(https://i.postimg.cc/WpwZNk95/2021-06-30-19-46-22.png)
We believe we are ready to announce a transfer day to move from our current setup to that of a Minecraft network! We have put a lot of effort behind the scenes over the last few months to get to where we are.
We have decided that the 26th of July will be the day we do the transfer!
So everyone has up to the 25th of July to complete the listing of their homes, it has been detailed in this post here (http://sentinelcraft.net/forum/index.php?topic=10387.0 (http://sentinelcraft.net/forum/index.php?topic=10387.0)). If you do not complete it before then, unfortunatly we will not be able to help you getting back to your home locations on bungee, we have a lot of post-launch stuff we need to still figure out and fix.
As for the transfer, it will take considerable time to be able to transfer so many different things and make final touches such as ensuring the majority of warps are in place for everyone, making sure custom commands are working as intended and most importantly all the worlds are transferred correctly. You need to be patient with us. We hope to limit downtime to only a day, but it could run over to a second one if we run into issues. If this may be the case we will communicate this with you. Once we have finished our transfer we will announce a time which the server will be open to the public and you can enjoy the launch of the Sentinel Network!
Leading up to the transfer
In the weeks we will be releasing guides we have put together on bungee for many of the different things that have changed, we hope this will help ease everyone transitions onto bungee. We shall try and squeeze in a development diary or two to update you on aspects of the project we have been working on.
As for just before the transfer, we will need everyone to do the following as a precaution, this is because we want to ensure all your items are safe, and that your transfer is smooth.
- Place all items in chests and place them in the world
- Remove any listing you may have in the auction house
- Remove anything you may have from your enderchest
- (Donators) Remove anything you have in /chest and place it in a chest in the world
If you have not done this, you run the risk of losing your items held in these places, this is down to the nature of transferring 200,000 player data files which are in so many different states, it could potentially go wrong or not work.
Things that will change after transfer
There is a multitude of things to get used to after the transfer. We do hope these are not big issues for us, and we will grow to live with the quirks like we currently do on Sentinel. If you believe there is an issue you think is a bug we definitely would like you to report to us under the following post board and detailing the problem as much as possible so we can investigate it promptly.
Some of the things that are going to change for the better or for worse (totally up to you to decide):
- /back will not work as you would want and we have detailed this in a previous Development Diary. We will be giving each player an extra home to help combat this.
- Towny chat and its features will be gone, you will have to use /clan. This means on transfer you will not be able to chat with your townies until you make a /clan chat for them.
- Maps are likely to be broken for the coming weeks while we work through the massive backlog of maps, please give us time when sorting maps, we want to be able to do it right. More information to come soon.
- Parkour is going to be reset of everyone, this is due to a permission issue with changing permission flags, it's not possible to fix at this time.
- General bugs that will need to be reported.
We hope you are as excited as we are about this! We are working very hard to make sure it goes ahead for us all with as few problems as possible and looking forward to playing on bungee!
