Minetest Forums

This looks really useful. Why not override minetest.log() w/ a hook that also prints to your mod's console? It seems troublesome to force everyone to make use of your printf when another logging standard already exists. Though I suppose that's trivial to add ad-hoc for any server owner who knows the...

Oh, this sounds really interesting. I was wishing for something like the "smooth" wand just a few days ago. Looking forward to a public git release.

1) If you mean creation of a image of the map of the server, then yes, I currently don't have the right permissions to be able to do that. It would require either moving the server's map to postgres, or keeping the server down long enough to run the mapping software on the sqlite map file. 2) As far...

This mod seems fatally flawed right now. I shot a gun at an unknown node, and it crashed the server. Now the server crashes immediately if that area is loaded. Some errors: 2020-04-26 02:41:43: ERROR[Main]: ServerError: AsyncErr: ServerThread::run Lua: Runtime error from mod 'rangedweapons' in callb...

@saavedra29: Like most big minetest servers, ours is quite idiosyncratic. There are often other players who will help you out in game chat, though, and there's a "Newb School" at spawn that explains some particular mechanics and mods (though not this tool repair one). Asking in game chat w...

@saavedra29 That is intentional. The anvil only repairs basic metal tools, you need to use an Equipment Reformer from the terumet mod to repair more advanced items.

@saavedra29: you need a steel pickaxe or better to pick it up.

Scratch that, I was half asleep. Those were PRs, not issues.

Hey jomunoz,

Could you post those issues here: https://github.com/BlockySurvival/issue-tracker/issues?

I should really disable the issue tracker on the bls_mods repo.

The mods were coded against the behaviour of a poorly documented, sometimes inconsistent API. One undocumented behaviour has been replaced with another. Assuming things will stay consistent is not a lazy programming practice, the general quality of the mods notwithstanding.

I wish I could help out more, but due to poor health, I really can't. I feel like I'm just treading water keeping Blocky running stably (for some definition of "stable"). That's not your fault. But I feel like a bunch of servers are going to get bit by this issue when 5.2 is released.

@sfan5 I'm honestly kind of annoyed that you guys think that changing the mod API with little warning in a way that breaks existing mods is the fault of the mod creators, but I'm not going to argue about this. We'll deal with auditing and patching the mods ourselves.

@jomunoz/George2020A: that bug looks like a know issue, that the devs will not resolve:

https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9428

Do you know which mods were having problems? It seems like we should fix them before we update the minetest engine again.

Hello MisterE, I'll take a look at your mod and possibly add it. It sounds like a good idea

Hi, I'm new to Minetest and the Blocky Survival server. My name in the server is George2020A. ... Hey jomunoz/George2020A. My best guess is that you're loading in certain mods from modpacks that we use, and the result is a dependency loop. I'm adding a copy of our world.mt file to this post, which ...

@Hulkhogan25: * builders get the following privileges: fast, fly, noclip, creative, teleport, areas * they are not allowed to give anything to, or build for, survival players. * they are under a much closer eye from other server staff than most players. It's allowed to have both a builder account an...

Hulkhogan25: Demonstrate that you can build things like aleksbuilder can. Keep in mind being a builder is as much a job as an honour.

@Hulkhogan25 I don't think aleksbuilder follows this thread (so far as I know), you'll have better luck trying to get ahold of them in-game on on IRC (on freenode.net)

@Hulkhogan25 it looks like you've started building in an area that aleksbuilder plans to develop. There's no reason you have to move, but you may have a lot of neat buildings around you eventually :)

Sorry, I'm not sure why you would have to move just because there is a giant wall.

Hello BillyS, I would like your team and you to add a "shop" to be able to sell and buy items without having a store. The items would have prices defined according to demand and the sale rate. This "shop" would be accessible with the command : /shop I'm more fond of having physi...

--> use https://github.com/minetest-mods/skinsdb and post your skins here: http://minetest.fensta.bplaced.net/

i can't deny that the abyssal buck designs was the motivation for me asking for something similar for Blocky Survival :)

This is only tangentially related, but the 64ki limit is built in to Lua itself, not minetest.serialize itself. Lua can only process scripts w/ a maximum of 64ki constants in them, and minetest.serialize (like most Lua serializers) encodes its data as a Lua script. The comment about a table w/ more ...

After talking to the player on our server, my understanding of the issue is this: They download some mods from the content tab in 5.0, create a world, and enable the mods in that world. Everything works at that point. However, after some time, they launch that world again, but for some reason the mo...
