Not sure what happened, i'm new to TNG, downloaded the latest version from github, added it to the games folder of the recently released Minetest 0.4.14 for win32 , i ran a new world with it (no additional mod, only TNG) on Valley mapgen .

Spawned in some non-dense forest , moved around until i saw a river.
There i started to dig some trenches, cut trees to craft a hoe, and after gathering lots of grains from plants i started a farm, night came, i climbed a tree to avoid mobs.

Day came back, i resumed work and once i got my farm good and wheat growing, started to understand that hunger actually exist in the game and go fast and i had no coal at all , so next mission would be to find coal so at least if i managed to survive long enough for the farm to produce enough wheat to make flour , i could make some furnace and make bread.

Didn't unfortunately made it in time after a couple more days, as coal was nowhere to be found in the digging i was doing on that area devoid of mountains, + stupidly got punched several time in my back during a night patrol, basically dead character.

I respawned, and was searching where was my farm as unfortunately i respawed a bit far.
I found the river again fortunately, started to follow it in the hope it was leading to my farm and after picking mushroom in the process to hold back the hunger slightly, the game crashed.

As i said it's the first time i play TNG, so all i could get is the debug txt , not sure if it's going to help much , here's the content from the respawn up to the crash (that occured very soon after respawn):

Thats a nice idea, but TNG is TNG and Wasteland is Wasteland, so... no.

Wish i had given a try to this mod in 0.4.13 to see if it was crashing there too or if it's something new to 0.4.14 if that's really unrelated to TNG, as i only played creative mode with the minetest default subgame without ever crashing even in long sessions with .my nephew.

Thats the same "bug" and again from engine not from TNG. Maybe report it or just try another build of Minetest.
I can't help you with this.

I thought the "MeshUpdate" hinted to a different bug, as the other one refered to "Emerge-0".
Odd if those are engine bugs i have not yet got any crash from the default game. Maybe it's the addition of some of those TNG-specific mods that aren't fully accepted by the current state of the engine.

As you mention previous builds, what version of Minetest theTNG subgame was built for ?

edit : i looked around about the "emerge" thing, it seems to be memory related
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13585
Someone else mentionned a similar emerge crash on the minetest 0.4.14 release thread, though i wonder if he is using a subgame (that may add to the memory usage)
I was using the valley mapgen on that world to see what it was about, i wonder if it plays a part, as apparently it's eating more memory
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13826#p204108

for the other error related to "meshupdate", no idea.

I'm going to go back to 0.4.13 as on my default minetest game long session with my nephew we never had any problems like that.
Hopefully TNG will work on this so i'll be able to playtest it on that version too.

I have ever developed TNG on the latest nightly/daily version of MT (Minetest-dev). And I have never got bugs like these (probably because the bug is 32-bit only). Have you no 64-Bit CPU? You're on Windows, right? Maybe try the MinGW build, if you have MSVC.

You'll have to use the Server version of TNG.

And this bug existed already before I started TNG. So this bug is not subgame specific. I don't know much about the engine source code, so I really can't help you with it.

I know ... this breaks mod compatibility. But I have also planned a MTG-Compatibility modpack or something like this...

But it also means that all mods that depend on anything in default will depend on all of default, which makes implementing another compatible subgame harder. Actually I think there is already too much stuff in minetest game default mod.

A complete new subgame doesn't have to be compatible with MTG / TNG.

If I split the default mod, I'll make a logical partition (e.g. building, decoration, ... OR something like nodes, items, apis, mapgen)
Then nodes would be ever named "nodes:" (e.g. "nodes:dirt") and items with "items:".

"Bad alloc" just means that the game asked for more memory and didn't get it. This can be, and frequently is, caused by mods. I've managed it myself several times (on 64-bit linux) when I did something in lua that used memory extravagantly. It would be a severe pain to troubleshoot if you didn't already have some idea what was causing the problem.

Questions:
  • How do I access the difficulty settings?
  • How can I increase the probability of generating ruins?
  • What's the recipe for a hoe (the old recipe isn't working).
And a feature request: sheep should not be sheared if you punch them (that's what shears are for)

  • 1) Now you can access this via. the GUI into the Main Menu (see Advanced Settings)
  • 2) Now you can set this in the minetest.conf: ruin_probability = ... (default is 25; higher value, less ruins)
  • 3) Recipes are fixed now (they are like the old)
  • 4) Sorry, but no. I like it as it is. You can tear out wool from sheep without a tool, but then the sheep gets damaged. With shears you get more wool.
Thanks for reporting! :)

I am not familiar with the Farming mod you added, so I'm not sure what behavior to expect. What I do know is that this wheat I planted is taking a very long time to grow. How does this work? Do I have to do something other than planting and waiting for something to grow? Will it grow if I am logged out of the server with the server running? Do I have to physically be in the area?

edit: never mind, it is growing now, it was too far away from a source of water.

I rewrote the mod, not added one. Now it is possible to set an average time to grow (wheat: 500s, cotton: 520s, potatoes: 480s, strawberries: 480s). Maybe this is longer than before (with stupid abms), if it's too long, please say.

Later I saw that they from MTG also added timers, (maybe they saw the idea on my ToDos) but there the time to grow depends on the step number (every step needs * to * seconds).

And you can also use 'Garden Soil', onto this plants don't need water. When the compost bin is ready, you'll be able to craft it from compost, bone meal and dirt. For now it's a bucket of water and dirt (you'll get an empty bucket back).

Did you know?

With the new update you can harvest mature plants with a simple rightclick! That should make many things easier! :)

Is there any documentation? What should I know about playing the game, other than craft recipes?

Also it looks like the stick recipe isn't working ("LaTest" version)

Three things you should know:
  • You can craft a Crafting Guide with a normal unwritten book
  • You can find the documentation for developers in the file 'game_api.txt' (at the moment there are 1-2 functions undocumented)
  • I had the same bug with the sticks, and fixed it ~1h ago (See: https://git.io/v6ewW)
Thanks for trying out TNG! :)
