Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
When you get Minecraft, good luck to select correct version that is suitable with your PC hardware and software so that it didn't crash your PC because certain GPU is not compatible with certain build for some unknown reasons, and some GPU-accelerator software are also not compatible with Minecraft, and all settings in Java that needs to be modified... If it crash, well, select other version and retry, and re-modify Java settings... and if it's crash, repeat process... :P Beware of blue screen of death (BSOD) as well... (Unless you're playing the mobile or Windows App version, but beware for smartphone reboot / Windows app not responding halfway playing, especially on medium or lower end smartphones / Windows 10 PCs)BBmine wrote:This kind of stuff is making me seriously consider getting Minecraft.ExeterDad wrote: There will certainly be massive compatibility issues when it's finally released.

ExeterDad, Kibbie
I'm helping pangland out with his five-storied pagoda on Fascination Street, between ynomrah's mansion and my place. Is it possible for you to add me to the pro-blocks higher up, as I can't help him out above the first roof we've just done?

Ps. Were the Apple Festival group pictures posted anywhere yet?

Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
Some may know my little fishing hut entrance to the mines near spawn or have even used some of the tunnelsystem I have dug to the east and north.
Here are some somewhat older pics of places I have been active at in the north
My first hideout in the northern woods. My nephew and niece have settled nearby and soon enough someone else opened a shop near our community
Where our little forest river meets the big northern lake that stretches all the way to spawn there is a little pond like bay where I built my new main base. You can still see the size of the first little cobble hut under the timber framed expansion.
Soon enough I started exploring further north along the new road and near it's current end started to build a tower. Under that stump dreaming to become a proper tower I carved a new cavern to gain enough building material.

Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
I need to report a possible hacking of supjk's account. Recently someone told me that supjk's never EVER coming back to the server. That's just odd. Just now, I saw supjk's house has been ripped up on the inside. She just wouldn't do that! I feel like someone went into her account and did that. I think the last ip used to log into that account should be compared with the others she used.
Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
Hello ExeterDad/Kibbie,
Pre discussion with kiko in game, some players try to create different new account and keep log in and log out at the server. This action cause a huge laggy of the server.
Someone usually did such action after the server time(01:00am), the time which does not have most of moderator/admin.
It is easily to identify such action since it keep using the pattern of <player><numbers> to creating new account. For example, abc123, haha789... etc.
Kiko suggested me to upload those screenshot here and I had one of it.

Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
Yeah this happens daily at different times on pretty much all the severs. I can't prove it, nor stop it. But I believe it is some sort of bot script. The "players" come in one right after another and seem to hang around for 3 minutes or so and then just "leave". There is some sort of AI as they will randomly move around a little bit and randomly hit things.pangland wrote:Hello ExeterDad/Kibbie,

All these names are slightly odd and usually have 2-3 digits on the tail of them.
The bad thing about these "suspected bots" that show up at about the same time is that they do not have the same IP's

Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
This is just a theory, but, given that we have several third-party apps that use the Minetest platform, i.e. Multicraft, they may be stress testing the various servers to see which are the best functioning and most user friendly. They make money only if the players stick around, so they aren't going to want to send players to awful servers. I've noticed that "noob" traffic, i.e. the numbered names that are not from the actual Minecraft app, seem to ebb and flow month to month on various servers. One month, we have a ton on IFS. The next, they're all over Hometown. Fozland went from one of the most popular to a ghost town in less than 2 weeks.ExeterDad wrote:Yeah this happens daily at different times on pretty much all the severs. I can't prove it, nor stop it.

Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
I thought same about it. It should be some kind of bot. Whatever what the purpose it is, the outcome is that it cause a terrible laggy to server after it happen.ExeterDad wrote:Yeah this happens daily at different times on pretty much all the severs.

Players cannot even move or build in this case, it would not be a good thing for the sustainable of the server.

I'm currently working on a few things that should "help" with the performance. I just need to complete a few parts and I'll be adding soon after better testing.

Re: [Server] HOMETOWN
Expect at best a eight minute downtime during restart. I've put a script inline with the restart script that will do more work then I feel like describing in two lines or less. In a nut shell, it will remove all junk players from the player database, and the auth.txt. It will not remove old players. Just players with untouched inventories, and super short log in times. I've done several dry runs with the script and I am mostly sure it will complete and restart the server unattended. If something goes wrong and the server doesn't start after eight minutes, or if it starts up and is goofy. It will just have to be that way until I wake up and can get to it in the morning. I plan to be asleep during restart :)
We can expect better performance as this deep cleaning is long overdue. The last dry run brought 189,000+ player records down to 35,000+
P.S. The first thing this script does is back up the files that are to be worked on in case something goes up in smoke.
