Re: Network Authentication Handler

I'm doing a web-based registration and authentication on voxeladventures.com. The basic gist is minetest downloads a new auth.txt file every 5 minutes. It doesn't use SRP it uses the old authentication method (SRP confuses the heck out of me). Of course I've been out of the loop for a year or longer...

Re: [Server] TerraQuest [beta]

The server is back online. The minetest servers don't automatically start when the server reboots and I haven't been doing much with it lately so I didn't know they were down. I need to build the latest version of Minetest and maybe start working on the game again. I haven't touched Minetest in a lo...

Re: [mod] New Pathfinder [wip][pathfinder]

I was going to work on a path finder that would support doors so it could return a path to an object that was behind a closed door that was not locked. Then the mob code would handle the door when the mob got to it. I may modify this to see how that would work out in the end.

Re: [Mod] Land Rush [landrush]

Yes there is a /shareall command. That will share all of a users existing land claims with another user. If they add more claims later on that they want to share with everybody they'll have to use the /shareall command again.

Re: How minetest actually works

Now maximum distance is ~50 nodes then entity disappears (invisible) with rise on_static event.

Re: Tell if player is inside [solved]

Would minetest.line_of_site be too expensive? Maybe use line_of_site in combination with the light method for more accuracy.

Re: Why client-sided scripting?

Can someone confirm or decline: does the server handles all mouse and keyboard events from its clients? If its true, then client side scripting can simplify inventory handling. Instead of sending "left mouse button down at x,y","mouse moved to x1,y1"(multiple times),"left m...

Re: io.lines() seems not longer to work

You can open the file and then use filehandle:lines(). I fixed the io violations in some mods on my server but then I got tired of tracking down security violations and just turned it off. In minetest.conf secure.enable_security = false https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/minetest.conf....

Re: Why client-sided scripting?

I think the main goal is better client side prediction. This would help with things like doors being slow to open / close, lag essentially bypassing protection.

Re: On_rightclick action

If you are creating a tool you can add on_secondary_use to your tool definition, it's just like on_use except it's executed when they right click.

To get meta use

Code: Select all

local meta = minetest.get_meta(pos)

You could write it in lua but there are already some path finding algorithms in the core already.

Re: Server Authority (Privs) Bug

It is really annoying. Maybe we should suggest that the client and the server not use the same config variable. Maybe they should add 'admin_name' for server use and then the client can still use 'name' for the last user that used the client.

Re: Server Authority (Privs) Bug

Look at minetest.conf and whatever player the 'name' setting is set to will have irrevocable full privs. That is most likely what is happening. You can setup a separate config to use when you launch your server or when you are in game and you have full privs type /set name f239023fj2309jf2309j23f ju...

Re: [floodable nodes] drop items on flood

As far as I can tell when you register a node as floodable it is considered the same as air by the engine when liquid spreads. If you want it to drop nodes you'll have to change the engine (which would be a bit of work) or do like taikedz said and write your own flooding system using an abm which wo...

Then recompile and the executable you are looking for is minetestserver not just minetest
