It's an HTML bug, I hope they fix it tho. look in your temp.xml at the line that it says.
Crashes Server, all players get kicked and server needs a minute to come back... I see no logs of the reloading plugins in the log though...

Yep, Well What I did was went in the .XML file and went where the error was located, then change the "&" to an "and" because it messed up the HTML code. But after a certain ammount of time it resets and come backs to default and the error pops back up. So my fix would be to disable it.
@lolo2438
Not sure I quite get what you mean. This file is generated from the server VoxelUpdate requests its update from. It seems to request the check for the update after a fixed time period. Hence, my server seems to go down every set amount of time. Could be something to do with VoxelSniper however, it came to my attention that I hadn't had this issue until we started actually making use of VoxelSniper.
@x0rnam I changed the & to "and" and it seems to work
Seem to have a problem with the latest VoxelUpdate (1.1.4) . I'm using Bukkit 2327 (latest Dev Build as of 08/11/2012) and Java 7 64bit.
After VoxelUpdate checks for updates, it crashes my server. The log is as follows;
Line 78 seems to reference;
Here is a link to the pastebucket of the file you need it.
Can't wait for the CraftBukkit 1.3.1 version ;) Still some awesome work keep going guys :)
Please, make fetching update info xml as async task, not sync. (VoxelUpdate plugin)
It freezes my server sometimes
@Lear85
Do you have the auto-update feature turned on? At first glance, that seems to be an error trying to disable the running plugin.
When I attempt to type the "voxelinstallr" command, for VoxelUpdate, the console returns an error message, yet the plugin is downloaded as if nothing bad happened, and loaded when the server restarts. As the log shows, I had no trouble installing VoxelMore, and later attempts gave me the same results for both Sniper and Mimic. The plugins install properly, and once configured work perfectly in-game, but what confuses me is why the console always returns this error message upon installing a voxel plugin via VoxelUpdate. Link to pastebin of log: http://pastebin.com/KSypLNKK I'm running Windows 32-bit and Java 7 Update 5.
An update for Voxelport fixing the height issue would be cool
@Zawmbee
Curse's Terms of Service regarding uploads is considered unfavorable by several of our plugin devs. VoxelUpdate is a compromise. If you want to DL the plugins directly, you can do so via our wiki.
@Mr_H4mm3r
Use your console (CMD) for downloading it, worked for me.
This is a HUGE headache... The commands in game to download the individual plugins don't work (NOT my fault, I made the admns.txt, tried admins.txt, restarted, reloaded, the commands just don't work. I had to manually copy in the link for your ridiculous online .XML file to finally, FINALLY, find the link for VoxelSniper.jar
Christ, is it that hard to add individual downloads?
@MeMylo
This isn't the thread for VoxelGuest

They might be working on a new version, but as far as I know it's not functional with the latest Bukkit build, hence not in VU.
@xe
Now available, Tactical Bacon v 1.501
@giltwist
Huh? Not supported? It was updated a few days ago and it clearly explains to use VoxelUpdate to get it... Could you at least provide a link for that version?
EDIT: Here is the thread http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/voxelvoyage/
Okay. Bytheway TacticalBacon is a very fun plugins, So please make the stable version for TacticalBacon. I don't want to loss the fun of TacticalBacon :D
OK. For some reason, setProperty didn't like the colon in the URL, I've switched the property writing back to fw.write in 1.1.3
In the mean time, just delete the unneeded \ in the URL.
As far as TacticalBacon, I did a quick fix over to the new Event System. The launching and such seems to work, but the explosions seem to be nerfed at the moment. So, it's on VoxelUpdate for the moment for people who already have it on their server, but it'll be a little bit before we reinstate the official Dev Bukkit page
Anyone who has issues with running the /voxelplugins command should make sure their username is in admns.txt
