Minecraft FAQ
« on: July 26, 2011, 04:19:43 am »
Server IP: mc.echo-gaming.net

Q: Can I have op?
A: No, you may most certainly NOT have op. Promotions are done by staff when we feel you are very active, and we could use you. Don't ask us, we'll ask you.

Q: How can I get FREE diamond?!
A: Click here to read the thread on how to get free diamond.

Q: Can you make room for me?
A: No, and if you ask again we'll ban you.

Q: How do I remove a shop?
A: Hold down Shift (Sneaking) and left click to destroy it.

Q: Can you spawn me some items? I died and lost them!
A: No. The server is called survival for a reason!

Q: Can I have ____________?
A: I know this one! No.

Q: How do I get my skin working?
A: Yes, here is a link to a tutorial I wrote.

Q: Where can I see stats for the blocks I place?
A: echo-gaming.net/stats

Q: What is the link for the dynamic map?
A: mc.echo-gaming.net:8123

Q: How can I get in the server when it is full?
A: Only premium [h1] users have that ability.

Q: Can I see a list of all the shop purchases and sells?
A: Sure, it's echo-gaming.net/transactions.txt.

Q: How do I send money?
A: /pay <user> <amount>

Q: How do I make a server?
A: We aren't going to tell you, why would we help you make a competing server? Just google it, if you can't figure it out you shouldn't run one. :)

Q: How do I set my home?
A: Right-click a bed. It doesn't have to be night, just right-click it.

Q: How do I get a plot?
A: Ask the respectable owners of the city. re: http://echo-gaming.net/index.php/topic,581.0.html

Q: Why do I see all this iron/diamond ore, and when I mine it I just get cobblestone?
A: This is the anti-X-ray mod in action obfuscating the real locations of all ores. There are two possibilities: 1) You have a high ping (latency) to the server or 2) you are (attempting) to use an x-ray hack.

It gets SUPER annoying answering a million questions, so I made videos for the most-asked questions!

Warps
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvQ9PknfBjM" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvQ9PknfBjM</a>

Right click the warp sign to get to the room, then right click where you want to go!

Chest, Door, Furnace and Dispenser Protection
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_K2hIRDh4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn_K2hIRDh4</a>

Really simple, just place a sign with the word [Private] on the first line of a sign, connected to what you want to protect, and it will do the rest for you.

Making Shops / The Economy (Money)
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALkpks-Ph0A" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALkpks-Ph0A</a>

A really good site for getting item IDs is here.

To get money when you start, do /worth and /sell. You can sell what you're holding in your hand, your inventory or a specific item to the server in exchange for money. You cannot buy from the server though, you must buy from player shops. This forces players to supply items for the economy.

You can also sell to player shops, for (usually) more money per item, so look around the mall for a shop to sell to before you just do it the easy way and /sell.

You don't have to rent a mall room in order to make a shop. It's just needed if you want to sell in the mall, otherwise you can make a shop anywhere you want.



More to come! If you have questions PM me.

No problem, and no, you can only sell to the system. This forces players to supply the items for the economy.

Tom, can you add that you must move AWAY from the spawn points/walls in the wilderness to start mining? this gets asked alot:

Q: Why don't I have permissions to mine in the wild??
A: Move further from the wall, warp points and the wall perimeter are protected.

Question, can you make a shop/store in/under your home?  Like, have a few chests there? 
Likely response: Why dont you just use a store in the mall? 
My answer: Well, I like my home better,.. its bigger... easier to control/manage.. and I can protect it easier.
Like reponse: But you're an admin, with op.  you cant have a store.
My answer: I'm a poor admin, with maybe $40,000.  I had $100,000, which I invested into the economy, buying items from stores.  I just want a store.. everything will be priced moderately.  (meaning, a lot cheaper than any store in the mall.)  I wont take all profits.. I plan on having 3 workers, and we all split the profits evenly. This way I have employees, the store can be managed easier, it helps the economy... and I dont take all profits, so its fair.


So, can I do it?  (i have everything ready, I just need a green light.  I do not spawn stuff, nor give things away for free. I make/find everything I use, and I share it with my workers. marcus/recon/dabcold)

Also, i'd like to open a bank.  Basically a huge safe room, filled with chests that people can use to store their most important belongings.  I will charge a one time fee of $100 to have a 1 big chest, and $50 per each additiontional chest per user.  The safe will be guarded by my works, and steel doors, and private locked chests for each user.  (chests to be created on a sell-by-sell basis.  (profits will be split evenly between workers)
can I do this as well?


Thanks
