember to backup your old jar file before you put this in your Minecraft folder.

See what you can find in game and post a screenshot here. If you use a seed put it in your post so we can view the world that was generated for ourselves. Can't wait to see what you got and what you can build.


On a side note for all those that still haven't applied for clan membership and wearing a tag you have till the 15th to apply. Afterwards you will need to wait on being added to the clan and the right to wear the tag, you may also be asked to remove the tag until then.


Thank you,
UA Staff

This is for all my racers out there.

Do you like racing down the highway to get to work or school. How about squeezing into a tight spot to get out of traffic. Well this November 15th will be you're ticket to go as fast as you want, cross county, from Catpost's house all the way to mine. That's right you get to race in some of the fastest cars you can find.

Graphics so far look fantastic, but will be seen on the release date.

It will be available on the 360, 3DS, PS3, and PC.

Trailer

Once it's out and I have it installed I'll give a review on the game, and if I can start a UA racer club in there.

For all those that played with me in our PEN1 server remembers this.

Here is a Fugitive (PEN1 2.0) video as well.

You will see a lot of people in here that have been lost to time.

If I could only bring those days back.

My name is Da Dragon Master of NYC, but you can call me Dragon or Master.

There is just to much information to post so I'll keep it short.

I've been gaming for over 12 years now and been on the net since the early 90s. If my gaming style is too hard for you I can't change it due to old habits. When you play in tournaments for a good 3-4 years it's kinda hard to play like your not in one. So please don't cry that I kill you too much or that I hack, I try to make myself an easy target. I've been building and running sites like this one for over 10 years now, you could say it's almost second nature. I always try to have a good time online and in game, but like everyone else life gets in the way with work and all. You'll almost always find me in Ventrilo at night, for the most part, during the week. I don't get paid to do any of this, I just do it out of the kindness of my heart. The only thing I ask from everyone is respect, appreciation, and above all not to be harassed. Just remember I can be your best friend or your worst enemy, but it's up to you.

This area is to be used only for the following.

1. To show off and release any graphical work that you've personally made.
2. To request graphical works from others. Please use the [REQ] prefix when making a new thread.
3. To start a thread for others to request graphics from you. Make sure to specify what you're willing to make and there's no need to be a prefix for the thread.

These guidelines may change at any time without notice.

For all those that saw the .hack//Sign anime series years ago and thought why can't we game like this, well guess what we soon can.
 
Sony has designed a headset with adjustable 720p OLED screens (1280x720 0.7-inch) and 5.1 surround sound. Only downside is it has no microphone, but who knows since it's just a prototype. The system can run in 3D as well as a 2D mode. Now the price tag is going to be around $783, but for the experience of a 750 inch screen 20 meters way with built in surround you can beat the price. Just a 60 inch 3D screen from Sony costs over $5000 and that doesn't even include the surround sound system.

Now this was showed to us at CES 2011, but Sony is actually going to make it.
