[Server] FozLand

by Foz » Post

I'm in the planning stages of making a server similar to the Liberty Land Server which is scheduled to go offline July 31st, 2015.

Currently I'm gathering code and trying to get an idea of the complexity of recreating that server's environment. Ideally everything would be updated to use the latest server code. At the moment I see two distinct possibilities.

1. Try to recreate the server exactly as it is.
2. Use a new map, but import buildings from the old map one chunk at a time with world-edit schematics.

Each approach has advantages and I might not be able to do either. This is a work in progress.

If you are interested in helping, please identify yourself and say what you can offer the project.

To all my friends at Liberty Land Server, I hope to see you all again soon.


Update: 2015-07-26

In full development and aiming for option 1 but with as many upstream enhancements as possible.

Browse the project code: https://github.com/FozLand
(note: for most of repos, I'm using the fozland branch. Be warned that I will rebase this branch whenever I feel like it.)

Update: 2015-08-11

Option 2 prevails. I'm keeping the map I've been using in LLM II (testing). At some point I will be willing to import individual buildings from other servers into this map upon request. However, at the moment there are several serious bugs that require my attention. Some of these bugs cause server crashes, but it should restart automatically within a few seconds. If it crashes while you're playing, try to log in again :)

Update: 2016-12-30

We need at least one update this year right? We got new hardware a few months ago and were able to bump up our active player limit. The server is also much more stable than it was a year ago. So far no one has requested importing a building and now the map is well established, so that option is being removed. All the code is being maintained on https://github.com/FozLand if anyone want to take a look. Also we now have an IRC channel #Fozland to discuss future development.

Nice, I'm looking forward, give it a good name so we can find it on the list easily.

Awesome. I assume you found the github?

Perhaps just try load up the mods indicated in the ayntest_game there, use a subset of the maps(like the ones saved walking around) to see if anything breaks then? Might be easier than loading the entire thing.

Less than two weeks left, I thought I would provide a status update.

What is done:
  • hardware setup
  • vm server setup
  • bandwidth upgraded
  • minetestserver running (its been live for a few weeks now, maybe you've seen it :)
  • mods configured
    • 3d_armor
    • bakedclay
    • bamboo
    • bitchange
    • mesecons
    • moreblocks
    • moreores
    • shooter
    • travelnet
    • u-skins
    • unifieddyes
    • unified_inventory
What still needs to be done (ie the plan) for a smooth transition:
  • install/configure remaining mods (this involves combining the ayntest code with upstream repos)
  • test and debug (if you're reading this maybe you'd like to help test?)
  • swap out the db and player data when it becomes available
  • mine happily ever after :)

Absolutely yes, I plan on building a website with the server map. However, I have to get the server running properly first, so it might be a while before a companion website is up and running.

Thanks for pointing out the tree issue, I'm guessing this is because I'm still missing several mods (maybe item_drop). I'm not sure the cause but this is exactly the type of difference I'm trying to find and fix so thanks for pointing it out.

I know bushes spawned on map gen, I'm not sure if they are still spawning, I'll look into it, but its low priority atm.

I'm planning to switch to the same map gen as Liberty Land Minetest (LLM), and actually use that map, once it becomes available.

I'm installing a few more mods each day. I'm not sure if I'll get all of them installed by the 31st, but I'm trying. Hopefully the down time between LLM going down and my server going up will be small.

Also, I appreciate any information about different behaviors between my server and LLM.

I think i can do this. 23 mods left to add. I think I've done most of the hard ones and I'm getting faster as I get more familiar with git, lua, and the api.

Feel free to test it out and let me know your thoughts/concerns.

The server is named 'LLM II (testing)', and its usually near the bottom of the server list.

I'm awaiting the release of the ayntest data. Even once it becomes available it could take some time to copy it and get things running. Maybe a week. In the mean time, I will be keeping the test server running.

Jungles are enabled, but they weren't enabled when the map was first generated. I'll look for one just to be sure. (Edit: oops! didn't know I had to update minetest.conf AND map_meta.txt. Jungles are enabled now! Thanks for noticing. You may have to walk to an unexplored area of the map to find one though.)

I never got a copy of the map, but Evil has a copy and is running the original server configuration.

Some sections of the map have been damaged. I'm in the process of restoring what I can from backups. Recent modifications in the damaged areas may not be able to be recovered. As a precaution, the server will be off-line until I have had more time to investigate this problem.

Due to a technical error, a section of the map was deleted. The effected section was from x: -355 to 715, y: 1 to 36, z: 142 to 348. I have recovered this area from backups. However, recent changes may not have been saved in the backups. This means that recent builds in this area may have been lost. If you are effected by this, please let me know and I will see what I can do to help.

Also, the server should be back up shortly.

The server is offline due to a power outage. I'll turn it back on as soon as power is restored.

UPDATE: Power is restored and we're back online :)

Hey Foz!
I have no idea where to reach you, so I'm trying here...
Is the server currently down? (like in the last 24 hours)
I can't log in (timing out), but I can still get the map through :80.
Hope you get this message somehow.

Thanks.
