Oops, had the port forwarded to the wrong host. It should be up now.

Also, not quite sure why the 0,0,0 spawn bug is happening again. It didn't seem to be happening when I just checked, but I'll keep an eye on it.

[OldCoder]

If you check my earlier posts, you'll find a patch for the spawn 0,0,0 problem.

[stormchaser3000]

ok. i have found a hacker ut before releasing his username i would like to confirm that it is against the rules to cheat or use patches or code edits to the minetest engine on this server.

[horse_lover]

So I decided it would be fun to download hungry games to play with my friends but this is what happened...
ERROR: ...st/games/hungry_games-master/mods/playermodel/player.lua:146: attempt to call method 'set local animation' (a nil value)
Could someone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks in advance :)

[Wuzzy]

This looks like you are using an old Minetest version. I suggest to upgrading to Minetest 0.4.12.
If you already use this version, I have no idea what causes this crash.

[horse_lover]

OK, will do. I have minetest 0.4.9 so I guess that's why it's not working. Thanks!

[horse_lover]

There really should be a chat regulator thing where if someone spams their chat gets revoked. I think there is a mod for that...

It doesn't happen often but when it does it is veryyyyy annoying :P

I'll look around for a fix. If I can't find one, I'll see if I can throw something together myself.

i am unable to connect properly to the hunger games server. i just get a timeout message

[horse_lover]

Same with me. All I get is a "connecting to server" and that is it. But when I look at the server list, there are people playing on the server.

[Hybrid Dog]

maybe there can't connect more than 7 players
http://servers.minetest.net/

[horse_lover]

Then wouldn't there be a message saying there are too many players? Besides, I'm pretty sure there are a total of 30 slots...

Not sure what is causing this exactly, I've been dealing with this for the past few days. I just recompiled minetest, updated all my mods and restarted my server. Hopefully that will solve the problem. If not I'll have to do a bit of digging.

[GunshipPenguin]

Map has been changed. New lobby and starting area have been added.

[horse_lover]

someone has placed ladders all over parkour... so now there is really no point in it. Also there is a ladder which goes from spawn all the way down to the arena area. This is really confusing because spectators are entering the game, and also players in the hunger games can come into the arena and hide there. And... someone made a diving board :P

[programmingchicken]

Woah. That should really be fixed.

i do know who the hacker is. his username is w_laenger. he was online yesterday with noclip but no noclip priv. and a few client side chat commands. the guy even gave me a diff of his modified client


EDIT: there is no proof however that w_laenger is responsible for the ladders to from what i saw. it is possible that some people just made sticks and made ladders at spawn

[Calinou]

GunshipPenguin, can you install the name_restrictions mod please?

[Wuzzy]

Why?

I am a skeptical of the mod, because it disallows many names and its error messages are not always helpful. (One example: You can be blocked because of a “similar” user name but the mod doesn't say to which one).
Especially I am skeptical about the “pronouncable” rule, because I doubt it would work out for every language.

From my experience, most players with “Guest” in they name behaved on this server, so I see no problem here.

[Maker Minetest]

Two, fakers of: Calinou, OldCoder, ShadowNinja, VannesaEzekowitz
Could you assembleban them please?

[Maker Minetest]

I agree mostly with Wuzzy on this issue. Misleading/unpronounceable/guest usernames haven't really ever been an issue on this server and I don't see much of a need for this mod right now. I'll keep it in mind however, in case it becomes needed at a later date.
