Sorry I use also fedora and I have also problem with shadow

I use Minetest 0.4.9 from Fedora 20 , 64bit
and I have the same problem.
I added Uberi-Minetest-WorldEdit-2784a25 mod
I created a new figure piramid , cylinder and other need figures ,
Some command not working, some mods also not working
example
Failed to load and run
/home/gg/minetest/mods/maptools-master/init.lua
/home/gg/minetest/mods/smartfs-master/init.lua

I used tnt from Nuke mod to remove unnecessary blocks.
I created new land, I had to write //yes or to //no because I had warning I edit a lot of blocks.
I created land ( Dirt ) , one , second and I have bug with shadows.
and now around me are the pieces of shadows.

//light command not found

I see "set nodes " example dirt , and I use tnt to remove dirt blocks fix my problem with shadows,
To remove blocks in world edit should be option "Clear Objects" ?
because for me not working and I'm not sure what this do.

You can remove blocks with "//set air".

To fix the shadow problem, I simply do my terraforming in smaller pieces horizontally now. I've also converted my world to LevelDB which appears to help too because terrain loading is less laggy. WorldEdit shadows always seem to appear in areas far from the player that have not updated properly. Usually if you fly towars the shadow areas quickly (with LevelDB), that triggers a lighting update and the shadows disappear.

"Fix lighting" OTOH never seems to fix anything at all.

Very thanks

this working,
I mark the area of the air above the ground, so high and shadow no exist,
I wrote "//set air" and shadows at the marked spot, disappeared.

I have "ugly" shadows in places where I edit or move blocks to up.
Now I can more safely remove them, thanks

Yes, //light is not a command. WorldEdit for Minetest is not affiliated with the WorldEdit for Minecraft project, and both projects use different commands for different functionality.

I recommend reading the README note about chat commands and the GUI. You don't seem to need the tutorial, but the chat command reference is worth checking out, especially if you're used to Minecraft's WE.

Which commands are not working (remember that the commands are different from Minecraft)? The other mods that are not working seem unrelated to WorldEdit - you probably want to contact the authors of those mods about that.

By the way, 2784a25561be45894d2a138828013c96f387d470 is a commit hash and denotes a particular set of changes I made to the code. You can view the details at https://github.com/Uberi/Minetest-World ... 6f387d470.

//fixlight is meant to fix a very specific issue that occurs due to an engine bug in Minetest, where sunlight does not get propagated downwards. It does not and is not supposed to do anything else.

//clearobjects (that Clear Objects button) is meant to remove entities in the WorldEdit region, not remove nodes. Again, all this is documented in the chat command reference.

It doesn't work. I tried to get rid of the shadows you see in the screenshot below with //fixlight but nothing changed.

I had a related issue. I cleared out an underground area in WE by setting nodes to air, then laid down some mine track that connected up to track above ground. Then I jumped in a mine cart and rode down. As soon as I hit the cleared out area, my view goes black and i couldn't move or get out. The only way to fix was to add solid nodes above the track then delete them manually.

I know that problem from my server. Fixlight doesn't work anytime.
1) set //pos1 and //pos2 in the dark area (somewhere)
2) //set default:dirt
3) //unmark
4) horray

This method too sometimes fails: Because occasionally the weird shadow will appear on top of the added dirt block. Remove the dirt block and the shadow will be back on the ground. :-(

I can tell you more ...
It's something is in the air, this causes shadows, but you and I can not see them.

- First we need find area in air where it is not visible something that causes shadows.
( To find this area I use dirt blocks, I build pole/column in the shade so high, as the block dirt on top will light )
- Next you can mark this area and remove with //set air or 2) //set default:dirt.
( I mark light block at the top, and second point at the second end of the shade at the bottom )

Yesterday, I built a ditch to the river, I deepened ditch gradually and I noticed,
shadow runs away from me to the second end of the ditch,

This looks something like this.
( however I have new Hardware i5 intel Nvidia GTX 660 with driver nvidia 331.49 in 64bit Fedora 20 )

Upss, sorry! I edited it now.

Nice mod... Only problem is that it can be used for mass grieving as it was recently in a couple of servers when hacked clients managed to flood spawn and areas around it with 100*100*100 blocks of water.

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 09:30**

You obviously aren't supposed to give untrusted persons WorldEdit privileges.

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 09:39**

True... But they didn't have they privilege... Only the 3 admins had the WorldEdit Privs on 1 server which a client hacked to gain the priv and used it grieve spawn... It has happened on quite a few servers now...

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 09:42**

maybe there hacked clients have built-in worldedit?

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 09:45**

I don't know if that is possible...

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 09:49**

An admin has to grant a priv to a person for them to be able to use it, or a client would have to hack the server to gain it. Not sure tho as I don't own a server nor do I manage one

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 11:30**

Actual hacking is very hard and has a very small success rate.
Modified clients can place nodes everywhere , but only in their range.
It is also not possible to create items out of thin air.

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 11:40**

Yes I know... But I cannot think of any other solution as to how a client gained the WorldEdit priv

Posted: **Mon Apr 07, 2014 11:41**

...Unless they guessed an Admins password

unlikely

...but "bugusing" is easy

I'm not aware of any bugs in WorldEdit that would allow e.g. placing 100x100x100 cube of water without permission.
