But will help to fix stalls.... I believe you can compile a version with debug symbols for stack trace, but with optimizations enabled to avoid too much lag. Also, you can launch the server without gdb, and attach it when stall happens. For a short term fix, might be worthwhile to consider a watchd...

Your base - does it contain bob8881's tower by chance? If so, I believe I managed to stumble upon it. I have found it amazing! Brought back amazing memories from my actual travel to Japan :). You wouldn't happen to be a youtuber, would you? Never attempted to capture videos of my journey through ho...

I just visited the server and it's in surprising good shape. My base was there, maybe a few weeks work was lost. Many thanks to Bob8881 for providing the mapsave that included that place. Some glitches here and there but we'll get over it. Thank you EDad for bringing it back online! Your base - doe...

Ironically... that's exactly what I'm intending to do. I whipped up a additional script that will read all positions of whatever is down below. Then it will pad every one with 3 mapblocks (48 nodes). Are we sure this is enough protection from *gens? Can we do a quick test work a sample cave build? ...

But keep in mind. Those underground builds could be wiped out in the same way of a cave generator comes ripping through. But we can't possibly generate the entire underground to prevent this. Can we figure out the underground parts from the collection of sqlite files you have, and generate an "...

<-- snip --> Michael - how are you hashing? If you hash a block, how do you find it based on partial information? Care to post the code somewhere to chat about code? Also, it seems you assume you can keep all blocks + indices in memory. You will need a server with ~128GB of RAM to do this (or a bun...

Hi,

I recently created an account, and it seems I can't send private messages. Any way to resolve that? What is needed to get permission for private messages?

Thanks,

Also... I'm not going to engage any more about this map recovery tool development. I've already made my case and expressed that I do not want to proceed with it. And for what it's worth. I would never release the logs to the public. There's conversations and dark secret's that players/admin's/staff...

<-- Snip --> Michael, the big question here is how does your algorithm scale. Specifically, if your algorithm involves "scan all possible blocks for every partial block defined", it will never finish (or at least it will take few years to recover). Here is a quick back-of-the-envelope cal...

The restoration process will generate a new map file. There is no requirement to use this file in its entirety. The only limitation is the size of the file which will make it difficult to work with. However, since the restored file will not be perfect, I imagine it would be most useful to use it as...

My block cache from wandering around is available at https://nofile.io/f/zNF9pCOPgHS/map.sqlite .Hopefully this helps.
