(...) 10:53:16: ERROR[ServerThread]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: std::bad_alloc (...) This is not a bug in the simple mobs mod. It is a bug in the Minetest engine. IIRC, it is something with low RAM or something like this. I have had it with this game. Mods breaking the server and the s...

Adam, thank you very much for looking into this. ]: WARNING: active block modifiers took 226ms (longer than 200ms) 10:53:16: ERROR[ServerThread]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: std::bad_alloc In thread b67ffb70: /home/henry/system/games/minetest/src/server.cpp:152: virtual void* ServerThrea...

/clearobjects only gives me "Issued command: /clearobjects" and nothing else. All enemies and objects are still there and the map is still just a small patch of blocks that I stand on. Is there a way to reduce spawn rates, or clear up old mobs? The current spawning algorithm is realy crap....

No offense. But how can I unf### my server after installing this?
Can you add a way of removing it?

I like it very much. But I think it keeps track of objects that are out of sight of the player which my server hardware can not afford.

Mobs were taken out of c++ when the Lua modding API was added. They were replaced by hooks, so that Lua code could define the c++ objects. I assume that because of all that effort, the way forward is not to code directly in c++, but code "hooks" in the c++ and then call those hooks using ...

Interesting. Do you like to elaborate on why this is so?

Please do this in C++. Lua produces so much overhead and forces you to waste a lot of resources so that you run into a lot of resource and scalability issues.

Sorry I just posted this and then lost it and had to re-type.

It is a suggestion for collectibles (coins and books)

For people who want to develop this I offer a bug tracker, web space, version control (git) and my support.

Hello, due to a malloc my server keeps crashing. Whose fault is it? Mobs or mintests? 19:23:49: ERROR[ServerThread]: ERROR: An unhandled exception occurred: std::bad_alloc In thread b65ffb70: /home/henry/system/games/minetest/src/server.cpp:152: virtual void* ServerThread::Thread(): Assertion '0' fa...

Hello PilzAdam, nice changes upstream, I especially like that the sheeps are now drowning. What I think needs tuning is the sheep sound. It occurs quite too often. Also the enemies give me damage even when they are not touching me. Sort like a harming aura. I think it would be more reallistic for th...

Sheep need a way better texture.

Sheep need to drown inside water. My lakes are full of them.

Thank you. The only mobs that do suck a lot less. Your mods are the best.

any way we can get this to work with growing_trees mod? http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=978 I stitched something together, but it is really brute force. --> inefficient as hell, but seem to get this monsters down. complete content of init.lua: chlue your solution seems to leave the tip o...

Somebody did write code to make timber compatible with growing trees here http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1590&p=2

Timber mod will not work with growing trees. Since it will only remove "default:jungletree", "default:papyrus", "default:cactus", "default:tree" that are stacked. I am reporting this here because I think there should be a way to not have a world where A lot of...

The growing cactii look beautiful, even while in the process of growing. The growing trees not as much. For example, what I'm seeing is a trunk that grows to about 12 high with a really small clump of leaves at the top. So it looks like a cotton swab. Then after a while small nubs grow out. That mi...

The download-service you are using is making me throw up so I have mirrored the newest release.

Is any of this edible? I need something on my server for people to heal themselves.

This is a realy great mod. Thanks to all contributors.

After restart of the server the looping sound went away. I try to reproduce it again and will keep you posted.

0.4.2 rc1

Hello,

when the cart is not moving its sound is played in a loop.
Even If I move very far away from the rails.
I think this happened after logging out while a cart was moving.
Logging out and back in again does not change a thing.

This is not very hard to do. You just have to re-implement a client in the language of your choice. I am not sure if Minetests protocol is documented. But if it is not it you could get all the information you need from the source code and maybe a traffic analyzation tool like wireshark. As always. T...

Microbench ftw.

Irrlicht supports octrees so this is def. a posibillity.

Hello, I enjoy the game very much. But the one thing that lacks a proper implementation is mobs/monsters. Animals mod is the best there is so far. But the only animal that really works and is out of wip in my opinion is the chicken. In my opinion two options: a) Create good textures for Animals mod ...
