I will be releasing the current version of AdventureTech to the public before 1/1/2013 so that people can host their own servers and keep their own maps going long-term on this current platform.

Mods included are: Forgotten Nature, Legendary Beasts, Familiars, Steve’s Carts, Coral mod, Too Many Plants, NEI + addons, wireless redstone chicken bones edition, campfire mod, secret rooms mod, damage indicators, armor/status indicators, factorycraft, factorization, animal packers, optifine, invtweaks, Rei’s minimap, twilight forest, ComputerCraft, Thaumcraft 3, Metallurgy 2, Sword Pedastal, Lockit, Teleport stones, parachute mod, Torojima’s Chococraft, Jammy’s Furniture mod, dungeon pack, Iron Chests, Balkon’s weapon mod with metallurgy 2 support, multi-crafting table, ultra version with shaders and two HD texture packs with different effects.
New AegisLauncher: Hack/Mine, AdventureTech, Anarchy, Mo’SMP
We at AegisGaming have released our new launcher. This launcher contains Hack/Mine, AdventureTech, Anarchy (alpha), Mo’SMP and Vanilla. Take a look at how all aspects of the launcher interface cycle as you move through the mod packs.
To download and install the launcher, which will update Minecraft in a separate folder and allow you to play all these mod packs visit > http://launcher.aegisgaming.org/
I have been updating AdventureTech like mad with new mods and features during our Open Beta.
Frizzil, the author of the popular Hack/Mine is now part of the Aegis staff and has been making updates to his product that are very cool.
FFL 2012 – Glixyl’s Mechanism for the win!
UPDATE 12/23/2012: I finished first in the regular season, taking the transactions fees for all adds/drops/trades. Also I came in second for the championship, giving me the second place prize winnings. So close to winning (4 points), but in the end I had a RB1 early-game injury and the humiliation of my San Francisco 49ers defense stop me from clinching the cup.. I still won more cash winnings than anyone in the league so I will take that.
I don’t watch much sports and/or keep up on players, so I was reluctant to join my neighborhood league for American Fantasy Football when I was invited by family friends.
As this was my first year playing fantasy football, I allowed the computer to do some picking while I quickly verified my players on Google. For the name of my team, I picked ‘Glixyl’s Mechanism’ of course.
The beginning of the season was bumpy, but after a few weeks I started to pull ahead in score. We are now in week 14, the final week of the regular season and I am in a good spot headed into the playoffs. These guys are seasoned players and football junkies, so I think this might have more to do with beginner’s luck than skill; but hey I will take the win and the money if I can 🙂
Aegis AdventureTech “Prepare for Doomsday” PVP Tourney – 11/29 – 12/21
We are running a PVP tournament at Aegis where griefing of structures and players is allowed. I want to test the new mods, user craft-able locks and region protects by having a building/gathering contest under pressure.
Some things that make this PVP tournament more fun than others IMO:
1. The goal is to build things and gather, but under pressure with griefing/raiding outside the spawn zone allowed.
2. You cannot lose gear on your person such as armor, weapons and your locks/keys/teleport stones.
3. The judges will vote (starting 12/16 and ending 12/21) and the players will receive items/prestige when the PVE environment map reverts to current PVE.
4. You can focus on strictly winning, or messing up someone else’s day. The goal is to test this mod pack and make it better; for which you will rewarded if you win.
5. If it gets too out of control and/or the server can’t handle things, I will go to the PVE map and back to the drawing board.
AdventureTech v0.6 Preview and v0.5 Public Release
I plan to release the AdventureTech server and client auto-installer on the Minecraft 1.4.2 platform (v0.5.4) after I roll out v0.6 to the Aegis production server.
Aegis AdventureTech v0.6 is in testing on the Minecraft 1.4.5 platform and now has 48 mods (almost twice as many as in v0.5 or Feed-the-Beast), for an experience quite a bit different than anything you have played.
Check out the video of this testing and check back here for the public server release on the current production platform.
In general, I plan to release public versions of AdventureTech a major revision behind the Aegis version; rewarding players that are willing to help me test.
Glixyl’s Crate – Public Servers in a Post-ForgeBukkit World
Lots of people have told me that I couldn’t host a public server without using Bukkit. For those who aren’t aware, Bukkit is at the heart of almost every Minecraft public server you have played on. It is a workhorse and has an amazing plugin library developed and extended over years. The problem is that if you want to use Bukkit with Forge mods nowadays (such as Mo’ Creatures and IC2), you are pretty much stuck on Minecraft 1.2.5. People like md5 are trying to keep the flame alive for ForgeBukkit, but that project is way behind schedule and mostly abandoned.
When I joined AegisGaming.org, it was assumed that I would have to wait until a new Bukkit was released or host my Revenge server with just basic spawn protection. I thought.. To hell with that, and got to work reading, talking and collaborating with others to allow my mod packs to be hosted on larger servers.
Glixyl’s Crate – Bukkit-like Technology
Glixyl’s Crate is the result and I have integrated this suite of mods into the AdventureTech server to provide many of the features of Bukkit; while being able to stay on the latest version of Minecraft and have access to all the coolest and cutting edge mods.
FEATURES:
-Locks and Sharing of blocks and regions
-Block protection
-Warp, Summon, Multiple Homes, Spawn
-Server Lag Detection (per world) and for each player
-Recipe Blocking, Encrypted passwords and IP checking for account security
-Command Block integration for fire control, mob de-griefing/etc.
-Better multi-threading for server and per world tick per second.
-User crafted keys, locks, regions (coming soon)
Come check out AdventureTech by using the AegisLauncher and connecting to our server. Glixyl’s Crate will be at the heart of my newest version of Revenge as well of course.. which I plan to begin work on soon.
AdventureTech updated to Minecraft 1.4.2 platform
UPDATE 11/24: There is now a dedicated AdventureTech page. Familiars mod and Jammy Furniture mod added to 1.4.2 version.
I have revved AdventureTech to Minecraft 1.4.2 in testing. I am loving the results and may actually push the new version out sometime today for testing, based on user feedback.
Check out the video for the new features and how I am extending the ‘Tech’ part of AdventureTech to appease users, but not kill the server with pipes, quarries and all kinds of contraptions.
Although some technology was added to AdventureTech, the focus remains firmly on exploration, mining, nature and beauty. You need to venture out across the dimensions to acquire materials and defeat boss monsters. Beware of the werewolves, witches, large cats, poisonous snakes and other creatures. Wonder at the diversity of both plants and animals.
