Minetest Forums

This server is dead, more than a week with connection timeout. It's sad that is gone, was a good server, too hard sometimes but challenging.

There are plenty of servers in public list that hang (read as: inaccessible server for hours or days until the admin login to the server host and restart manually) for a mod written not so well. This mod is a quick-n-dirty approach to make server back online instead of waiting that the admin of the ...

Attention: Linux only Mod that kill and restart server if server is hanged for some mods. Still buggy, strangely kills the server if there's low activity, i don't know if Minetest stops to run lua when no player are playing. The mod itself is just a timetracker that writes a timestamp in /tmp, the s...

Tools one: on Github i proposed a mod to the default minetest_game to repair a tool simply putting a ingot over the worn tool in the crafting grid, got rejected. A way to have less broken tools could be to break the tool instead of destroy it, so it could be repaired.

After a bit i ignored hunger, because when you're hungry you lost only half heart, so it's pretty useless. To die of starvation you must wait (residual_hearts * 2) * hunger, a way to improve that could be hunger last proportionally to hearts, more life you have less hungry you are. With few hearts h...

Good server, keep going (except for the hunger system, but i can go further) Some questions: ores are incremental over depth? There's a way to repair tools? Is a protection system like Landrush expected for the future? I know stone finding is a good griefer protection, but when got a pick someone co...

Theoretically, a faster map backend should lower latency?

But practically it wouldn't be noticed.

I've read somewhere that on SQLite is better (~= faster) to insert, e.g., 10 values with a single INSERT than 10 separate INSERT with a single value; doing this would require a deep rewrite of the map engine, or the implementation of a queue system to perform the query after a determined number of a...

Too many zombies cause too hard to escape, and after some time too many lags. It still spawn forever but never die. I don't find the zombies mod anywhere (maybe my googling skills are going bad XD) so i assume you made it. In this case, i have some ideas to improve it for minor lagging. I assume th...

Well, that's better now XD I used to have a texture pack versions before the current one, installed on my client only, but now i think isn't possible and the client fetches the mods from the server, so client side sound couldn't be possible. But, let's take a look at ogg encoder options oggenc from ...

It seems that Ogg doesn't support it.

Btw, 12 GB for all songs? They are uncompressed right?

I think it's because of gimp Oh, just a different monitor color profile, and not the shader option (that don't do anything on my client) Just a question Glomie, why you closed the zombie/moxo server? I liked the zombie-spawned-everywhere idea :( (even with no /sethome, a pain to come back to surfac...

Songs to Mono 6gb.
All to mono & ditch songs 1.4 gb

Just a question, there are many songs or that's their weight in wav?

Also, you can try joint stereo to save space for stereo songs, instead of making them mono.

You can't repair the spawn: If you come near to it, your 35 FPS change to 5 FPS. So you can't remove/build somewhat there without getting completely annoyed. Everywhere water, you can't let it disappear. And protect blocks disallow changing sth there. ... Before it was griefed it looked like an use...

Another player data corruption, once i log in the server shuts down.

I think this server is a little... dead.

Oh, the server is up now.

trukoil, that shouldnt happen, you type /tpy to accept, /tpn to deny. Server may be down, I can't check. Weird, i typed nothing and the player, just logged in, appeared in front of me and began to hit me with sword, when i was mining deep underground. Another bug i found, i randomly get armor (stee...

not good. Another thing i noticed, the "teleport to player" feature/priv should work with the permit of the dest player, that should type /accept_tp or something, but it's the second time that a player teleport to me without my consent (no message that tell me to accept a teleport request...

Weird, i've mined like 10 diamonds and the message it's the same, i need to mine more block_with_diamond.

I changed 3 nickname because when i logged in the server gave the message "The server is shutting down", i think there's a player data corruption somewhere, my Minetest is git-pulled from yesterday. And now, i can't connect at all, Minetest remains on "connecting to server" until...

The server keeps crashing, looks like after a player join, and changing nick gives a bit of time before the nick login causes crash.

You're right.

Glomie, i have an idea for testing Minetest new features: a Minetest git/nightly server on port 30002 (for example) updated weekly, with map reset on new version. Maybe few or no external mod at all.

Is it possible to add a rail that blocks the cart, instead of decelerate it?
