[Server] just test

[sorcerykid]

Here's a quick and simple map I prepared of the various roadways around spawntown.



Hopefully at some point, lag might consider uploading a recent satellite image of the world using minetestmapper.

[iisu]

Are those actual names of the roadways or did you just give them names of players who built them/keep them/live by them for the sake of the map? I like the idea. Maybe we (those who own the roadways) should give the streets their names and place name plates like on JT2?

EDIT: nvm, I just noticed they're actually named after players and have their name plates. Neat.

Nah, JT is for exploration and survival. Where's exploration when you have a map on you?

[sorcerykid]

I think all the roads in the map other than the Lag highway on the east side and the Cleaner Pro Avenue are owned and built by Morpheus. As I recall, Cleaner Pro Avenue was given that name by rnd back in April, since it was the only road on the server at the time. All the other roads seem to be dedicated to influential players from the days of the original just test (I recognize most of them from the Just Test Hall of Fame building on maikerumine's ESM server).

Hello lag, you maybe know me. I'm very like your server and i play on your last server on nickname "Guest7352" , but on this update i don't find yellow protector textures :(. And please can you again download yellow protector textures )))). #just_test_best_server

[iisu]

I'm very like your server

Fun to play with but unmaintained?

Sorry, that was a bad pun, I guess.

I know :3

[JNEITRONS]

Wow! I can go on old just test map!

[JNEITRONS]

Lag01, can you add protected chests?

[Andrey01]

Lag01, can you add protected chests?

What to add for if those chests have already existed long ago? At least, they craft from one mese block in center slot and 8 stone blocks around that mese block.

Seems like there is new stuff on server today:
- stone monster can gives things like mossy cobblestone, torch, other stuff, and GOLD!
- green/yellow/red monster's health indicator
- they seems to show up in the day too.

It seems to slow down the server a bit.. there is massive "hit" by too fast cheat for a lot of people because it was slow.

Oh well, i didn't notice big change in cpu usage, so it may be network usage problem. I always had suspicion, that nametags may slow down clients with slow internet.
Hopefully, i will sort it out eventually.

you can turn off the health indicators by adding this line to minetest.conf file:

mobs_show_health = false

Read my private messages in forum please or you didn't get PM?
Sounds weird if you haven't read my PM.

So at about 4:20 UT cvc decided to somehow flood the edge of spawn with lava.






Managed to catch the login thief pasty in this one! Oh well blank passwords are never a good idea.

Milan2018 put in most of the effort to contain the flow. but as you can see others helped too.



As you can see I heroically gathered the bones of all the noobs that strayed too close to the inferno.

Edit: I predict climbing picks will make these types of attacks much more common, it's not a great idea to let people climb up protected walls in my opinion.

[talamh]

Just checked again, lava is not contained. Would a vacuum bomb disable the flow? I don't currently have enough resources on this server to make one to find out.

[iisu]

He tried to do this again but I stopped the flowing lava with cobble. Later he flooded another corner.

[Fixerol]

Empty passwords should be disallowed.

[talamh]

Empty passwords should be disallowed.

Agreed but in computing it's always the edge cases that get you, I'm sure Lag never thought anyone would be so foolish as to have a blank password for their primary or even secondary login.

[lag01]

I have blank password for my secondary logins...

[sorcerykid]

I know it's a long shot, but would you please consider increasing the expiry for gold braziers to 10 days?

Ideally players could arrange a specific time every week to perform the replacement. But since there is exactly 7 days, with no additional allowance, that means trying to remember to renew protection earlier and earlier each week, which is both cumbersome and increasingly prone to oversights. With an extra few days, that would at least provide some leeway for human error. After all, sometimes players are busy and don't have time to login for several days at a time. Thanks for your consideration lag!

[lag01]

hmm, 8 days?
also, you know, you can increase this period up to 14 days if you have lots of coal...

[iisu]

Why?

This is JT, not JT2. No need to complicate things.

hmm, 8 days?

Sounds good.

[sorcerykid]

This is JT, not JT2. No need to complicate things.

So remembering to replace dozens of braziers every 6.5 days isn't complicated to you?

Okay I'm glad you think so.

lag, please ignore my suggestion to extend the timeframe. That would be too complicated for players.

Sorry, I think I just misunderstood that one sentence. For some reason I thought you meant something like giving players an option to decide when exactly their protection would expire within a permitted time frame, I don't even know how that would work.
I like your suggestion to extend the time frame and I even said it in the same post.

PS: Spawn corner got flooded again. On a positive note, people die in lava and there's tons of bones lying around. I just collected another stack from there.
