Minetest Forums

Thanks 32bitguy, I compiled ECT and gave it a try, I'm going to use it for optimizing my server's media.

This is really interesting because it is about taking the minetest engine to the limit, I think minecraft servers running on modern hardware (i9 10th gen) can handle around 200 players. Since minetest is more efficient, it could possibly take more players than that using the same hardware, it would ...

If it works inside a LAN then your server is ok. Now if you want it to work over the internet you have to forward the port that your minetest server listens to (by default is 30000), to your server (your computer). Look up the name of your router + port forwarding on the internet. Then you have to g...

Sorry I posted twice. Let's see what comes up this week.

Hmmm I don't know how successful were the other server hangouts, but it could be a good idea to include a short review of the selected server of the week when voting is finished, this way people reading this post get an idea of what to expect from the servers featured. My vote this week goes to Deut...

Are your friends trying to connect from the internet ? or from a local network ? Also, what IP address are they using to connect ? A good way to start troubleshooting is to try to connect to your server from another computer/cellphone that is in the same network as the server. If this works then you...

If you are worried of your clients not downloading the new mod, then you shouldn't, because every time a client joins a server it receives a list of the files it has to download, so if you added a new mod when old players join they will download the new mod automatically.

Yep, that is a bug that has persisted for a long time in Minetest, I guess we will have to wait for 5.4.0. And the other issues you talk about are likely just because your clients have a slow connection to the server, are you running it on a local network or over the internet ?

Hey guys Merry Christmas ! I have a gift for you, and it is a special event, a treasure hunt ! I placed a chest somewhere in the world, so you have to go get it, every two days from the 15th to the 24th of december I will publish in the server a range of coordinates where the chest could be, the ran...

You are right, you can try on your local server to disable the port forwarding on your router and the server won't appear in the public list. I guess you would have to talk with your VPS provider.

Is this kind of abandoned or will other servers be featured ?

Looks really nice, subscribed.

New update, I added ~1466 skins for use with the wardrobe mod to change skins, I'm still polishing it, but most of the skins work and you have plenty to choose. For this task I made a bash script which I will share in the wardrobe mod's post when it's completely finished. On other news, spawn got a ...

If you are running it on your own computer you have to enter your computer's IP address on the address field and on port leave it on 30000 if you didn't change it.

install the minetest-server package and you will have a server running in your computer on UDP port 30000

I couldn't get minetest-server to install with any of the similar packages in the Ubuntu repositories, so I just added the normal buster repository to install the Debian version. I have the server up and running now, and I tweaked a few of the settings in the minetest.conf file. In minetest.conf, I...

The server is now back, with 2x upload speed !
I'm actually kinda disappointed, I thought it would be more, but hey it runs better now, and latency decreased a lot, so, have fun !

I can assure you that libspatialindex5 is on the debian buster repositories (I run my server in debian buster). Well, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has its own backports so you shouldn't have to use debian's instead, if you want to run ubuntu use ubuntu's backports repositories, probably that package has a...

I suggest you to read the wiki https://wiki.minetest.net/Setting_up_a_server to set the server_announce setting you have to open your server's configuration file, since you are on windows I think it would be minetest.conf, located in the folder where you extracted the game. So open that file and wri...

Well, if you are setting up a minetest server you shouldn't look info about a minecraft server lol, read in the minetest wiki https://wiki.minetest.net/Server and the pages at the top of this forum. I run a server with an old crappy Pentium 4 so whatever a VPS provides should be enough for at least ...

For your server to show in the public list you have to set server_announce = true in your server's configuration file, also if you want people from the internet (your friends) to join your server you have to forward the port 30000 in your router to your computer, you will have to set a static IP for...

UPDATE: I will be upgrading the ISP to a better one, so the server will be down from november 27 22:00 UTC for ~24 hours. After that new players will be able to join faster and you will have a little bit less lag.

You are probably right, similar incidents I've witnessed a few times while using default boat - it casts off player's character so to speak leaving him in the water and blatantly sailing away. And as I noticed it happens only when the GPU is busy processing huge landscapes with a wide range of view...

A colleague launched a unittest this morning. We had these issues : [FAIL] testCreation - 0ms [FAIL] testGetMods - 0ms [FAIL] testGetModspec - 1ms [FAIL] testGetModNames - 0ms [FAIL] testGetModMediaPaths - 0ms Unit Test Results: FAILED Looks like you have permission issues or something related, are...

Hi, I like this mod a lot for transportation haha. I'm having a problem where the balloon randomly disappears mid-air making you fall and die. I'm running minetest 5.3.0 stable with some other mods, the only log was: 2020-11-25 01:47:57: ACTION[Server]: Server: Player moved too fast: V=-9.05011, H=1...
