--- New mod "Fastfood" ---


Thanks to our player DjZab we now have two new mods.

First you can enjoy from now on fastfood which will be like tacos, burgers, chips, nachos and more.
Cook it for your own or take a first bite in Dj's McGundul near spaceport :D

Second is barchair. Like its name says it is a barchair :) Decorate your home, shop or restaurant with it.
Or whatever you like.


*** Reminder ***

Some people looking for places to open a shop. We have two markets in LC where everybody can open a shop
for free. No need to buy a piece of ground there. Old market in LC is for food and New market in LCE is for
everything else. Just ask me and I add you to the area.


Happy mining and enjoy the server with the probably most varieties of food in minetest worlds

First one thing about "The Art Of Communication"

Many ways of communication is possible in Jungle depending on if someone
is online or not and you want it private or public. There is no need of explaining
them one by one in detail here, because everybody already know about.
Hanging up signs, posters or whatever in the world expecting me to find and
answer them is no option. I will not waste my time to look for or even answer them.
Do never expect this to happen. Use provided communication systems, they work fine.


Dragons :

some changes about them.
changed spawning to a max_depth of -29500
dragons immune to all weapons but bullets
they should spawn lower in number now
dragons will stay wip. expect changes to prevent diamond farming


Quarries

quarries when purging and send stuff through pipes needs lots of serverpower.
I will not tolerate setups with huge amounts of quaries. Last thing I saw was 37 in line !
This makes server instable, laggy and not enjoyable to play to the other players.
Usually I give warnings when setups endanger server stability. If these are ignored
expect shorttime bans and items taken by me (and no you do not get them back)



Snow

I can not believe it by myself, but we really have snow now in Jungle !!
look inventory for recipe. You can even cut snowblocks in circular saw

happy mining,

Gundul

Skins and Snowballs

by u18398 » Post

--- Chose a skin and throw snowballs ---


newly available from this afternoon (UTC+7) are all
skins from minetest skindb.

You find a new icon in your inventory where you can change your skin.
Santa Claus you will find on page 9.

Snowballs are throwable now doing 2hp damage.
Get ready for your first snowball fight :)

How about building a snowballfight arena ?


Happy mining,

Sand_stone

by u18398 » Post

--- Generation of default:sand_stone ---


default:sand_stone is now generated when lava_flowing is coming
in contact with river_water or river_water_flowing


Use the usual setups to produce as much as you need, or take a
look at Meselab in /openlab for demo config.

Happy mining,

Gundul

[EDIT] it is lava_flowing ! not lava_source as i wrote before. That will turn into obsidian

Fix

by u18398 » Post

--- Machine fixed ---

The machine in the public mine was not well configured by me.
Items which cannot be grinded and and molten to ingots should have
been ejected. Instead they got stuck in the chest.

Machine is working now !

If you encounter any errors with it do not wait and write me a mail in game.

Y'know, as much as I rag on land claim mods, they do prevent people from causing harm. When you dig a block in a protected area, it doesn't even register on other clients. It never even touches the database. As I sit here in jail without warning, for something that caused no harm, I have to wonder what kind of an ego someone has to have to ruin their own game, in order to hurt people because they may have dared to even think about disobeying them, but didn't actually do so. Well, I should have suspected from the trollface skins, but I suppose admins here are really friendly to griefers, even going so far as to implement this land claim mod, so griefers can randomly litter the wilderness with land claims and send people to jail with ease, ruining any resource gathering or exploration. So, just a head's up, if you think about playing here. It's a beautiful server otherwise.

Sorry, but it looks like you did not understand how protection works on my server. Maybe you
should read the rules more carefully. Also getting out of jail is pretty easy, but only for those
who take a bit of time to read rules and information provided here in forum or at spawn
or in the provided wikiblocks ingame (last you will even find in jail).

A few things more you did not understand:
There is only one admin: me
littering protection blocks is not possible, you can only use them in building area
touching an area which is protected by protection block will NOT send you to jail !
There are areas, announced in the lower left corner, only here you will be send to jail if it is not yours.

All this information is provided here in forum (see first page) and ingame also.
And no, this is not a griefer friendly server. Jailsystem works very efficiently for almost 1,5 years !
But yes, if you do want to play on my server you have to invest some time to read several things.
In exchange you will get a relaxed, undisturbed gameplay.

