I'm very sorry to say that our Forge switch-over has been placed on hold, due to an issue both related to our current inability to run JVM arguments from our host's server. The instructions from the Gulliver thread work, but only for private-run servers from people's machines -- since we run Big Sister from a paid service provider, things are sadly a little different.
I have tried contacting our server host's tech support regarding our issue and the possibility to append the necessary -DFML call that allows Gulliver to work. Unfortunately, the java executable is shared across various other minecraft servers they service, so it's not possible to append additional JVM arguments without inconveniencing them. In short... something as minor as this has stopped us in our tracks. :(
Thankfully, Mion herself has offered to help modify the mod to integrate better with Forge, thus eliminating the need for the additional JVM arguments. she may be able to do so some time this weekend and I will do everything in my power to help her, but the fact of the matter is that our switch-over is now on hold, and I truly apologize for this. :(
I have however deployed some of the other updates to Big Sister, and I will list them below...
- The IP Address has now officially changed to bigsister.mcserver.ws
- The new Whitelist Application has been activated, although the MC Forum has not been created yet pending what will happen with Forge.
- All inactive moderators and legacy ops have been purged from the list, leaving Burger, Drake, Ajj, Kee and King as our remaining legacy staff (plus Cayfie, who is our co-owner). Please thank them for their incredible devotion and hard work!
- Also, please welcome ShadowScale as our newest moderator to Big Sister!
I will keep you posted with any other updates as they arise. Thank you!
