Now this would be cool. Imagine how many players MT might get if players did not have try to go through the hassle of trying to install software on daddy's work computer. Bored kids in an office can make employees mad at the boss. The brats would have something to do other than stand around and reac...

Yes. Doing database backups with the MT server shut down is best. Pretty fast if you use solid state drives also. Editing the database while it's live is not recommended either. SK - From what I've read about Leveldb, I don't see why backups and editing shouldn't work. But better safe than sorry. Th...

Stone swords should shatter into rubble the first time they hit anything. Diamond swords should be removed from the game.

Just my 2 cents

Exotic Building A few weeks ago I began working on building a mansion in the server, inspired by a few great houses, specifically one built by iisu. So I went off and made my own version. And thankfully I had the idea of taking a screenshot on each step I took so you can follow along with me! (P.S:...

You crashed it also? Double trouble today. I'm reading an Ebook while trying to stay awake a few more hours. I've recently found a website where I downloaded about 40 Ebooks to expand on series that I hadn't bought all of the real books before publishers quit making real books. I hate Ebooks but bet...

843_jdc is my evil twin hehe >:)

I think I crashed the server. It crashed immediately after I did something. I won't say what.
Sorry folks.

Easy? Yes it is easy. Easy to get disconnected from the server due to bad connection, log back in and discover you died and EASILY lost EVERYTHING BEING CARRIED because there are NO BONES !!! Died on ladder or something. IDK but I gave up on MT. Sick of that crap. I die in World of Warcraft more oft...

That's a big file.

Welcome back.

That's the same problem I have. It does not seem to matter if there are 30 or 2 players. It still happens. If 100% on the CPU, maybe too many mobs? Though I well remember long ago the large hordes of mobs out in the wilds and the server was fine. These giant stone mobs you got are a nuisance as I'm ...

The server is unresponsive to /status command. Map isn't Fully loading either. While climbing, I'm banging my head into nothing but air. Time for a couple of aspirin :) And: At around 10:20PM EST, soon after talamh logged out, the server claimed I was moving too fast while walking on nearly flat sur...

And they are not in the crafting guide.

Why are items in the crafting guide that we can't craft? Like desert stone and a lot of other items.

talamh - Nice map. Thanks for posting it.

Lag - The server is unplayable tonight. Extreme lag 10 seconds or more and frequent disconnects.

Portals don't seem to work consistently. Old ones (from before the server shut down for a long time) and new ones recently built. I can stand near them for a long time, hit them, jump up and down, etc, and nothing happens. Later I can stand still for a few seconds opening a chest and suddenly be 'po...

I had a good laugh today playing Minetest. Someone logged into the JustTest server and announced that he/she was using a commercial hacker client. (I will not mention the name of that client.) I assume it was the creator of the client trying to drum up sales. Very quickly, I saw that the player got ...

A server with few players and running few mods that don't do much as fast. The game engine starts lugging when you pile on lots of players, CPU-intensive mods, and a clogged network pipeline. After 2? years I forget most of the details. I remember (maybe) that areas of the map would operate slowly i...

And the rebuttals proving me as talking trash begins haha :) I almost deleted my post before sending it. I decided to wait and see what it invoked. I got a reply half typed out. I'm stuck on deciding something and am thinking in circles. Not good. GIST: What one player does should not affect others ...

Minetest is slow. Anyone that says otherwise is talking trash. I'm reading a lot of forum messages discussing how things CAN"T be done, but relatively few on possible ways in which things CAN be done I have a Intel i7-3820 cpu, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX560 (now a GTX 660), HDD & a SSD. A now dated syste...

It's worse when it happens with the server and client on the same machine! That was using the loopback IP address also. Definitely a WTH moment :/ My guess is that the server is very busy 'doing something'. Maybe you have more network traffic than your network connection can handle? Run a monitor to...

And the sun sets on Cash's World for the final time.

Thanks for playing and allowing me to host your playtime. It's been a blast :)

Hi beerholder. Good to see you. I'm uploading server files to github now. Slow because I'm using the web interface and not the git client. IDK how to upload files using the client and I'm not taking time to learn. So slow and sure. Maybe. Server files to github, server map to Dropbox. I'll update th...

Will do. It's up now.

Problem solved. It took a bit of time for me to figure out what was needed to get CW back up and running. Forgetting the password to the admin account didn't help. The server is ready to come up whenever someone wants it up and we can coordinate a time to do so. Everything is like it was when it was...

If you can log in and while in game, type /admin
Complain to that person.
If the response you get is not to your liking, maybe find and play on another server.
Admins can sometimes get bad helpers. Or helpers that can make bad decisions.
Admins can be bad or make mistakes also. Sucks but that's life.
