Minetest Forums

Installed this on my creative server because I had to remove some stray locked chests, iron doors and unknown blocks, only to find that my users would run amuck with the stupid admin wand.
So much for "admin" tools if everyone gets to use them!

If only this mod would still work...

Suddenly, from one moment to another and without even updating MT (I compile it myself) whenever I try to pull up the inventory, the game segfaults. I ran it through GDB three times and these are the results: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0x7fffe62e1700 (L...

I made this some while ago: https://github.com/casimirkapazi/spawnarea But you always spawn somewhere else, which to me seems more interesting. Spawning at a random location on each login can be fun, but if you have built yourself a home and are working towards a certain set goal, like for example ...

One of the things that I dislike on servers is that people spawn in, then stay close to their original spawn point, never exploring the rest of the world. Because of this I have wished for the ability to have people spawn in at random locations on the already explored map OR within a predetermined a...

I wrote a script to build Minetest on Debian systems a long time ago. Over time I have tweaked it and added to it to a point that it's now capable of cloning the needed git repositories (a check is performed to see if it's needed and skipped if the local git repo has already been set up), build Mine...

For users, it provides a single, well established and author-endorsed place to look for often-used mod s. Although I love the idea of a mods repo/archive, although findability arguments is not a very valid one. Krock has made a search engine for mods ( http://krock-works.16mb.com/MTstuff/modSearch....

Some screenshots of one of the most gorgeous worlds that I have ever seen in MT.

I checked my build environment, and as it turned out, luajit was indeed not installed.
I don't know why, because I know that I installed it a long time ago. I have (re-)installed luajit-dev and and recompiled and now all appears to be honky-dory.

I keep running into this error whilst exploring my world: 2016-01-10 19:33:31: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: Lua: Runtime error from mod 'mobf_trader' in callback luaentity_Activate(): ...ages-for-minetest-modpack/mobf_trader/mob_basics.lua:508: bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty) 2016-01-10...

Suggestion 1: Add a calendar node to display the date. Pointing at the calendar could show the date, and/or punching the calendar could show a formspec showing the days of the month with the current day highlighted. Suggestion 2: Display the date on the HUD Just some ideas as I played with the mod :-)

ABJ, did you put the mod up on GitHub yet?

I did find, after all, one blemish. I had a look at the scripts and there is a typo in the "has_kockback" property. That obviously should have been "has_knockback".

If only it were easier to create mobs....

No complaints, no bug report, no requests. Just me wanting to say that this is the first mob mod that I have come across that adds mobs that actually look like they belong in the MT world. Another thing that I like about this one is that the mobs don't rubberband like the mobs from two other mods th...

Hey guys, the latest Git version of minetest checks for uninitialized globals and the mg mod has proven to have a lot of them. I have taken the liberty of fixing them on my system, see my fixes below. These fixes have stopped the warnings and all is honky dory now. In fact, it seems to have improved...

Ah, good to know. I keep learning daily! ;-)

Does the fact that you didn't correct my fixes mean that i did it right? I that's the case then wowsers! I'm sure you remember me telling you that i am a Lua noob, and "noob" is a mild description of it ;-)

VanessaE, the latest Git version of minetest checks for uninitialized globals. Plantlife has a few of these instances, the worst one being the one in plants_lib. see my fixes below. they stopped the warnings. I hope this helps. Message: " 03:32:58: WARNING: Undeclared global variable "spaw...

Markers appears to have crashed my server. This is not the first time, but it's the first time that i have remembered to copy the error so i can paste it here: 01:00:27: ACTION[ServerThread]: <USERNAME_WITHELD> places node markers:mark at (408,1,-254) 01:00:27: ACTION[ServerThread]: facedir: 3 01:00...

IMHO the spawning in the next village is a very good thing. That way, you know what this mapgen can do, and have a more intresting starting point than those random ones. There are two big issues with your statement ISSUE #1 Before you can spawn in a village, the following two conditions have to be ...

I forgot to add a request for //smooth <intensity> to the list. It would smoothen the contours of the selection. For instance, if you have a 100x100x100 cube selected, it would get rounded corners, depending on the chosen intensity. Inversely, //rough <intensity> would roughen the selection, making ...

Rochambeau, the official minetest repo has version 0.4.10 and 0.4.11 will be out soon (next month or so), you have 0.4.6. Time to update! Just like you said "the official minetest repo has version 0.4.10", i installed Minetest via that repo and have 0.4.10. (see my post again). Why do you...

Rochambeau, the official minetest repo has version 0.4.10 and 0.4.11 will be out soon (next month or so), you have 0.4.6. Time to update! Now, compiling from source would definitely help a lot, you can use the script that i wrote for that purpose from https://gist.github.com/Fritigern/4e21484ec27d64...

Feature requests: * //undo : Would do as advertised. I've definitely missed this one after several goof ups that affected large areas. And /rollback does not always work on WE operations. * //hbox , //hcube or //walls : Create a hollow cube the size of the selection, usable as a quick way to build ...
