Traffic to the PRMS has been steadily increasing over this past weekend. We went from ~25 requests per day to nearly 100 per day. It seems more people have started to use the PRMS! Awesome!

Please note that 0.4.13 clients and older do not properly understand the remote media protocol API, and will fail to retrieve media from the PRMS. If you allow old MT versions to connect to your server, these clients will load all the media from your game server instead of from the remote media server. You can of course reject these older clients on your server to prevent this.

I can't work with this. I'm not going to take 3 hours of my time to (1) find the URL for each of them (2) figure out whether I already have them and (3) take a look and see if it's even worth doing.

You're going to have to help. Please do this:

A) First, remove all the mods that are in https://github.com/minetest-mods/, since those are already included (3d_armor, mesecons, technic etc. already are).
B) Second, read the thread above and remove mods that are already included and mentioned as "Added" in one of my replies
C) For any mod that remains, please give me the git URL of the mod, not just the name (I don't care if it's funny, I just don't have the time to search the forums to find out which fork of each mod you want).

Thanks, If you can do this I can much more quickly add them to the server.

i understand,
That's sure I did not just put 3 crap mods :) they are sooooo lot .....
some are old enough but still functional.
and I do not see myself finding all the addresses one by one me either.....
it's not me proposing something after all. I just share a list available
Someone advised me to use this thing.
I would do with what there will be, and I don't need it in the absolute.
So, good luck for the next.
you have the mods name.
If you want do something, do it
if not, i don't care.

I'm going to assume you're a community member of the younger variety and that you're not reflecting on the hours of free labor put into this service. Have some manners.

It's fine, I understand the reaction, it wasn't even that bad.

This project costs me about 5 minutes of my time per week. That's the amount of time I spend checking on the server and adding one repos to it. That's all the time I want to invest in this project too, at this point. The server automatically applies security updates and so there's almost nothing to do except check if it's still online.

If I receive a mod request just by name, and it's not minetest-mods or something common, it takes me ~30 seconds to ~5 minutes to find it and make sure I have the right one. Then I spend at least 2-10 minutes checking licensing and making sure it's kosher and not plagiarism or plain copyright violations, lewd, stupid, distasteful. Then I have to usually spend another 1-3min tracking down the repository and inspect it, plus another minute to add it to the PRMS.

So, conservatively, it takes me between 4 and 15 minutes to add a single project "by name".

This person posted 30+ projects by name. 30 * 4min = 2 hours (minimum). 30*15 = 7-8 hours(worst case).

If they can't understand that they're potentially asking me to do 2+ hours of work, and they're not willing to stick out a hand and help me to reduce that to something like 10-20 minutes by filtering the list before it gets to me, then they're not worth the time.

If someone else is kind enough to dig through casp3r's mod and see which ones are worth checking, I'll gladly do it, but I won't accept a dumped mod list, especially when I can see the first one already explicitly was mentioned before as being added.

casp3r, if you really don't care, you wouldn't have posted on the forum about it in the first place.

I did visit casp3r server a week ago, it took forever to load media.
I told him that he wouldn't get any players with so many medias (at least with no Remote Media Server)

So, I'm probably responsible for this crazy request, I didn't expect him to throw his whole mod list at you x)

Anyway, many french people use "I don't care" instead of "I don't mind", it's a common mistake when the French try to speak English.

I'm pretty sure he didn't realised that ending his post like this can be offensive.

:)

Anyway, the best way this project works is if everyone helps out a little bit here and there. So please, do continue to suggest mods, and please link at least the forum page or github page for those mods.

mydeck https://github.com/minetest-mods/mydeck.git
Added most of these, except digton+mydeck (already there, as it was moved to minetest-mods), cme (unmaintained) and deserteagle (no git).

Thanks for digging through the list for me!

It wasn't, don't worry. Glad to see people care enough to ask for more mods being hosted on it ;)

Stats:

- 4 1/2 month operational already
- 7+ million files served total
- averaging about 10gb of data per month

Still barely nothing, so, please tell more server owners to use this service!

minetest-mods/skinsbd is still added, right?
But could you please also add:
https://github.com/bell07/minetest-skinsdb
because it includes >1000 skins.
