Usesdirt mod is no more. Many unknown nodes in its place.

Removed because it's abandoned and had broken furnaces causing server crashes. I'm going to put some compatible building-related nodes in soon via gloopblocks. File an issue against gloopblocks for this, please, lest I forget.

Hello, Vanessa.
What about to add Game Background Music mod? Players can build and inspire with listening of nice music on your servers.
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=17770&p=310413&hil ... ic#p310413

Definitely not. If the player wants music while they play, they can just fire up their favorite MP3 player.

Vanessa, i just noticed all your servers use 0.4.17-dev, but could you use 0.4.17.1 or 5.0.0-dev?

My servers use compiled-from-git code, not 0.4.17 release, and I have no plans to update (definitely not to 5.x, anytime soon).

Due to excessive lag caused by users abusing Technic and other mods that lack any kind of CPU usage limiting, this server has been shut down until further notice., Technic has been removed (since it's the main problem anyway)

Please try my Creative Building server instead: daconcepts.com 30008

The creative server is even less dependant on technic. It'd be great to have a replacement mod that adds the nodes but doesn't really run anything - at least not a long time after a player has last clicked.

Hey VanessaE, how can we get an admin to fix some minor griefing in our house in creative-building server? Another player added a bunch of locked doors in our house, which we can't open or remove. Is there an IRC channel where admins can be reached?

You can go to Freenode channel #ve-minetest-servers, but since that's where the servers are connected, you'd be just as likely to find an admin by going on IRC as you would just asking through the server chat (not that there are many admins around anymore... people drift away, etc.).

Where is the house that needs fixed?

I've brought this server back online, with mod, game, and engine updates. Seems to be stable and not much lag.

I'm having trouble finding how to join the server. Help please?

Just point your Minetest client at daconcepts.com port 30000 and put in your desired user name and a password that you can remember (or record somewhere).

Explains what I am seeing here. I guess people have nothing better to do than to be pricks...

Yep, pretty much.

I know that you only host Banana Land Server.
But can anything like this be done for it? Lag has become a pain [BEEP!], if you get what I mean.

Well, system-wise things are already okay on the server machine, and since I take a hands-off approach for what I host, I can't really do anything.

Can I get worldedit privs??

No, I do not grant worldedit to anyone but admins. And no you can't be an admin. :-P

But I have need a building and I want to save it with worldedit so that I can place it in my world.

That's a diffrent situation. You still don't need WorldEdit on the server for that. First off, VanessaEs servers are stable over years and years. Hard to get a server that'll show your building longer than that :-) And even if an extremly rare mapchange occours, buildings are copied over. Might even be safer than your local world.

You might of course try to ask if someone with the WorldEdit priv saves the building for you and sends it to you in some way. But even that's not really necessary. Just set "enable_local_map_saving = true" in your minetest.conf - and what you see on the server will be saved in a local world for you, which you can then access locally, grant yourself WorldEdit, and copy the building over.

As a third option, there might be a local mod that runs locally on your client and saves your building locally. I think I saw such a mod on the forum but don't remember exactly where, and I havn't tried it yet. My buildings are usually adjusted to the sourrounding terrain, and thus I need more than the mere house as such to be saved.

Thanks for this option. I've tested it but where is the local world??

Thanks VanessaE for noclip privs.

I have the "Random Building with Elevator, 740 Eva Ave." at (-158,7,748) working and saved ( You can download it) Can anyone make a .we the vertical movestone elevator nearly the spawnpoint??

Hello VanessaE, can you please add my Painter mod (viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22924) to your servers? Painter mod allows drawing arbitrary paintings in Minetest. This mod perfectly fits into the idea of creating and building.

No, I don't think so. Such mods, like my signs_lib and street_signs mods, use entities, and abuse the hell out of texture compositing, to create the image. This leads to lag and FPS loss.
