Everyone will just log end of story no name no coords just saying !

@SharpSerac everyone who thinks this is difficult to do with command blocks is wrong, i could make something like this in just a few hours honestly, they just don't know how commands/command blocks work

Given that you don't actually know how the panel interfaces with the command blocks. (It's not just a command block room, there is far more to it than that)I doubt it.

However I'm sure it's possible to do on CM but I can't see any real reason to do such a thing, which I believe the majority of the playerbase would not enjoy or appreciate.

True, and even if this did happen and you knew where people were, they could just use invis potion and you wouldn't be able to find them.

Thank you I do enjoy commenting on the forums and I wish more on the server did so too.
It's not just "some script" the panel handles the majority of the server work and is core to its functionality, things like homes and everything is handled by it. It's a huge project frankly and I do know that you don't know about it since Crafty is the only one working on it. Sure the concept is simple but it's a massive project which you cannot understand without reading the code.

I'm not saying it would be hard to do either just that you can't as you claimed, was kind of hypocritical to claim people have lack of knowledge without acknowledging your own.

@SharpSerac i'm just calling it how it is, you reply to basically everything i say almost always trying to prove me wrong. also that's what the panel is, it's a script that interacts with a completely separate program independently and automates tasks that would otherwise be done by a human, don't know why you got upset at my usage of the word, bucko shmucko¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i don't know exactly what the code he is wrote but i could probably recreate the whole thing in not too long, i'm saying i would have the ability to implement something like this and you were claiming that i don't which is dumb xd

I reply to nearly all suggestion threads, multiple times too. So if you post in suggestion threads a lot you will get replied too a bit. I don't think I responded more than once or twice

A script is a piece of code that is executed by another program to achieve a result, the panel is a completely separate program which runs on its own making it a program. It's almost 60,000 lines long.

You can replicate 60,000 lines of code in not too long ?
Well you must be a very rich man then, I don't think it's dumb to doubt that however as I think it's pretty clear you don't have the knowledge of how the server operates or even how to create a basic panel.
It's not a script, it's a serious piece of work.

60.000 code lines?
That's massive dude!

Those lines gotta be pretty small

Instead of having a hunger games-esque area, could there be a few other themed pvp arenas be added? the platform above the main arena could have pressure plates that teleport players to alternate arenas for different battles, each one suited for different play styles

How did this get so big?

Here's my 2 cents:

Would this be possible?

Almost indefinitely yes.

Is this necessary?

No, not at all.

Would this drive players away and make the server stray miles away from regular vanilla gameplay?

Yep.

What if it was on another server?

Debatable, but will probably die when the glamour wears off.

What about on the regular server?

More lag, Drive players away, Becomes raiding/pvp server, No longer anything like Minecraft with no command blocks.

OK, but how about arenas?!

More lag, less mob spawns, economy takes another hit because of mobs.

Is this gonna happen?1!!!/?/1!?//1!?

Almost indefinitely no.

Why is this even debatable?

I have no clue.

cause everything is debatable :P

@SharpSerac you didn't address the fact that you're always trying to prove me wrong lmao

I'm sorry you think I'm trying to prove you wrong all the time but I'm not going to stop correcting incorrect things because you ask.

@SharpSerac i'd say that what the server does is classified as a script. 60,000 lines of code? seems a bit excessive for something that reads a console and responds. did crafty himself tell you or do you have something to back that up? (i'm going to assume the usual "i don't have to prove anything to you" or "we won't reveal private information about the server" response)

Well you'd be wrong for classifying it as a script, as I explained scripts run within a program not outside one like a program.
Nor is it a tiny thing as crafty said below its a huge project.
Classifying it as a script just shows a lack of understanding of what a script is, countering your claim of knowing.

@SharpSerac
"A scripting or script language is a programming language that supports scripts: programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator."

" rel="nofollow external">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language[/quote]

Yes that definition actually backs what I said, a special run time environment is referring to within a standalone program as opposed to the operating systems routine environment like a standalone program. It's quite a big distinction, scripts carry out routine tasks using the programs own features as opposed to their own.

If your coordinates are confiscated then there is no point in participating, people's locations are not listed during the movie purge for everyone to see.

Also if this is during a set time people would just leave except for new players/people who aren't informed.

If the CM panel doesn't run anything that it completely vital to the server being online, disable the panel for a few hours.
