Created a totally fresh new world and that launched okay. Screen shots of the cheeks. Is this the sort of thing you were thinking..?

Looks really good :-)

I tried adding your texture but it causes that item to never display

Maybe include me some install instructions ? ;-p

Ooh, very odd.

All I did was a simple overwrite-copy

Code: Select all

cp -fav ~/path/to/nssm_helmet_masticone_crowned-4.png   \
        ~/.minetest/mods/nssm/textures/nssm_helmet_masticone_crowned.png
and then relaunched the Minetest server.

Just a thought, did you make sure the ''-4'' was knocked off the end of the filename..?

BTW, I didn't yet do the related inventory and preview images I discovered in the folder, but if you're happy with the general design I'll see about trying those textures too.. :)

Analytical thought, process of elimination, I wondered about the result of forum upload/download and yes, that's working here ... I've just ''cp -fav'' the actually-downloaded image-file ''nssm_helmet_masticone_crowned-4.png'' into the nssm/textures folder, relaunched the Minetest server and the little guy's wearing it fine here.

FWIW, the SHA1 sum is : fe3b5f488281f5eaaa55541b65cf80f6912c2d75

I'll keep thinking..

Will keep trying on my end. Yes I removed -4 ..... I was thinking perhaps something with the alphas but no.....

Will keep at it, don't bother yourself there, it's on my end!

I'm quite sure you'll have already checked, but just in case, given we're mostly *nix here, and probably more for the sake of future *ooglers (personally I use StartPage and DuckDuckGo), I suddenly thought it worth asking about ''permissions'' too ... the old ''owner'' and ''mode'' stuff ... checked the ~/.minetest/mods/nssm/textures folder and mine are all owned by the same user (me) as is running the server and the mode is ''rw-rw-r--'' aka octal 0664.

HTH :)

I hadn't had time to test that since.

But yes... it seems that has done it... though I'm pretty sure when I was doing my tests locally I was still having the problem, with fully owned files....

Ah well. It is on. Enjoy your new headgear :-D

Thank you kindly good Sir! :^D

Glad to hear it's working now. I will try it in-game, and will try to see about the other related textures, the inventory/preview stuff.

I also see we've got a version 0.4.15 out now.

Hopefully if it drops in NSSS nothing will break, but rest assured, whatever, I'll continue to keep an eye out for 'oddness' and let you know ... though the latest-release change-log mentions chat-length as a trigger for anti-spam so I'll have to be careful.. LOL :-P

Hah. It's the build that was from 2 commits before 0.4.15 .... so for all intents and purposes, it is just about 0.4.15 already :-P

Will do another build soonish

I love the new helmet texture. Looks much better than the old one.
a Few questions. Where do one find that blue material(think it's called maranga?)?

No interaction with animals like cows and sheep, can not sheer the sheep or get milk from cows. Can not do anything with saddles. Not sure if it is supposed to be like that or not.

Hello

Glad you are enjoying!

The material called morgana, and any stuff that has one of the Seven Deadly Sins in its name ("Lustful," "Greed," etc) is obtained by defeating monsters in the underworld - normally those portals should appear randomly but rarely somewhere in the overworld.... but I *am* considering forcing one to appear somewhere near spawn...

No it's not normal you can't shear sheep, get milk, or use saddles on horses.....! I'll take a look as soon as I can...

Thanks for letting me know :)

Fixed. Turns out it was the old petting code which didn't take into account these special mobs...

Thank you. I will look more for those portals then, did not find one yet. Rather not put one near spawn, then it is too easy! :)
I like good challenges.

I got griefed badly. All my chests are gone(protected chests) and some of my protection blocks taken out. I didn't even know this is even possible.

That should indeed not even be possible. Hang on a tick.

It's the damned rainbow staff.

I've had to close the server now. The spawn is a mess because a number of people have been using rainbow staffs all over the place....... and the protection checks I put on the mobs and tools seem to have been lost in the update....

It's a cluster cluck right now. I'm working to fix this somehow.

Yes. I think i may need to start Not So Simple Server from the very beginning again....

Fresh server. Bleh.

I will plan this carefully before i release.

It is time to kill this server. I have not had the time to give it the attention it deserved, and it has been just too hard to maintain meaningfully. NSSS Mk III is being switch off. NSSS suite is no more.

Oh, how pity! What happened on your server what you even disconnected it?

I have not had a time to survive there properly yet!
