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 w...

No digging in unclaimed land? The only reason I can think of to do that is to make the game less fun. You have to claim land or you can't so much as chop wood, and you can't unclaim it when you're done. Run out of land claims while mining for the resources to make more? You can't mine ever again! It...

So, I got that timber mod working, fwiw. The mod that cuts down the trees, and doesn't kill the server (I hope). Not even close to realistic, but your server won't torment people who try not to leave floating trees behind. Screenshot not really helpful, since it just alters what an axe does, and if ...

Y'know that's how pollination works, right?

What you ought to do is just limit how many bees there can be. bees limited -> same rate of flowers -> no positive reinforcement.

Oh, and to add my 2c in, how to make minetest fun. ⋅ On-demand content loading. Nobody uses Ambience because it takes frikkin forever to download all the media, because someone had the brilliant idea to delete the downloader after the game's started, instead of figuring out how to download...

What I would like is to have items be picked up when you walk over them. This is the one I like. Works good, not too heavy load on the server. Now all I need is to figure out how to get it working with hoppers . Would be better in Minetest Game then having to use a mod. I don't really agree it shou...

Did you see my fork of that item drop mod? I haven't tried this one you made out, but a few years ago I added to the PilzAdam one, preventing items from never expiring, and making items accelerate towards the player as they get close. It worked pretty good when I did it, but it's been a while, so I ...

Sorry about my commit with the chests. I didn't think that when people saw 'mod "digilines_inventory" has unsatisfied dependencies: "require"' they'd go edit the source and complain when it errored, instead of installing the require module. It is admittedly pretty dumb to have to...

Whatever the case, I'm leaving technic to others to work on. It's not my mod anyway. :P Sure, no problem. I'm mostly just thinking out loud anyway, not actually expecting you to go reprogram technic for me. that ABM has to do area checks Yeah, but-- technic uses forced loading and has world anchors...

It's not really just one thing by itself, it's a collection of things Death by a thousand cuts. Well, that's good though, because it means there wasn't some huge unassailable exploit. So maybe it can get working later. The biggest issue came from long multi-kilometer runs of cable, dozens and dozen...

I have disabled the pipeworks mod and most of technic. They're too ripe for abuse in a multiplayer environment. :-( Might I ask how they were abused, specifically? It should be safe to say, since they were disabled. The greatest thing I ever enjoyed about minetest was the automation and chain react...

Thank you!

May I have interact please? I got the name cy.

May I have interact?

Neat! I built some stuff at 1000,10,1000, was fun.

Spooky! I'm trapped 512m down with dms and eyebooglies everywhere destroyan blocks w/ fireballz

I crashed the server fighting 'em though uh ._. damn server crashing mobs

glomie! xchinmoku was hitting me on the server (i.e. lost hp when he was nearby only), and also he was in my helldrop after it got griefed so he had to be the one to do it. he also denied hearing any sounds even though griefer's noteblocks were going off (which you should remove btw they're terrible...

Your server isn't behaving like the c55 0.4 one. Where is your source code? You can make a fork for it on github, or whereever you like.

you also need to install the "minetest_game" repository to play with the "full" game, not just the "minimal" game. In particular the "minimal" game does not have doors. <.< https://github.com/celeron55/minetest and https://github.com/celeron55/minetest_game respectively are the minetest "engine" (w...

the newer version can (in theory) use the old map. There is code to port from one to the other. How well it works I can't say for certain. I've never tried with an old map. It's probably best to start anew, and get on 0.4 as soon as possible. 0.4 was very much a rewrite and the vast majority of all ...

Thank you Glomie. I finally managed to reach your server, and spent a most engaging evening building a "hell drop" near spawn. There weren't many people online, but the server itself performed most decently for me. With the exception of every now and again it wouldn't kill me for 5 minutes leaving m...

May I have interact privileges? I am "cy" on the server.

Oh I didn't know the server was having problems. I will try those out, thank you.

May I please have interact privileges on the redcrab server? (username cyisfor) I tried to find a thread for asking this, but could not found. As it is required on that server to ask on this forum, this thread can be for anyone asking.

Seriously Joel your treehouse is amazing. :/ Don't leave us!

If you're running Linux, it puts processes into completely abstract address spaces. that means it's impossible for a program to acquire memory that Linux cannot then go mark as usable again after that process has died. All memory acquisition is recorded and accounted for by the kernel. The only oper...

I would recommend you use the "minetest.after" function instead of registering something to run every server step. minetest.after(10,worldtime_timechange); Also your module should use local functions and variables, and at the bottom return the interface for other modules to use it. (i.e. a get world...
