      Negative Review: Mikelands AUS Server - My Experience

      Thanks for your advice. I disagree that my policy conveys an attitude of not caring about players. If I didn't care, the players who contributed to this negative review would never have been banned. Some players have an attitude that they are entitled to play on my server, and when rules are...

      By all means, link to my forums - maybe people will see the truth.

      Positive Review: Mikeland AUS Server

      I tried to state my version of events on the negative review, and those posts were deleted, so I made this positive review thread. If I'm not able to defend myself in a thread, I figured making a new thread with positive perspectives is all I could do. If anyone wants the full story, it's all...

      Positive Review: Mikeland AUS Server

      For Australians this is a great server - low pings as it actually is in Australia (others may advertise being in Australia when they are not), and runs on great hardware. The staff are on top of exploiters and other players who seek to undermine the spirit of the game, and as such it is a great...

      Dedicated server hardware requirements?

      I know RabidBat you probably hate me right now, but I'll impart my knowledge on the topic anyway as I've been running a server for a while now and have some experience on the matter. In terms of RAM, I see normally between 2 and 3GB of RAM usage for StarMade - this does vary a bit but not much...

      Serverlog.txt.* and log.txt.* retention

      Hi, Can anyone tell me how long these log files are kept and what happens to them when an update is done? I seem to be losing older logs, so I'm thinking the retention is limited. Ideally I'd like to control the retention period - I can collate good stats over time if they are retained longer...

      Is This A Doom Cube?

      ^^This. We have no reason to ban people other than to protect the server and keep it enjoyable for other people. We're not idiots and don't ban people for a power trip or spite. We're mature adults and have a fair bit of StarMade server experience. Qweesdy has embarked on a campaign of...

      MikeLand Aussie StarMade Server

      That sounds a little like an accusation of sorts. Our ranking is legit. We were the 17th server to make a listing on starmade-servers.com and all those listed before us are now defunct. We are the longest serving server, and have a high rank due to this and other factors (starmade-servers.com...

      New (Windows) Launcher Fails to Launch

      Uninstall and Reinstall of Java fixed this for me on Windows 7 x64 and Vista x64 - Windows 8 x64 did not present the issue.

      Credits for votes

      Hi lordWolfe, I've been a long time opponent of votes contributing to rankings for listing sites, but that philosophy seems to be here to stay. The motive for me writing the code and sharing it was to level the playing field for as many servers as possible. Maybe this will make it easier to...

      Credits for votes

      Hi, I've made a simple php script I run once every 5 mins to reward players for voting on starmade-servers.com - I thought I'd share it with the community for those people also running servers wanting the same or similar functionality. Link is here, feel free to use this for your own servers...

      java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./settings.cfg (No such file or directory)

      Hi, I'm seeing this in my log from time to time (but not always) java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./settings.cfg (No such file or directory) Obviously, I have checked if the file exists (it does) and the appropriate permissions (it's rw for the owner, which is the user running the process). I...

      Bug with StarNet.jar and spaces in arguments

      Hi, I'd like to report an issue I've found with the StarNet.jar utility. It seems the command line arguments passed to this don't handle spaces in the arguments. I use StarNet.jar to automatically whitelist users and when they have spaces in the user name StarNet.jar always reports "RETURN...
