Re: The TRUE edge of the world!

I have a builder and/or admin who used to like to travel to regions far past the edge of the world. He called it "go to non existence". He managed this by fuzzing teleport commands. After he got there, he'd throw things into the void. I don't remember the details, but two conversations we...

Re: How to make a Minetest Server with free hosting services

1. If you're in the U.S., you can get a low-end cloud server, an EC2 Micro Instance, from Amazon AWS free, or close to free, for a year. I'm not sure about the rules for people who are located overseas. To sign up for a Micro Instance, you'll need to have a credit card. However, if you proceed corr...

Re: I Would Like Someone To Host My server ?

So, there's no map yet? No existing buildings? If somebody asks me to start a new empty world, I usually suggest that they build in one of my existing worlds. There are plenty of worlds already; it's difficult to justify setting aside server resources to host a new one that's empty. When there's an...

Re: I Would Like Someone To Host My server ?

If possible, upload a ZIP file of the world to a hosting site and send me a link. Try to include the complete directory tree. Add copies of any modified or non-standard mods that you're using. Note: If the ZIP file isn't too large, you can try emailing it directly. However, unless the world is fair...

Re: is hosting on VPS possible\how to host if it is?

David, you can rent cloud servers of different types for $5 to $70 USD per month. A server suitable for a light-traffic MT world can be obtained for as little as $10 to $30 USD per month, but you may need to shop around. If you have a U.S. credit card, you can get a basic cloud server for free. or ...

Re: [Mod] WorldEdit [1.0] [worldedit] {GitHub}

Mainpage, so you have two copies of the worldedit mod? I don't think that I can help, because I can't see this. However, here are some basic points: worldedit is a modpack, not a single mod. There is a top-level folder, which can be called worldedit or worldedit-modpack. Inside that, there are fold...

Also, can you explain what you mean when you say "I took into.lua and pasted it into the mods/worldedit folder" ?

Re: [Mod] WorldEdit [1.0] [worldedit] {GitHub}


Serh Arien:

1. If possible, create a new Minetest directory tree using the 0.4.12 release as opposed to 0.4.13.

2. In the 0.4.12-based tree, update to the latest version of WorldEdit.

3. Let us know if the problem still occurs with the 0.4.12-based tree.