Minetest 0.4.15

by u18398 » Post

--- Minetest 0.4.15 ---


I just made a test and ran server with newest version of minetest game.
The bad news is, an update of server software is not possible at the
moment. Too many mods need an update to work with new version.
Looking at the large amount of mods we use, that may take a while.
For example even registering the nodes of scifi_nodes mod crashes
the server.

So expect update of server software not before middle of January.

Happy mining,

Gundul

--- Happy New Year ---


Happy new year to the Minetest World and specially to the players of Jungle.
Thanks for spending your time and helping develop this server to what it is now.
Last year server had a total traffic of 2.5 Terabytes (starting from February on its
new location in Germany). Most quiet time was summer but see yourself what
happened in December last year :

A lot of big projects going on right now. All these hand crafted without worldedit and

Fixes

New year comes with a few changes :


Protection:

All your mobs are protected now, as long as they are inside your area.
It does not matter if tamed and name tagged or not.
Any touch of mobs inside an area which is not yours send you to jail
A big thank you for this to our player TANK

Scifi_nodes mod:

is ready for upgrading to minetest 0.4.15. I will try the next days to do so
credits go to ... TANK :)


mobs_redo mod:

I added two nodes from factory_bridges mod to the api
namely they are a06 and a09.
This prevents mobs jumping over them and can so be used to
build cages


Rules:

are updated (the protection section) and all new players
have to agree to rules before they are able to shout


Happy mining,

Gundul

If you have some standard mods that causes problems, I could try to have a look and fix them (can't promise).

I don't know if it still happens but we had many "too many users" in december. Could it be possible to increase the max number of players if so or it may be too much for the server ?
Thanks Naj.

One problem to upgrade to minetest 0.4.15 is already solved, if any other will occur i will
let you know :)

For the max players. The main issue is that the more you get on the top of servers.minetest.net
list, the more android kiddies will see it on their screen and try to login. That is what keeps
players from being able to login. The server hardware is at its limit already. Only thing which
would be possible is to kick all those who stay longer than 5min in jail or put some mod to kick
all players standing around somewhere. (including those guarding their quarries) :)
But to be honest, we gained a lot of new serious players in december too. It is true it can get
full in the evenings. Anyway a game engine solution to identify android devices and let server
owners decide to let them connect or not would help a lot, safe server resources and traffic.

Oh no there is one more solution:
Everyone pays me 5Euros a month to rent some dedicated server hardware with more
power, lol

If you know any other solution let me know :)

Hello Junglians. Happy new year to all of you.
I recently came to know about sunflower invasion of jungle ;) and thanks to Gundul he has made a sunflower killing device called "antipest". So, you may now kill more of those pests. But, before throwing away all those sunflowers you already have before this news came out; you can donate sunflowers to my dropbox in the post office. i will glad to accept it. if space won't be enough in dropbox i will be putting a mithril chest with vacuum tube in my island. you can use travelnet at HOT to reach there. Thanks for your time and generousity, i will be grateful to you. :)

--- NEW MOD ---

lol i am too late, tm3 was faster than me :)

But yes, I felt boring today and decided to do something against the
sometimes quiet annoying sunflowers.

The new mod I made is called "antipest" so look for it in inventory
and you will find a "antipest:cleaner"

It is a technic device so rechargeable in your batterybox. Once charged
you will be able to kill up 6000 sunflowers. Just hold it in your hand and
leftclick. In an area of 20 nodes in radius all sunflowers will be killed.
It is a 100% herbizide, no drops, just kill.

Textures are wip, so is the mod. If anyone has a good idea for texture
please contact me.

Happy mining

I am pretty sure it would. But maybe it would not help you with the "too many users" problem :D

well ofcourse, when things get down to pixel it don't look that good. But can try. Water mv machine look good :). Any size constraint for this one? specify a dimension otherwise. :) so top and bottom nearly same probably except those pesticide filling cap on top. side ways look same. i have a design in my head. but you need to specify dimension. :)

I guess any square png file can be used as texture. 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 etc

The wielded item can be stretched in one direction if that should be needed.

A big thank you to our player tm3 !!!

We have now a awesome texture for my antipest mod :)
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16415

The antipest_cleanup device will now process the collected
sunflowers into coal:

each 9 sunflowers into 1 coal_lump
while each 9 coal_lumps are automatically converted into a coalblock
and everything will be added to your inventory.

Also turn chat messages of antipest on/off with a right click on the ground


------------
two mods have been deactivated, they where

- showbones bevause not working reliable, especially when died in Lava

- gravitysim because suspected to generate too much cpu load on server



happy mining,

Gundul
