Just noticed that you can't ping the website. I guess someone forgot to pay the monthly bill.

Fixer wrote:It is just me, or there is quite a delay when digging blocks and such? Ping was about 200ms and max_lag at 1.7-2, felt worse this time.

I don't think it's just you.

There should be an underground map that has no caves except for just the space needed for the base.

Server hardware isn't everything. If you have 100 players at spawn, each individual player will have player information transmitted to them about the other 99 players. That's a lot of bandwidth for the clients!

JNEITRONS wrote:Address field: 0.0.0.0 Port field:%your port%

I'm connecting from another machine, and put the hostname in the address field. Port on the server is 30001, so that's what I use in the port field on the client.

I used the hostname of the machine. Then I tried the IPv6 address (There ain't no IPv4 address anymore)

I'm running a Minetest LAN server on a Linux machine. I haven't run it since February. Tried today, and it starts fine, but I time out when I try to connect. I can connect to that Linux machine in any other way (ssh, http, nfs, etc).

I've noticed that some Minetest mods are making it to the Debian packaging system. Is it better to use these, or to just do it the old way?

I'll have to try this out!

As for server lag, adding collision probably wouldn't make it much worse. The cart movement probably takes more processing power than collision would. But boost_cart is very efficient, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. I was thinking more of the fact that with server lag, you might be crashi...

I don`t think it may influence to popularity somehow. Though can they move to other servers? When we lose our favorite server, we don't really feel like joining a different one. Nothing quite fits the way the server that went down did. I felt this when HOMETOWN was down for a month. Even after it c...

Can someone make a cart that doesn't go through other carts? And maybe the player should receive damage just like in a real crash. Just an idea, as I can see this kind of thing becoming a big mess when server lag comes into play.

lol

Our poor 5400 rpm laptop drives can't keep up with map saving enabled.

BTW, am I the only one that's unable to connect to the server? No. The server appears to be down at the moment (actually down, not just hung). Yeah down. I forgot yesterday was the due date for the bill. It should be back shortly. Sorry guys. The guys over at Rigs of Rods forgot once, and their hos...

where you saw that server online?! - this is not true(

It was online for a little bit the other day.

Getting spammed again. Was racist WWII propaganda the other day. This time, who knows what he's saying. Looks like a lot of gibberish 'bout his bum. Says he's got a VPN, so he can relog for a new IP. You'll need to blacklist VPN's to combat this. https://github.com/doyousketch2/VPN_blocklist The wo...

Hey @ExeterDad, I don't know if this helps any, but https://web.archive.org/web/20171221203316/http://hometownserver.com:80/ There is an old archived version of the HOMETOWN forum. I don't know if that's useful or not though. Quite sure I made another archive more recently... Maybe it was just a th...

Glad to see the server back and chugging along! Only thing is that my stuff looks like it did back in late 2017/early 2018. :P (And yes, I've been having the local map saving thing going on)

We have a map that seems good enough. Kibbie and I have been freeing up "that land" surrounding spawn. Although this doesn't mean there will be a land rush. It will be released in time if available. We don't want just anyone digging up or building anything too strange so close to spawn. S...

I guess ExeterDad's bot is hard at work recreating the world.

All I was saying was that you were blaming Linux for something it didn't do.

Is the HOMETOWN server back up yet (I don't mean the Minetest server that we play on, I mean the actual hardware/VM)? Survival X was up when I checked a few minutes ago. Pinged it and 100% packet loss, so I guess not. That won't answer the question. For the past week or so, the server's been runnin...

Exeter was having a problem with Linux using the hometown IP with Survival X it made both servers linked for some reason It wasn't Linux's fault. It was because they are both hosted at the same place and they had a cooling issue and had to shut everything down. Windows won't make it have less cooli...

/me notices I can't connect to the server to check the script status. /me tries everything.
