Remove old luaentries?

This has been bugging me for a while - when mods that add terrain types or other lua entities are then removed the server starts displaying error messages in the log about the luaentry not being defined. Is there a way to remove these ghost entities?

Re: Help: Setting up, running, and maintaining a server

If I was to find another mod I liked (say, one that included a bunch of new building block nodes), would I need to create a new world on the server for that? Or could I just install the mod, and the server will automatically push it out to the clients on their next login? It depends on the mod. One...

You can set whatever port you like. Its in the minetest.conf file Yes your server will show up in the server browser if you publish it, also in the minetest.conf file. If you want to allow only certain people to join it you can set a password they need to know. All the mods are done server-side, th...

Re: [Modpack] Villages modpack (contains mg_villages)

I'm aware of the problems with the diffrent village_*-mods. I'm currently working on the replacement mechanism and doing some code cleanup behind the scenes. Once that's done, the diffrent village_*-mods will work again. They will be added to the contentdb the same way as mg_villages, handle_schema...

Re: How to do a proper backup of live server on linux?

"due to the files (usually the world map) changing while being backed up" Just a guess, longer delay would prevent the map changing? Perhaps there's a way to stall the entire conf during a backup? server_map_save_interval = 5.3 What would I change it to only save the map to once per minute?

How to do a proper backup of live server on linux?

I think I have seen this a couple times where a supposedly successful backup can not be restored from due to the files (usually the world map) changing while being backed up. When starting minetestserver I get this: Screenshot from 2020-08-15 11-07-26.png Is there a way to force it to rebuild that d...
