Minetest Forums

@Napiophelios, if you're still around, do you think you could resolve a licensing issue? Your OP says GPLv3, however the linked Github repository says WTFPL. What led me to this forum page was that I had a specific question regarding this line in colums.lua : --base code is from default minetest sta...

Success! I was able to completely reset the nvidia GPU driver and all dependent processes without having to reboot the box. I've printed off the instructions and pinned them up. As a GPU crash/performance-downgrade seems to happen every so often, I'm sure this is a procedure I'll have to repeat in t...

Server is back!

Server is offline for maintenance and host migration.

Happy New Year! Sorry to be 21 days late; I would have been at the party but I didn't realize the server was online again until Master_CJ stopped by when I happened to be online. Lucky!

Glad to see you're back, sorcerykid! And you too, maikerumine!

I've added a new page to the server's website, displaying a zoom/pan map. Link! http://arklegacy.duckdns.org/roaming.html The (non-stock) mapper program comes from here: https://github.com/adrido/minetest-mapper-cpp The stock version can't handle huge (30+GB) postgres map databases as of this writing.

Weekly map generation is re-enabled, after a long period of non-functionality. I had to switch to another mapping program, the stock version was using an inefficient SQL statement that was causing it to run out of memory.

Server is back online! I'll be keeping the old database around as backup in case something turns out not to have gone right. Everything looks good though, so far.

Heh, I see I have to recompile Minetest, too. At least the database upgrade worked ... I think!

Busy upgrading server OS (finished), now upgrading map database from postgres 9.5 to 10 or whatever. This part looks like it's going to take awhile.

Not really, I just thought it would be good to keep the old one for history. But I've hidden it now.

I've added the map on the server's website. I hope the credits are satisfactory!

Well, if you don't recall gathering that stuff yourself, you should probably change your password.

Ok, it seems there was an issue in that my domain wasn't configured to use IPv6. I talked to the folks in IRC, and I've finally got it fixed.

The server is back in the master list. Enjoy!

I have also noticed that the server is not showing up in the master list. Not sure why, as nothing has changed on my end. Everything is running good. I will look into it eventually (I don't have much time to work on it now).

Hey! I didn't write that code.

You are looking for BlockMen & Amoeba.

If my understanding is correct, even with buggy LuaJIT mods can use up to 2 GB of memory. Which is quite a lot. It seems the best solution right now is to just write better code and clean up the clutter that so many modders seem to make. ;-) The cost of the loss of performance in removing LuaJIT is ...

Gracye, iisu: you need to chill, guys. This is not a dating server. Rules are to keep it private. Seriously, I don't want to be finding this kind of stuff in the public chatlog when I come home from work. If you can't figure out what I mean, then here's all the examples of public wrong-speak you nee...

Alright, I've fixed the crash issue that started 5 hours ago. I made a stupid coding mistake at 1 AM last night. Do'h!

So b1 was walking around with nothing in his pack. So how does he get so much stuff? Hmmm. What's in this chest, I wonder? Oh wow that's a lot of protectors. How many of them did he actually craft? https://s8.postimg.cc/ddazwpk9x/b1-hacking-proof.png Only 1 (ONE) protector? Lame! This guy is SO hack...

The bone-placement code has always been somewhat buggy. I've been trying some variations of the code recently.

. . . And I've just tested and discovered my latest iteration is STILL putting bones in really odd places! Back to the code I guess.

Don't worry about the admin TNT. I placed it myself ... b1 had a cheated build at that location but he took it down quick.

Wow sorcerykid! You have done a LOT of extremely useful work. Those GUIs are really good, too, how do you get them to go like that? I hate coding new formspecs, it seems I constantly toggle to the lua API.txt every other line of code I write . . .

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately I am/was not around to deal with the problem (b1 was hacking) but it has been noted. I will deal with it in due course.

Sorry late reply! Saw your post last month and then promptly forgot about it.

To answer the question, yes. Suggestions on balance are particularly welcome. Best place to send that stuff is to my in-game email box (thru PoC).
