Compiling Older Minetest Versions - Weird Stone Towers

by Johnny Joy » Post

Problem: Giant stone mountains are sometimes nearly 500 nodes tall.
Version: 0.4.8 - 0.4.13
Game Version: 0.4.8 - 0.4.13
Mods: Bakedclay, ethereal (both from 2014 and meant for these versions of Minetest)
Platform: Alpine Linux Edge and Debian Linux various versions

Does anyone who was around in 2014 remember what might cause this? I could use a hint.

This does not happen when using the Windows binary releases, though.

Background

I have created a mod that will allow 5.6 using a singleblock mapgen to request map blocks from a remote server running a completely different version of Minetest, like 0.4.9. The objective is to fill in missing map blocks from maps made back in 2014 or to create servers with a nostalgic look, buggy landscape, and all.

The secondary objective is to create an autoscaling mapgen service to allow mapgen to span multiple physical machines for performance.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any help or ideas you might have. Take care.
