So on nathan's epic server Nathan and I upgraded the viron mob mod so that there are babies which grow up, which a normal viron spawn when you kill it, and bosses which spawn a few normal virons when you kill them.

Here is the link:
https://notabug.org/NathanS21/Epic/src/ ... mods/viron

updates also include a few extra textures Nathan made for some variation

Shame that river water spreads out very weakly unlike the normal water. None the less it's still very pretty Image

finally done with demolishing the failed Hidden Ninja Village.
sorry if you liked it, i didn't :P

the chili farm is still there, it was the only building that went as planned.
but it is too far away from the rest of Heaven Islands, so i'll have to demolish and rebuild it eventually.
until then, you can still reach it using the Ninja Airship above my base at White Path.

the Heaven Islands still don't have building plots available, but are open to visitors any time.
you can go there through Heaven's Gate at the golden teleport, Heaven's Gate #2 at second spawn or by using the Ninja Airship.

i started working on the gates of the new Hidden Ninja Village, featuring a famous design from ye olde server ;)

seeing that the fabulous Rainbow Market also connects with the Heaven Islands, i'm planning a cosmic gateway station at the Heaven Islands as well.
since we have space now, i can realize this idea i had many years ago based on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ihttXPz7I

the "Lost and Forgotten" shop, which was lost and forgotten, has now been found, remembered and re-stocked.
some unpopular items haven been replaced by more desirable ones.
lava orbs and mese monster wings require some diamonds, everything else can be purchased for 1 gold ingot per stack.

While checking out the asteroid biome for the first time, I was experiencing a lime green sky when looking at a small area. I turn away maybe 1 degree either horizontally or vertically, and it's normal. Shinji_Ikari and Dr_Crusher89 did not experience the same thing. Anyone else seeing this? I'm using client 5.3.0.

@Teneighty - it looks as if your client didn't load the skybox textures properly, try clearing your cache folder and logging back into server to reload textures maybe.

I can see the space texture if I'm not looking at that particular spot. I thought the sky was static when looking around, only changing on game time presets, but there is a different texture for looking in a specific direction?

I looked for the cache files in ~/.minetest, but I can't find them there and everything looks to be over a year old. Did the local stuff get moved in the newer client version?

In that case it sounds like the fog effect if a big enough area is loaded and your viewing range is too low it fogs things out, only this time in green... hrmmmmmmm, will look into that one.

I have a question about space : is it normal that the fog in space has another color each time I login? Sometimes it 's blue, sometimes green or yellow...

It may be something to do with the new sky/cloud api, will check and see what gives.

I am not able to access the map on jjayr.com (https://mt.jjayr.com/mt/mt02-xanadu2016/) anymore. For weeks I got the error "502 Bad Gateway". Is the map available somewhere else?
Mystik maintains the map. He's not been on in a while and the map often breaks like you've found after a while.

I was already thinking he'd have to modify the map to image convertor to put sky islands in a separate layer. Now with space I think we'd need grey asteroids in one layer, red in another, and the void in another. This would be easier to do as they have set Y coordinate limits unlike sky islands.

Fog in space is coloured, I think intentionally. Not to the point that the whole sky is green in one direction though.

Hello,

Sad day for me, someone destroyed my protected home and stole my items because I was AFK:

He wrote on my welcome sign:
Image

He stole all my chests:
Image

He destroyed the ground and the walls:
Image
Image

I play since 2016 on Xanadu and my hard work to collect items every day and build my house has been destroyed!
In the server rules, AFK is not forbidden so I don't understand why a player do that.
Is it really an admin / mod decision?

Thank you.
Best regards.

Edit: well, he came back, now we have a name:
Image
I think he is a hacker, not sure if we can do something for that...

Without the screenshots I'd have said that your portection might have "expired". It sadly sometimes does on Xanandu. Even though some players build amazing houses there, it's not really a builder-friendly server in the end. At least not if you want your buildings to last. But at least the house looks more like a storage building, so...just materials lost? Those are usually easy to replace.

Interesting that the rules don't say anything about sitting idle, yet griefing is prohibited. But I guess if the server owner decides to go on a griefing rampage, then that's an exception.

well, that escalated quickly...
i didn't want to heat up old coffee, but i feel like we should make a few things clear here:

Shinji_Ikari is the server owner. he pays the bills for internet, electricity and hardware to run the server and he gets nothing in return.
this is not a public service, he doesn't sell or advertise anything, it's just his own personal world that we are allowed to play in.

even if a player does not move or act, the server still continuously sends data to the client. this occupies bandwidth, which could be considered a waste of resources if it's not used because the player is AFK.
i'm lacking information here, and i don't want to stir this up more, but if this was not a one-time occurrence but a daily procedure, then this is something to trigger a reaction.
whether the reaction was appropriate is not up for discussion, because of the reason above.

on the bright side: as far as i can see, the destroyed nodes can easily be replaced. nothing of rare value, except the chests contents maybe, but i took a look today and i must say that chests of wooden swords and wooden trash cans are not a big loss.
just leave it at that, and things will be fine.

regarding the written rules: there is no rule against building a giant phallus house, but it's still forbidden and very likely to result in a permanent ban.
the fact that admin decisions are absolute is written on the rule board, however. and with that, it's all set.

protections don't simply expire. but if a player was inactive for more than 6 months, protections get removed. naturally, quality buildings get protected by the admin.
i have witnessed this several times, and the buildings that didn't last were mostly plain cubes made of wood or cobble.
i see no reason to keep those, especially when they occupy popular areas near big roads and/or teleporters.

The host and some moderators on Xanadu are complete Aholes. So much so it's laughable. It's as if they work for Microsoft or have some agenda to make small kids cry and others hate Minetest.
do you have evidence to backup your claims?

i don't know any moderators who are like this, so i would assume that "some" refers to me...
yes, i probably did "make a small kid cry" when i refused to be their "friend", build a house with them and give them 50 diamonds and armor.
and i would do it again, because i'm evil.

looking at the amazing mega-structures that will become the gates of Avalon and Valhalla, i felt like my Gate Guardians are somewhat lacking in overwhelming presence...
and i put them too close to fit a giant door between them, so i decided to make a giant moon gate around them.
